La Teste De Buch Race 2 - Prix De L'afac Stakes
SHARAH (13) represents notable connections. Recorded a career best on third and most recent appearance over course and distance after failing to place twice prior. Expected to challenge. NAWAZ AL SHAHANIA (2) missed by a nose when runner-up on initial career outing tackling 2000m at Mont-de-Marsan three weeks ago. Rates a contender and could be open to improvement. SS LORA (4) is the pick of the debutants. Bred by Af Albahar out of Tahaf. Worth giving serious consideration. ZANOBIA (14) cannot be dismissed providing first career start. This three-year-old filly bred by Master Ginoux might have an impact.
