Camillo Seeks Classic Compensation

Sander Camillo bids to make amends for missing last week´s 1000 Guineas at Newmarket in tomorrow´s French equivalent at Longchamp.

The Jeremy Noseda-trained filly had been one of the leading fancies for last Sunday´s Classic but was withdrawn on the morning of the race as she was in season.

Connections report her ready to roll again now but are expecting a tough task in the mile race ? also known as the Poule d´Essai des Pouliches.

Impressive Newmarket victor Finsceal Beo bids for a quick Classic double and Barry Simpson, racing manager to Sander Camillo´s owner Sir Robert Ogden, knows Jim Bolger´s star is the one they all have to beat.

He said: 'It´s a very hot-looking race with the Irish filly running as well.

'I thought Finsceal Beo put up an outstanding performance last week and I think she won with a reasonable amount in hand.

'We don´t have a particularly good draw (in stall 12) but nevertheless, we feel that she´s getting back to her best. Therefore, we are taking this opportunity to find out a bit more about her.

'It goes without saying that we wouldn´t be running her if she wasn´t over her problem of last week.

'We left it late last time to give her every chance of coming right on the day but she was still in season.

'It wasn´t something we experienced with her as a two-year-old but it seems to be worse at three but there´s nothing you can do ? nature has to take it´s course.'
