R1 – PRIX DES PINS VERTS – 2000m (a1 1/4m) – TURF – Claiming – Class 4 – Flat – EUR € 16.000
1. GAVIAL – Fair form of late. Only win was at this course over 1400m on debut. Steps up in
distance but could be the right one.
2. TRITON – A three time winner in Spain. Has done much better there than in France but is distance
suited and could finish in the money.
3. FLY D’ASPE – Disappointing form this year but did win a handicap at Pau in December 2022
and dropped to a claimer could be the surprise package.
4. BOMHAL – A four-year-old gelding by Shamalgan out of Boreade who is making his debut. Likely
to need the experience and others are preferred.
5. EL INGRATO – Fit and usually does well in claimers but is on a long losing streak. Not one to
back for win purposes but can earn some more money.
6. BATTLE OF THE NILE – Only win so far was in the UK in 2021. Fair form in claimers but is
returning from a break so fitness needs to be taken on trust. Place chance.
7. CALLIOPE – Needed only start of the year when fifth. Likes this course and won two handicaps
in 2022 here. Should fight out the finish.
8. ALMERIAC – Best recent run was fourth in claimer at this course. On a long losing streak and
more is needed to win. Might place.
9. VITOR – He has struggled in two claimers at this course this year and needs major improvement
to win this race.
10. PASTICHOP – Disappointing last run at Toulouse. Knows how to win and did so on the PSF in
penultimate start. Unreliable but capable of earning some money.
Summary : GAVIAL (1) won here on debut and although having trouble getting another win the
step up in distance could help. CALLIOPE (7) clearly like this course and should be a lively danger.
FLY D’ASPE (3) drops to a claimer and should be considered a possible winner. TRITON (2) does
his winning in Spain but has shown enough in France to deserve some respect.

R2 – PRIX VAL D’ADOUR – WATHBA STALLIONS CUP – 2150m (a1 5/16m) – TURF – Condition Race – Flat – EUR € 16.000
1. BARIZ – He won his first two starts in Italy in 2021. Has not done as well in France and struggle
don the PSF last two starts in 2022. Place chance returning from a break.
2. SOCRATES – May have needed only start of 2023 on the PSF. Showed improvement in second
start when third in December and has a winning chance if repeating that run.
3. HASHEM – Good win in Italy in second start but was moderate on debut and moderate last time
out. Returns from a break but not out of it.
4. AINHOA PETRUCIO – Eighth in only start of 03. Unreliable in 2022 but did win penultimate start
so has to be given respect n that win.
5. TAWAKKUL – Struggled in both starts in 2022. Capable of improvement returning from a break
and has been supplemented for this race.
6. JULIE DE FAUST – Only win was in Spain in August 2022. Some fair form since then but will
need to do more to win this race but could play a minor role.
7. DHAKIR – Struggled in only run of this year. Was improving in 2022 so may have more to offer.
Could be the surprise having been supplemented for this race.
8. SHUJA – Did not show much when eleventh on debut. Capable of being smarter this time but
others are preferred.
9. RAFEEQ – A four-year-old colt by Al Mourtajez out of Nassem El Baher who is making his debut.
Could win a weak race.
10. ERA – Did not show much in her two starts of 2022. Did better when fifth at this course in only
start of this year. Tougher task here but could play a minor role.
11. CHARI DE GHAZAL – Did not show much when eighth on debut. Returns from a long break
and is likely to need this run.
12. LA MANTE – Did not show much when eleventh on debut at this track last month. Could be
smarter this time but others are preferred.
Summary : A weak race and it will not be a surprise if the newcomer RAFEEQ (9) proved good
enough on debut. HASHEM (3) returns from a break and the only win to the name was in Italy but
has a chance. BARIZ (1) also has wins in Italy and also some fair French form and is not out of it.
SOCRATES (2) is back on the grass and has a winning chance in this line-up.

