1.- NOT JUST SWING (J.Victoire)
2.- INCANTO DREAM (Y.Lerner)
3.- NOBLE PRINCE (S.Pasquier)


Strategy played a role in André Fabre’s second group win of the afternoon as Not Just Swing (King’s Best) raced to G.3 Prix d’Hedouville victory.

With three Fabre-runners in the field, all three went to the front, Argentinian G.2 winner Candy Gift (Candy Stripes) setting the pace followed by Not Just Swing then the fancied Noble Prince (Montjeu) accompanied by Incanto Dream (Galileo).

Coming into the stretch Yann Lerner was the first to go but Johan Victoire upped the tempo with little effort on Not Just Swing.

Stéphane Pasquier and Noble Prince made their run between this pair but stablemate Not Just Swing maintained his lead comfortably and went on to win by a length from Incanto Dream who put in a final flourish. Noble Prince was just a neck away in third.

Francois Doumen’s Distalino (Poliglote) finished fourth with German raider Dwilano (Silvano) fifth.
