Having earned
"TDN Rising Star" status with a five-length debut success over 11 furlongs at Longchamp May 13, Ridasiyna scored by the same margin over a furlong shorter in Maisons-Laffitte's Listed Prix Melisande last time June 8. Settled in third early off the strong pace carved out by her stable companion Parisham (Fr) (Cadeaux Genereux {GB}) and Regatta (Fr) (Layman), the homebred inhaled the latter passing the furlong pole and was beyond recall as Romantica emerged for a promising second. "She confirmed what she showed last time and she really has some talent," trainer Mikel Delzangles said. "Now the program gets a little bit more difficult, so we will take our time to decide, but the G1 Nassau S. [at Goodwood Aug. 4] and GI Beverly D S. [at Arlington Aug. 13] are possibilities."
