Sassoon the tip of the day

Mannheim, Thursday, June 16: Seven races will take place today at the Waldrennbahn in Mannheim.

The `eye-catcher` of the day can be marveled at in fourth place (3.45 pm/3,000 euros/1900 m), an age-weight race for four-year-old and older horses. The talk is of Jean-Pierre Carvalhos Sassoon (Nicol Polli), who should not lose despite a long break. Derby contender and last run at Group 3 level in Baden-Baden, Soldier Hollow son has probably only one opponent to get out of the way with Kingdom Of Heaven (Amina Mathony), who has placed twice over sand this year.

Good horses are competing in the Equalizer III (5th race/16.15pm/6,000 Euros/1900m). Chipping Away (Shuichi Terachi) returned from Iffezheim with a good third place and is in line to win. Earl (Kevin Braye) won his last race on this maximum weight course. Together with Rum Tum Tugger (Anna van den Troost) and Moon Love (Nicol Polli) he is among the closest favorites.

A jackpot (2,775 euros) in the trifecta awaits in the 3rd race (3.15 pm/3,500 euros/2500 m). Golden April (Shuichi Terachi) should make it to the front despite a small form crisis. Bottleofsmoke (Claudia Fleißner) should also not be missing in any consideration, which also applies to Zambala (Anna van den Troost) and Shadow Star (Marie Gast).
