German runners at Longchamp

Main feature at Longchamp today is the listed Criterium de Vitesse for 2yo´s over the straight 1000 metres at 14.35. Only 6 line up here, with Mario Hofer´s Silver Market (Maxim Guyon) the only foreign runner. The German runner in the following race, Sanji Danon (Waldemar Hickst/ Andreas Suborics) probably has better prospects.However the best hope of a German victory is the claiming race for 3yo´s over 1400 metres at 15.40, where 4 of the 20 runners are German-trained. Marangu (Hickst/ Subi) and Liandra (Hans Blume/Guyon) both won last time out in this grade in France, while Principe Uromonte (Hofer/ Dominique Boeuf) is also good enough; the fourth candidate Medusa (Andraes Trybuhl/ Gaetan Masure) looks the weakest of the quartet. Norbert Sauer runs Le Mari (Henk Grewe) in the 2yo claimer at 14.05, but this one is drawn 19 of 19, normally a huge disadvantage at this track.
