Longchamp Race 1 - Qatar Prix Marcel Boussac - Criterium Des Pouliches (G1)
ALLELA (10) Brave effort to win narrowly last start at Chantilly and lining up against easier rivals. Strong form this preparation winning 2 from as many attempts. Serious player. DATA (11) Tidy run when 3rd last start at this track and drops back to a suitable class. Amongst the placegetters at every start this preparation and solid career start. This field suits. QUEEN OF THE DAY (5) First up after a break. Amongst the placegetters when 2nd last run at Deauville and back in an easier grade. Will be aiming for a soft run from the draw. No surprise to see a forward showing and one of the main hopes in this race. SPIRIT TANGO (1) Ran over the top of them when winning last start at Goodwood and has been racing in stronger company. Will try to take advantage of the draw. Can get the job done.

Romped home to win last start at Goodwood and up against a less competitive field. Has a good draw. Putting a tidy record together so far. Can win.

Jumped at $2.38 and finished 6th last run at Curragh but will find this grade easier. Shows very good closing speed. Very competitive this preparation and promising career start. Betting is the best guide.

Back after a break. Competitive effort when 2nd last run at Deauville and dropping in grade. Jockey Mickael Barzalona and trainer Fh Graffard (S) must be respected together. Good chance in this.
