Tuesday's Chantilly card has a pair of pattern races, with the seven-furlong G3 Prix Miesque acting as one of the last staging posts for 2-year-old fillies with Classic aspirations. Godolphin's Fleur D'Iris (GB) (Shamardal) sets the standard, having beaten Zellie (Fr) (Wootton Bassett {GB}) in the G3 Prix d'Aumale at ParisLongchamp Sept. 9 only to finish last behind that stablemate on ground that was too testing in the Oct. 3 G1 Prix Marcel Boussac back there. “Everything went wrong for Fleur d'Iris in the Prix Marcel Boussac, when she raced too freely on the heavy ground,” Godolphin's Lisa-Jane Graffard said. “Hopefully, conditions will be more to her liking at Chantilly.”
Infinity Nine Horses and Ecurie des Monceaux's unbeaten Mangoustine (Fr) (Dark Angel {Ire}) is up in class for the Frederic Rossi stable after her latest outing in the Sept. 23 Listed Criterium de Lyon over a mile, while White Birch Farm's acquisition Gran Sabana (Ire) (Kingman {GB}) adds intrigue coming off a debut win for the Brandts also over a mile here Sept. 24.
