Group One French 1000 Guineas Guide 2022

A busy 2 year old campaign saw Cachet only win once as a juvenile but she shaped well multiple times in group races over 7 furlongs. Notably coming 3rd in the Fillies’ Mile at the end of the season.

Scoring over 7 furlongs on her seasonal comeback with absolute ease she then blazed the trail from the front of the field in the 1000 Guineas to score classic success at the start of the month.

She showed great tenacity and speed to score in the 1000 Guineas and looks more than capable of capturing the French equivalent.

A highly tried sort, Who Knows scored a couple of times as a 2 year old but saw her form tail off since taking a group 3 race narrowly over 7 furlongs.

Pitched in at group 1 level off the back of that saw her find out for quality and she’s failed to sparkle since then. Being beaten easily at group 3 level on her two subsequent starts.

She shaped like 7 furlongs was too short on her seasonal reappearance but will need to step up to make her presence felt here.

A winner over 7 furlongs on deep ground, Acer Alley managed to back that low level success up well when scoring at big odds to scoop a group 3 race here at Longchamp.

She failed to make the step up to group 1 company at the end of last season and found herself well outclassed.

She also found herself well beaten on seasonal comeback and only managed 4th behind Rosacea. She looks held on that form behind 3 rivals here.

Capturing 3 races as a juvenile last season. Showing bundles of speed to score over 6 furlongs, she then managed to step up in trip and easily win over 7 furlongs on soft ground on her next start.

Found or a bit of quality when stepped up to group 3 level she moved on from that to easily score at listed level on her next outing.

Disappointing when favourite on reappearance, she only managed to beat a couple of rivals home to finish 5th. Needs to step up on what she’s shown so far.

An English raider for Harry and Roger Charlton, Jumbly nabbed a listed win over 7 furlongs on soft ground last season in taking fashion to round out a decent campaign.

Despite being found out on quick ground in a group 2 at Newmarket, she bounced back in style to capture her listed honours. Connections clearly having targets over a mile in mind for this season, she ran a stormer when sent off favourite for the Fred Darling Stakes last month but was narrowly seen off by Wild Beauty.

The form not exactly boosted in the 1000 Guineas by Wild Beauty, she should come on for her debut run and will appreciate a softer surface here.

Despite winning on debut, Times Square has failed to kick on from her opening success and failed to win in her subsequent four starts.

Scoring over 7.5 furlongs on heavy ground at Deauville last summer, she fared well for the rest of the season without winning. Most notably coming 2nd in a group 1 over a mile in the Prix Marcel Boussac. Leading in the last 2 furlongs, the ground maybe just got the better of her late on.

She failed to show the same promise on seasonal debut however and finished back in 7th over a mile in a group 3 contest at Longchamp back in April.

If she brings her form from the Prix Marcel Boussac she’s got a great chance.

Rosacea quickly left a debut defeat behind when winning and has been unbeaten since. Winning over 7 furlongs at Deauville, she backed that up well with another success over 7.5 furlongs on her next outing.

Stepped up to a mile for her last run of the season, she improved again to take a group 3 race over a mile at Deauville despite heavy ground.

She scored on reappearance over this course and distance when striking late to collar Daisy Maisy to gain another group 3 win.

She’s looked solid over a mile and arrives off the back of a course and distance win.

Successful only once as a juvenile when scoring over 7 furlongs on deep ground at Compiegne, Sicilian Defense had her sights set much higher for her next outing but was grossly found out for quality in a strong contest over a mile.

Rounding out her juvenile season when beaten narrowly over 6.5 furlongs, she returned as a 3 year old with two outings already, finishing 2nd in both times. Running over 6.5 furlongs, she shaped well in a listed contest last time out and is bred to suit this step up in trip.

She needs to step up on what she’s previously shown to get seriously involved.

Twice a winner over 6.5 furlongs at Deauville and Chantilly, Osmose showed plenty of pace as a 2 year old to win over sprinting trips in low grade affairs.

Making her reappearance as a 3 year old in group company at Deauville on bottomless ground back in April, the deep ground seemed to blunt her turn of foot and she only managed to come home in 4th. She did keep on well however and suggested that a mile is well within her grasp.

A move to a sounder surface here will help but she’s got quality to prove at group 1 level.

Finishing her 2 year old campaign as a perfect three wins from three starts, she started life over a mile and scored at low level before taking listed honours over 8 furlongs.

Stepping up in grade but down in trip held no problems for Mangoustine as she easily garnered ground success over 7 furlongs.

Tasting defeat for the first time on seasonal comeback she finished a decent 3rd in a group 3 contest over this track and trip. She looked a little one paced and needs to come on for her outing to land a serious blow.

Despite only having three runs in her career, Andre Fabre’s filly has made a decent impression. running with promise over a mile on debut, she stepped down in trip and scored well at the second time of asking.

Put away through the winter she returned to racing as a 3 year old and easily won a group 3 event for Fillies over 9 furlongs here at Longchamp last month.

Stepping back in trip doesn’t look an obvious move off the back of her last win and she looks more of a hopeful for the Prix De Diane.

A winner of a maiden over 8.5 furlongs is the only success for Sea Of Ash. The daughter of Wootton Bassett’s form has been pretty meagre.

Beaten in low grade events over a mile recently and not showing a great deal as a juvenile, she looks to have too much to do to be competitive.

Aidan O’Brien sends over Toy. She doesn’t have the most attractive of profiles as she’s taken three attempts to break her maiden.

Beaten when favourite in her only outing as a 2 year old she was then sent off a short priced favourite for her first run of the season but again had to settle for 2nd. With some experience in the books however she showed her talent last time out to absolutely bolt up in maiden company at Cork over 7 furlongs.

She’s got to step up markedly to make a splash here but she’s clearly showing enough at home to be sent over here.

Scoring twice as a 2 year old last season, Daisy Maisy scored over 7 furlongs and a mile. Looking most at home on softer ground, she ran well in the Haras De Bouquetot to be a clearcut but well beaten 2nd.

Shaping well on seasonal comeback saw her come a narrow 2nd in a decent group 3 contest over this course and distance. Only being nabbed late on by the eventual winner.

That’s a strong piece of course and distance form to have in the books and she looks primed for a solid outing.

Another English raider. An easy winner on her sole start as a 2 year old, Heart Of The Moment bounded clear with ease over 6 furlongs at Yarmouth.

That outing came late in the season and she wasn’t seen again as a juvenile. Returning to racing in the Fred Darling stakes, she looked a little out of her depth and only managed to come 6th.

She’ll improve for that run but needs to find bundles to get competitive here.
