Rulec chance to open in Auteuil

Auteuil, Tuesday, 4 October: Today`s steeplechase event in Auteuil will be heralded by the Prix Guillaume de Pracomtal (1st race/13.50/95,000 Euro/3600 m). The List Handicap leads over hurdle jumps and gathers a total of 14 four-year-old horses at the start after two withdrawals. Iban Roque (Dylan Salmon) has not yet made a mistake in four appearances this year and has always been on the podium. Recently, the four-year-old was one length short of full success. Spirit of The Moon (Ludovic Philipperon) was close behind in third place, before he finished fifth in the Prix Melanos (List race) behind Zaky (Lea Suisse), who is saddled by Miroslav Rulec for German interests. In August, the Muhtathir son won his second race of the year as an outsider in Deauville. Impulse Precieuse (Alban Desvaux) and Odela (Thomas Beaurain) sold themselves dearly behind the leaders a fortnight ago, both are eligible for the front ranks. Impressive Machin (Alain de Chitray) currently finished below value, which was obviously due to the chasing track. Today`s track should suit him better. Vae Patron (Jeremy de Silva) completed the trifecta behind Zaky. Sideralis (Bertrand Lestrade) finished behind Spirit of The Moon at Group 3 level last year.
