German victory at the end?

Saint-Cloud, Tuesday, 23 May: Eight races are on the programme in Saint-Cloud today. The Prix du Haras de Jardy (8th race/18.00/53,000 Euro/2000 m) will conclude a `Classe-2` handicap with German participation.

Stefan Richter saddles Woodstone (Maxime Guyon), who was second in Fontainebleau three weeks ago, with first chances. Andreas Suborics` L`Antharis (Augustin Madamet), Hans Blume`s Wishuponastar (Clement Lecoeuvre) and Calcutta Cup (Marie Velon) from Marian-Falk Weissmeier`s quarters are further guests who have not yet made an appearance this year. Nepalais (Stephane Pasquier), who lost by a hair`s breadth to Utzel (Cristian Demuro) in a similar match recently, has to be beaten, but this time his conqueror will be much more favourable. Shamsabad (Tony Piccone) can also boast a fresh success. Shahzad (Mickael Barzalona) seems interesting due to his triumph on the sand track in Chantilly, where Recoup (Bauyrzhan Murzabayev) finished a good fifth last time. Mister X (Alexis Pouchin) and Pegasus (Leo Roussel) have good form and can be counted on to surprise.
