R7 – PRIX 30 ANS SITE KNORR-BREMSE LISIEUX (PRIX ARGUMENT) – 2400m (a1 1/2m) – TURF – Condition Race – Class 2 – Flat – EUR € 28.000
1. SALAHUDIN – Consistent and in good form. Finished a close-up 2nd last time and seems
capable of winning again
2. GOLIATH – Open to any amount of improvement after winning on debut over 2400m at SaintCloud. Keep safe
3. GUET APENS – Out of sorts at a higher level since resuming this year. Could do better in this
grade/company
4. ZARWARA – Warrants the utmost respect after a winning introduction over this trip at SaintCloud. Chief threat
5. DAFNE – Has improved with every outing but will need to raise her game again to have a say
here. Outsider
6. HELLES – Confirmed the improvement of her previous outing by winning last time out. Could
have a say here
7. GUETTA – Winner on debut and is likely to have gained plenty from that experience. Can get
into the picture
Summary : SALAHUDIN (1) has been in terrific form, winning once and finishing 2nd twice in three
starts this year. He was only just beaten last time but ought to recapture the winning thread here.
Francis Graffard’s runners ZARWARA (4) and GOLIATH (2) are open to improvement after winning
introductions at Saint-Cloud and are likely to pose a threat. GUET APENS (3) has the form and
experience to also make his presence felt.

R8 – PRIX UAP E-MOBILITY (PRIX PHILIPPE PAQUET) – 1600m (a1m) – TURF – Claiming Handicap – Class 4 – Flat – EUR € 16.000
1. ROMANELLO – Undeniably capable but has gone off the boil recently, so needs to reaffirm to
get into the picture
2. INATTENDU – Last-start winner proven at this level. Ought to give another competitive account
of himself here
3. SELKET – Unreliable mare but she is not incapable of staking a claim in a race of this nature.
Dark horse
4. VESINABA – Confirmed in this category and bounced back to form by finishing 3rd last time out.
Has claims here
5. ALMANARAH – Inconsistent but capable filly. Disappointing last time but has the means to play
a leading role
6. INSTANTANE – Has looked distinctly ordinary for some time now, so his chances are limited
even at this level
7. LIMONCELLA – Has improved with each start this year and returned to form when 2nd last time.
Warrants respect
8. COME SAY HI – Has struggled to regain any form or consistency for some time now, so unlikely
to trouble the judge
9. ABASTO – Has lost his way recently but is not incapable of faring better in this grade/company.
Place chance
10. STORMY AIR – Honest veteran holding form. Finished a pleasing 4th on his comeback and
may have more to offer
Summary : INATTENDU (2) won well at this level last time and is more than capable of following
up here. ALMANARAH (5) fluffed her lines recently but is better than that effort suggests and cannot
be written off just yet. LIMONCELLA (7) confirmed the improvement she has made this year by
finishing 2nd last time out and has legitimate claims too on her return to Clairefontaine. Confirmed
in claiming races, VESINABA (4) is another who could get into the picture.

1. RIDPOUR – Mikel Delzangles-trained Siyouni colt with an attractive pedigree. Sophie Chuette
2,5kg allowance is a bonus
2. AXELROD – Yann Barberot-trained Territories newcomer to be ridden by Alexis Pouchin. For
lovers of outsiders
3. MALLEOLUS – Mikel Delzangles-trained Justify newcomer who is dangerous to dismiss with
Gérald Mossé riding
4. LOUGHCREW – Andre Fabre-trained Cloth Of Stars newcomer related to black-type performers.
On the shortlist
5. LOVEATFIRSTSIGHT – Newcomer to note with Jérôme Claudic booked to ride this Kendargent
colt for trainer Romain Le Dren Doleuze
6. QUIZMASTER – Ralf Rohne-trained Almanzor colt to be ridden on debut by Corentin Bergé with
a 2,5kg allowance
7. ARABIAN DANCER – Yann Barberot-rained Sea The Moon filly who will benefit from Charlotte
Janneau’s 2,5kg allowance
8. JADE VINE – Well-bred Andre Fabre-trained Galileo debutante. One to note with Malone
Favriaux in the irons
9. PITRIZZA – Almanzor debutante out of a useful race mare. Clement Guitraud rides for trainer
Yann Barberot
10. NAIADE – Shalaa debutante to be ridden by Sébastien Maillot for the Adda and Renaut training
partnership

combination. Respect

Prod’homme

allowance will help
Summary : In this race reserved for newcomers, preference is for Andre Fabre-trained
LOUGHCREW (4), who is the half-brother to useful Océan. Well-related LOVEATFIRSTSIGHT (5)
has an attractive pedigree too, so is another high on the shortlist, as is RIDPOUR (1) given his
rider’s 2,5kg allowance. JADE VINE (8) and STORY TO TELL (11) are also dangerous to dismiss.

