Longchamp Race 1 - Prix Du Petit Couvert (Group 3)
RAYEVKA (8) failed to shine when 4.75L seventh in the 1300m G1 Prix Maurice de Gheest at Deauville. Selected to return to winning ways. PONNTOS (2) is expected to go well following a 3.25L triumph in a 1200m event at Most. ESTEPONA (7) gets a chance to shine on the back of a 2.25L fourth in the 1000m Listed Prix du Cercle at Deauville. SPARTAN ARROW (1) trailed home fifteenth in the 1005m G1 Nunthorpe Stakes at York. Dangerous racing in blinkers for the first time.