R3 – PRIX DS SALON DE MONT-DE-MARSAN (PRIX DU PONT DES DEMOISELLES) – 3000m (a1 7/8m) – TURF – Handicap – Class 3 – Flat – EUR € 19.000
1. SANCHO – Remains in very good form and is already a two time winner this year including over
this distance last time out. Should make a bold bid.
2. KAURI CLIFFS – Fit and in good form this year. May be stretched by the 3000m he tries but
does have a winning chance.
3. LE TAMADA – May have been anchored by the 2.50kg penalty he received for his only win which
was over the course and distance. Fair form since and has a place chance.
4. SEVILLANA – Won twice in 2021. Only had the three starts in 2022 and failed last time out.
Returns from a break but could play a minor role.
5. JYCROIS BELLEVUE – Has yet to win a race and is coming off two poor runs this year. Step up
to 3000m may help but more is needed to win. Might place.
6. CAPARICA – Better in hurdle races but was not disgraced when fourth in a Conditions flat race
last time. Place chance back in a handicap.
7. WINMAN IN GREY – Disappointing last run. Did better over this distance in penultimate start and
has a winning chance.
8. WHITE CARD – Two modest runs in claimers this year after a long break. Fitter now and has run
well over this course and distance in the past so improvement expected- Might place.
9. CHICATCHI – Not disgraced in two starts after returning from a lengthy break. Has won over this
course and distance and is not out of it.
Summary : A competitive looking race. KAURI CLIFFS (2) is in good form but may be stretched
this longer distance. SANCHO (1) is proven over the course and distance and should be right there
at the finish once again. JYCROIS BELLEVUE (5) can improve over this longer distance and is the
joker in the pack. WINMAN IN GREY (7) is proven over this distance and is another with a winning
chance.

1. GHAZI AL ZAMAN – Fit, is distance suited and in good form so he should contest the finish yet
again. has a winning chance.
2. AL FAISAL – Runner-up in his last three starts of 2022.. Drop in distance not sure to suit but has
a chance if fit and well.
3. RISKA LOTOISE – Seventh in her comeback run. Disappointing 2022 after winning at this course
on debut. Capable of earning some money fitter this time.
4. ICHAN DE BOZOULS – Not disgraced when runner-up in a conditions race in only start of 2022.
This looks tougher but has a winning hope.
5. KAWTHAR – Eight in comeback start. Both wins so far were over 2000m so likely to find this
distance a bit sharp. Might place.
6. AL MUWAIJI – Yet to win a race after 12 attempts. Returns from a break and is likely to need
this run so others are preferred this time.
7. ELLIE DU PAON – Both wins were in 2021. Returns from a break but has shone over this course
and distance and deserves some respect.
8. MONAASIB – Nice debut win in July 2022 but has regressed since then and was well beaten in
his comeback run. Can improve but prefer others.
9. HAMZAH – Back to best when winning his only start of 2023. He looks capable of following up if
in the same mood.
10. JAMAIKA DE BOZOULS – Fair form in 2022 and did win her last start on the PSF. Returns
from a break and could have more to come. Consider.
11. SAAB ATHBAH – Runner-up on the PSF in Belgium on debut. This looks a tougher race but is
open to improvement and might place.
12. JT DE FAUST – Two fair races so far in 2022. returns from a break and may have more to offer
so consider for the places.
13. YAQOOTAH – Did not show much when sixth at this course on debut. Drop in distance can
spark improvement but is best watched for now.
14. SIRENE AL MAURY – Two moderate in effort in 2022. She is capable of improvement returning
from a break but others are preferred.
15. JELFA DE L’ARDUS – Did not show much in her two starts of 2022 and is likely to need this
run returning from a break.
Summary : HAMZAH (9) is coming off a solid win and if in the same mood can follow-up. SAAB
ATHBAH (11) was not disgraced when runner-up at Mons on debut. That was on the PSF however
and needs to confirm that on the grass. AL FAISAL (2) was in good form before a break and if fit
will also be a danger. ICHAN DE BOZOULS (4) is another returning from a break but also has a
winning hope.

