France Form Sheet – 12th January

Race Preview

R1 – PRIX DE MAZEROLLES – 1400m (a7f) – ALL WEATHER – Claiming Handicap – Flat – EUR € 12.000

1. TERANGA – Unplaced last time, 4th before that at Toulouse in a Class 4 race over 1200m in
early December. Has been placed at this track before and ought to be involved
2. O GRE DES SAISONS – Unplaced last time, 3rd before that over 1200m in a Class 4 handicap
in mid-November. Live chance
3. BEYOND MY DREAMS – Unplaced latest outing, won four runs back at Toulouse over 1200m
in a Class 4 handicap in late September. Can be on the premises
4. SPACE FORCE – Unplaced on the last two runs. 2nd before that over 1300m on the PSF at
Deauville in late November. Can feature
5. BIG RIVER – Has several unplaced efforts of late in mostly handicaps over 1300-1500m.
Capable on old form and can place at nice odds
6. SHANGRI LA – Three unplaced runs recently, 2nd before that over 1600m at Toulouse in late
September in a Class 4 handicap. Needs to get back on track
7. MISTER KOOL – 3rd three runs ago over 1400m in September, two poor runs of late and makes
limited appeal
8. RICHMOND – 5th last time over 1850m in a Class 4 handicap in late November. Others make
more sense
9. RIONEGRO – Fair effort when 4th at this track over 1600m in mid-December in Class 4 handicap.
Live chance
10. VERDINA – Unplaced several times of late, her last good run was in September when 2nd over
2000m in a Class 4 handicap. Needs to get back to form
11. IZAKAYA – Poor form of late with many unplaced efforts. Seems out of form and is one to avoid
12. MAMA JUANA – Two unplaced runs of late, 3rd before that at Agen in late November over
1850m in a Class 4 handicap. Opposable

Summary : O GRE DES SAISONS (2) is the tentative selection in a race where a large number of
the field have been out of form. SPACE FORCE (4) seems happy on the PSF and although he has
been out of the frame on the last two runs he can have a say in this. BEYOND MY DREAMS (3) is
one for the each-way backers to look at. TERANGA (1) has run well at this venue in the past and
is one to respect.

SELECTIONS
O GRE DES SAISONS (2) – SPACE FORCE (4) – BEYOND MY DREAMS (3) – TERANGA (1)

R2 – PRIX D’ARCANGUES – 2000m (a1 1/4m) – ALL WEATHER – A RECLAMER – Flat – EUR € 12.000

1. UGATZAI – Has won and been placed on his last four runs, consistent performer and is sure to
be involved
2. NASHVILLE – Unplaced in two runs, shaped well on debut when 5th at this track in December.
Merits consideration
3. LEGENDS BERE – Two unplaced runs so far, the latest effort was in a claiming race in early
December over 2000m. Opposable
4. MAGIC FALCON – 5th in a Class 2 last time at this track in December, won in September over
1600m in a maiden. Can score
5. SPEEDY RECORD – 4th at this track over 2000m 6 days ago in a Class 2 race and has placed
form before that. In the mix
6. MALA – Newcomer by Fas, should improve for this effort. Any market support should be
informative
7. MALINOVKA – 3rd last time and ran well when 3rd three runs ago in a Class 2 race over 1600m
in September. Can be competitive
8. LUCKY CHARM – Unplaced in the sole run to date in late October over 1900. Others rate higher
9. NOSS DEMRAUD – Three runs so far, has shown limited ability and the latest run over 2000m
at this track in December was uninspiring
10. BOJANGLES – Out of the frame on the only start over 1600m at this track on December 1st.
Can be overlooked
11. BELLA VICTORIA – Newcomer by Ruler Of The World, stable runners tend to improve for a
run or two. The betting market can be informative
12. JUBBAH – 6th last time over 1800m on the PSF in early December in a handicap. Among the
leading chances
13. HONTANAR – Four runs so far, 4th three runs ago at this track over 2000m in a maiden being
the best effort. Outside place chance
14. ALOVEMINE – Has shown moderate form since a promising debut when 2nd over 1400m in
June. Makes no appeal

Summary : MAGIC FALCON (4) ran well in a Class 2 race last time and she holds strong claims
of getting back in the winner’s enclosure. MALINOVKA (7) has also shown decent form in Class 2
races and warrants plenty of respect. UGATZAI (1) is usually involved at the business end and is
one to include in all of the place bet permutations. JUBBAH (12) is another to consider and ought
to be involved in the shake-up.

