Group 3 to close in Bordeaux

Bordeaux-Le Bouscat, Tuesday 2 May: The Grand Prix Sc Immobilier Equestre (8th race/15.50/64,000 euros/2650m) will be the main event to conclude today`s eight-race event in Bordeaux. The Group 3 test appeals to older horses. Competitors winning 241,000 Euros or more have to accept an allowance.

Face Time (Matthieu Abrivard) recently underlined his good form in Vincennes as second, which he proved several times over the winter. The victory here in March also speaks in favour of the eight-year-old, whose opponents include Fakir de Mahey (Mathieu Mottier). The fourth in the final of the Grand National du Trot (Group 2) and current winner in Paris is expected in the front. Gala Tejy (Thomas Chalon), Fakir Merite (Franck Marty) and Doux Parfum (Eric Raffin) are other horses with good chances in the allowance band. The strong Falco des Rochers (Axel Lenoir) and Enivrante (Frederic Clozier) can expect a lot from the basic brand.
