R1 – PRIX DE L’ESPLANADE – 1200m (a6f) – TURF – Condition Race – Class 2 – Flat – EUR € 27.000
1. LA BELLE POETE – Won her penultimate at Lion D’Angers and finished 5th after that in a Listed
over 1600m at Deauville. She looks hard to beat
2. DAMIEN – Has won twice already, finished 4th at Deauville on the 28th August and should go
close. Big runner
3. INTELLECT – Has solid form, finished 2nd over 1400m at Lion D’Angers in early August and is
a must for all bets. Strong each way
4. ROCAMBOLESQUE – Won penultimate over 1200m at Chantilly and contested a Listed
thereafter. Expect plenty improvement on recent run. Good chance
5. NORMANJITO – Caught the eye on debut when 4th and followed that up with a victory over
1400m at La Teste. Could be anything. Follow
6. FLOWERSPRING – She finished 3rd at Vichy over 1600m last time and can place again. Value
place suggestion
Summary : LA BELLE POETE (1) is lightly raced and clearly has ability. Her last run in a Listed
Feature was good and she rates the one to be with. INTELLECT (3) is holding his form and must
be taken seriously for all bets. A big run can be expected from him. ROCAMBOLESQUE (4) was
thrown in the deep end last time in a Listed event. He can build on that effort and has a chance in
this class. DAMIEN (2) is, like the others, showing talent and is a must for the quartet.
SELECTIONS
LA BELLE POETE (1) – INTELLECT (3) – ROCAMBOLESQUE (4) – DAMIEN (2)
R2 – PRIX DE SAINT-CYR-LES-VIGNES – 1600m (a1m) – TURF – Condition Race – Maiden – Flat – EUR € 23.000
1. SAINT AQUILIN – Finished 6th on debut at Deauville over 1400m in a competitive race and has
huge scope to improve. He is the first choice
2. ASTROLOGER – Plenty of cheek can be expected from him as the debut performance was
outstanding when 2nd at Dieppe in August. Big runner
3. MISTER FERNANDO – Caught the attention when 2nd at Clairefontaine. He should be right
there and has a bright chance
4. NIGHT ACTION – Has plenty of scope to build on debut 4th over 1400m at Vichy, mid last month.
Include in the quartet
5. YELLOW BRICK ROAD – Will need to improve on debut 8th finish over 1800m at Clairefontaine
but can. An outsider that could be worth including
6. GREY FIGHTER – Has placed in all 3 starts to date and can get closer than his most recent 3rd
at Clairefontein over 1600m. Strong place chance
7. PINEAPPLE EXPRESS – A son of Dariyan making his debut. Could be anything. Watch the
betting trends but far prefer others this time
Summary : SAINT AQUILIN (1) made an attractive debut and surely has any amount of scope to
improve. If he were to improve, to win, it would be no surprise at all and is therefore the first choice.
ASTROLOGER (2) ran an absolute cracker on debut finishing second and should have gained a
lot from the experience. MISTER FERNANDO (3) made his presence felt in his local introduction
and based on that, can give plenty of cheek today. GREY FIGHTER (6) is a natural inclusion in the
quartet.
SELECTIONS
SAINT AQUILIN (1) – ASTROLOGER (2) – MISTER FERNANDO (3) – GREY FIGHTER (6)
R3 – PRIX DE LA PELOUSE – 2200m (a1 3/8m) – TURF – Condition Race – Class 3 – Flat – EUR € 15.000
1. BAZOQUES – Has a chance based on encouraging recent fourth at Moulins over 2200m last
month. A. must for the quartet
2. PORTALIS – Ignore last run, has some fair overall form but others could be too strong for the
win today. Place claims
3. GOLD MOUNTAIN – Won well in June over 2400m at this track and if not in too much need of
the run, can go very close. Big runner
4. ETHION – Solid form and is never too far off the winners. Should, again, run an honest race and
is one for consideration. Chance
5. LE CHATELAIN – Needs to improve a lot on current form to threaten here and can be ignored.
Pass by
6. KOSAKENZIPFEL – Will need to build on penultimate disappointment and most recent 6th at
Munich – Riem. Has fair overall form and can threaten. Chance
7. ARAMHES – Was a winner three runs back at Chantilly over 2000m. His form since then has
been fair enough. The horse to beat
8. ALJANAH – She was a winner 4 runs ago, needs to improve on recent 9th at Parislongchamp,
and can. An outsider that can place
Summary : ARAMHES (7) is a three time winner from just eight starts and is ultra-consistent. His
rating of 42 tells a story and he rates the one they all have to fear the most. KOSAKENZIPFEL (6)
does have some erratic form but has shone here in France. His Dutch run, last time needs to be
improved upon. He has each way claims and can be right there at the finish. GOLD MOUNTAIN
(3) was a winner last time and can follow up and BAZOQUES (1) can confirm her most recent
placed effort. Include in the quartet.