SELECTIONS
MAGIC FALCON (4) – MALINOVKA (7) – UGATZAI (1) – SPEEDY RECORD (5)

R3 – PRIX DU BEARN – 1600m (a1m) – ALL WEATHER – Handicap – Flat – EUR € 23.000

1. GREENWOOD – Won last time at this track over 1600m in late December. Ought to involved in
the finish
2. RISING UP – 3rd three starts ago in a Class 2 event over 1600m in mid-September. Poor run
last time and is best watched
3. PIANO MAN – Nice 4th last time at Toulouse over 1600m in early November. Capable of making
an impact
4. MAIMOUNA – 4th in a Class 2 race over 2000m 10 days ago at this track. Down in trip but has
won previously over this journey
5. DSCHINGIS GALI – 5th last time, 2nd before that at Angers over 1600m in late October in a
handicap. Others more likely
6. GOLDENSIM – 4th in a Class 3 race over 1500m 7 days ago at Deauville. Can make the top four
7. MURANO – 5th over 1600m at this venue in late December when last seen. Has dropped in the
ratings and can feature
8. SEGERA – Unplaced on the last two starts, 2nd before that over 1400m in a handicap in early
October. Looks competitive on form
9. LADIES LAW – 2nd two runs ago over 1600m at Toulouse in late November. Two most recent
runs at this track have been poor
10. LADY CAYAN – Unplaced in the last two runs, 4th before that over 1500m on her debut at
Tarbes. Makes limited appeal
11. ADELA – 3rd over 1700m at Pornichet in early December when last seen. Needs a few of these
to falter
12. GOOD VICTORY – 4th three runs ago in a claimer over 1525m in mid-June. Out of form and
can be avoided

Summary : PIANO MAN (3) has been in good form of late with a win two starts ago and a good
effort last time when fourth in early November. He gets the vote over SEGERA (8) who faired
reasonably well at this track on her latest start and should stay the 1600m journey today.
GREENWOOD (1) arrives full of confidence after a recent success at this track in December over
today’s trip. GOLDENSIM (6) is one for the each-way players to latch onto.

SELECTIONS
PIANO MAN (3) – SEGERA (8) – GREENWOOD (1) – GOLDENSIM (6)

R4 – PRIX BELLABRE – 1600m (a1m) – ALL WEATHER – Condition Race – Flat – EUR € 18.000

1. IT’S ALL A DREAM – 3rd last time, won before that at Chantilly in a Class 3 handicap over
1600m in early December. In the mix
2. MEMORY DREAM – Won last time on the PSF at Pornichet in early December over 1700m in a
Class 3 race. Ought to be thereabouts
3. ACCORD PARFAIT – Nice 2nd over 1900m in a Class 2 race when last seen in June at La Teste.
Consider
4. LARIS – Unplaced on the last two starts both of them at this track over 1600m. Not the most
reliable of late and is best watched
5. OXIANA – Won over 1500m when last seen in a claimer in mid-December. Has been placed at
this track before and is one to consider
6. MONTIGNY – Three unplaced runs of late all at this track, won before that in October over 1800m.
Out of form and looks vulnerable
7. BARBAGGIO – Two unplaced runs so far, the latter over 2000m at this track in December. Hard
to recommend
8. IVANOWITCH – Solid effort when 2nd in a Class 2 over 2000m at Chantilly when last seen in
April. Should be fit and ready to go
9. SUN KING – Unplaced on his debut on French soil in late October. Did win in 2022 when trained
in Ireland. Others preferred
10. ANOBE – 2nd three runs back over 2000m in a Class 2 race at Fontainebleau in March. Will
strip fitter for a recent spin in late December at this venue
11. ALPAN – 5th last time over 1900m in late December. Out of form and makes limited appeal
12. RAMIRIQUI – Four unplaced efforts of late, 2nd before that over 2200m in July. Might need to
be going over further

Summary : IVANOWITCH (8) should be fit enough for his return after a nine-month absence and
will be expected to make it a winning one. MEMORY DREAM (2) will have no fitness issues having
won at the start of December on the PSF at Pornichet over 1700m. He can give the selection the
most to do. ACCORD PARFAIT (3) has also been away from the track for a good while but showed
useful form last year. He can make the frame. IT’S ALL A DREAM (1) makes up the shortlist.

SELECTIONS
IVANOWITCH (8) – MEMORY DREAM (2) – ACCORD PARFAIT (3) – IT’S ALL A DREAM (1)
