German runners at Compiegne

There are German-trained runners in 6 of the 8 races this afternoon at Compiegne, with Werner Baltromei in particular strongly represented. He saddles his first 2yo runners of the year in the filly So oder So (Dominique Boeuf) over 1400 metres at 13.50 and Sommertraum (William Mongil) in the colts´ equivalent at 15.25. He also runs the 3yo debutant Ameratasu (Boeuf) over 1800 metres at 16.25 and has two runners in the conditions race over 2400 metres for 4yo´s at 16.55: Manaba (Boeuf) and Khadar (Gaetan Masure). Uwe Stoltefuss is likewise double-handed in the concluding claiming race over 2400metres at 17.30 with Sworn Tigress (Christophe Soumillon) and No Mum (Johan Victoire). There are 18 runners here, but still all these German runners could have chances. However the best German hope today is undoubtedly Gyrona in the amateur riders handicap over 2800 metres at 14.55.
