Group 3 races in Auteuil

Auteuil, Wednesday 22 June: The obstacle stronghold in Auteuil is the venue for two Group 3 races today. The four- and five-year-old fillies will contest the Prix Christian de Tredern over hurdles (2nd race/12.50/120,000 Euro/3600 m). Despite maximum weight, Roberta Has (Angelo Zuliani), who showed up at List level in Compiegne, should be the winner. Astadame (Pierre Dubourg) had secured the place of honour six lengths back. She offers herself again for a top placing, which is also true for this year`s victorious Amazing Filly (Clement Lefebvre), Hôtesse du Chênet (Ludovic Philipperon) and Royale Margaux (Kevin Nabet).

The Prix la Perichole (5th race/14.42pm/135,000 euros/4400m), reserved for four-year-olds, will be run over the hunting track. Diamond Carl (Bertrand Lestrade) won superiorly against Mister Champdoux (Angelo Zuliani) and it is hard to believe in a reversal of form. Impressive (Nathalie Desoutter), who came second in the Prix Ferdinand Dufaure (Group 1), could intervene in the new duel. Sans Bruit (Kevin Nabet), who ran strongly in the Prix Jean Stern (Group 2), and Tonguetted (Baptiste Le Clerc), who followed a little further behind, are also possible front runners.
