Stepping up off two wins in lowly contests over seven furlongs at Clairefontaine July 25 and over an extended mile at Craon Sept. 20 to annexe the Listed Prix Isonomy over a mile at Deauville Oct. 22, La Cressonniere made light work of this latest test to defy a penalty and extend her perfect tally. Settled in third early as Fourioso provided a suitably generous tempo, the bay was pushed out to take control approaching the furlong pole and drew away with a strong staying effort in the testing conditions.
