Prix Saint-Alary + Prix d`Ispahan in Longchamp

Longchamp, Sunday, May 29: The Longchamp track is the venue for two classic races today.

Three-year-old fillies are under order in the Prix Saint-Alary (4th race/15:45/250,000 euros/2000m). Prosperous Voyage (Frankie Dettori) finished ahead of Wild Beauty (William Buick) in both the Fillies Mile (Group 1) and the English 1000 Guineas. The mare, trained by Ralph Beckett, was now expected to win. Above The Curve (Ryan Moore) announced herself emphatically as List runner-up at Chester. She rounds out the favorites with Place du Carrousel (Mickael Barzalona), who won the Prix Cleopatre (Group 3).

In the Prix d`Ispahan (5th race/16:25/250,000 euros/1850 m) Pretty Tiger (Maxime Guyon) and Sealiway (Mickael Barzalona), who last finished next in the Prix Ganay behind the victorious State Of Rest, will meet again. The two four-year-olds should get a close look at Dreamloper (Kieran Shoemark), who showed up in the Dahlia Stakes (Group 2). Dilawar (Christophe Soumillon), runner-up in the Prix du Muguet (Group 2), and Dawn Intello (Gerald Mosse), coming off a successful Italian excursion, are also conceivable up front.
