Zarkava will face 13 other fillies as she seeks Classic success in the French 1000 Guineas at Longchamp on Sunday.
Trained by Alain de Royer-Dupre, the Zamindar filly looked very smart winning the Prix Marcel Boussac last season and reappeared with a smooth win over the reopposing Conference Call in April.
Connections have been delighted with Zarkava's preparation and are relishing the test ahead, despite a greater number of rivals electing to take her on than had been anticipated.
Georges Rimaud, racing manager to owner the Aga Khan, said: "We are looking forward to the race on Sunday and everything is fine with the filly.
"The weather looks to be nice this weekend and Zarkava did a very nice piece of work on Tuesday.
"There's a lot of horses in the race. We thought there were going to be less than 14 but it'll be interesting and we just hope she won't get into any traffic problems.
"I think there will be plenty of pace with that number of horses in the race.
"It would be quite surprising if there wasn't, so we're looking forward to it now."
Aidan O'Brien runs Halfway To Heaven and Psalm, with British interest focussing on Richard Hannon's Dream Day and the Mick Channon-trained Nijoom Dubai.
The former chased home Muthabara at Newbury, while the Jaber Abdullah-owned latter finished sixth behind Infallible in the Nell Gwyn.
Connections of Nijoom Dubai admit their charge must step up on that form to take a hand in France, but feel there is cause for optimism after Nahoodh's unlucky, but encouraging run, in the 1000 Guineas.
Bruce Raymond, racing director for Rabbah Bloodstock, said: "She has definitely improved for her run in the Nell Gwyn and her work since has been of a high standard.
"She went nicely in a piece with Nahoodh, who then ran so well in the 1000 Guineas, so we are hoping that she goes there with a chance.
"If she can recapture the form that saw her win the Albany then you'd have to think that she would be very competitive," he told www.rabbahbloodstock.com.
