The Group One Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe, a significant event in the European Flat season, is set to run on Sunday at 3:05pm. This year, ground conditions at Longchamp are anticipated to be good, a potential rarity for the race, as little rainfall is forecast in the days leading up to the event.
Maltese Cross is currently attracting attention in the betting, following last year's winner Daryz, and is available at 5/1. The horse previously secured a victory in the Group One Grand Prix de Paris over the same course and distance, and also won the Great Voltigeur.
Last year's winner, Daryz, is considered a class act but may be better suited to softer ground. Kalpana, a two-time Group One winner this season, also holds interest, despite a previous performance in this race last year.
