Longchamp Race 5 - Al Shira'aa Racing Prix Vanteaux (Group 3)
ZLATA (10) registered a debut victory in coming home a neck clear of her rivals in a 1600m conditions event at Chantilly in September. Selected to resume with a win. VATICANA (4) delivered a 4L success racing from off the pace in the 1600m Listed Prix La Camargo at Saint-Cloud. Expected to deliver another big effort. ZARAXIA (8) took her record to two wins from as many starts in scoring by 0.75L in the 1700m Listed Prix Delahante - Pellegrin at Marseille-Borely in October. Shortlisted with a tongue tie applied for the first time. ZAYIDA (1) is another to consider on her first start since a 1.75L success over 1600m at Saint-Cloud in October.

Second run back. First-up after four months 5th of 10 at Saint-Cloud on March 10 over 2000m, slow going 6 len behind Pearled Majesty with 55.5kg at $20. Previously second-up won by 5.5 len at Lyon-la-Soie November 17 over 1800m defeating Svanetie carrying 58kg at $3.30. Unlikely to threaten.

Resuming. Finished off last campaign third of 9 at Chantilly All Weather November 8 over 1600m, 1.2 len behind Khovikhov carrying 55.5kg at $2.80. At her first start won by nose this track October 19 over 1800m defeating Global Asset carrying 58kg at $5. Will take a lot from this run but stays under notice.

Resuming after a lengthy spell. Only one run when favourite; won by a long-neck at Chantilly September 15 over 1600m on a soft track defeating Kiss Melody with 53.5kg at $2.20. This is an ideal race to kick off. Top hope.
