Latino des Isles the horse to beat

Auteuil, Saturday, 12 March: The obstacle course in Auteuil offers eight races today. Aimed at four-year-old horses, the Prix Duc d`Anjou (7th race/5.35pm/135,000 euros/3500m). The chase race gathers eight participants at the starting line.

After the impressions Latino des Isles (Pierre Dubourg) made here in the Prix Congress (Group 2) as `Weile` winner ahead of Iniesta du Gouet (Angelo Zuliani) and Iamastar (Felix de Giles), the gelding should win. The first start after the break and the fact that Tonguetted (James Reveley) performed effortlessly in Fontainebleau after nine months out of action speaks against him. Morgan Has (Gaetan Masure) left the Pau meeting unbeaten, winning easily on each of two appearances. Most recently, the four-year-old defeated Tennesee Basc (Olivier Jouin), who followed six lengths behind, at List level. Iceo Madrik (Dylan Ubeda) and Saint Paris (Florent Bayle) had everything under control in their last victories.
