a relatively quiet Sunday in France, and the main feature is a listed race for 3yo fillies over 1400 metres at 15.45 CET at Maisons-Laffitte. No fewer than 4 German fillies are entered here, and we give Reine Heureuse (Uwe Ostmann/ Yann Lerner) the best chance. She ran really well in the German 1,000 Guineas and this distance is probably more suitable. She holds Devilish Lips (Andreas Löwe/ Davy Bonilla) on that form, but she was very unlucky at Düsseldorf and could well spring a surprise. Doulala (Peter Schiergen/ Maxime Guyon) and Indian Cat (Werner Hefter/ Johan Victoire) are probably not as strong as the two mentioned previously.
Christian von der Recke´s American Life (Christophe Soumillon) made all to win in France last time, but faces tougher opposition today at 14.35; however we can easily inagine Statini (Hans-Walter Hiller/ Rebecca Schumacher) winning the claiming race for older horses over 2400 metres at 16.45, as the opposition in this race for lady riders does not look strong.
