Race Preview
R1 – PRIX PLACE ROYALE – 1600m (a1m) – TURF – Condition Race – Flat – EUR € 23.000
1. BOLIDE PORTO – Not disgraced when sixth on debut last month at Saint Cloud. Extra distance
this time should suit and can go close with improvement expected
2. CAPE CANNON – Holding his form well and he was not disgraced when fourth last time out.
Tries a bit further and looks the one to be with in this line-up
3. ALOHA – Did not show much on her debut. Did a little better when fifth last time out but will need
to do a lot more to win this race
4. REVALITE – Fair first two starts. Drop in distance could suit and she could finish in the money
this time
5. MIMI CITRON – Well beaten on her debut. Did better when seventh last time out but she will
need to find a few lengths to win this race
6. MA MOME – A winner of four claimers this year. Not disgraced when fifth last time out and can
contest the finish
7. WHILAND – A two-year-old filly by Land Force out of Whim who is making her debut. Can win
Summary : CAPE CANNON (2) has been good without winning so far. Stepping up in distance
should suit and he is the one to beat in this line-up. BOLIDE PORTO (1) was not disgraced when
sixth on debut and should improve on that going further this time. He will be a threat. WHILAND (7)
makes her debut and could be ready to score. MA MOME (6) has won four times in claimers and
deserves some respect.

CAPE CANNON (2) – BOLIDE PORTO (1) – WHILAND (7) – MA MOME (6)
R2 – PRIX COURANT D’AIR – 2400m (a1 1/2m) – TURF – Condition Race – Flat – EUR € 16.500
1. KINDER DU GOUET – Not disgraced when fifth last time out and won his penultimate start but
this is a tougher race. Might place
2. KANFYN LUDOIS – Not disgraced when fifth on debut and did even better when winning over
further last time out. Can fight out the finish
3. KING DENUO – Did not not show much on hurdle debut. Did better on the flat last time out but
more is needed to win this race
4. KING THOU LEZ – Runner-up on his debut over this distance at Moulins in August. Likely to be
smarter this time and he can go one better
5. KOKTAIL DIVIN – Not disgraced when fourth over this distance at Moulins in August. Capable
of improvement and is clearly not out of it
6. KARCALIN – Did not show much on debut when ninth. Capable of improvement but others are
preferred this time
7. KILLY ANGE – A three-year-old filly by Jeu St Eloi out of Drôlement Jolie who is making her
debut. Can win
Summary : KING THOU LEZ (4) only found one better on debut. He is capable of improvement
and looks the right one in this line-up. KANFYN LUDOIS (2) is improving and coming off a nice win
over further but will still be a threat this distance. KOKTAIL DIVIN (5) was not disgraced when fourth
on debut and should do a lot better this time. KILLY ANGE (7) could be a danger on her debut.

KING THOU LEZ (4) – KANFYN LUDOIS (2) – KOKTAIL DIVIN (5) – KILLY ANGE (7)
R3 – PRIX PMU & NOUS – 2400m (a1 1/2m) – TURF – Condition Race – Flat – EUR € 22.000
1. SALOCIN – Holding form well and he has already won three times this year. Distance suited and
should make a bold bid
2. KER STORMY – Fair form since winning over this course and distance in April. Good fourth in
his late start and has a winning chance
3. PALAIMON – Disappointing last two runs since winning in May. Capable of doing better and is
not out of it
4. RUE JONAS – Only modest in her two starts since winning in August. Needs to do more to win
this race and others are preferred
5. MYSTIC – Just needed his last run when fifth last time out over this distance. In good form befoe
that and has a winning chance
6. PENCLAUDJEANGREEN – Not disgraced when over this distance in his penultimate start but
he has struggled in his other starts this year. Might place
7. LE PETIT GEGENE – Likes this course and was runner-up last time out. Better over further but
could contest the finish
8. COEUR DAVIER – On a very long losing streak since only win. Has struggled in six starts this
year and others are much preferred
Summary : SALOCIN (1) is distance suited and has been in very good form this year. He has a
big winning chance in this line-up. MYSTIC (5) just needed his last run and should do better this
time. PALAIMON (3) is better than his last two runs would suggest and can bounce back to score.
