Manduro, the highest-rated older horse in Europe, will square off against France's leading 3-year-old, Lawman, in the Group 1, $820,000 Prix Jacques le Marois over the straight mile at Deauville on Sunday.
Trained by Andre Fabre, Manduro has done nothing wrong this season, winning the Group 3 Earl of Sefton Stakes and the Group 1 Prix d'Ispahan, both at 1 1/8 miles, before slamming subsequent Group 1 winners Dylan Thomas and Notnowcato in the 1 1/4-mile Group 1 Prince of Wales's Stakes at Royal Ascot.

Peeping Fawn made it three Group 1 victories in a row at Goodwood on Saturday as she overpowered a high-class renewal of the 1 1/4-mile $406,000 Nassau Stakes.
In defeating last year's European 3-year-old filly champion Mandesha by 1 1/2 lengths, Peeping Fawn was very likely assuming that mantle for this year's classic generation, while giving every indication that she is just as versatile as the Nassau runner-up.

The $178,000 Prix de Pomone, a Group 2 for fillies and mares going 1 9/16 miles, has drawn a closely matched field that makes it a more intriguing event than the Group 1, $342,000 Prix Maurice de Gheest on the same Deauville card Sunday.
Montare is returning to female company after three losses to males, most recently a fifth-place finish in the Ascot Gold Cup. She was second in last year's Pomone but can go one better this time with Olivier Peslier aboard.
