Reservoirs Offers Classic Clues

Freddy Head | Scoop Dyga

The current European flat season is coming to a close, but a final flourish of important juvenile staging posts are still to come and Wednesday sees Deauville host the G3 Prix des Reservoirs for fillies over a mile. Freddy Head, who saddled last year's winner With You (GB) (Dansili {GB}), puts forward James Wigan's Off The Coast (Ire) (New Approach {Ire}), who scored on debut over 7 1/2 furlongs at Maisons-Laffitte Oct. 2. Jean-Claude Rouget saddles an intriguing runner in Gerard Augustin-Normand's Montviette (Fr) (Le Havre {Ire}), who comes here off wins at this track Aug. 7 and at Lyon-Parilly Sept. 6, while Antoine de Watrigant saddles Pierre-Jean Albigot's impressive Sept. 25 Bordeaux le Bouscat debut winner Aimara (Ire) (Makfi {GB}). They all have to contend with Khalid Abdullah's visiting Sand Share (GB) (Oasis Dream {GB}), whose third placing in Doncaster's G2 May Hill S. Sept. 13 sets a smart standard. On the same card, the Listed Prix Isonomy which once launched Montjeu (Ire) and more recently played host to La Cressonniere (Fr) (Le Havre {Ire}) and Al Wukair (Ire) (Dream Ahead) sees a pair of Godolphin debut scorers in Art Du Val (GB) (No Nay Never) and Ahesta Bero (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}) from the Charlie Appleby and Andre Fabre stables respectively go head to head.