KER STORMY (2) won over this course and distance in April and has a winning chance.

SALOCIN (1) – MYSTIC (5) – PALAIMON (3) – KER STORMY (2)
R4 – PRIX DE L’AUTOMNE – 2400m (a1 1/2m) – TURF – Condition Race – Flat – EUR € 17.000
1. SEAHERA – Has improved with each run so far. Probably needs to do more to win this race but
could play a minor role
2. VENTOSILLA – Not disgraced when sixth on debut and did a lot better when runner-up over this
course and distance in her second start. Can go one better this time
3. CAPRICE A DEUX – Has not shown much in her five starts. Probably at best around this distance
but others are much preferred
4. ALTESSEROYALETAVEL – Did not show much on her debut in July when ninth over this
distance. Capable of improvement but others are preferred
5. MARFISA – Disappointing last run when ninth. Clearly capable of doing better and should like
this course and distance. Has a winning chance
6. VRAIE STORM – Ran well when runner-up on debut which was over this distance. A bit of a
disappointment when fifth last time out but can bounce back to score over this trip
7. GUINESS STAR – A three-year-old colt by Guignol out of Karistar who is making his debut.
Watch the betting
8. BOUM DU NINIAN – A three-year-old filly by Le Houssais out of Boum des Aigles who is making
her debut. Watch the betting
9. KEMOON – A three-year-old filly by Spanish Moon out of Kenohio who is making her debut. Can
win
Summary : VENTOSILLA (2) is improving and can go one better on her good last run which was
over this track and trip. VRAIE STORM (6) ran well on debut over this distance so perhaps the last
run over a shorter distance is best ignored. MARFISA (5) disappointed last time out but can bounce
back to score if showing her best side. KEMOON (9) makes her debut but deserves some respect.

VENTOSILLA (2) – VRAIE STORM (6) – MARFISA (5) – KEMOON (9)
R5 – PRIX DE VERSAILLES – 1400m (a7f) – TURF – Divised Handicap – Flat – EUR € 55.000
1. HAYEJOHN – Won a Listed race as a two-year-old last season, so is the class horse of the race.
Ran well at this value on his handicap debut and has every chance of staking a claim despite
shouldering 61kg
2. LA GALIOTE – Unsuccessful at Listed level and was dominated on her handicap debut. Dropped
1,5kg but best watched for now
3. SAHARA SPRING – Has demonstrated commendable consistency in this category but is high
enough off this mark and has no room for maneuver at this level. Place chance
4. NOLITO – His penultimate outing aside, has performed well in this category despite never really
looking like winning. Dangerous to dismiss
5. BLUE BAYOU – Runner-up on handicap debut last time but at a lower level and with the help of
Marlène Meyer’s allowance. For another day
6. SIDEDREAM – Won on debut last year but has been somewhat disappointing since the turn of
the year. Did not go unnoticed, despite finishing 9th, in her first outing at this level and could get
into the picture
7. MAAYAFUSHI – Failed several times at values of 37 and 36.5 before winning a good Class 2 at
Le Lion d’Angers. Up 1,5kg in a handicap now, has it all to do
8. BIG LOG – Won a handicap this winter at a value of 33 and has remained reasonably competitive
at 37.5. For lovers of outsiders
9. TAWAFUQ – Made a good start to her career conditions races in the South-West before finishing
a creditable 4th at Deauville in her first Quinté+. High on the shortlist
10. QUARTZ DU HOULEY – Still a maiden but has, nevertheless, demonstrated incredible
consistency, finishing no worse than 4th in his 9 starts. Has proven his competitiveness at this
level too, has obvious claims
11. COSMO BEAU – Last-start winner who has never finished further than 5th in seven outings at
this level. Carries a 2,5kg penalty against tougher opposition, so has it all to do
12. LE FREINAY – Out of sorts beyond 1400m but remains more than capable over this distance,
