Five in the Derby du Languedoc

Toulouse, Tuesday 27 June: at the Hippodrome La Cepiere in Toulouse, the Derby du Languedoc (3rd race/13.00/55,000 euros/2400m/listed race) takes centre stage today. A small, five-strong field goes on the trip and the winner could end up being the Francis-Henri Graffard-trained Gallerist (Mickael Barzalona).



Three wins in four starts is the track record of the Zoffany son, who has always been confidently ahead in his victories. He has to be especially careful of Perama (Valentin Seguy), who finished third on the list here in April and followed this up with a victory over Tolganai (Cristian Demuro) and Yes Zara (Enzo Corallo) in La Teste-de-Buch. Mononof (Pierre Bazire) closes the circle of horses with good chances. After two sobering performances in Saint-Cloud and Longchamp at list and group 3 level respectively, he recently achieved the expected second lifetime success against higher rated horses in Lyon.
