G1 Prix du Cadran | Horse Racing Free Tips

Group 1 winner Princess Zoe (Ger) (Jukebox Jury {Ire}) will skip the Sept. 10 G2 Doncaster Cup S. on Friday and instead point towards the G1 Prix du Cadran on Oct. 2. A winner of the Cadran in 2020, the grey mare will not get her required soft ground at Doncaster. Fourth in the Oct. 25 G1 Prix Royal-Oak after her Cadran heroics, Princess Zoe ran ninth in a listed race at Cork on Apr. 3 and improved to fourth at that level at Gowran Park on May 5. A distant second in the G1 Gold Cup at Royal Ascot in June, she was last seen filling that position again in the G3 Irish St Leger Trial S. at The Curragh on Aug. 13.

“I don't think she'll be going to Doncaster,” said trainer Tony Mullins. “There's no rain. She's in good form. She's going to Longchamp for the Prix du Cadran. It was a great day last year and she should get her ground there again.”

Trainer Tony Mullins is pointing Group 1 winner Princess Zoe (Ger) (Jukebox Jury {Ire}) to the Apr. 25 G3 Vintage Crop S. at Navan. The grey, who won last season's G1 Prix du Cadran and was fourth in the G1 Prix Royal-Oak in later October, ran an uncharacteristic ninth in the Listed Noblesse S. on Apr. 3.

Mullins said, “We had a suspicion that she was in season, but we brought her to the vet this morning and she wasn't. She's coming into season now, so whether that unsettled her, I don't know. I'd say it was a combination of ground and trip and it being her first run of the season. Joey [Sheridan] said she was just going as fast as she was able to most of the time.

“We'll wait for a bit of rain. We're still looking at the Vintage Crop, but if the rain doesn't come she won't run. She's in good form and we're just hoping that things will improve for the run.”
