St Mark’s Basilica Filly Eostre Lights Up Cagnes

[Wandering Eyes]

January's flat action at Cagnes-Sur-Mer continued apace on Tuesday, when the debutante Eostre (St Mark's Basilica) produced an eyecatching display in the mile conditions event. Always travelling easily for Antonio Orani tracking the leading trio, the 13-2 shot opened up passing the 300-metre marker to record an impressive 4 1/2-length success from the experienced Zaura (Goken).

“She is one of our fillies that we like,” trainer Jerome Reynier said. “She had been working well in the morning and confirmed it in the afternoon. This bodes well for the future, because I think she has a lot of room for improvement.”

Another taking winner at the meeting for the Reynier stable, the winner who is owned by her breeder Erika Gilliar is out of the 105,000gns Tattersalls December unraced Juddmonte cast-off Tanita (Frankel) whose family includes the luminaries Midday (Oasis Dream) and Reams Of Verse (Nureyev) and last year's G3 Prix la Rochette winner and Prix Jean-Luc Lagardere runner-up Nighttime (Wootton Bassett).
