SEDARY (FR) (f, 2, Style Vendome {Fr}–La Marisma {Fr}, by Sinndar {Ire}), who was an Apr. 4 debut third over this trip at Chantilly last time, raced in a prominent second after the initial strides of this return. Stoked up approaching the final furlong, the 8-5 favourite was ridden out in the closing stages to deny Teckwin (Fr) (French Fifteen {Fr}), who had finished one place ahead of her at Chantilly, by a nose on the line. The €30,000 ARAUG yearling is the first representative and winner produced by an unraced half-sister to French highweight and G1 Champion S.-winning sire Literato (Fr) (Kendor {Fr}). She is also the first scorer for G1 Poule d'Essai des Poulains hero and Haras de Bouqetot-based freshman sire Style Vendome (Fr) (Anabaa). The chestnut's granddam is G3 Prix Fille de l'Air third La Cibeles (Fr) (Cardoun {Fr}), herself a daughter of Spanish Mare of the Year Douberta (Fr) (Don Roberto). Lifetime Record: 2-1-0-1, €17,550.
