Summary : A good second on debut at Tarbes on April 20th, SCHALIMAR D’IBOS (1) can go one
better and win on his second racecourse appearance. NAH’ASH AL SHAHANIA (3) who makes
his debut, has a nice profile and could well follow him home. ALSHANFARA (5) is also making his
debut, from a good yard, the mount of Anthony Crastus should be watched carefully in the betting
exchanges. He might be the each-way option. AGHEIDARY (7) makes up the shortlist.

R2 – PRIX FEDORA – 1600m (a1m) – TURF – Condition Race – Flat – EUR € 18.000

1. KAVALA DE BOZOULS – Had a few of her rivals she meets again today behind when winning
at Tarbes over 1500m on April 20th. Live chance
2. KADIRA DU CROATE – A good winner over 1400m on April 2nd at Bordeaux Le Bouscat on
debut. Looks the one to beat
3. AL ATHOOP – 4th in the Tarbes race behind KAVALA DE BOZOULS (1) over the 1500m. Can
play a prominent role
4. ANASHEED – 3rd at Tarbes behind KAVALA DE BOZOULS (1) over 1500m in April. Looks the
each -way option
5. UM ALSHUPRUM – Unplaced at Tarbes over 1500m on April 20th behind KAVALA DE
BOZOULS (1). Best watched for the time being

a needed race on the first try in public

15. HABIBAH – An unraced filly by RAAZIQ, the dam never ran. From a yard not renowned for firsttime out winners. Best watched

Summary : A good winner at Bordeaux Le Bouscat on her debut KADIRA DU CROATE (2) should
be good enough to follow up and win again. KAVALA DE BOZOULS (1) is another who is trying to
remain unbeaten after success over 1500m at Tarbes on April 20th, she looks like the biggest
threat. ANASHEED (4) finished third behind KAVALA DE BOZOULS (1) at Tarbes and has a bit of
leeway to make up, but that experience could be key, and she looks the banker for a place. One
place back in fourth in that Tarbes race was AL ATHOOP (3) and she needs to be considered.

SELECTIONS
KADIRA DU CROATE (2) – KAVALA DE BOZOULS (1) – ANASHEED (4) – AL ATHOOP (3)

R3 – QATAR PRIX DE L’ELEVAGE – 2000m (a1 1/4m) – TURF – – Flat – EUR € 30.000

1. ELAF – Was a winner at La-Teste three runs back over 2000m in a strong race and has held
form since. Off since October
2. RYSK TOUT – A much better effort in 4th last time at Le Bouscat over 1600m and can get even
closer now. An outsider but could be worth including
3. MONDA – Finished 2nd most recently at this course over 2000m in strong company. Has a strong
chance
4. SULTANA – Finished 3rd in Saudi in February but has not been seen since. Expect a huge effort
and has strong claims
5. RISKA LOTOISE – Cannot be selected on current form and can be ignored for this run
6. FATEENAH – Has won her last two races impressively and can reel off the hat trick. Her overall
form is strong and is the confident first choice
7. AL DOHA – Lightly raced individual and is clearly progressive. Ran a great 2nd at Toulouse in
April and has a strong chance
8. FARIDA P – Has been racing in Belgium but returns here and can start doing a bit better. More
needed for the win

Summary : FATEENAH (6) has won her last two contests well and looks set to reel off the hat trick.
MONDA (3) has a very solid and consistent record and has been racing at this track in her last two,
where she has placed. A huge run can be expected. AL DOHA (7) has only raced three times and
is showing plenty potential. Her last start over 2000m at Toulouse was eye catching. SULTANA (4)
his one to follow back racing on French soil.

SELECTIONS
FATEENAH (6) – MONDA (3) – AL DOHA (7) – SULTANA (4)

