German runners at Saint-Cloud

Flat racing returns to Paris today with a good card at Saint-Cloud. Main event is a listed race over a mile at 15.05 with 10 runners, which looks very open. The German entry Beltanus (Friedel Willenbrock/ Jerome Lermyte) has a GAG rating of 92 and is not without a chance, while it looks tough for ex-German Japan (David Smaga/ Dominique Boeuf) in this class. There is also a strong German interest in the tiercé handicap, also over a mile, at 14.35. Stall Australia has booked Olivier Peslier for the consistent Crossbill, but we do not believe that he can concede 2 kilos to Peter Schiergen´s Thalamon (Andrasch Starke), who ran well at St. Moritz and is on a handy weight here.

Betting forecast:
1. Race: Belle Epoch - Sunny Bere - Many Dreams
2. Race: Mikos - Quick Bere - Kiss Senora
3. Race: Krataios - Bon Grain - Japan
4. Race: Gaelic Silver - Massicotier - Temple Lord
5. Race: Rockawango - Amazonas - Royal Mix
6. Race: Mirleft - Valentino - Tatsuya
7. Race: Sabelotodo - Tangeante - Red Storm
8. Race: Royal Tiara - Rendelsham - Maemali
