+IBIZA (FR) (f, 3, Redoute's Choice {Aus}–Olga Prekrasa, by Kingmambo) was reined back to race in rear through halfway in this unveiling. Shuffled back to be last of the eight approaching the quarter-mile marker, the 34-5 chance quickened smartly to challenge wide with 100 metres remaining and was ridden out to prevail by a nose from Speciality (Fr) (Lawman {Fr}), a daughter of MG1SW Pride (Fr) (Peintre Celebre), in a blanket finish. The homebred bay becomes the second scorer, from as many foals to race, produced by Olga Prekrasa (Kingmambo) and is a half-sister to last term's G1 Prix Jean Prat winner and G1 Prix du Moulin third Zelzal (Fr) (Sea the Stars {Ire}). Olga Prekrasa is a winning granddaughter of MG1SP G3 Lancashire Oaks victress State Crystal (Ire) (High Estate {Ire}), herself kin to four black-type performers including G1 Fillies' Mile heroine Crystal Music (Nureyev) and GSW G1 Prix Vermeille third Solar Crystal (Ire) (Alzao). Sales history: €100,000 RNA Ylg '15 AROCT. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, €14,100. Video, sponsored by Fasig-Tipton.
