Strong mares in the Prix de Thiberville

Longchamp, Thursday, 15 June: Eight races are on the programme in Longchamp this early evening. The Prix de Thiberville (6th race/20.05 h/55.000 Euro/2400 m), which belongs to the list class, is aimed at three-year-old fillies.

Amboise (Bauyrzhan Murzabayev) switched to the grass track after two winless attempts and promptly won both here and in Saint-Cloud, both in today`s hands. The mare, who runs for Juddmonte, will be up against Yorokobi (Aurelien Lemaitre), who has been narrowly beaten on each of her two appearances and should soon score her first. Iznik (Maxime Guyon) collected place money in the Group 3 Prix Penelope and the Prix de la Seine (Listed race). The Rouget mare is expected to win as well as Crack Of Light (Mickael Barzalona), who is sent from England by William Haggas and has interesting forms. Valcava (Sibylle Vogt) is running for Swiss interests. She won last time in Nancy in a highly superior manner by ten lengths. Shmi (Christophe Soumillon) and There`s The Door (Tony Piccone) are other in-form contenders. Litfoff (Kieran Shoemark) makes her seasonal debut. John and Thady Gosden are her trainers, who certainly don`t arrive without hopes.
