Saint-Cloud today stages one of the last days of flat racing of 2008 in the Paris region and once again German stables are strongly represented. There are no Germans in the listed mile race at 14.20 for 2yo´s (but a British challenger, Richard Fahey´s Goliaths Boy with Tony Hamilton), but Mario Hofer´s Mona Lisa (Andreas Suborics) challenges for the listed race fof 3yo fillies over 1400 metres half an hour later, where Michael Bell´s Just Like a Woman with Hayley Turner is the British hope. Hofer and Subi also have prospects with Malachito in the 1300 metres event at 15.50, while there are German runners in all three divisons of the mile handicap.