1. RAFEEQ – Has had two runs both finishing 2nd, the latter at Dax over 2500m on May 1st. Live
player
2. MANABB – A nice run when 3rd over 1900m on April 11th. Is improving and can be in the mix
3. JULIE DE FAUST – Has had numerous runs of late and has shown very little form. Looks best
avoided
4. ASMAA – Unplaced on the last two runs, a winner before that at Dax last July over 2100m.
Needs to get back on track
5. AL HADAB – Was not far behind in third at Dax when RAFFEQ (1) was second over 2500m.
Has a bit more to win, but is not to be overlooked
6. U WISH – 2nd two runs ago at Agen last October over 2500m. Needs more to feature in a better
race
7. KAY DE GHAZAL – A fair run when 4th on the last run over 2100m at this track last October.
Should be ready for return from a break
8. JOUAD DE CARRERE – Two runs so far both out of the frame. Needs to show some sign of
ability before being considered
9. BILAL DE MONLAU – Ran a credible race when 5th on debut over 1900m in April. Will improve
for that and can play a role
10. SAAB ATHBAH – Unplaced on the last run over 1600m. A 2nd at Mons-Ghlin (Belgium) before
was a good bit better. Others rate higher
11. CHOUF THE STAR – 4th at Dax on the last run on May 1st over 2300m. Looks like an good
each-way option
12. KAYAW AL CASSAGNE – Two runs so far both unplaced, the latter over 2300m. Looks out of
his depth
13. SAKLAWI AL CHAM – Needs to improve plenty on his only run so far when 6th at Dax on
debut. Others are more persuasive
14. ANAFAH – An unraced filly by JAAFER, the dam was placed. Can run well on debut from a
good yard. Consider
15. ALMADORA – 4th on the last run over 2000m on March 25th at Mont-De-Marsan. Others make
more appeal

Summary : RAFEEQ (1) has performed well on both of his runs. He was a good second over
2500m on the latest outing and looks ready to win. MANABB (2) did well when he was a good third
over 1900m on his last run and looks like the biggest rival to the likely favourite. AL HADAB (5) was
third when RAFEEQ (1) was second when they met at Dax recently and can make his presence
felt again. BILAL DE MONLAU (9) ran with some promise on only run so far and can not be
discounted.

SELECTIONS
RAFEEQ (1) – MANABB (2) – AL HADAB (5) – BILAL DE MONLAU (9)

R5 – PRIX DE L’AEROPOSTALE – 2400m (a1 1/2m) – TURF – Divised Handicap – Class 4 – Flat – EUR € 16.000

be discounted

frame

presence felt

to be peaking at the right time. Player
7. KINGS OF LEON – Numerous unplaced runs over various trips recently. Looks out of form and
best watched

Needs more to feature
9. AMIATA – 3rd over 2350m on the most recent run at Saint-Galmier on April 21st. Others rate
higher
10. CHICATCHI – Has been running well on return to the races after missing all of 2022. A nice 3rd
on most recent start at Tarbes over 3000m on May 13th. Ought to be involved
11. ZELZA – Has shown very little form in numerous starts so far. Looks one to be avoided
12. COCOA – A good 3rd on the most recent outing over 2650m on May 14th at Carcassonne. Live
chance
13. TERRITORIO – 2nd on last run on May 14th at Carcassonne over 2650m. Needs a bit more to
get involved
14. TUNDRA – A good 2nd at Limoges over 2400m on May 7th on the last run. Can place at nice
odds

Summary : A good second on the most recent start FIAMELCA DOLOISE (6) looks the best option
in a very tricky handicap. COCOA (12) did well when finishing third at Carcassonne and looks like
the main threat to the selection. CHICATCHI (10) has been performing well since some time away
in 2022 and can be the each-way option. BAILEYS DIAMANT (4) is another that needs to be
respected in this type of race.

SELECTIONS
FIAMELCA DOLOISE (6) – COCOA (12) – CHICATCHI (10) – BAILEYS DIAMANT (4)

R6 – PRIX DE L’HOTEL LE GRAND BALCON – 2400m (a1 1/2m) – TURF – Divised Handicap – Class 3 – Flat – EUR € 20.000

Live chance
2. STELVIO – Has been unplaced on the last two runs, 2nd before that over 2800m. Others make
more appeal

overlooked
4. KINGDOM – Has been 2nd on the last two outings, the latter at Auch over 2650m on April 16th.
Ought to be on the premises

show expected

better race

be thereabouts

watched for now
12. BLACK GAIA – Has been out of form for some time and looks best watched for the time being
13. SCHWANENSEE – 2nd two runs back over 2000m on April 11th. In good form and ought to be
in the mix
14. PANDEMONIUM – A winner at Bordeaux Le Bouscat over 1900m in May. Needs more in a
better race

Summary : A good winner over 2400m on her most recent run SELLY (10) can make it two in a
row. MEXICAN DREAM (5) has been in a good frame of mind of late and can make the likely
favourite work for her win. PARABAK (1) heads the weights and should once again make his
presence felt in a very competitive race. KINGDOM (4) has been knocking at the door on the last
two runs finishing second both times and can once again get in involved.

SELECTIONS
SELLY (10) – MEXICAN DREAM (5) – PARABAK (1) – KINGDOM (4)
