Wootton Bassett Filly Harissa Looks A Bright Prospect

[Wandering Eyes]

As usual, the Wertheimers have an exciting Classic crop and the newcomer Harissa (Wootton Bassett) only added fuel to the fire at Chantilly on Monday.

Lining up as the 7-5 favourite for the mile fillies' contest on the Polytrack, the Christophe Ferland-trained daughter of the G3 Prix d'Arenberg winner Kalahara (Frankel) travelled with enthusiasm in the box seat before seizing command 1 1/2 furlongs from home.

At the line, the descendant of the operation's top-class racemare and producer Occupandiste (Kaldoun) had three lengths to spare over Juddmonte's Arbus (Bated Breath), with another 3 1/2 lengths back to the Graffard eyecatcher Destivelle (Siyouni) in third.

Harissa holds entries in the Poule d'Essai des Pouliches and Prix de Diane.
