Formscan - Last season's Group I Prix Vermeille runner-up MELO MELO (3) makes her belated reappearance after an absence of more than 7 months but is head and shoulders clear of these rivals on official ratings, so is good value to make a winning comeback in this Listed event. Both SALTWELL (2), who has already proven her efficiency/competitiveness on soft ground, and DCHINGIS STAR (1), who got the better of that rival in a Deauville meeting last year, are those most likely to pick up the pieces should the selection fluff her lines.
