Race Preview

R15 – PRIX DE LA MAGNOLIERE – 2400m (a1 1/2m) – TURF – Condition Race – Class 2 – Flat – EUR € 22.000

1. INTERSTELLA – She started the year with four straight victories. Disappointing last two runs in
handicaps but is not out of it
2. SRIFANELOGREEN – A runner-up in four of last five starts so clearly is overdue another win.
Distance suited and has a big chance
3. FRESH KISS – She probably did not take to the PSF in penultimate start. Good fourth last time
out and can fight out the finish
4. FLANQUEUR DE BRENU – Not disgraced when fourth last time out. More needed to win but
could play a minor role at best
5. SALOCIN – Unbeaten in his last four starts. Fit and has every chance of making it five in a row.
Consider
6. D’ALLURE – He has yet to win a race but has shown improved form this year and could finish in
the money once again
7. ALLIGATE – Scandinavian import who has won his only start in France. Has been supplemented
for this race
8. FROZEN – Needed her comeback run when well beaten and was also well beaten in both starts
of 2022. Others are preferred

Summary : SRIFANELOGREEN (2) was runner-up at Saint Cloud last time out and another three
times recently so is overdue for another win. FRESH KISS (3) indicated she could be returning to
her best form with an improved run last time out and has a winning chance. ALLIGATE (7) won his
only French start and this Scandinavian import has been supplemented for this race. SALOCIN (5)
keeps winning and deserves respect again.

SELECTIONS
SRIFANELOGREEN (2) – FRESH KISS (3) – ALLIGATE (7) – SALOCIN (5)

R16 – PRIX DE LA CHEZINE – PRIX ALEXANDRE LEMERCIER – 2400m (a1 1/2m) – TURF – Handicap – Class 4 – Flat – EUR € 14.000

1. ALERIC – He has been a much-improved sort since put on the turf this year. Tries a handicap
again. Respect
2. DREAM DE LABLAIRIE – Seventh in his comeback run but has only been moderate so far. First
time in a handicap and is probably best watched for now
3. GOT FLIGHT – She has been unreliable but did win on the PSF in March. Won a couple of times
on the turf in 2022 and can upset
4. MARGUIT – She has been in good form this year and is capable of winning off this handicap
mark. Place chance
5. MILORD DE BAREL – In good form of late and was runner-up over this track and trip last time
out. Likes this course and should be right there at the finish
6. LE GARDOLOT – He did win earlier this year on the PSF but he has only been moderate in his
last two turf starts and others are preferred
7. GUAPA HUNTER – Disappointing last two runs on the PSF. Probably better on the turf but is
best watched for now
8. OK BOOMER – She is on a very long losing streak and she needs to more to win but could play
a minor role
9. ALIANTFEN – He has been unreliable again this year. May need to do more to win this particular
race but could pop up in a place
10. SUCCESS STORY – She has been a disappointment this year but some of those runs were on
the PSF and she could be ready to improve. Place chance
11. CUBA LIBRE – In good form of late and a recent course and distance winner. Carries 2kg
penalty for that win but has a winning chance
12. PREFERENCIA – In good form and was runner-up off this mark over this distance last time out.
Has a winning chance
13. BELLA FLORIDA – She has clearly lost her way in the last three starts but she is capable of
winning off this mark and could be the surprise package
14. GLORY LIGHT – She has yet to win a race after 26 attempts and her recent runs have been
moderate. Others are preferred

Summary : CUBA LIBRE (11) won well over this track and trip last time out and can overcome a
2kg penalty. MILORD DE BAREL (5) likes this course and was runner-up over this course and
distance last time out so should contest the finish. ALERIC (1) tries a handicap but has been doing
well all year and is not out of it. PREFERENCIA (12) showed she could be ready for a return to the
winner’s enclosure as well.

