Excellent card at Longchamp

Therre is sme excellent racing at Longchamp, with 9 races, theree of them at group level. Main event is the Group One Prix Ganay over 2100 metres at 16.20 CET, in which German challenger Saddex (Peter Rau/ Thierry Thulliez) faces 6 opponents. Saddex has already proved that he is capable to making a strong show in this class and the shorter distance may be to his advantage. His main dangers are Duke of Marmalade (Aidan O´Brien/ Johnny Murtagh), Zambezi Sun (Dascal Bary/ Stephane Pasquier) and the filly Mrs. Lindsay (Francois Rohaut/ Christophe Lemaire). Despite the good weather, the going will still be soft , which will not suit Germany´s t and top stayer Le Miracle (Werner Baltromei/ Dominique Boeuf) in the Group Three Prix de Barbeville over 3100 metres at 15.15. In addition he has a Group One penalty and the task of giving 4 kilos to the smart unbeaten Coastal Path (Andre Fabre/ Stephane Pasquier) looks almost impossible. Fabre and Pasquier can also team up towin the Prix Vanteaux for 3yo filles at 15.45 with Proviso. Other German runners on the card are Sascha Smcrzek´s Fareion (Dominique Boeuf) and Südsturm (Delphine Santiago), who run in two divisions of the 1400 metres handicap at 14.45 and 18.20, and Baltromei´s pair Austrian (Boeuf) and Naxon (Johan Victoire) in a similar race at 17.50.
