By Tom Frary
Sent off the 11-10 favourite for Saturday's G2 Prix de Malleret at ParisLongchamp, Gerard Augustin-Normand's G1 Prix de Diane runner-up Survie (Ire) (Churchill {Ire}) justified that faith to record a notable black-type breakthrough win. Content to follow the pace early, the Nicolas Clement-trained homebred was asked to take control 300 metres from the finish as Candala (Fr) (Frankel {GB}) became ensnared in traffic to her right and needed no second invitation en route to a 1 1/4-length success from Mosaique (Fr) (Dubawi {Ire}). Candala, who met with abundant trouble in running, was a further 3/4 of a length away in third.
“She deserved that after her brilliant effort in the Prix de Diane,” Clement said. “It's a great job from the team and I am happy for the owner and his manager. It was a tactical race, but Stephane was in the right place and this filly knows how to quicken. She is in the Arc, she will have a break and could possibly run in the Prix Vermeille first.”
Pedigree Notes
Survie, who was also third in the G2 Prix Saint-Alary and G3 Prix Vanteaux, is out of the Listed Derby du Languedoc winner and G2 Prix de Royallieu and G3 Prix Minerve-placed Sotteville (Fr) (Le Havre {Ire}). A full-sister to the G2 Prix de la Nonette runner-up Crisolles (Fr), who is in turn the dam of the G3 Horris Hill Stakes-placed Son Of Man (Ire) (Dark Angel {Ire}), Survie hails from the family of the G1 Ranvet Stakes-winning Australian champion miler Contributor (Ire) (High Chaparral {Ire}) and last year's G1 Champion Stakes hero King Of Steel (Wootton Bassett {GB}). Her yearling filly Sainte Marthe (Fr) is by Zarak (Fr).
