Ricci gave up the thumbs of buying the once -raced merringefeulen in the care of Yannick Fouin after a promising debut.
Manita attracted the attention of one of the most powerful double acts in racing with her second place at Manlaga in the Prix Auricula-a race of 1M7F for three-year-old mares that were not performed last March about jumps in Siteeuil.
Manita was defeated three lengths by Manlaga, who has since gone to Nicky Henderson for owner JP McManus.
Manlaga deserved praising reviews for her victory, with respected French publication Jour de Galop Waxing Lyrical about her future.
They said: “The Prix Auricula was brilliantly won by the well -bred Manlaga.
“Her last gear was the result of a good anti -foolish.
“She is one of the promising prospects of the stable.
“Satisfied in fifth place, Manlaga showed seriously jumping.
“Between the last two obstacles, she followed the favorite Donatella before she dived on the leaders just after the last obstacle.
“With 100 meters to go, only driven through hands and heels, Manlaga loosened her rivals to win with three lengths.

“A mare with a nice rear, Manlaga showed the power of the training of Marcel Rolland.”
But it is Manita who attracted the attention of Mullins.
She is from Moises, an obstacle winner of grade 1 that ended outside the top three only once in the seven races in France.
He won the £ 75,000 2m3f Prix Renaud du Vivier in November 2020 and beat James du Berlais, who moved to Mullins after that race.
Manita is from a master -craft mare, and he is a stallion that has been more than useful for Mullins.
The Irish handler had Scaramanga with the same stallion and just won £ 200,000 with him – while the brilliant Busselton, also by Master Crafttsman, has won almost £ 300,000 above jumps for Joseph O’Brien.
Mullins is rebuilding his team after winning the British and Irish jump trainer titles.
He already has bought the most exciting horse for next season. ‘