R10 – PRIX MICHEL RIGAL (PRIX DU CHEMIN DU MARAIS) – 1800m (a1 1/8m) – TURF – Divised Handicap – Flat – EUR € 17.000
1. GREATEL – Disappointing last time but her earlier form shows she is better than that effort
suggests. Keep safe
2. BANDASTAR – Has been struggling to regain any form or consistency for some time, so others
make more appeal
3. ONDINE – Showed signs of improvement back on the flat last time. Confirmation is required to
have a say here
4. WHATEVER IT COSTS – Showed signs of improvement last time (5th) and could have a say in
here if confirming. Has claims
5. KANELLE BERE – Versatile filly in good shape recently, on the flat and over hurdles last time.
Ought to be competitive
6. OCTOBER CHOPE – Continues to blow hot and cold but is capable of overcoming a wide draw
to have a say in the finish
7. MON SIOUX – Confirmed his recent improvement by finishing 2nd at this level last time. Looks
a likely winner
8. SPIRIT CUTTER – Unreliable filly but is quite capable of staking a claim in a race of this nature.
Dangerous to dismiss
9. CALA MOLI – Nothing noteworthy to her name for a considerable period now and can be ruled
out as a result
10. SURICATE – Was 3rd in a recent claiming race and will be competitive if confirming that form
in this handicap
11. DSCHINGIS SHAAN – Has not been beaten far in recent outings and could get into the picture
here if confirming that form
12. URAL – Not incapable of getting a look in but has been out of sorts recently, so is best watched
for now
13. GILOU DU LUOT – Has nothing noteworthy to his name to warrant consideration here and can
be ruled out. Overlook
14. PRINCE MEDIS – Has not gone unnoticed in his last two starts, finishing 5th on both occasions.
Place chance only
15. KOULIKOFF – Has looked rather ordinary for some time and his chances are limited even at
this level. Overlook
16. LA SWISS – Has been struggling to regain any form or consistency for some time, so others
make more appeal
17. DREAM CYCLE – Out of sorts and has been struggling for some time, so is not likely to trouble
the judge here
Summary : Not an easy race to assess but a chance can be taken on MON SIOUX (7) given he
offers more guarantees than most. In good shape and competitive at this value, he ought to play a
leading role. KANELLE BERE (5) is capable of posing a threat off his current mark back in a
handicap, while OCTOBER CHOPE (6) could also make her presence felt despite a wide starting
berth. SURICATE (10) and GREATEL (1) are inconsistent but have the means to have a say too.

R11 – PRIX UAP COMPRESSEURS (PRIX DU MANOIR DES GENS D’ARMES) – 2400m (a1 1/2m) – TURF – Condition Race – Maiden – Flat – EUR € 27.000
1. ZALETTO – Runner-up in a minor claiming race on debut. Should improve but this requires a
great deal more
2. SHERADANN – Pleasing 5th on debut but gave the impression he is much better than that effort
suggests. Respect
3. LE GAST – Improving and has solid form references, should open his account sooner rather than
later. Include
4. UNCATCHABLE – Was an encouraging 4th on debut and is likely to improve with the benefit of
that outing. Dark horse
5. DANSE S Y – Finished a pleasing 4th on debut and would have gained plenty from that
experience. Place chance
6. BARBATE – Consistent and boasts good form credentials, finishing nd in his last two starts. Sets
the standard
7. MORPHEWAN – Finished 5th on debut and 4th last time out. Could get into the picture with
further improvement
8. ROATAN – Did not go unnoticed when finishing 3rd on debut and should have more to offer.
Could have a say
9. EL PRO – Has not finished far off the mark recently and could improve to have a say with this
trip likely to suit
10. WIDA – Possesses both the form and experience to play a leading role here, so is high on the
shortlist
11. RUNNING THE GAME – Improved after a pleasing debut (6th) to finish 3rd last time. Will have
more to offer, so has claims
12. BLACK CORSAIR – Well beaten when finishing unplaced on debut last year. Best watched for
now on his reappearance
13. FOLKWIN – Failed to confirm the improvement of his previous outing (2nd) when only 7th last
time. Outsider
Summary : BARBATE (6) has been a model of consistency and victory here, after finishing 2nd in
recent outings, would be a just reward for his efforts. LE GAST (3) was outfought when also
finishing 2nd last time and is likely to fight out the finish again. WIDA (10) has shown promise in
his two starts and ought to improve for this step up in distance, so can stake a claim too.
SHERADANN (2) and RUNNING THE GAME (11), with improvement expected, could also get into
the picture.