especially having been dropped 1kg. Dark horse
13. AVERSA – Sparked signs of a return to form in a Quinté+ at Fontainebleau last time and, judged
on her best references, looks well placed in the weights to have a say here. Keep safe
14. RECORDING ANGEL – Finished 6th in her only handicap outing and has since acquitted herself
well in conditions races. Dropped 1kg but still has little room for maneuver, outside chance 15. MICHELANGELO – Consistent colt, runner-up in a handicap last time but that was at a much
lower level. Without being outclassed, he will not have an easy time facing opposition of this ilk
16. ALVA – Came very close to making a winning start at this level when 2nd against her elders
last time and the shortening of the distance here is unlikely to bother her. Winning chance
Summary : ALVA (16) fought to the very end for success against her elders last time when pitched
into this grade and was only narrowly beaten into 2nd. She is still lightly raced and entitled to
progress. QUARTZ DU HOULEY (10) may be a maiden but he has demonstrated commendable
consistency in this category and will be winning sooner rather than later. AVERSA (13) has very
interesting form lines to her name and has shown signs of a resurgence recently. Consistent
TAWAFUQ (9), who represents a stable in terrific form, top-weighted HAYEJOHN (1), the class
horse in the race, and LE FREINAY (12), back over a distance more to his liking, are capable of
having a say too.

ALVA (16) – QUARTZ DU HOULEY (10) – AVERSA (13) – TAWAFUQ (9)
R6 – PRIX DU BOIS JOLI – 2400m (a1 1/2m) – TURF – Handicap – Flat – EUR € 14.000
1. KARAKOY – Has yet to win a race and is unreliable but he was runner-up in his penultimate start
and could finish in the money
2. JANAJKA – Clearly needed her only run of the year when well beaten last time out. Likely to
need this run as well
3. AQUITAINE – Holding her form well and she won twice in May. Distance suited and she should
fight out the finish yet again
4. KIROZ – Unreliable and has been struggling over a longer distance this year. Drop in trip could
spark improvement. Place chance
5. STORMY FLOO – Not disgraced when fourth last time out but she has been well tried this year
without winning. Could play a minor role
6. NORQUI DES ROSES – Unreliable since his only win which was in July. Well beaten last time
out but is capable of doing better. Mighht place
7. WHITENIGHT – Unreliable but he has been in good form of late. Not disgraced when fourth over
this distance last time out. Deserves some respect
8. LEANDER – He has not shown much in his five starts so far. Tries a bit further and could improve
but others are preferred
9. MI BONITO – Unreliable and he has been well beaten in his last two starts. Capable of doing
better but others are preferred
10. CUBA LIBRE – Disappointing last run when sixth. Fair form since winning over this course and
distance in April. Has a winning chance
11. FAN ZONE – Disappointing last run when sixth. Won over further before that and is versatile
distance-wise. Not out of it
12. LADY STRAIGHT – On a very long losing run since her only win but she is in good form.
Distance suited and clearly not out of it
13. ANTAIOS – His only win was in a claimer in 2021. Returns from a lengthy break and he is likely
to need some runs
14. COMMANDEUR – Well tried this year without winning and he has really been struggling of late.
Others are preferred
Summary : CUBA LIBRE (10) is better than his last run would suggest and he has won over this
course and distance before. He is the choice in an open looking race. AQUITAINE (3) has been
very consistent since winning twice earlier this year and has an obvious winning chance. LADY
STRAIGHT (12) is in good form and could break a long losing run. KARAKOY (1) is unreliable but
could contest the finish.

