LA PARISIENNE (FR) (f, 3, Zarak {Fr}–Skysweeper {Fr}, by Hurricane Run {Ire}), who plundered a Deauville debutantes’ heat by five lengths in her only prior start last December, raced a shade keenly after an alert break and found a smooth rhythm in second for most of this sophomore return.
Scrubbed along in early straight, the 23-10 second choice was ridden to challenge approaching the final furlong and quickened smartly in the latter stages to go 2 1/2 lengths clear of the pace-setting Katoucha (Fr) (Almanzor {Fr}). The fifth of six foals, she is one of four winners from as many runners out of a half-sister to dual G3 Abu Dhabi Championship winner GM Hopkins (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}) and the dual stakes-placed Zvarkhova (Fr) (Makfi {GB}). The March-foaled bay, who hails from the family of MG1SW sire Mark of Esteem (Ire) (Darshaan {GB}), is a half to
G3 Prix des Reservoirs third Scripturale (Fr) (Makfi {GB}) and the unraced 2-year-old filly Jalapao (Ire) (The Grey Gatsby {Ire}).
