Prix Greffulhe und Prix du Muguet in Saint-Cloud

Saint-Cloud, Saturday, May 8: The first Group 2 race this afternoon at Saint Cloud is aimed at the Derby age group.

In the Prix Greffulhe (2nd race/14.33pm/130,000 euros/2100m), eyes will be primarily on the Andre Fabre-trained Agave (Olivier Peslier), unbeaten in three starts. The winner of the Prix Penelope (Group 3) will face Sir Bob Parker (Cristian Demuro) and Mirabad (Christophe Soumillon), who battled to victory in a `Classe 2` at Chantilly. Maximus (Maxime Guyon) was defeated honorably in the Prix Noailles (Group 3) and offers himself as a winner.

The older horses will compete in the Prix du Muguet (5th race/16:25/130,000 euros/1600 m). Duhail (Olivier Peslier), Pao Alto (Maxime Guyon) and Sibila Spain (Aurelien Lemaitre) knew how to please here in the Prix Edmond Blanc (Group 3) behind the winning The Revenant and are promisingly in the match. The Dilawar (Christophe Soumillon) and Mythico (Cristian Demuro), who finished in midfield in the Prix Daniel Wildenstein (Group 2), are other horses with the best chances. The strike result of Hurricane Dream (Theo Bachelot) in the Prix d`Harcourt (Group 2) comes under scrutiny.
