Looking at the race meeting at Deauville today, in the 4.10 race over 9 furlongs and 97 yards the heavily backed unbeaten favourite is Lady Of Spain who will be ridden by Christophe Soumillon for the first time.

She has won all three of her runs so far and was value for a bit more when she scored at Southwell on the all-weather surface last time, as she was hampered when making her first bit of headway in the straight and did well to win under the circumstances. She is well-drawn, but it will not be easy as one filly who is value in the betting is Secretive, who ran well on the PSF at Chantilly last time when a close-up fourth in a competitive race against male rivals. She is the each-way angle in the race.

The George Boughey-trained Moonspirit is also one to consider. She is improving and likes all-weather surfaces. Her biggest concern is a wide draw.

More soon.