R7 – PRIX AS D’ATOUT – 1500m (a7 1/2f) – TURF – Condition Race – Flat – EUR € 30.000
1. BRIO – Le Brivido gelding whose dam is a Listed breeder across the Channel. Warrants utmost
respect with Christophe Soumillon engaged
2. TERRE DE VEGA – Lope De Vega colt bred in the purple, as his dam is a sister to none other
than Trève. High on the shortlist of potential winners
3. CARLSTON – Gelded son of Dabirsim on debut for trainer Stéphane Cérulis, who has engaged
jockey Aurélien Lemaitre to ride
4. GRAND CALYX – The Grey Gatsby newcomer to take note of with Tony Piccone engaged to
ride for trainer-owner Henri-Alex Pantall
5. GOLDFIELD – Théo Bachelot is a noteworthy jockey engagement aboard this Stéphane Cérulistrained colt by Profitable
6. NOBLE COTAI – Stéphane Labate-trained Cotai Glory newcomer to be ridden by Clément
Lecoeuvre. Outsider of the field
7. DRIVER’S PICK – Well-bred Too Darn Hot colt whose dam lines includes Eastern Anthem, a
Group 1 winner at Nad Al Sheba in Dubai. Keep safe
8. VAMOS LUIGI – Well-related Churchill colt who is a full brother to Foundation, Group I placed in
England. One to note
9. PROBABLY ME – Master’s Spirit colt whose dam has already produced 12 winners, including
Group III placed Chinandega as well as the Spirit’s Revench and Sisyphe
10. FASHION GREY – His mother has already given three winners. He can do well straight away.
Summary : In this event for unraced two-year-old colts and geldings, the candidacy of well-related
TERRE DE VEGA (2), whose dam is a sister to the champion Trève, is sure to attract attention.
DRIVER’S PICK (7) and VAMOS LUIGI (8) are also well-bred newcomers who make plenty appeal
on paper and should be watched closely. PROBABLY ME (9), whose dam has already produced
several winners, and BRIO (1), with Christophe Soumillon engaged, are others capable of running
forward races on debut.

R8 – PRIX D’AUFFARGIS – 2400m (a1 1/2m) – TURF – Divised Handicap – Flat – EUR € 21.000
1. ON A SOUFFERT – Lightly raced sort who ran better at Evreux last time than his finishing position
(7th) suggests. Not taken lightly
2. SALSA DU DEMON – Unreliable but seldom finishes far off the mark on a going day. Hard to
trust but is not easily ruled out
3. MEHGAWAY – Slightly disappointing over 3000m last time (7th) having acquitted herself well
(2nd) over 2500m in her previous outing. Has a winning chance here if bouncing back to that form
4. MISS HONEYMOON – Seldom finishes far off the mark and is more than capable of getting into
the picture, though has no more than a place chance
5. NUIT FAUVE – Has limited means and nothing noteworthy to her name to warrant
inclusion/consideration. Can be ruled out
6. MISTER GOKEN – Has been struggling to find any form/consistency recently and needs to
reaffirm. Best watched for now
7. SOLVEIG FURY – Struggling to regain any form or spark the necessary improvement to be
competitive in a race of this nature, so is unlikely to trouble the judge
8. TREVOR SENORA – Did not go unnoticed, despite finishing 8th, over 2000m last time when
doing his best work late. On that evidence, this distance will be more to his liking with Maxime
