Karl Burke is confident by defending her crown in the Kingdom of Bahrain Sun Chariot Stakes at Newmarket Laurens will bow out.
The four-year-old is place to create the appearance of a glittering career which has yielded six Group One victories on Saturday on the Rowley Mile — .
She expanded her top-level tally during the summer at the Prix Rothschild at Deauville, since when she has been beaten in the Town of York Stakes.
Burke is hopeful his star can get back on the winning course on Saturday.
Laurens is in excellent form. I couldnt be happier with her moving into the race along with my daughter Lucy, who knows the filly interior outside, is delighted with her, stated that the Spigot Lodge-based handler.
John (Dance, proprietor ) was fairly keen to run her back over seven furlongs in the Prix de la Foret (in ParisLongchamp on Sunday), but I feel a mile is the very best trip. John disagrees with me, but hes let me have my own way, so that I hope she proves me directly.
We know she enjoys the track — that the only time shes been defeated on the Rowley Mile was once she finished second in the 1000 Guineas.
Were entering the race with plenty of confidence
A visit to California for the Breeders Cup was mooted as a possible goal for Laurens but Burke expects her to be retired following this weekend.
He added:As far as I am aware, this is her last run. I dont believe the Breeders Cup is based about the schedule.
I did say to John the other day that maybe he needs to keep her in practice a year ago so he could prove us wrong about the trip!
Shes been a chance to train — weve been very, very lucky to own her. I really dont think I will really love what shes done for us for a short time.
Laurens will renew rivalry with the second and first at Aidan OBriens double 1000 Guineas heroine Hermosa and Joseph OBriens Iridessa.
OBrien older, who has also announced Matron fifth I Can Fly, said of Hermosa:She is good form and she wont mind the ease in the ground.
She has never done a bad lot since Leopardstown, but what is shes done weve been pleased with.
It was her very first run back in some time last time. We gave a rest to her after she ran back at Goodwood.
Were really happy with the run in Leopardstown and were pleased with her because.
Lavenders Blue is an interesting contender after an Group Three victory on her look from the Atalanta Stakes at Sandown in August, for Amanda Perrett.
She is in good form and her prep for the race has gone quite well, said the Pulborough-based trainer.
She is a course-and-distance winner, albeit at maiden level, but hopefully thatll stand her in good stead.
She deserves to be there and were looking ahead
After Alex Pantall supplemented Madeleine Should join stablemate Crown Walk there are two challengers from France.
He explained:Crown Walk was a small difficulty at the start of the year, but she is better now and should improve a great deal for her conduct at the Prix Quincey, that was only a recovery race.
It was just a Listed race which she (Madeleine Must) won last time, but that was a much better effort, an extremely pleasant triumph, and the filly she conquer into third place, Imperial Charm, has lots of Group One kind.
The Sir Michael Stoute-trained Veracious calls later breaking her duck about the July Course at the highest level from the Falmouth Stakes almost three weeks ago.
The field is completed with Richard Hannons 1000 Guineas heroine of previous season — Billesdon Brook.
