Europes premier flat race first run in 1920 . This years renewal looks wide open with 17 runners going to post on ground described as very soft .
The Aidan O'Brien trained three-year-old Irish filly MINNIE HAUK , has been put in favourite at around 7-2 ,after winning her last five races , including winning the English & Irish Oaks at Epsom & Curragh,her best form has been faster ground though has winning form on softer ground as two-year-old .The form of her Oaks victories is questionable in this much deeper race , though cant be ruled out .
Last years ARC runner up AVENTURE should go well after winning G1 Prix Vermeille at Lonchamp last month over C&D in good style, goes particularly well her at Longchamp (11222) , including finishing excellent second in race last year behind the useful Bluestocking .All her best form has been on soft surface. Looks solid each-way bet at 5-1 or above, especially with SKYBET paying five places .
French three-year-old colt DARYZ looks interesting after finishing short head second in 10f Prix du Prince d 'Orange at Longchamp, finishing strongly from off the pace, looks open to improvement over this longer trip .Each-way claims at around 12-1
Best of the rest looks to be the French four-year-old colt SOSIE , who goes well her at Longchamp winning five times at the track , also finished fair fourth in race last year . Best form on soft surface .Decent place claims from good draw in stall 3 .
VERDICT : (1) AVENTURE (2) DARYZ (3) SOSIE (4) MINNIE HAUK