SELECTIONS
CUBA LIBRE (11) – MILORD DE BAREL (5) – ALERIC (1) – PREFERENCIA (12)

R17 – PRIX DES HAUTES FALAISES – 1800m (a1 1/8m) – TURF – Handicap – Flat – EUR € 25.000

1. MY EMOTION – Won for the first time in a 1600m handicap last time and could improve to win
again despite the 4kg penalty. One to beat
2. OMICRONE – Has run her best races on the PSF but is open to improvement in a handicap for
the first time. Keep safe
3. SINDERELLA – Dropped 1kg after 2 comeback runs and is back up in trip to the distance of her
only win. Could surprise
4. VEDAMIYA – Was a well-beaten 7th on her reappearance behind the selection at Fontainebleau
but remains capable of better, so ought to get closer
5. IKIRU – Consistent for the most part in claiming races and is not without a chance on handicap
debut. Dark horse
6. SPELLBINDER – Has looked rather ordinary in each of 3 starts, so her chances are limited on
handicap debut
7. LA CERDAGNE – Has looked rather ordinary in each of 3 starts, so is hard to make a case for
on handicap debut
8. LA TERREUR – Nothing noteworthy to her name in 4 starts on both the turf and the PSF, so can
be ruled out
9. DANSEUSE CELEBRE – Showed signs of improvement, albeit in a lesser race, last time and
could get a look in here with further progress

Summary : MY EMOTION (1) opened her account when winning a similar contest at Fontainebleau
last month and is taken to follow up here despite a 4kg penalty. VEDAMIYA (4) finished a wellbeaten 7th that day on her reappearance but is capable of better and ought to get closer with
improved fitness n her side. OMICRONE (2) was unconvincing in her first start on the turf last time
but could have more to offer on her handicap debut. Bottom-weight DANCER CELEBRE (9)
appeals most of the remainder.

SELECTIONS
MY EMOTION (1) – VEDAMIYA (4) – OMICRONE (2) – DANSEUSE CELEBRE (9)

R18 – PRIX CAMILLE SAINT-SAENS – 1800m (a1 1/8m) – TURF – Condition Race – Maiden – Flat – EUR € 27.000

1. DEL CIELO – Finished an encouraging 4th on debut on the PSF and should have more to offer.
One to include
2. DSCHINGIS STAR – Finished 2nd on debut behind a highly regarded stablemate. Could improve
to go one better
3. KETAMINE BAILLY – Has proven to be rather on the fibresand and could have more to give on
the turf. Must keep safe
4. SIGRUNE – Well-beaten 7th of 9 on debut so hard to make a case for here. Best watched for
now
5. MADALIE – Unplaced in both starts and will need to improve a great deal to get involved. Watch
for now
6. ISLA DEL SOL – Modest 9th on debut but ought to have improved with the benefit of that
experience. Dark horse
7. CHILD OF THE MOON – Hinted at ability in 2 starts last year and is open to improvement on her
reappearance. Not to be taken lightly
8. SHAMYA – Well beaten on debut but likely to improve with the benefit of that experience. Could
have a role to play
9. INCLINATION – Disappointing 9th last time after a pleasing debut 5th. Has scope to improve
and could do better
10. LARISSA’S WORLD – Runner-up on debut and not disgraced when 5th last time out. Has
shown enough ability to be competitive here
11. INKIOSTRO – Showed early promise and has both the form and experience to get into the
picture. Warrants respect
12. FIRST SNOW MOON – Made a pleasing comeback at ParisLongchamp and ought to have
tightened up since. The one to beat
13. CALL ME VALENTINE – Finished a well-beaten 13th of 14 on debut at ParisLongchamp and
will need to improve a great deal to get involved. Watch for now
14. HAZELLE – Modest 9th on debut but ought to have improved with the benefit of that experience.
Dark horse
15. NATHIM – Anne-Sophie Crombez-trained Nathaniel debutante to be ridden by Thomas Trullier.
One to note
16. MARELIE – Newcomer by De Treville trained by Georgios Alimpinisis and to be ridden by
Benjamin Marie

Summary : Stéphane Wattel holds a strong hand in this fillies’ maiden with FIRST SNOW MOON
(12), entrusted to Maxime Guyon, preferred ahead of stablemate LARISSA’S WORLD (10) who
has shown promise in both starts. DSCHINGIS STAR (2) could split the two, though, after an
encouraging debut 2nd at Angers. DEL CIELO (1) ought to improve on the promise of her debut
4th, so could get involved too. build on the pleasing 4th on debut KETAMINE BAILLY (3) completes
the shortlist.

SELECTIONS
FIRST SNOW MOON (12) – DSCHINGIS STAR (2) – LARISSA’S WORLD (10) – DEL CIELO
