Prix Messidor at Maisons Laffitte

The Group Three Prix Messidor over a mile at 15.35 at Maisons Laffitte is the main race in France today, but the field does not look very strong and the Aga Khan s Alnadana (Alain de Royer Dupre/ Christophe Soumillon), very unlucky at Epsom, looks the clear favourite. There are several German trained runners on the undercard, and Andreas Trybuhl, who has been very successful in France this week, has good chances with Grazilla (Christophe Lemaire), who has bottom weight in the tierce handicap over 2100 metres at 14.35, although these races are always tough to win. Other German runners are Non Stop (Werner Baltromei/ Dominique Boeuf) in the race for 3yo maidens over the same trip at 15.05, and in the claiming race for 3yo s at 16,35 Alietto (Mario Hofer/ Lemaire) and Boulders (Doris Smith/ Fabien Lefebvre).