the finish. Include

be competitive here

to come. Respect
4. ANAGALLIS – Finished a modest 7th on debut but would have gained plenty from that
experience. Could improve
5. JALAPAO – Has improved after a modest debut to finish 4th in consecutive outings recently.
Could get involved
6. CHAYTON GIFT – Has lost her way on the flat and over hurdles recently so can be ruled out.
Others make more appeal
7. MARELIE – Improved to finish 3rd last time after a quiet introduction and should be competitive
if confirming
8. SALTWELL – Runner-up in both outings and will be winning sooner rather than later. Can open
her account here
9. THE PLANETS – Finished a pleasing 5th on debut and an improved 4th last time. Should have
a say if making further progress
10. USNAVYGIRL – Has nothing noteworthy to her name to warrant consideration here and can
be ruled out. Overlook
11. LA BLUE QUARTZ – Improved after a modest debut to finish 2nd last time. Must confirm that
improvement to have a say
12. EAU DE COLOGNE – Must bounce back from a disappointing last start but would have a
chance here on her earlier form
13. AIRWAY – Open to improvement after finishing 8th on debut has no more than a place chance
here. Outsider
14. DESNA – Confirmed the promise of her debut 4th by finishing 2nd last time. Should have a role
to play here
15. LIBYA – Made no impression on debut and, while open to improvement, is best watched. Others
preferred
Summary : There are several promising fillies here with chances but none more so than
SALTWELL (8) who appeals most after two encouraging outings in which she has finished 2nd.
She deserves to get her head in front and is taken to get the better of improving AMNERIS (1), who
has both the form and experience to pose a threat, and ASHALYKA (2) who should have more to
offer after a pleasing debut (3rd). After showing improvement last time, DESNA (14) and THE
PLANETS (9) can get into the picture too. RODAINAH (3) completes the shortlist.

1. MR LE PHILOSOPHE – Finished 3rd in consecutive outings recently including on his handicap
debut last time. Will go close
2. WARELIA – Runner-up in consecutive outings after winning 3 starts back. Could get into the
picture once more
3. CLAIR DE LUNE – Unreliable sort but is quite capable of staking a claim in a race of this nature.
Dangerous to dismiss
4. DEAUVILLE – At the top of her game at present, finishing 2nd in both starts after winning 3 starts
back. Shortlisted

role to play again
6. GRAND KISS – Consistent performer in this class and has been in good form recently. Ought to
be competitive here

another day

ruled out. Overlook
9. GOLDYWAY DE SAON – Has shown signs of improvement recently and could get a look in here
on that form. Place chance
10. LHOMMAIZE – Showed signs of improvement two starts back but failed to confirm that last
time. Watch for now
11. GOLDEN JUANITA – Failed to confirm the improvement of her previous start when unplaced
last time. Others preferred
12. ZARQANA – Finished a reassuring 3rd last time and should be competitive here if confirming
that improvement
13. PEARL DOCTOR – Showed signs of improvement last time nut will need to confirm that here
to get a look in. Outsider
Summary : MR LE PHILOSOPHE (1) acquitted himself well in his first start at this level and makes
most appeal here on the strength and consistency of his form. Competitive off her current mark,
DEAUVILLE (4) is capable of fighting for victory together with GREASE (5) who has proven himself
in this category. GRAND KISS (6) has improved of late and has the credentials to make her
presence felt too, as does ZARQANA (12) after an improved recent outing.
