Race Preview

R13 – PRIX REGIA SEMPER – 1400m (a7f) – TURF – Condition Race – Class 3 – Flat – EUR € 15.000

1. ATLANTIGO – Unreliable sort but is quite capable of staking a claim in a race of this nature. Can
get into the picture
2. HOT SPOT – Well-beaten last of 8 on his reappearance but is capable of a lot better than that.
Dangerous to dismiss
3. UNAMUNO – Up 0,5kg for winning a claiming race last time but his rider’s 2,5kg allowance should
stand him in good stead
4. ROMANTIC MOON – Inconsistent but has considerable means and a good record at this track.
Likely to play a leading role
5. DON FALCO – Has looked distinctly ordinary for some time now, so his chances are limited even
at this level. Ignore
6. LIGHT UP MY DREAM – Has been struggling for some time now so is unlikely to trouble the
judge here. Others are preferred
7. BAYOUN – Absent since finishing 8th in a Quinté+ back in April but has the means to be
competitive at this level
8. RICHMOND – Open to improvement after finishing a modest 6th on debut but is best watched
for now. Outsider
9. SWEEPING – Placed at Listed level in the UK and ought to have improved after a comeback run
ar Madrid. Respect
10. MERRI – Undeniably capable but appears to have gone off the boil after winning three starts
back. Dark horse
11. SILVER SILENT – Capable but inconsistent mare who continues to blow hot and cold. Hard to
trust but hard to rule out

Summary : ROMANTIC MOON (4) has a good record at this track so is taken to bounce back to
winning ways having returned to form by finishing 2nd at Toulouse last time. She will, however,
have to be wary of SWEEPING (9) who would’ve improved after a pleasing (5th) reappearance last
month. BAYOUN (7) is competitive at this level but there are doubts about his current level of form.
SILVER SILENT (11) recently proved her form and well-being so cannot be discounted either.

SELECTIONS
ROMANTIC MOON (4) – SWEEPING (9) – BAYOUN (7) – SILVER SILENT (11)

R14 – PRIX A.ET M. D’ARCANGUES – 2100m (a1 5/16m) – TURF – Condition Race – Class 3 – Flat – EUR € 16.000

1. SAINT SEVER – Improved to win his second start of the year at Gabarret and could be better
suited to this trip. Chance
2. HENRY THE LION – Absent since finishing 3rd in November, makes his reappearance after
gelding. Has scope to improve
3. GLORIETTE SAN – Made a winning start to the year and is likely to have improved since, so
could have more to offer
4. TARJAMAH – Won on debut at Wolverhampton before finishing 7th in both subsequent starts
including in a Listed race behind INNER SPACE (5)
5. INNER SPACE – Won at Kempton on debut and was last seen finishing 6th in a Listed race.
Could make a winning start on French soil
6. SORIANE – Has nothing noteworthy to her name to warrant consideration here and can be ruled
out. Overlook
7. KADANCE DE BOZOULS – Finished 5th in all three outings and is unlikely to trouble the judge
here. Others make more appeal

Summary : After starting their careers in England, INNER SPACE (5) and TARJAMAH (4) have
both crossed the Channel recently to join François Rohaut and they can hit hard from the start with
a slight preference for the George Strawbrige-owned former. On his comeback from a rest, during
which he was gelded, HENRY THE LION (2) could improve to pose a threat along with last-start
winner SAINT SEVER (1) who is also dangerous to dismiss.

SELECTIONS
INNER SPACE (5) – TARJAMAH (4) – HENRY THE LION (2) – SAINT SEVER (1)

R15 – PRIX DE LA SOURCE DES PAUVRES – 2100m (a1 5/16m) – TURF – Claiming – Flat – EUR € 12.000

1. OAHU – Was ahead of KHANSA (4) and KISANA BERE (9) at this level and on this course last
time. One to beat
2. URBAN WELLS – Unreliable sort but is quite capable of staking a claim in a race of this nature.
Dangerous to dismiss
3. SUPERIOR BEAUTY – Claimed after finishing 2nd at this track and is likely to appreciate this
shorter distance. Has claims
4. KHANSA – Has been beaten recently by OAHU (1) after leading. WIll give a good sight but has
a bit to find here
5. YELLOW SAND – Has looked rather ordinary for some time now, so her chances are limited
even at this level. Outsider
6. PEYRASSOL – Showed signs of improvement last time and could have a say here if confirming
that form. Dark horse
7. PINTXOPOTE – Has been struggling to regain form or consistency for some time now so unlikely
to trouble the judge
8. LOVELY TRAOU LAND – Undeniably capable but is inconsistent and appears to have gone off
the boil recently. Must reaffirm
9. KISANA BERE – Finished a promising 4th on debut behind OAHU (1) and KHANSA (4) and
should improve. Keep safe

Summary : Runner-up in his consecutive outings recently, OAHU (1) is currently in good physical
condition and can break through for a first success on French soil. He renews rivalry with KHANSA
(4), whom he beat recently, and can confirm his superiority. SUPERIOR BEAUTY (3) arrives in
good form and is likely to make her presence felt, as is KISANA BERE (9) who ought to improve
after a pleasing (4th) introduction.

SELECTIONS
OAHU (1) – KHANSA (4) – SUPERIOR BEAUTY (3) – KISANA BERE (9)

R16 – PRIX DE LA FONTAINE SEVIGNE – 2100m (a1 5/16m) – TURF – Claiming – Class 4 – Flat – EUR € 16.000

1. HAPPY HARRY – Failed at Aix-les-Bains last time but is back in the blinkers he wore at SaintCloud previously. Keep safe
2. EL INGRATO – Course specialist in great shape and with solid form references. Should have a
leading role to play
3. BATTLE OF THE NILE – Capable but inconsistent sort who has continued to blow hot and cold,
so is dangerous to dismiss
4. PARABAK – Consistent, finished 5th here last time and has already won at this track. Should
have a role to play
5. SAY GOOD BUY – Inconsistent and has been largely out of sorts but at a higher level. Ought to
fare better at this level
6. GLORYTOF – Consistent for the most part and has finished 2nd in three of his last four starts.
Will have a role to play
7. A BETTER WORLD – Undeniably capable but has been absent since December, so is best
watched for now. For another day
8. ASCOT ANGEL – Failed in a Quinté+ at La Teste after an easy victory at Agen. Should redeem
himself in this grade
9. MAITRE YODA – Has looked distinctly ordinary for some time now, so his chances are limited
even at this level
10. THE MAGIC MAN – Unreliable but is not incapable of getting into the picture in a race of this
nature. Dangerous to dismiss
11. BARENTON – Has nothing noteworthy to his name to warrant consideration here and can be
ruled out. Overlook
12. HERRING ISLAND – Showed signs of improvement last time but will need to raise his game to
get a look in. Place chance

Summary : ASCOT ANGEL (8) is a three-time Quinte+ winner who, while no longer performing at
his best level, is more than capable of winning this claiming race. SAY GOOD BUY (5) fits a similar
profile and ought to redeem himself at this level, so cannot be discounted. PARABAK (4) is at ease
on this track so can join in the fight for victory. HAPPY HARRY (1) is inconsistent but has a
theoretical chance under his rider with a 3,5kg allowance. EL INGRATO (2), successful at this track,
has claims too.

SELECTIONS
ASCOT ANGEL (8) – SAY GOOD BUY (5) – PARABAK (4) – HAPPY HARRY (1)
