   Dalkala was two-for-two entering this Classic trial after two educational heats at Longchamp and exited with a greatly enhanced reputation and her perfect record intact. The form of her head defeat of Lady Apples (Fr) (Enrique {GB}) giving that rival four pounds in a 10-furlong conditions event last time Apr. 15 had been upheld when the runner-up was fourth in Sunday's Listed Prix de la Seine, but the betting suggested she would only play second fiddle to Waldlerche (GB) (Monsun {Ger}) here. Racing in third early several lengths off the pace set by that free-running 3-5 pick, the bay homebred swooped as that rival began to tread water with 1 1/2 furlongs remaining and was hand ridden to draw clear of the staying-on Poupee Flash. "I liked this filly before the race and now I like her even more," trainer Alain de Royer-Dupre commented. "She won very well and I think we've found our filly for the G1 Prix de Diane [at Chantilly June 17]."
