Stefan Richter still eager to attack

Cagnes-sur-Mer, Monday, 27 February: Once again the pits open at the flat meeting in Cagnes-sur-Mer, where Stefan Richter attacks with further chances one day after Mika d`O`s success in the Grand Prix de Department 06. In the Prix du Col du Clapier (5th race/16.05 h/18.000 Euro/1600 m) the successful coach is represented three times.

Forbidden Secret (Marie Velon) knew how to convince in second place on 15 February, setting the two previous strike results right. Electroscope (Cristian Demuro) did much less with four attempts. A fifth place was the best result for the five-year-old, who finished a good third here last year. Flamingo Hollow (Alexis Pouchin) collected three smaller placings. In the Prix de la Napoule (Classe 3), the gelding was close to the second placed Itman (Fabrice Veron). Indyco (Maxime Guyon) celebrated two wins in the current meeting, but did not finish beyond the midfield after a third place in the Prix Saonois (Listed race). Despite his maximum weight, he is just as much a favourite as Sluzewiec (Coralie Pacaut), who probably still felt the break a fortnight ago when he finished sixth behind Indyco.