R4 – PRIX DE VENISSIEUX – 1350m (a7f) – TURF – Handicap Claiming – Class 4 – Flat – EUR € 14.000
1. STORMY AIR – Has consistent form and could be the one they all have to beat. Finished 4th at
Deauville over 1500m last time. Big runner
2. INVESTISSEUR – Strong chance based on overall form. Can build on recent 6th at Dieppe over
1100m. Respect and include
3. MADOUSS – Taking time to win again, finished 5th at Deauville last time and can go close.
Winning chance
4. ACCLAM – Is a tad off form at the moment and will need to improve for the win. Ignore last run
when 11th at Vichy. Hard to assess
5. RED TORCH – Will need to build on current form to threaten. Taking time for the win and is hard
to fancy. Quartet chance
6. ARCO GRANDE – Was a winner five starts back but has not shaped since. Others preferred and
can be ignored
7. WHY CHOPE – Won cozily at Vittel over 1300m last month and could certainly make her
presence felt again. Each way chance
8. HAPPY DREAM – Showed last time when 2nd over 1300m at Vittel that his next win could be
soon. Can go one better but others preferred
9. ULTIMATE FIGHT – Won well last time over 1300m at Deauville and must be taken very seriously
again. Can follow up. Good chance
10. DESERT HEIGHTS – Would be a shock winner based on current form and can be ignored
11. SAKHARAH – Is one for the shortlist. Finished 3rd at Vichy last month and can get into the
action. Big chance for the places
12. COIMBRA – She is taking time to win again but ran well last time. Place chance at best. Others
seem stronger
Summary : MADOUSS (3) is taking time to get it all right again but is always there and thereabouts.
His next victory seems near. STORMY AIR (1) is in mustard form and could be the one they all
have to worry about the most. Plenty off cheek can be expected from him. INVESTISSEUR (2) was
a winner a few starts back and has been running well since. He will need to build on his most recent
run, but can. ACCLAM (4) will need to improve a lot on current form for the win but can certainly
earn some prize money.

R5 – PRIX SERGE MAILLARD – 2400m (a1 1/2m) – TURF – Handicap – Class 4 – Flat – EUR € 14.000
1. PUMPY GIRL – Ran a huge race last time when second over 2200m at Moulins in August. She
clearly has talent and ability and is the firm first choice
2. EUSTACHE – Will need to build on current form before being selected. Others should be too
strong
3. ZINZICHERA – Ignore last run, caught the eye in penultimate when 2nd at Vichy over 2400m,
can go close. Strong place chance
4. BABY KEY – She could lurk into the back end of the quartets based on best efforts but others
preferred for the gold
5. MONALIE – Knocking at the door and can go one better. Finished second over 1800m last time
and has a very good chance. Include
6. WELCOME VALENTIN – Was a winner at Evreux over 2500m last time and could follow up. A
must for all bets. Each way chance
7. INDIAN SONG – Seldom far away from the winners but has a lot more to find to beat the top
ones. Hard to select
8. FEEDESREVES – Small place chance based on penultimate 2nd over 2600m in May, then ran
in June. Has been rested and could need this
9. ROSE DIAMANT – Won last time against weaker and might battle to follow up. Pass by
Summary : PUMPY GIRL (1) stays well, has solid current and overall form and is the one that sets
the standard. MONALIE (5) is knocking loudly at the door and can go one better. A huge effort can
be expected from her. WELCOME VALENTIN (6) is fresh off a victory at Evreux and if he were to
follow up, it would be no shock at all. He has strong each way claims and ZINZICHERA (3) can
build on her last performance. She knows how to win, having done it 13 times.

