Formscan - MATILDA (13) was a commanding six-length winner of the German 2,000 Guineas (Gr.2) at Koln, defeating colts in style. Now, with Francis-Henri Graffard, she is taken to follow up in this tougher contest. JANUARY (9) rates the main danger after a strong second in the Falmouth Stakes (Gr.1) at Newmarket on July 11th. MANDANABA (7) ran with credit when fourth in the Prix de Diane (Gr.1) in June and should appreciate the drop in trip. CRIMSON ADVOCATE (5) is another to note, with solid credentials.
