Grand Prix de Vichy this evening

the highlight of the week-long Vichy July meeting is the Group Three Grand Prix de Vichy run over 2000 metres at 21.25 this evening. German hope Zaungast (Waldemar Hickst/ Andreas Suborics) is very consistent, runs here over his best trip and comes with the recommendation of having beaten Prince Flori ie the Grosser Preis von Dortmund last time out. However that means that he must give away 2 kilos all round here, which will not be easy. The local opposition looks strong, and Dominique Boeuf´s mount Full of Gold, trained by Criquette Head-Maarek for her father Alec, looks the pick.

Betting forecast:
1. Race: Theza Bere - Calina Salsa - Xaarienne
2. Race: Serasana - Happy Wedding - Driven Snow
3. Race: Charmante Grace - Minnaloushe - Comte Ryal
4. Race: Inestimable - Full Of Gold - Starlish
5. Race: Quizitca Deurie - Roxa De Faust - Rosignol Collonges
6. Race: Miss Nissac - Magic Artiste - King Lionel
7. Race: Classic Beauty - Vivalto - Asterisco
