Girls In Charge

Sunday’s G3 Prix Bertrand du Breuil Longines at Chantilly is dominated by distaffers, with the most pertinent being last year’s G1 Poule d’Essai des Pouliches and G1 Prix de Diane heroine Avenir Certain (Fr) (Le Havre {Ire}). Only seventh in the G2 Prix du Muguet on her comeback over a mile at Saint-Cloud May 1, Antonio Caro and Gerard Augustin-Normand’s star stays at that trip and meets Godolphin’s 2014 G2 Prix de Sandringham winner and G1 Sun Chariot S. third Fintry (Ire) (Shamardal). Also a touch disappointing on her seasonal bow when fifth as favorite for Newmarket’s G3 Dahlia S. over nine furlongs May 3, the homebred has a tough task ahead of her on what should have been a confidence-restoring session. The Niarchos Family’s Faufiler (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) has something to find on these two rivals, but the May 19 Listed Prix de Montretout scorer may have more to offer, being a daughter of the famed Six Perfections (Fr) (Celtic Swing {GB}).
