Hans Blume with Antomina with good chances

Chantilly, Tuesday, March 7: Eight races will be run today at the Fibersand track in Chantilly. In addition to some tests for the novice class, the focus is on the Prix Leandra (5th race/16.10 pm/23,000 euros/2100 m), which is classified as Grade `3`. Hans Blume will saddle Antomina (Ioritz Mendizabal), who finished second here in December. The four-year-old then ran in Pornichet-La Baule and, as expected, won easily against ten age-mates. This time, the mare will have to contend with Imperial Beauty (Aurelien Lemaitre) and Soho Vicky (Marie Velon), who were also victorious in their last appearances. The latter should benefit from the weight allowance, as should Need You Tonight (Perrine Cheyer) and Parure des Sables (Luca Carboni), who were in the picture behind the leaders in Lyon on January 24. Brana (Cristian Demuro) was already fighting for the win at the beginning of the year and La Javanaise (Theo Bachelot) also pleased in Deauville as a strong second.
