France today (Saint-Cloud)

[SteveM]

A Group 2 at Saint-Cloud today, lest it should slip under the radar. Sarafina going left handed might be vulnerable (although trainer says she'll be fine with this), but I’m hoping she can make short work of them for my TTF.

Lets hope so.

I'm coming round to the thinking that the Ganay front 2 may win quite a few Group 1s between them this season.

...and the third in that nearly got to Goldilocks at Longchamp yesterday.

A better third than (drumroll) .... Premio Loco!

...who in turn was nowhere close to getting to the good horse. Read it and weep!

Roll on the 14th June. I can't wait!

I like Lily of the Valley... She got me out of trouble when I went to Longchamp last year and has a great attitude. If there are any kinks in Sarafina she will find her out..

Announce did it very well and has a very good chance today.

...me neither. I'm booked in on course. Hannon will be bringing the winner... Hope Goldikova will join us.

...a pretty impressive string of 1s I'd agree. Sarafina will be match fit though.

...It might be a decent race.

 

[Bar the Bull]

Any other horses in this 6-strong field that we fancy?

 

[sunybay]
