  • Prix De L'Opera

    Burgarita @ 14/1 with Skybet looks savage EW value to me.

    Most firms have her priced between 5-9's, and when Love, Teona, La Petite Coco etc all go elsewhere, the market is going to cut up massively, and 14/1 EW will be a distant memory.

    She's a Sea The Stars filly who ran an absolute blinder in the Qatar Prix Vermeille, finishing a very close 4th in a bunched finish vs 3 horses that won't be in the race this time around (Snowfall, Teona, La Jaconde). She travelled so well in that race and was last to asked a question and I can see her going off way way shorter than 14/1 once all the others get pulled.

    Andre Fabre last won the race in 1997 which I couldn't quite believe, but I think Burgarita stands every chance. Be fair to question her will to win, but that run last time out was her best by far and she has form on very soft ground which is another plus going into a wet and dreary weekend.

    Let's see how long 14's lasts....

      I personally like Joan Of Arc myself and I'm hoping she will show her last run to be all wrong(well behind your fancy), especially with AOB now in much better form.

      Paddy's have her 100/30 but you can get a general 7s with quite a few other firms and 8s if you have a VBet account.

        SIBILA SPAIN @ 6/1 for me, on the back of a nice win last time out. If she runs her usual race she'll be setting the pace again with a decent gallop and won't mind the soft ground either.

        Hope to see her in the Arc next year.

          Tempted to back zeyaadah and hope she comes back to her Nassau stakes run

          But holding off for now

            Now this feels more like an outsider's race given the inconsistency of the form: horses beating each other

            Two outsiders that appeal are Babylone and Incarville

            Audarya and Joan of Arc best of the fancied horses having done it before in big races

                  I don't see a surprise in the Abbaye: Berneuil/Glass Slippers

                    At least the winner had been knocking on the door in some group ones - unlike a certain German horse
