French Oaks redemption bid on the cards for Shes Perfect

Shes Perfect is set to return to France to atone for her misfortune in the French 1000 Guineas with a likely crack at the Prix de Diane.

The Sioux Nation filly appeared to have given trainer Charlie Fellowes his first Group One success at ParisLongchamp when first past the post in the Poule d’Essai des Pouliches.

She drifted to her left across the track, however, and as the winning margin over Zarigana was only a nose, she was placed behind that rival by the stewards.

An appeal against that decision failed but Fellowes has not been deterred and feels the 10-furlong trip of the French Oaks should suit her perfectly.

“I think the plan at this stage is to go to the Prix de Diane,” said Fellowes.

“We’re keen to explore 10 furlongs with her and she got headed by (third-placed) Mandanaba in the French Guineas and then fought back and got back in front of her, so I think she will stay.

“She’s out of a Galileo mare so on pedigree she should stay and I’ve always thought on her home work she will stay, so I think we will try 10 furlongs and that is where we are leaning.”
