Prix Greffulhe at Saint-Cloud

Theyr main event in France today is the Group Two Prox Greffuhle fr 3yo´s over 10 furlongs at 15.50 CET at saint-Cloud, a major trial for the French Derby. Only five runners, but eve so an interesting heat, in whic RFreddie Head´s unbeaten Trois Rois (Davy Bonilla) is the likely favourite, but Ripple (Jean-Claude Rouget/ Christophe Soumillon), an easy winner of both his starts this season and Prospect Wells (André Fabre/ Olivier Peslier), a short head behind Ripple last time out, both look dangerous. The Fabre runner has finished runner-up on all his starts so far, but it would be no surprise to see him get his head in front today, as the stable is now in top form. There are no German runners in Saint-Cloud today, while there is also trotting from Reims.
