Race Preview

R1 – PRIX LE PAYS D’AUGE – ACTU.FR (PRIX DES LUPINS) – 2400m (a1 1/2m) – TURF – Claiming – Class 3 – Flat – EUR € 19.000

1. HAVOC – 3rd two runs back over 2000m at Lyon Parilly in a Class 3 handicap. Drops in class
and should be too smart
2. BLUE SWAN – Two latest runs have been over hurdles. The last flat run was over 2800m at
Compiegne when 3rd on March 20th. Merits consideration
3. GIANNIS UGO – Unplaced on only run so far over 2000m at Saint-Cloud in early May. Has work
to do
4. THAT’S MY POWER – Fair 2nd over 2500m in a claimer at Argentan on the last run on June 7th.
Others rate higher
5. NO MORE BOLERO – Won over 2500m at La Croise Laroche in a Class 3 race on April 24th
when last seen. Live contender
6. MOONFLIGHT – Unplaced the last two runs, 2nd before that over 3000m at Strasbourg in late
April. In the mix

Summary : This claimer could well be between HAVOC (1) who was a good third two starts ago
over 2000m at Lyon Parilly and NO MORE BOLERO (5) who won on his last outing over 2500m in
late April. A slight preference is for the former. MOONFLIGHT (6) will not make it easy for the two
already mentioned as he is only slightly worse off due to his claim price. He put in a fair effort when
2nd at Strasbourg three runs ago over 3000m. BLUE SWAN (2) is back on the flat after two runs
over hurdles and warrants respect.

SELECTIONS
HAVOC (1) – NO MORE BOLERO (5) – MOONFLIGHT (6) – BLUE SWAN (2)

R2 – PRIX SM CAEN (PRIX MATAHAWK) – 2400m (a1 1/2m) – TURF – Condition Race – Newcomers – Flat – EUR € 22.000

1. LUC SUR MER – Newcomer by Le Havre, the dam never ran. Top yard, bold show can be
expected on debut. Market signals are often informative
2. WISH HOP – Newcomer by Night Wish, Can be expected to be in need of this debut run. Market
support will be informative
3. TREVOR SENORA – Colt by Motivator, Yard runners tend to need a few runs before peaking.
Market best guide for clues
4. VERT GALAND – Gelding by Prince Gibraltar, Good yard who will have him well educated. Can
be on the premises. Watch the betting
5. GALIUS – Colt by Ectot, the dam won twice. Leading stable who can ready a debutant. The
market best guide for expected performance
6. ON A SOUFFERT – Newcomer by Recorder, Should be better for this run, any market support
should be noted
7. MOON DASH – A gelding by Sea The Moon, the yard runners normally need a race or two. Any
market support should be informative
8. SAN FELIPE – Gelding by Anodin, the dam was a winner. From a decent stable who can ready
a newcomer. Good run anticipated. Betting moves should be noted
9. KELLER DODVILLE – A gelding by Magician, the booking of Christophe Soumillon sets alarm
bells ringing, market support should be noted

Summary : Some nicely bred colts and geldings line up for this, all unraced. LUC SUR MER (1)
will be well-tuned for his debut and could be good enough to get off to a winning start. SAN FELIPE
(8) a gelded son of Anodin is from a top yard and can ready a newcomer. He could be the main
rival and should be watched closely in the betting market. GALIUS (5) should give a good account
on his first day at school as should VERT GALAND (4) who looks good on paper and the yard
runners warrant respect.

SELECTIONS
LUC SUR MER (1) – SAN FELIPE (8) – GALIUS (5) – VERT GALAND (4)

leading role. Watch for support in the betting

should be noted

Watch the betting closely
12. ALTESSEROYALETAVEL – Filly by Bathyrhon, should be much better for this debut run. Any
market support should be noted

should be noted

best for clues

prepared. Market support should be noted

Summary : BELLBIRD (9 )has plenty to like on paper and a winning debut by the Fabre newcomer
can be expected, her dam was a top-class performer, winning the Prix Royal-Oak (Group 1) when
trained by Fabre. ERIU (15) has a choice pedigree and could be will be well-tuned for a debut, she
can play a lead role under Maxime Guyon. ROSHDIYA (1) has a nice profile and should be watched
closely in the betting, her trainer has plenty of winners on debut. CRASY DAY (11) warrants respect
on her opening run, her dam won twice, both races over jumps, so she may need further in time.

SELECTIONS
BELLBIRD (9) – ERIU (15) – ROSHDIYA (1) – CRASY DAY (11)

R4 – PRIX WWW.ACTU.FR (PRIX D’AUBERVILLE) – 1600m (a1m) – TURF – Condition Race – Maiden – Flat – EUR € 20.000

1. CLAVUS – 5th on only run over 1200m at Saint-Cloud on May 23rd. Can improve from that and
bold run expected
2. SILVER SPIRIT – 4th on last run at Leicester(UK) over 1400m on June 17th. First, try on French
soil and sure to have a say
3. UNE PEINTURE – Fair debut when 6th over 1300m at Saint-Cloud in mid-June. Ought to be
thereabouts
4. GANASS – 5th over 1300m at Saint-Cloud when last racing in mid-June. Others seem better
equipped
5. PURPLE MOOD – Newcomer by Sommerbend, the dam was placed. Can feature on debut,
stable runners are usually well-educated. Market needs monitoring
6. BAILEYS VITESSE – Unraced colt by Supplicant, the dam won. Yard runners usually come
forward for an outing. Market best guide for clues

Summary : English raider SILVER SPIRIT (2) gets a marginal vote after a fourth-placed run at
Leicester (UK) when last seen on June 17th. The second that day has since won, so the race was
quite useful. CLAVUS (1) can improve a good deal from an encouraging debut over 1200m in May.
The winner that day has scored again since, by a wide margin. UNE PEINTURE (3) has also had
the one run so far and will likely be vying for a place position. PURPLE MOOD (5) looks good on
paper and should be watched closely for any market support.

