Hard to beat Emeraude de Bais

Cagnes-sur-Mer, Monday 31 July: Seven races will be held on the Riviera tonight. The Prix Alexandre Roucayrol (2nd race/6.53 p.m./69,000 euros/2925 m), which belongs to group 3, appeals to a better class.

Emeraude de Bais (Franck Nivard) won an almost identical game here three weeks ago. The clear favorite was nine-year-old Ecureuil Jenilou (Gwenn Junod), Eden Basque (Nicolas Ensch) and El Greco Bello (Jean-Charles Féron). Eberton (Junior Guelpa) and Fifty Five Bond (Christophe Martens) had nothing to do with the closer decision, but in contrast to the faulty fighter Smart (Jean-Christophe Sorel), they were still in contact with the peloton.

Emeraude de Bais, the only mare in the field of ten, shouldn`t let the game go. Honky Tonk Blues (Guillaume Lemoine), who came in second here two weeks ago, shouldn`t be a threat either. Gimy du Pommereux (David Cinier) makes his comeback after a very successful winter meeting, he will probably need this start again.
