1m6f Qatar Prix de Royallieu (Group 1) (3yo+ Fillies & Mares) (Grande Course) (Turf) (3yo+)
This looks really competitive and the 3/1 favourite Melo Melo will take some beating as her second to Warm Heart in the Vermeille is strong form. However, prior to that she only beat BAIYKARA a short neck at Deauville and she’s available at 10/1 – three times the price. Baiykara skipped the Vermeille to stay fresh for this and may be able to reverse the form on account of a better preparation. Faster going will be a slight concern but I doubt many here will have expected it. Ottery has a near identical profile but is a shorter price and I may back both before the off.
1pt win Baiykara @10/1, 15:33 Longchamp, Saturday
