SPOTIFY (FR) (c, 3, Redoute's Choice {Aus}–Gwenseb {Fr} {GSW-Fr, $297,177}, by Green Tune), who scored on debut over a mile at Bordeaux-le-Bouscat in September, was settled in fourth early travelling smoothly. Sent up to take command before the 300-metre pole, the 11-5 second favourite was pushed out to record an authoritative three-length success from Mujeeb (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}). The winner is a half-brother to the Listed Prix Coronation scorer and G3 Prix de Lieurey runner-up Foreign Tune (GB) (Invincible Spirit {Ire}), SW & GSP-Fr, $161,614, to the G2 Prix Daniel Wildenstein and G2 Prix de Sandringham scorer Impassable (Ire) (Invincible Spirit {Ire}), MGSW-Fr, $269,064, and to the G3 Prix la Rochette and G3 Prix du Palais-Royal winner and G1 Criterium International third Attendu (Fr) (Acclamation {GB}), MGSW & G1SP-Fr, $177,136. The dam Gwenseb was a speedy type, capturing the G3 Prix du Bois and placing in the G2 Criterium de Maisons-Laffitte and G2 Prix Robert Papin as a juvenile. A descendant of the renowned matriarch Frenetique (Fr) (Tyrant), she has a yearling filly by Oasis Dream (GB) named Gwendola (GB) to come. Lifetime Record: 2-2-0-0, €21,000.
