German runners in France today

It is raining heavily in Cagnes today and all races will be run on the fibregrass track. Werner Baltromei, who is having a good meeting, saddles three more runners and all of them could have a chance. The consistent Tiger Village runs in the opening tiercé handicap over 2400 metres at 13.35; he seems certain to be involved, but this looks every difficult race. The same goes for Sumatra Tiger in the 1500 metres handicap at 15.40, who has gone up in the weights after winning here last time. Mariston, partnered like all of them by Dominique Boeuf, goes for the 1600 metres claimer at 16.40; he does not seem to be the most reliable of characters, but these opponents, although there are plenty of them, are very feeble.

Betting forecast:
1. Race: Tiger Village - Barunner - Chalsa
2. Race: Anvers - Lunacat - Printemps D`Alsace
3. Race: A Fong - Les Pourcy - Greek Partner
4. Race: So Long Malpic - Plebeyo - Nevele Pride
5. Race: Sumatra Tiger - Sonneville - Smoking Allowed
6. Race: May Line - Leewan de l`Orme - Veyron
7. Race: Cherma - Meora - Kentish Dream
8. Race: Amuse Gueule - Paris Phil - Le Pierreux
