Germans in Le Croise-Laroche

Le Croise-Laroche, Wednesday 26 October: Today`s eight-race Le Croise-Laroche event was well received from a German perspective, with the Fabian Xavier Weissmeier-trained Elizabea (Esther Ruth Weissmeier) aiming for a placing against five rivals in the introductory Prix d`Hem (1st race/11.50am/16,000 Euro/2500m). In her latest appearance in a Maiden race, she finished clear in midfield ahead of Radiant Sky (Tony Piccone), who showed an approach before that when third.

The youngest raceable yearling will contest the Prix de Deauville (3rd race/12.50/15,000 Euro/1800m/sale race), in which Andreas Suborics` Bassoon (Martin Seidl) is expected to finish up front after two unsuccessful appearances in France. The Ralf Rohne-trained Isn`t She Lovely (Augustin Madamet) remained within her possibilities in Leipzig, but is also not without a chance here. Jagda (Alison Massin) pleased in Dieppe on second place and will be interesting with weight allowance. Stellar Jay (Clement Lecoeuvre) is a two-time track winner, but is now hitting it harder.

The Prix d`Armentieres (6th race/14.42pm/12,000 Euro/1800m) will decide another sales race. The Fabian Xavier Weissmeier-trained Lex Luthor (Esther Ruth Weissmeier) won a similar match in August. It is quite possible that the five-year-old will end up in front again. Quartzdargent (Delphine Santiago) and Gaetano Donizetti (Chloe Colardo) carry low weight and are among the closest favourites.