1. CHAPELIER – Well tried this year but has regressed lately including when well beaten in a
claimer at this course.
2. MATWANI – A three-year-old gelding by Kendargent out of Matwan who is making his debut.
Watch the betting market.
3. SONGSTER – Fair form of late. Won on debut at this course and has been runner-up twice in
claimers so looks likely to fight out the finish.
4. MAIMOUNA – Lost her way in two starts after winning a handicap in August 2022. Returns from
a break but deserves respect.
5. ONYXKA – Won her first two starts including on debut at this course. Disappointing since but
has to be considered a possible winner dropped to a claimer.
6. ARAMITZ – Only win was a claimer in October 2022 and has been fair in two starts this year.
More needed to win but might place.
7. PORT ADRIANO – Has yet to win a race and has been well tried this year. Only fair in Claimer
efforts but could play a minor role.
8. DAWN BLUE – She has not shown much in her three starts this year including when well beaten
in a claimer last time out so others are preferred.
9. RECORD ME BELLE – May have needed her last start when sixth in a claimer.but needs to do
more to win this race. Might place.
10. SUPERIOR BEAUTY – A bit disappointing in two starts of 2023. Has done well in claimers
though and could finish in the money once again.
11. MA CHALLA – Good win at Nantes on debut. Her form has regressed since then but dropping
to a claimer should spark improvement and has a winning chance.
12. CONTRESCARPE – Well beaten on debut on the PSF last ear and was no better when thrashed
on the turf in second start earlier this year. More needed to win.
13. DABIRADJA – Fit and has been doing well in claimers. Should fight out the finish once again
and has a winning chance.
Summary : ONYXKA (5) won on debut at this course and dropped to a claimer has a winning
chance in this line-up. DABIRADJA (13) is fit and has form in claimers and is likely to be right there
at the finish. MAIMOUNA (4) returns from a break and if fit has to be respected on best form.
ARAMITZ (6) may not beat all of these rivals but can finish in the money on best form.

R6 – PRIX JEAN-PIERRE URRUTY – 1400m (a7f) – TURF – Handicap – Class 4 – Flat – EUR € 14.000
1. MYTHICAL CREATURE – Struggling of late and particularly on the turf. last two wins were on
the PSF and probably prefers that surface these days.
2. BEYOND MY DREAMS – On a long losing streak but his last two runs have been promising and
he has a winning chance in this line-up.
3. SUPER CUTE – Form has regressed since winning a handicap off a much higher mark and runs
this year have been particularly poor.
4. JUSTE BERE – Last win was a claimer in 2021 but two recent runs werefair and could play a
minor role if in the mood.
5. HONG KONG STAR – Clearly needed the run when well beaten at this course in her comeback
run. Clearly capable of a lot better and has a winning chance in this line-up.
6. THE FUNK BIBLE – Disappointing last two starts. Capable of doing better but is probably best
watched for now.
7. SHANGRI LA – On a long losing streak and has been struggling for some time now. Needs major
improvement to win this race.
8. MAMA JUANA – Yet to win a race and was only fifth in a claimer last time out. Needs to do more
to win but could play a minor role.
9. VERDINA – She has won off a much higher handicap mark in the past but has been struggling
for some time now and others are preferred.
10. FORCE CAT – Nice comeback run when runner-up in a handicap off this mark. Distance suited
and could go one better.
11. JAVEA – Disappointing three runs of this year. Capable of doing better and could play a minor
role if in the mood.
12. SALSA DOLOISE – On a long losing streak and was a disappointment last time out. May prefer
the PSF these days but is not out of it.
13. KALEOROUNA – Has struggled in her last five starts including three times this year. Needs
major improvement to win.
14. O GRE DES SAISONS – He has yet to win a race after 25 attempts. Clearly capable of doing
better but has been moderate this year and others are preferred.
15. JONH FOR ALWAYS – 53 starts without a win and has been mostly moderate again this year.
Others are much preferred.
16. GIMS – He has struggled in most of his runs since winning a hurdle race in 2021. Needs to find
a few lengths to win this race.
Summary : FORCE CAT (10) did well when runner-up in a handicap last time out and can go one
better this time. BEYOND MY DREAMS (2) is in good heart and will be a danger. The last run of
HONG KONG STAR (5) can safely be ignored and she is quite capable of winning a race like this.
MAMA JUANA (8) probably needs a weaker race than this to get her first win but could earn some
minor money.

