Mare Australis like last year?

Longchamp, Sunday, May 1: With six horses is today in Longchamp the Prix Ganay (6th race/16.25 clock/300,000 euros/2100 m). The colors of the Schlenderhan stud are represented by Mare Australis (Olivier Peslier), who won the match last year. Currently rehearsing in the Prix d`Harcourt (Group 2), the stallion prepared by Andre Fabre drew off brilliantly close behind Skalleti (Maxime Guyon), who also came out on top against the German twelve months ago, and Sealiway (Mickael Barzalona). Skalleti started the season in the Exbury (Group 3) and was beaten by Pretty Tiger (Sylvain Ruis). The Brandt protégé had already won the Grand Prix de la Riviera Côte d`Azur (Listed race) in Cagnes-sur-Mer before that. The winningest competitor in the field is Joseph O`Brien`s States of Rest (Shane Crosse). With victories in the Saratoga Derby (USA) and the Cox Plate (Australia), the Starspangledbanner son stands with an account balance of around 2.4 million euros. Smile Makers (Hugo Journiac) is regarded as a reliable place money collector, but does not come beyond outsider chances in this exquisite match.
