Eight races in Longchamp

Longchamp, Thursday, June 1: An ordinary eight-race card goes over the stage today in Longchamp. Excitement will be provided by the Prix Samos (7th race/20.50pm/23,000 euros/1600m), a category `3` test with 14 competitors. Among them is Becassio (Theo Bachelot), trained by Sascha Smrczek for the Grafenberg stable. This year the Guilian son had a mediocre performance. So far, he has finished fourth in Cologne and Chantilly. In the favor of the betting public is Pascal Bary`s Tanabata (Stephane Pasquier), who ran very well in Fontainebleau as second and should leave the Maiden class soon. The Chosen One (Delphine Santiago), Raven`s Spirit (Marie Velon) and Elymas (Guillaume Guedj-Gay) are in good form and priced for a top spot. Forest Of Wisdom (Bauyrzhan Murzabayev) and Seagali (Mickael Barzalona) showed approaches. Maybe they will make it to the trifecta.
