German runners in France today

The Cagnes sur mer meeting continues today with several more German-trained runners. In the first race, a 1300 metres claimer for 3yo´s at 13.20, Mario Hofer´s Sturbuck (Gaetan Masure), who had no chance last week in better company, reappears at a lower level, while the German-owned Arriba Arriba (Yannick Fertillet/ Dominique Boeuf) is also expected to go well.

Boeuf also has some promising rides for Werner Baltromei - Part of Pentire in the 2000 metres claimer at 14.20, and Sumatra Tiger in the mile handicap at 16.25, both of whom have run really well here already and can be in the money again today. Best race is the conditions race for 3yo´s over 2000 metres at 14.50, which can go to the unbeaten Ucandri (Ferland/ Julien Augé). All these races are on the fibresand track, but the 2500 metres race at 13.50 is on turf. British raider Lost Soldier Three (David Nicholls/ Ioritz Mendizibal) has won his last two races here very easily, but faces much tougher opposition now. In theory he cannot finish anywhere near the Monsun mare La Boum (Robert Collet/ Thomas Huet), who has good group race form to her credit.
