Verdict
LOUISA BANBOU (1) has solid claims after success in a Group 3 AQ race over the course and distance in late March when last appearing. She can be too smart for LA VIVA (11), who was second in a Group 2 AQ race behind the selection at Fontainebleau in November. MISSION SMART (4) was third behind the main selection over the track and trip in a Group 3 race in March and is hard to rule out of the frame. MISTY MORNING (2) completes the shortlist.
