Diane test in the Prix Cleopatre

Saint-Cloud, Friday 29 April: Looking ahead to the Prix de Diane, there is a sighting test for three-year-old fillies today at Saint-Cloud with the Prix Cleopatre (3rd race/14.50pm/80,000 Euro/2100m).

Samahram (Christophe Soumillon) was a huge hit when she won the Maiden here in March. In contrast, Qarasha (Olivier Peslier) disappointed in the midfield, but corrected the result posthaste and won easily at the same place three weeks ago. Kawida (Stephane Pasquier) already triumphed at the top level in England and should also play a leading role on his seasonal debut. Hometruths (Cristian Demuro) did nothing wrong in a `Classe 1` third on 5 April and can be there as well as this year`s victors Place du Carrousel (Mickael Barzalona) and Regalis (Gerald Mosse).