Guyon engaged – respect
9. KALEOBAYANE – Unreliable but not incapable of getting into the picture judged on her best
references. Hard to trust but is as hard to rule out
10. SPRING EVE – Bounced back to form when staying on well to finish 6th at Le Mans in her last
start. Ought to be a factor
11. BELLE – Only recently joined Lucie Pontoir’s stable but is not incapable of pleasing her new
connections straight away
12. KOZACHKA – Has nothing noteworthy to her name for a considerable period now so can be
ruled out. Others preferred
13. STELLAR JAY – Has been disappointing this summer but, if judged on her form references,
remains capable of resurfacing in this grade/company
14. UCHRONIE – Confirmed the improvement of her previous outing (3rd) by finishing 2nd last time.
Warrants the utmost respect
15. STEALTHY STRIDE – Moderate filly with nothing noteworthy to her name to warrant any
consideration here so can be ruled out
16. MON ‘ EVEREST – Has looked distinctly ordinary for some time now, so his chances are limited
even at this level. Ignore
Summary : A wide-open handicap in which cases can be made for several runners. MEHGAWAY
(3), however, is worth chancing to break the ice, despite a wide draw, given that she tends to run
well for Perrine Cheyer whose 1,5kg allowance is handy in a race of this nature. TREVOR SENORA
(8) and SPRING EVE (10), although unreliable, both have the means to pose a threat, which could
also be said of last-start runner-up UCHRONIE (14) who has been resurgent in recent outings. ON
A SOUFFERT (1) and BELLE (11), on her stable debut after joining Lucie Pontoir, complete the
shortlist.

R9 – PRIX TENEBREUSE – 1500m (a7 1/2f) – TURF – Condition Race – Flat – EUR € 30.000
1. BEST MEMORY – Hubert de Nicolay-trained Dream Ahead debutante to be ridden by Ronan
Thomas. Dangerous to discount
2. PAMELA BOUM – Gianluca Bietolini-trained Recoletos debutante to be ridden by Rosario
Mangione. Best watched for now
3. OTHERWORDLY – Nicely bred filly whose dam is a sister to Group I Critérium International
winner at Saint-Cloud Roderic O’Connor,
4. EXCESSIVENESS – Glen Meury rides this Time Test filly on debut for trainer Mauricio DelcherSanchez. Best just to watch for now
5. MAKEMAKE – New Bay debutante with the champion Germance on her dam side. Cristian
Demuro rides for trainer Henri-Alex Pantall
6. ROCK’N SWING – Well-related Andre-Fabre trained filly whose brother, Richmond Avenue,
placed at Group level in America
7. PEMBA BAY – Well-related debutante whose grandmother is none other than the champion
Peeping Fawn. Her debut must be followed with keen interest
8. GLORIYAD’OR – Another Gianluca Bietolini-trained newcomer in the race. Augustin Madamet
rides this daughter of Goken
9. CHARLOTTE’S LUCK – Goken newcomer who, with Christophe Soumillon engaged, is not to
be underestimated. One to note on debut
10. HARMONY GREY – Well-related The Grey Gatsby filly who is a uterine sister to the well-known
Pedrito. Not one to be taken lightly
11. ZAMANIE – Bauyrzhan Murzabayev is a noteworthy jockey engagement aboard this Miroslav
Rulec-trained Zarak debutante
12. ETINCELLE – Victoria Head-trained Recoletos newcomer with Alexis Pouchin engaged to ride.
For the lovers of outsiders
Summary : A race for unraced two-year-old fillies. PEMBA BAY (7), a granddaughter of champion
Peeping Fawn, and ROCK’N SWING (6), from the formidable André Fabre stable, are potential
winners. They are preferred ahead of well-bred OTHERWORDLY (3) and Henri-Alex Pantall’s two
runners MAKEMAKE (5) and HARMONY GRAY (10), whose pedigrees suggest they too could be
run forward races on debut.

R10 – PRIX DE L’ABBAYE DES VAULX DE CERNAY – 2400m (a1 1/2m) – TURF – Divised Handicap – Flat – EUR € 25.000
1. WHYDAH GALLY – He is a maiden from five starts that has been well beaten and will find it
tough having to concede weight to the whole field. Others preferred
2. ISIS D’INOR – Comfortable maiden winner over further last time out but will need to prove that it
was no fluke. Improvement needed
3. ARCACHON – Followed up his win with a very encouraging performance finishing 4th fairly close
up over 2000m and remains open to improvement. Massive runner
4. WAY TO MARSEILLE – He hasn’t been seen at his best out the maidens but with a rating drop,
he could make some improve to get closer. Place chance
5. GOLDYWAY DE SAON – He is in a very good space at present and is running well. Finished
5th over 2000m last time out only half a length behind the top choice. Leading player
