Rosanara ready to rumble

Alain de Royer-Dupre is expecting big things from Rosanara in Sunday’s Total Prix Marcel Boussac at Longchamp.

Alain de Royer-Dupre is expecting big things from Rosanara in Sunday’s Total Prix Marcel Boussac at Longchamp.

The Aga Khan-owned and bred daughter of Sinndar looked a class act when she won by four lengths on her debut over course and distance just over a month ago.

She will be looking to replicate the achievement of the owner and trainer’s Zarkava, who won this race two years ago before sweeping away all-comers as a three-year-old.

“I think she is a very exciting filly – I really like her – and I think she is my best chance of a winner over the weekend,” said De Royer-Dupre.

Rosanara has 10 rivals to beat, including the Aidan O’Brien-trained Cabaret, an easy winner of a Leopardstown Group Three.

Andre Fabre has two interesting prospects in Wedding March and Baahama, while Criquette Head-Maarek fields Kilo Alpha.

Kieren Fallon partners Green Dandy for Eoghan O’Neill, who has recently relocated to France.
