Grand Vista's June 19 debut success in a newcomers' event at Chantilly impressed to such a degree that punters hammered the selection into 3-10 at the tills for this comeback. That faith was rewarded in no uncertain terms as the Juddmonte colorbearer impressed once more to remain unbeaten. Up to lead from the get-go, the bay was untroubled throughout and coasted to the line in the closing stages to secure an easy two-length win from Balance of Nature (Storm Cat). Likely options for Grand Vista include the July 23 G2 Prix Robert Papin at Maisons-Laffitte and G3 Prix de Cabourg at Deauville July 30. Lifetime Record: 2 starts, 2 wins, Eu26,000.
