Prix Vermeille 2017 seems to be another sub-standard renewal of the race, and the outcome is unlikely to have much effect on the Arc market. The Gr.1 Prix Vermeille, run in Chantilly (France), open to +3Yo thoroughbred fillies and mares, this year will be preceded by the Poule d'Essai des Pouliches and the Prix de Diane, the Prix Vermeille is the final leg of France's fillies' Triple Crown.
Last year’s winner Left Hand currently heads the betting for the Prix Vermeille as defending champion. He will push hard to win again. But we also have other Dubawi sisters like Journey ridden by Dettori and Bateel ridden by Boudot.
John Gosden, who is yet to win this Group 1, is well represented with Journey and The Black Princess. Journey won the Fillies’ And Mares Stakes at Ascot by four lengths last year, and is a very smart performer on her day. But she has yet to win any this season.
A personal favourite, Bateel, owned by Al Asayl Bloodstock, has taken her form to a new level since joining Francis-Henri Graffard this year, winning her last two starts, including the Prix de Pomone at Deauville last month. Although she would have to step up her game to win here. God Given again has won all three of his last starts and could be an interesting wild card.