1. KUDAFUSHI – Will need to build on recent 6th at Vichy over 1600m last month. Others looks to
be way better
2. ASTRA DREAM – Has finished 5th and 4th in both starts and has scope to build on those efforts.
An outsider that could lurk into the money
3. SEDUISANTE – Will be very competitive based on excellent debut when 4th at Chantilly over
1400m. Ignore second run and include
4. ROSA TREZY – Caught the eye on debut when 4th at Saint-Malo over 1600m. Ignore last run,
should be right there. Bright chance
5. LA MAZZI GOGO – Will need plenty improvement to threaten and is difficult to select. Happy to
ignore
6. RIO – Chance on good debut but second run is a huge worry. Ignore that. Has strong claims
7. MADEMOISELLE LILLY – Placed in all three runs and the run at Compiegne over 1400m
impresses. Strong each way chance
8. FATHOM – Finished 2nd at Clairefontaine over 1600m last time after also finishing 2nd on debut.
Obviously has ability and rates the one to beat
9. MISS ASCOT – Will need to improve on what we have seen thus far but can. Prefer to pass by
for now
10. PRINCESSE COLUMBIA – Daughter of Dream Ahead that makes her debut and could be
absolutely anything. Watch the betting
11. LOVE ACTUALLY – A daughter of Churchill out of a Sea The Stars mare that could end up
being absolutely anything. Watch the betting
12. LAPOINTEDESPIEDS – Comes from a competitive yard, a daughter of Wootton Bassett, watch
the betting trends. Could go close on debut
13. SOLTANA BELIEVE – Watch the betting with regard to this daughter of Make Believe’s
chances. Others preferred
Summary : FATHOM (8) has placed in both her runs to date and should take a power of beating
this time. MADEMOISELLE LILLY (7) has only run once in France and finished 4th. Her other two
runs were excellent and she can go close to winning. Expect her to be very competitive.
LAPOINTEDESPIEDS (12) is a daughter of Wootton Bassett whom could feature in the finish first
time at the races. Watch the betting market for more or less confidence. SEDUISANTE (3) can
build on her last run as her debut performance was encouraging.

1. MIRZANN – Finished 2nd at Deauville over 2000m last month and rates a very hard horse to
oppose. Strong win
2. WHYDAH GALLY – Has placed 4 from 4 and should be victorious soon. Last run finished 2nd at
Lyon-Parilly over 2200m and can go one better. Huge runner
3. GEORGICA – Needs improvement on what we have seen thus far. Might still have something to
offer but rather wait for improvement
4. FRENCH MARTINI – Ran a cracking good 3rd on debut over 2400m at Clairefontaine and has
tons of scope to progress. Good chance
5. SOLVEIG FURY – Cannot be fancied on form seen thus far and can be ignored. Pass by
6. AVANTI’S DREAM – Will need to build on recent 2nd at Dieppe to have a chance against these
but certainly not without hope. Include in larger quartets
7. IRISH MAN – Could run well on debut. Watch the betting trends for more of an idea
8. MR PERCY – A son of Sir Percy that could be anything. Expect a positive effort first time out but
watch the betting for more of an indication
Summary : MIRZANN (1) has caught the eye in both his starts and in fact has put up excellent
performances. He looks difficult to oppose. FRENCH MARTINI (4) has plenty of scope to build on
his solid debut performance and should not be a maiden for too long. He is a huge runner.
WHYDAH GALLY (2) has a strong place chance and IRISH MAN (7) could be good enough to
make an impression first time at school today.

MIRZANN (1) – FRENCH MARTINI (4) – WHYDAH GALLY (2) – IRISH MAN (7)
R8 – PRIX WOLFRAM – 1600m (a1m) – TURF – Handicap – Flat – EUR € 20.000
1. BRANDYWINE – Finished 3rd at Vichy over 1600m last time and has to be taken very seriously.
Respect and include in all play

the win
3. SNOWFINCH – Needs to build on current efforts but can as has shown ability before. Each way
chance

quartets
6. LINFASOMMER – Ran 3rd at Moulins over 1000m last month and must have a say based on
that. Place chance

preferred
8. WEEKEND WARRIOR – Others preferred for the win and place positions and can be passed by
9. MY TAKY TAKY LP – Was an impressive and gutsy winner at Clairefontaine over 1600m last
time and can follow up. Expect plenty of cheek. Good chance
10. A STOLEN KISS – Ran a huge race last time in 2nd over 1900m at Deauville and could prove
hard to beat here. Strong win choice
11. ISLA DEL SOL – Has a chance based on encouraging penultimate 3rd at Vittel over 1600m.
More needed for the win but has a strong place chance
Summary : A STOLEN KISS (10) is running well and ran an absolute cracker last time at Deauville
and is confidently tipped to go one better and record her second career victory. SNOW FINCH (3)
for Godolphin can be forgiven for her last few below par efforts and can do much better. MY TAKY
TAKY LP (9) bounced right back to winning ways last time and can follow up. BRANDYWINE (1)
won three starts back and placed last time. She should be in the mix and is a must for all bets.