R7 – PRIX YVES SAINT-MARTIN – 1600m (a1m) – TURF – Condition Race – Class 2 – Flat – EUR € 27.000
1. TITANIUM – Consistent and Finished a good 3rd on his reappearance and with any improvement
is likely to play a leading role again.
2. AIGLE VAILLANT – Absent since an easy win back in November but is capable of playing a role
on his return with the ground likely to suit.
3. LIKE MAGIC – Unplaced in both starts but still unexposed and open to improvement. Could
sneak into the picture.
4. ROUGEGARDE – Arrives in fit and in form after winning 3 of his last 4 starts, albeit at a lower
level. Place chance.
5. FULL PRECIEUX – Undeniably capable but has gone off the boil racing on both surfaces.Must
reaffirm.
6. AMEDRAS – Consistent for the most part and proven at this level. Warrants respect with Maxime
Guyon engaged to ride.
7. CELESTIN – Makes his comeback under very favorable weight conditions so capable of posing
a threat.
8. BLUE STARS – Won 2 of 3 starts in 2021 but failed to build on that promise during a winless
2022. Watch for now.
Summary : After a good comeback run in a quality field, TITANIUM (1) ought to build on that 3rd
place finish and return to winning ways on his track debut at Fontainebleau. However, he’ll need to
be on his A-game to thwart the likely challenge of top-rated CELESTIN (7) who is favourably on
these weight terms. AMEDRAS (6), with Maxime Guyon in the irons, and last-start winners AIGLE
VAILLANT (2) and ROUGEGARDE (4) complete the shortlist.

1. KENNY – Ended 2022 in good form and could have improved over the winter. One to watch.
2. BARTABELLO – Unreliable but quite capable of playing a minor role in a race like this on his
return.
3. VIGO – Won 4 starts back and has not been disgraced in 3 subsequent starts. Place chance.
4. CHARLIMIX – Not at his best in his last 2 starts and is drawn very wide here. Best watched for
now.
5. MONTE CINTO – Has won and finished twice in 3 starts at this track recently and should be
involved again. On the shortlist.
6. THINDY – Well-performed veteran with 15 wins to his name but is erratic and seldom runs 2
races the same. Could surprise.
7. SADARAK – Seldom finishes far off the mark and has caught the eye in recent outings. Keep
safe.
8. MAESTRO CHOP – Confirmed recent improvement with a last-start victory and run well at this
course too. Include.
9. GRAZANO – Inconsistent but is capable of getting into the picture. Hard to trust, hard to rule out.
10. TESTIPEDRO – Has been struggling for some time now and is unlikely to trouble the judge.
Needs to show more.
11. SPEEDFUL – Another who has been rather ordinary for some time, so is hard to make a case
for.
12. LA GALOPINE – Has looked distinctly ordinary for some time, so her chances are limited,
Overlook.
13. MY DARLING – Has been in good form on the turf and PSF recently but remains without a win
and is not likely to change her ways here.
14. REBEL QUEEN – Nothing noteworthy to her name for a considerable period and can be ruled
out.
15. IRISH RAMBO – Made an encouraging winning comeback at this track and could have more to
offer despite a resultant penalty. Respect.
16. FEEDESREVES – Disappointing in her last start but is better than that run suggests. Worth
another chance for an in-form stable.
17. HEAVEN’S DREAM – Has been struggling for some time now and is unlikely to trouble the
judge.
Summary : MONTE CINTO (5) lines up here after 3 excellent showings at this course and should
once again fight for victory. MAESTRO CHOP (8) is also in good form and at ease on this track so
likely to be involved in the finish. IRISH RAMBO (15) won so easily on his reappearance that a
2,5kg penalty is unlikely to prevent him from playing a leading role too. SADARAK (7) and
FEEDESREVES (16)are not discounted.
