Craon Race 1 - Prix Groupama (Prix De Champagne) Mdn Stakes
Harry Angel filly ROYAL RIZZI (2) lost out by 1.25L in placing second in a 1350m maiden at Lyon-Parilly. Taken to go one better to break her maiden at the fifth attempt. ALFIYA (3) chased home a subsequent winner in placing 2.5L second racing from the front over 1400m at Vichy. Expected to play a part in the finish. AIRLIE BEACH (4) suffered a 2.5L defeat in coming home fourth in the previously mentioned Lyon-Parilly race. Strong claims of delivering her first victory. Unraced Armour filly SUGAR MAGNOLIA (9) is out of a mare who won three times including as a two-year-old. Of note debuting for a good stable.
