Two supplemented to French Oaks
Jean-Louis Bouchard's GRANDE MELODY (Grand Lodge) and Nelson Radwan's
KELADORA (Crafty Prospector) were supplemented on Thursday for Sunday's Prix de
Diane Hermes (French Oaks) (Fr-G1) at Chantilly at a cost of 48,000 each. While
the former was only third in the Prix de la Seine at Longchamp on May 14,
trainer Pascal Bary expects better things from the lightly-raced filly.
"Grande Melody made an excellent winning debut in April and then ran much too
free when third in the Prix de la Seine at Longchamp," he told the Racing Post.
"She is in good shape."
The inclusion of Keladora, who was second in the Grand Criterium de Bordeaux
in October and third in the Criterium du Languedoc at Toulouse the following
month, provides trainer Jean-Claude Rouget with a strong hand in the 1 5/16-mile
classic, for which 16 stood their ground on Thursday.
Rouget also has Radwan's Prix Saint-Alary (Fr-G1) heroine GERMANCE (Silver
Hawk) and Joseph Allen's Prix Vanteaux (Fr-G3) scorer DANZON (Royal Academy).
