Breeders' Cup heroine Audarya (Fr) (Wootton Bassett {GB}) will line up in Sunday's G1 Prix Jean Romanet according to trainer James Fanshawe. The bay claimed last year's edition by a neck, before a third-place run in the G1 Prix de l'Opera at ParisLongchamp in October. Back on top in Keeneland's GI Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Turf in November, Audarya ran second after a stirring stretch battle to Love (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) in the G1 Prince Of Wales's S. at Royal Ascot in June. She most recently ran below par with a fifth in the G1 Qatar Nassau S. at Goodwood on July 29.
“She's well, she'll be going to the Prix Jean Romanet at Deauville at the weekend,” said Fanshawe. “She seems to have come out of Goodwood in good form and the plan is go for the race on Sunday now.”
“She's won on soft ground so I don't think we can say it's that,” added the trainer. “She was well afterwards and nothing came to light.
“It's just something we will draw a line under hopefully, she seems very well and in great form, we're really looking forward to running on Sunday.”
