    Sarafina

    Rosanara – didn’t win another race in 3 attempts
    Midday – price in this Arc would be?
    Behkabad & Fame and Glory (4th, 5th Arc) – 3rd to Dangerous Midge, beaten in Grp 2 & a 2.5 miler
    Planteur – subsequently beaten 28 lengths over 3 starts
    Announce – beaten twice but beat Timepiece, rated 114
    CDA – unable to win a Group 1 in 27 starts
    Won Prix Foy (narrowly) – Prix Foy winner (Sarafina): 76907800 (0-0-8)

    To carry 8lbs more weight this year
    SP in 2010 was 12/1, that of a reasonable outsider
    2 wins @ 12f, both by a neck

    Rough passage last year, still accelerated, run petered out last half furlong
    Ground, weight carried/vis a vis rivals, and potentially draw (plum, last year) different

    Neither form, trends, or the substance of last year’s defeat lend strong weight to her case this year. What is expected of her is to cruise round untroubled in midfield, or rear of midfield, creep momentarily on the steel and then unleash a devastating turn of foot. Zarkava apart, that is a highly unusual (difficult?) way to win an Arc, with a more driven/grinding/galloping style prevailing, underwritten by ‘true’ Group One class.

    Indeed she gets stronger the longer the race, but she has nothing at all to fear from Seville who’s a hound, while she can outstay Sea Moon..but she herself will need softer ground..
