German runners at Longchamp

Main event in France today is the Group 3 Prix du Palais Royal over 7 furlongs at 16.15 at Longchamp, where there are no fewer than 3 German runners. After his narrow Baden-Baden win, Contat (Pavel Vovcenko/ Ratislav Juracek) has the best chance and holds New Fan (Dirk Baltromei/ Thierry Thulliez) on that form. Andreas Löwe´s Ottomax (Andreas Helfenbein) also has place chances, but the likely favourite here is consistent Dunkerque(Criquette Head/ Dominique Boeuf). Boeuf also partners Werner Baltromei´s König Bernard in the tierce´ mile handicap at 14.35, while the final German runner at the meeting is Peter Remmert´s Dwilano (Norman Richter) in the 2100 metres race at 15.40; on ratings he has an obvious chance, although Baron Ullmann´s Eye of the Tiger (Andre Fabre/ Johan Victoire) will be a clear favourite.
