After an impressive maiden score at Bordeaux-le-Bouscat Apr. 5, Wekeela finished runner-up to the subsequent G2 Prix de Sandringham winner Impassable (Ire) (Invincible Spirit {Ire}) in a mile conditions event here May 2 before being brushed aside by the high-class Queen's Jewel (GB) (Pivotal {GB}) when in the same spot in the G1 Prix Saint-Alary over 10 furlongs at Longchamp May 24. Entitled to win this on that form, the bay duly ultimately delivered with a degree of comfort after giving favorite-backers a temporary scare. Settled despite having no cover out wide in fifth early, she was being asked a question by Jean-Bernard Eyquem approaching the quarter pole and needed a couple of reminders to pick up. Responding by unleashing a surge to gain the lead passing the furlong marker, she asserted to score with authority in the end as her stamina kicked in.
