Quite a good stayers Listed race today in France.  The 10.40 at Deauville, is over almost 1 mile and 6 furlongs for fillies and mares.  Edisa has not tried this trip before, but everything about her suggests she will stay.  She usually relaxes in her races, which always gives an option for connections to try and go further, even though she has good winning form over a shorter trip.  She needed her run when finishing fourth,  back in March, and last season improved a lot for her seasonal debut.  I think she has solid claims to win here.  Her main rival is Muette, who has proven stamina, she won first time out last season, and looks very honest.  If the ground keeps drying out, She should be ok, as will the favorite Edisa.  Another to consider is Think Of Me, who won well last time, the ground was heavy that day, and she galloped on strongly in the testing conditions.  Currently the drying ground, slightly goes against her chance of winning, as she would like the heavens to open !

It should be a good race, I’m hoping the weather stays dry and Edisa can have her usual strong finishing effort to get the job done.

More tomorrow.
