ROYER-DUPRE SWEET ON GIO

Quote:
Trainer Alain de Royer-Dupre has warned punters not to discount his Falmouth Stakes winner Giofra in Sunday's Longines Hong Kong Cup.
Well beaten by her compatriot and weekend opponent Cirrus Des Aigles in the Prix Ganay at the start of the season, the four-year-old went on to run in the Prix Jean Romanet after her Newmarket Group One success before rounding off the European season in the Prix de l'Opera.
Royer-Dupre believes those last two efforts can be ignored and said: "She might be slightly underrated in the Cup but I warn you, she is an exceptional filly."
