Mares over hurdles on group test stand

Auteuil, Saturday, June 17: Eight steeplechase races will be decided today in Auteuil. Aimed at five-year-old fillies, the Prix Christian de Tredern (4th race/13.40pm/135,000 euros/3600m) is over hurdle jumps. The immensely consistent Indian de Gascogne (Felix de Giles) has what it takes to win the lot. She currently lost at list level to the blatantly surprising Impulse Precieuse (Alban Desvaux), but with more favorable weight she should be able to reverse her form. Flash Davier (Bertrand Lestrade) held her own against the stallions in the Prix Rose or No (List race), but ran faulty at Group 3 level last time. Edwina (Teddy Vabois) showed an approach on the flat course. Here she was a superior winner in November against, among others, Javanaise (), who had a hurdle win in March. Manurose (Nathan Howie) and Montabella (Theo Chevillard) are recommended by their fresh May successes.
