Ouija Board is indeed set to contest the Prix de l'Opera, although I imagine connections will have second thoughts if conditions become swamp-like at Longchamp, which they have a tendency to do there.

Ouija Board did run in the Arc as a 3yo prior to winning the BCFMT, but it is worth bearing in mind that she'd had just 3 outings prior to the Arc that season, whereas this time around she's had 7.

The l'Opera could be something of a classic if it features the much-anticipated clash of generations between Alexandrova and Ouija Board. It would be a thriller, the edge perhaps just going to Ouija over 10f, although I very much fancy Alexandrova in the BCFMT with the added furlong in her favour.