6. KELPIE – Last start winner getting that maiden out the way over 2500m and could still have more
to come despite dropping in trip. Can get involved in proceedings
7. DARADOUA – She ran a fair race after winning her maiden by finishing 5th over this trip and
there should be more to come from this individual. Each way chance
8. GIRASOLE – This filly is holding form very well following a 3rd place finish last time out and
should continue to improve. Include in the play
9. LIGHTNING LARA – Seems to be coming along with racing and is heading in the right direction.
Ran a good 2nd last time out and should confirm. Each way chance
10. ARMENTIERES – Remains a maiden after nine career starts but tries the trip for the first time
which could see her improve. Close up behind the top two last time out. Winning chance
11. LIGHTNING BOLT – He ran 5th at his most recent outing but was well beaten and needs to
start showing more in order to be competitive. Would be a surprise winner
12. ZILRAK – Maiden galloper from ten starts that is in good consistent form and could be a decent
value play from draw 1. Dark horse here
13. ESPERANCE – Well held back in 3rd over 2500m last time out and does seem to have her
work cut out but nonetheless could find a minor spot. Place chance at best
14. BAZEL – Showed huge improvement when stepped up in trip for the first time and will need to
confirm that to have a chance here. Others inspire more confidence
15. PEARL DOCTOR – Finished 2nd behind Kelpie at his last start but was well beaten and it would
be a surprise if he were to turn the form around. Others make more appeal
16. MOON DASH – Finished 5th over 2700m last time out and will need to do more to get involved
in proceedings. Easy to look elsewhere
17. DEMELZA – Recent form is poor and it’s hard to be confident on this individual in a race where
many hold claims. Would be a shock winner
Summary : ARCACHON (3) arrives here in good form and could show nice improvement in an
open contest. GOLDYWAY DE SAON (5) is doing a lot right currently and looks to have a big
chance on his form. ARMENTIERES (10) comes from the same form line as our top two selections
and she should be able to produce another positive effort. WAY TO MARSEILLE (4) has dropped
a few rating points and could start showing what he is capable of.

R11 – PRIX DU CHESNAY – 1400m (a7f) – TURF – Divised Handicap – Flat – EUR € 28.000
1. FIRST PAGE – Inconsistent colt that is hard to assess following below par efforts in his last three
starts. Needs to do more to get involved
2. MADAME DE SAXE – She is in fair form having finished in the money in her last two starts but
has questions to answer about the trip. Place chance
3. LEVANTE BREEZE – Got the maiden out the way at her last start and is another that has claims
at top honors. Each way chance
4. SADIA – Finished 6th over 1650m last time out which was disappointing given that she looked
to be coming along the right way and the drop back in trip could be ideal. Winning claims
5. ETERNEL – His recent form is uninspiring and the only thing that seems to be going for him at
present is his rating which has come down. More needed
6. QUARTZ ROSE – He finished 7th over 1400m last time out but has the type of form which will
see him running a competitive race. Include in the play
7. CHANEL GOLD – She has seemed to turned the corner off late and could certainly follow up on
her maiden success last time out which came over this trip. Strong claims
8. ROYALWOOD – In and out filly that won her maiden over 1200m last time out and will need to
prove that she is capable over 1400m. Others make more appeal
9. SUNY YINA – She arrives in career best form having won her last two starts and could have
more to come now with her confidence up. Upset type
10. LEOPARDUCCIO – He showed massive improvement to win over 1600m last time out and now
needs to confirm that effort. Easy to pass by
11. SYMBOLE – Ran a decent race last time out by finishing 4th over 1300m and could get closer
to the action over this distance. Solid claims
12. SEGERA – Has won twice from her last four outings and should be able to given a good account
of herself here. Each way chance
13. MRS PINK – Her first run this year was encouraging but she has gone in the opposite direction
ever since and lacks appeal. Would be a shock winner
Summary : SADIA (4) is no doubt better than her most recent performance and should bounce
back to her previous form. CHANEL GOLD (7) is on the right track and with the Arc winning jockey
engaged to ride, she should go well. QUARTZ ROSE (6) could put in a positive showing here.
SEGERA (12) is running very well and could add another win to her tally.
