Clairefontaine today

The Deauville meeting is gradually running out of steam and today´s card at Clairefontaine is very low level indeed. There are 3 German-trained runners, Tessaiga (Werner Hefter) and Zosime (Nina Bach/ Maxime Guyon) in the mil race for 3yo maidens at 15.10, and Man on Fire (Uwe Stoltefuss/ Stephane Pasquier) in the 1400 metres handicap at 16.10. The oppostion does not look strong, so that all 3 have chances of running into the money.

Betting forecast:
1. Race: J`Assume - Higher Ground - Ski Bohem
2. Race: Queen Charmer - Doun Pearl - Country Chope
3. Race: Barlovento - Allez Bailey - Anabis
4. Race: Libia - Louis`Lover - Fiona Rae
