Group One Prix De L'Opera Guide 2023

Finished 5th in the Prix Jean Romanet on heavy ground when last seen.

Beat the winner of that the time before on good to soft in a listed race at Chantilly.

Drying ground will certainly help this filly and she isn't ruled out at huge e/w odds.

Not the most consistent filly but very good on her day.

Would of gone very close in the group 1 Pretty Polly behind Via Sistina without suffering interference.

Drops back to 10f here after finishing 5th in the Yorkshire Oaks and she is another who would prefer drying ground.

Clearly didn't stay the 12f when 9th of 11 in the Yorkshire Oaks last time out.

Prior to that had been in superb form winning three on the bounce including the group 1 Nassau at Glorious Goodwood.

That form is the best on offer here and the 8/1 available could look a huge price on her drop back to 10f.

Won a listed race two starts ago but has been beaten in group races either side of that.

Needs to a show a lot more here and would be a surprise were she to feature here.

Taken her form to a new level this year just being touched off in the Middleton Stakes behind Free Wind at York, winning the Duke Of Cambridge at Royal Ascot and then finishing 2nd behind Tahiyra in the Matron Stakes just over three weeks ago.

Is versatile regards to ground and everything looks set for another big run.

Only blip on her record so far came when 6th in the French Oaks in June.

Got right back on track after a break 42 days ago beating Lumiere Rock by a head in a group 2 at Deauville (2nd & 3rd have won since)

Steps up to group 1 company again here and not to be underestimated.

Ran well at Royal Ascot when 4th in the Ribblesdale Stakes finishing behind Warm Heart and Lumiere Rock.

Finished last in the Prix Vermeille on her return from a break 3 weeks ago.

Drop back to 10f here needs to spark a revival and she is hard to trust now from a betting perspective.

Won a group 3 when last at Deauville 63 days ago.

Twice placed in group 3 and listed races before that.

She hasn't shown anything like the form she needs to to win this however.

Deservedly got her head in front for the season when winning the Blandford stakes at the Curragh on Irish Champions Weekend.

Has ran some incredible races in defeat also this season.

That win last time would of gave her plenty of confidence for another crack at group 1 level here.

Won three on the spin coming into this including a group 3 in Germany.

Hard to know what that form equates to and she looks up against it here.

Had a busy first campaign with 6 starts already under her belt.

Ran arguably a career best when chasing home Lumiere Rock last time but hard to see her overturning the 3 lengths she needs to with that rival.

Looked a superstar in the making when running away with the French Oaks in June (form is very patchy)

Things haven't really gone right for her in the Nassau and the Vermeille since.

She needs to bounce back from those efforts and she is a very short price here.

Nevertheless she is a big player.
