Mara Best had already won over during his first steps in Cagno on December 26 over the 2150m autostart, winning easily despite a mistake during the course. Wise from one end of the course to the other, she confirmed her potential in the Prix du Périgord by pleasantly winning the exercise of the holding. Quickly placed in the wake of the animator Mafiatime Ducampus by David Békaert, the daughter of Carat Williams follows easily in a rhythmic race (1’16”6 – 2925m) before clearly making the difference in the finish line. His driver was once again won over by the performance of the representative of Benoît Robin’s helmet: “I was a little scared at the start because she was tense during the first 700 meters, which enhanced her performance today. She then waved back and followed easily before giving a good thrust as she entered the finish line. She’s a very good filly, who does everything we ask of her and has a good mentality. She will have one more race on her program before taking part, if all goes well, in the 3-year-old Cup at the end of the meeting.” Ambitions are therefore high in those around this Mara Best who knew how to preserve his invincibility on the Riviera this Friday evening.
