Sahpresa declared for Saturday’s Group 1

SAHPRESA is set to defend her crown in the Kingdom of Bahrain Sun Chariot Stakes on Saturday.

Rod Collet’s five-year-old landed the mile Group 1 12 months ago and will bid to become only the second ever dual winner of the race since Free Guest (1984-5)

The daughter of Sahm has had just two runs so far this year and bounced back from a disappointing reappearance at Royal Ascot with a win in Group 3 company last time.

Collet said: “She looks very good and I am very pleased with her. She came back from Ascot with a minor infection and we gave her a good break to get over it.

“She put up a good performance on her comeback run and has pleased me since. It is a pleasure to have Christophe (Soumillon) to ride her.”
