Born To Sea’s Tulipa Chope Best In the Reservoirs

Having beaten the subsequent G3 Prix des Chenes winner Zabiari (GB) (Wootton Bassett {GB}) in the Listed Criterium du FEE at Deauville in August, Alain Jathiere's Tulipa Chope (Fr) (Born To Sea {Ire}) took the next step up the ladder in her stride when returning to Normandy to capture Wednesday's G3 Prix des Reservoirs. Settled in behind the leader early by Theo Bachelot, the Stephane Wattel-trained bargain €5,000 Osarus September graduate was travelling best turning in and tanked her way to the front two out. Chased to the line by the Wertheimers' TDN Rising Star Aventure (Ire) (Sea The Stars {Ire}), the 2-1 second favourite had first run on that 17-10 market-leader and was not for catching as she registered a 1 1/4-length success.

“We intended to run her in the [G1 Prix Marcel] Boussac, but passed on it because I felt at that point that she was not as well as I would have hoped,” Wattel said of the winner, who was also third behind the subsequent Boussac third Les Pavots (Ire) (No Nay Never) in Vichy's Listed Prix des Jouvenceaux et des Jouvencelles in July. “After watching the Boussac, I had no regrets. She had been off since August and it is always a concern to return after such a long break, but her last piece of work was excellent so we hoped she would run well. You will see her again next year in the [G3] Prix de la Grotte.”

Pedigree Notes
Tulipa Chope is out of Tulipe Rouge (Fr) (Panis), who emanates from The Aga Khan's “V” family which features, among others, the G1 Prix de Diane heroine Valyra (GB) (Azamour {Ire}), the G1 Queen Anne S. and G1 Prix d'Ispahan hero Valixir (Ire) (Trempolino) and the GI Breeders' Cup Mile winner Val Royal (Fr) (Royal Academy). Her yearling filly Winne Chope (Fr) is by Gutaifan (Ire).

Pivotal’s Fancy Me Notches G3 Prix des Reservoirs Triumph

Philippe Sogorb trainee Fancy Me (Ire) (Pivotal {GB}–Besotted {Ire}, by Dutch Art {GB}), who ran fourth in July's Listed Criterium du Bequet at Tarbes, posted a runner-up finish in a seven-furlong conditions heat at Toulouse last month and stepped forward to claim a career high upped to one mile in Tuesday's G3 Prix des Reservoirs at Deauville. The 93-10 chance raced second through the early strides, but was shuffled back to track the leaders in fourth by halfway. Rowed along to reduced arrears off the home turn, she regained second with 300 metres remaining and was ridden with vigour thereafter to deny Around Midnight (Fr) (Almanzor {Fr}) by a short head in the dying strides.

Fancy Me is the third foal and scorer out of stakes-winning G2 Prix de Sandringham runner-up Besotted (Ire) (Dutch Art {GB}), herself a half-sister to G1 Poule d'Essai des Pouliches heroine Tie Black (Ire) (Machiavellian). The February-foaled chestnut is kin to a yearling filly by Siyouni (Fr) and a weanling filly by Kodiac (GB). Their second dam Tender Is Thenight (Ire) (Barathea {Ire}) is a half-sister to seven black-type performers including MG1SW sire Last Tycoon (Ire) (Try My Best), MGSW sire Astronef (Ire) (Be My Guest) and stakes-winning G3 Prix Fille de l'Air runner-up Side Of Paradise (Ire) (Sadler's Wells). The latter produced G1 Coronation S. and G1 Prix Jacques Le Marois victrix Immortal Verse (Ire) (Pivotal {GB}), herself the dam of last term's G1 Cheveley Park S. and this year's G1 Prix Jean Prat winner Tenebrism (Caravaggio) and G2 Airlie Stud S. victrix Statuette (Justify). Tender Is Thenight is also a half-sister to Zelda (Ire) (Caerleon), whose descendants include G1 1000 Guineas and G1 Irish 1000 Guineas heroine Hermosa (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}), G1 British Champions Fillies & Mares S. and G1 Matron S. victrix Hydrangea (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) and G1 Ranvet S. winner The United States (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}).

Life in Motion Set For Reservoirs Test

It has been just 11 days since Godolphin's 2-year-old filly Life In Motion (Ire) (Sea the Stars {Ire}) announced her arrival in style, earning 'TDN Rising Star' status with a mightily impressive five-length debut triumph over seven furlongs at Saint-Cloud. She is set to encounter a half-dozen opponents in Tuesday's G3 Prix des Reservoirs at Deauville, a contest won last year by this month's G1 Prix de l'Opera heroine Rougir (Fr) (Territories {Ire})). Her trainer Andre Fabre, whose latest win was registered in 2014 with Godolphin's subsequent MG1SP G1 Poule d'Essai des Pouliches third Tasaday (Nayef), will attempt to match Francois Boutin's record haul of five in the one-mile juvenile fillies' test.

Jean-Claude Rouget has yet to feature on the honour roll and is represented by Shadwell's Ataared (Ire) (Muhaarar {GB}), who secured a stakes breakthrough with a narrow success over an extended mile in last month's Listed Criterium de l'Ouest at Craon. Woodpark Bloodstock's Fabrice Chappet trainee Roccia Nera (Fr) (Dream Ahead) is the only other contender with black-type experience and returns to action coming back off a third going one mile in last month's Listed Criterium de Lyon at Lyon-Parilly. Ecurie Didier Tabary and Meridian International's twice-raced Batz (GB) (Bated Breath {GB}) is one of just two unbeaten fillies in the line-up. The Christophe Ferland incumbent will head postward coming back off victories at Bordeaux's La Teste de Buch and Le Bouscat venues in August and September.

Team Valor International acquired a majority stake in Nadette (Fr) (Outstrip {GB}) after the Romain Le Dren Doleuze-trained filly ran second to subsequent G3 Preis der Winterkonigin fourth Lacuna (GB) (Shalaa {Ire}) in her debut over seven furlongs here in August. She yielded an immediate return on investment when breaking through upped to one mile at Fontainebleau at the end of last month. Carlos and Yann Lerner trainee Queen Trezy (Fr) (Almanzor {Fr}), a three-length maiden winner at Lyon-Parilly, and Haras de la Perelle's homebred dual scorer Rosacea (Ire) (Soldier Hollow {GB}), add weight to a competitive affair.

Deauville's undercard is headed by another juvenile black-type affair with the Listed Prix Zeddaan set to feature just one colt, the once-raced maiden winner Feel Your Power (Fr) (Captain Marvelous {Ire}), taking on eight fillies in the €60,000 six-furlong dash. Nick Bradley's syndicates have enjoyed a banner season and the operation's predominantly white silks will be on show aboard the Karl Burke-trained G3 Sirenia S. fourth Honey Sweet (Ire) (Adaay {Ire}) and George Boughey trainee Hellomydarlin (Ire) (Galileo Gold {GB}), who ran second to subsequent G1 Cheveley Park S. runner-up Flotus (Ire) (Starspangledbanner {Aus}) when contesting Ripon's Listed Champion Two-Years-Old Trophy in her penultimate outing. The home defence also includes the lightly raced duo Copie (GB) (Iffraaj {GB}) and Yellow Curry (Fr) (Al Wukair {Ire}). Both graduated in their second start with Copie accounting for subsequent Listed Prix Saraca runner-up Chili Flag (Fr) (Cityscape {GB}) at Toulouse last month and Yellow Curry coming back off a two-length score over six furlongs at Chantilly a fortnight ago.
