Looking at the racing from Deauville today. One horse that will be short odds in the betting market but looked full of promise when he was second on debut at this track last time is Dollar Index 16.13 race. He was not given a hard time and should make plenty of progress from that encouraging run.

After a good break hopefully I can start punters off with a winner today in France. Tamariske 3.35 Lyon La Soie has been racing in better races of late and should be too good for her rivals in this drop in Grade today. She has a handy weight and has cheekpieces for the first time today, Zarica looks the main rival as she is a prolific winner in claiming races and will do her best to beat the selection. The 5kg she has to concede might be a bit too much.
