German runners at Deauville

a huge card at Deauville today with 4 races in the morning and 9 in the afternoon including many German-trained runners. Main event is the listed Prix Miss Satamixa for fillies and mares over 1500 metres at 14.50, in which both Samara Valley (Peter Schiergen/ Maxime Guyon)- twice an easy winner at Dortmund - and Marny (Hans Blume/ Gaetan Masure) can be expected to run well.

The race which in our opinion is the most likely to have a German winner is the conditions race for jeunes jockeys over 1300 metres at 14.20; Fareion (Sascha Smcrzek/ Eric Wehrel) is the best horse in the field here, but will not find it easy to concede 3 kilos to Aturo (Christian Sprengel/ Delphine Santiago). There are no fewer than 6 German runners in a similar race over 1500 metres at 15.25, with the same teams represented by Lord of Esteem and El Vettorio respectiveley, although Daudet (Blume/ Romain Perruchot) also has a decent chance.

Betting forecast:
1. Race: Madonna Incognito - Magic Roundabout - Sweet Yasmina
2. Race: Seehecht - Principe Uromonte - Lined
3. Race: Fareion - Chicaya - Western Piazza
4. Race: Rockette - Zibeling - Samara Valley
5. Race: Churriana - Blow The Lot - El Vettorio
6. Race: Chelgui - Moscow Eight - Nuit De Glace
7. Race: Mister Chocolate - Lyubov - Serenitea
8. Race: Hamilton Blue - Lune Opaque - La Biriquina