SELECTIONS
SILVER SPIRIT (2) – CLAVUS (1) – UNE PEINTURE (3) – PURPLE MOOD (5)

R5 – PRIX LES NOUVELLES DE FALAISE – ACTU.FR (PRIX DE VAUVILLE) – 1600m (a1m) – TURF – Condition Race – Maiden – Flat – EUR € 20.000

1. LILY OFTHE KINGDON – Out of the frame on only run at Craon over 1300m in mid-June. Others
make more sense
2. ASKAYA – Unplaced on only run at Saint-Cloud over 1400m on June 23rd.Unlikely to trouble
some of these
3. SALMA – Out of the frame on only run at Strasbourg over 1400m on June 12th. Needs an
improved effort to make the frame
4. RANEVSKAYA – 7th at Saint-Cloud over 1400m on the only run so far in early June. Can improve
and make the frame
5. ETERNEL’S BEAUTE – 4th in the same race SHIFFRIN (6) was 2nd in at Saint-Cloud in late
June over 1400m. Can improve for that and is a live danger
6. SHIFFRIN – Good 2nd over 1400m at Saint-Cloud on the last run on June 23rd. Sets the standard
7. MARA WOOD – Two 5th placed runs so far, the latest over 1400m at Nantes in early June.
Vulnerable
8. FASNY – Did well when 2nd over 1350m at Senonnes on the last outing. Can not be overlooked
9. LADY OF NABEUL – Unplaced on only run over 1400m on June 6th at Saint-Cloud. Will know
more this time and can be on the premises
10. RUMPLETEAZER – Ran 4th over 1300m at Saint-Cloud on June 14th on the last outing. Can
make presence felt
11. URBAN CHOPE – Did not feature on only run over 1400m at Strasbourg in mid-June. Has work
to do to have a say
12. M’ENTENTU – Newcomer by Attendu, the dam never ran. Respected stable, market support
should be monitored

Summary : SHIFFRIN (6) ran a very good second at Saint-Cloud over 1400m on June 23rd and
should be good enough to win this, she will likely have most to fear from ETERNEL’S BEAUTE (5)
who was fourth in the same race at Saint-Cloud. That was her debut, and with normal improvement
expected, she should make the selection work hard for success. RUMPLETEAZER (10) is one to
include in place bet permutations, she has experience and looks sure to make the frame at worst.
FASNY (8) looks the best of the remainder.

SELECTIONS
SHIFFRIN (6) – ETERNEL’S BEAUTE (5) – RUMPLETEAZER (10) – FASNY (8)

R6 – PX LA RENAISS.LA BESSIN -ACTU.FR(PX AL)(CHMPT PT DES APP. & J. JOCK.) – 1800m (a1 1/8m) – TURF – Handicap Claiming – Class 4 – Flat – EUR € 14.000

1. APOLLON – Caught the eye when 2nd at Fontainbleau over 1800m in May and finished 5th
more recently. Big runner
2. TRIMLIGHT – He was a winner three starts back at Compiegne over 1400m and rates a serious
chance here. He is the first choice
3. MIXED MIND – Looking for his 10th win, caught the eye last time when 3rd at La Gacilly over
2250m. Include in all bets despite being an outsider
4. SOARING EAGLE – Finished 4th at Chantilly three runs back and 6th at Argentan over 2100m
in his last start. Should run well and must be respected
5. MOUDIR – Looking for the 10th career win, fair 5th last time over 2100m at Chantilly in June and
could be some value
6. CHUBASCO – Has fair recent form and must be taken seriously. His last run was at Craon over
1650m finishing 7th. He can build on that. Chance
7. HEAVENLY VISION – Has not won the maiden yet and would be a surprise winner. Happy to
dismiss his chances
8. MEANDRO – Holding form, finished 3rd last time at Morlaix over 1800m and must be taken
seriously. Each way claims
9. CATALINA – She cannot be fancied on current form and should find it tough to threaten here
10. HEY MAN – Has won many races, last win was at Senonnes over 1350m and is one for the
shortlist. Bright chance
11. ALBERT BRIDGE – Needs to find a lot more on recent form and can be passed by

Summary : TRIMLIGHT (2) has consistent Handicap form and rates the one to be with.
CHUBASCO (6) can do better than his recent form suggests and should make his presence felt at
the finish. APOLLON (1) has done fairly since coming to France and should be right there. Expect
a first four effort from him. HEY MAN (10) was a winner four races back and is one for the shortlist.

SELECTIONS
TRIMLIGHT (2) – CHUBASCO (6) – APOLLON (1) – HEY MAN (10)
