Rosental hoping to bow out a Group-race winner before having Frankel foal

Toulouse, Saturday (2.50pm)
Prix Fille de l'Air (Group 3)| 3yo+ fillies and mares | 1m2½f

Rosental returns to Toulouse to attempt to put the record straight with a farewell Group race win before heading into retirement and family life in Australia.

The five-year-old Pivotal mare, who is in foal to Frankel on southern hemisphere timing, will be flying out to Australia and her owner Bruce Neill's stud farm in January.

Trainer Luca Cumani reported on Friday: "She's in very good form and hopefully can go out with another good performance after winning last time.

"She's a bit of an autumn filly and was third in this race last year."

Jamie Spencer, back from riding in the Melbourne Cup, maintains the partnership, having ridden Rosental to her latest success at Saint-Cloud at the start of last month.

That was Rosental's second Listed win for Cumani after she moved from Andre Fabre to the Newmarket trainer last year.

There is a strong field for the penultimate Group race in Europe this year - Italy's Premio Roma, which was lost to the weather last weekend, will be re-run on November 26 - headed by German challenger Son Macia, who was second to German Derby winner Windstoss in the Group 1 Preis von Europa at Cologne in September.

Son Macia was runner-up to the Sir Michael Stoute-trained Intimation in a Saint-Cloud Group 3 last time.

The three-year-old challenge is headed by Hamdan Al Maktoum's Hebah, who won a Listed race over a mile and a half at the course last month, when the reopposing Layali was back in third.
