Deauville Race 4 - Prix Djebel (Group 3)
SAMANGAN (2) completed a hat-trick in delivering a 2.5L victory in the 1200m G2 Criterium de Maisons-Laffitte at Chantilly in October. Taken to resume with a win. FIREFALL (6) delivered an impressive 4.5L success racing prominently in a 1900m newcomers event at Chantilly AW in November. Rates a major threat making his first appearance on turf. CROWN RELIC (4) is unbeaten in two starts in the UK including in scoring by 6L over 1408m contesting a novice event at Wolverhampton. Shortlist. AFANDY (3) lost out by a head in placing second in the 1500m Listed Prix de La Californie at Cagnes-sur-Mer. One to note.
