Enable is at \"her absolute peak\" for Sunday's Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe, the superstar mare's trainer John Gosden said on Monday.<\/p>\n
Frankie Dettori's mount is odds-on favourite to become the first triple winner of Europe's most prestigious race.<\/p>\n
The last to attempt the feat was Treve, trained by Criquette Head-Maarek. The 2013\/2014 Arc heroine missed out on turf immortality when finishing fourth to Gosden's Golden Horn in 2015.<\/p>\n
Enable arrives in Paris in fine fettle, having extended her unbeaten run to 12 in the Yorkshire Oaks in August.<\/p>\n
Gosden told Sky Sports: \"She's got a great stride on her and a great head and a wonderful outlook. She's always got her ears pricked and she's very enthusiastic about everything.\"<\/p>\n
The Newmarket trainer suggested that as a five-year-old Enable has reached the summit of her skills.<\/p>\n
\"She's filled her frame and there's no doubt in my mind that a flat thoroughbred horse is probably at their absolute peak at five. She's fully grown now and fully developed.\"<\/p>\n
Leading the opposition to topple her are the Aidan O'Brien-trained Japan and Magical, French Derby winner Sottsass, last year's Waldgeist who finished fourth and three runners trained in Japan - Kiseki, Blast Onepiece and Fierement.<\/p>\n
\"We'll see how we go ? there's some mighty opposition coming at us, there's no doubt about that,\" said Gosden.<\/p>\n
With a prize money pot of five million euros ($5.45 million) the Arc is the second richest turf race in the world behind Australia's The Everest.<\/p>\n
