Gold Round limbered up for a possible crack at the Vodafone Oaks at Epsom next month by taking the Group Three Prix Cleopatre in good style at Saint-Cloud today.
Third to Lady Of Chad in the Prix de la Grotte on her seasonal debut, the Criquette Head-trained filly had little difficulty improving on that form here.
Ridden by Olivier Doleuze, the daughter of Caerleon came from last to first to beat Seattle Bay by two and a half lengths.
Darakiyla was a length and a half further away in third.
William Hill cut Gold Round to 16-1 from 33-1 for the Oaks following her success.
