Switching after G3 success at Saint-Cloud

Three-year-old filly Switching goes for a first G3 success in the Prix de Flore (15.45hrs local time) over an extended 10 furlongs at Saint-Cloud, France, on Sunday, October 23.

The daughter of Street Cry, from Andre Fabre’s stable, has finished runner-up over the same distance at Listed level on her two most recent starts, at Maisons-Laffitte on October 3 and at Chantilly on September 1.

On her only previous appearance in G3 company, Switching stayed on to finish fifth in the mile Prix de Lieurey at Deauville in August.

Lisa-Jane Graffard of Godolphin said: "Switching has been knocking on the door in Listed races and deserves a chance at a G3 race.

"She is a very tough and consistent filly and is in good form at the moment.

"Mickael Barzalona again takes the ride on Switching, who is drawn three in a field of nine, with British challengers Furia Cruzada, Loving Things and Sharja Queen likely to provide the main opposition.
