Shahbandar won the fifth event of the Cagnes-sur-Mer flat meeting, the first of her career. The 4-year-old male, neglected (32/1), was not expected at such a party.

Despite a good straight line, rather inside, Hoxton made a most encouraging reappearance and will be one to watch in this type of competition. Like the winner, Bluff (No. 11) was one of the most neglected competitors, which did not prevent him from obtaining fifth place.
