Formscan - Last year's hero Kalpana bids to regain her crown after an in-and-out season. Andrew Balding's filly was turned over by Giavellotto in the September Stakes prior to finishing two places in front of Quisisana when only seventh in the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe. Estrange has only found Minnie Hauk too good in three starts this year and connections were left disappointed after she scoped dirty before a tilt at the Arc, but she possesses plenty of ability and needs to be taken seriously. However, WAARDAH beat Danielle by just under a length in the Lillie Langtry at Goodwood in August, proving there are no doubts about her stamina. Owen Burrows' filly has been brought along steadily and could have plenty more in the locker on just her sixth career appearance.
