ZARIGANA needed the help of the stewards in the French 1000 Guineas but still leaves the impression she's capable of better and is the one to beat. Supplemented pair Kon Tiki and Falakeyah are jumping straight from listed wins to Group 1 company but look good enough to cope and can provide the chief threat ahead of Chantilly Lace, who was having only her second start when fifth in the 1000 Guineas at Newmarket.
