only improve for that win
6. VERMELHO – Unplaced last time, 3rd before that at Chantilly in a Class 2 race in mid-October
over 1500m. Has work to do
Summary: WELCOME CHARLY (2) won last month at Cagnes-Sur-Mer over 1600m in a maiden
beating a horse into second who franked the form by winning on its next run. He should take this
Class 2 race from likely main danger UM WADI (5) who won easily on her only run to date over
1700m at Pornichet in late December and can only improve. DARLINGHURST (1) will do his level
best to beat the likely front two at the head of the betting market.

WELCOME CHARLY (2) – UM WADI (5) – DARLINGHURST (1) – LORD OF WAR (3)
R2 – PRIX DE LA MER – 2000m (a1m 1/4) – ALL WEATHER – Maiden – Flat – EUR € 23,000
1. SHERAYAN – Ran with promise when 7th at Cagnes-Sur -Mer over 2000m 23 days ago in a
maiden. Can improve and feature

SHERAYAN (1) back in behind him that day. Can come forward and be involved
3. FOREVER GIVEN – 2nd in the race ahead of two rivals he meets again today at Cagnes-SurMer on January 27th on his debut. Player
4. NATURAL GIFT – 3rd at Cagnes-Sur-Mer over 2000m 18 days ago on her debut. She can step
forward from her debut and be involved
5. FILS DU MAITRE – Newcomer by Ruler Of The World, improvement can be expected from this
outing. Watch the betting for clues
6. TIME TRAIN – Newcomer by De Treville, should be better for this debut run. Any market interest
can be informative
7. DANCING QUEEN – Newcomer by Le Havre, the dam was a maiden. should improve for this
outing. Monitor the betting for clues
8. PALMAROLA – Newcomer by American Pharoah, has a taking profile and warrants respect.
The run should bring her forward and the betting market can guide
Summary: SHERAYAN (1) will be sharper for a run last month when he showed promise 23 days
ago over 2000m to be seventh. He will strip fitter today and is the selection in this maiden race.
VALZAK (2) will make the selection work hard for the win and looks like the main threat. He was
third in the same race last time. FOREVER GIVEN (3) was second in the same race ahead of both
rivals that re-oppose, he will have a say. NATURAL GIFT (4) heads the remainder.

SHERAYAN (1) – VALZAK (2) – FOREVER GIVEN (3) – NATURAL GIFT (4)
R3 – PRIX DES CHEVREFEUILLES – 1500m (a7f 1/2) – TURF – Class 3 – Flat – EUR € 18,000
1. IZASTEP – Two unplaced efforts recently, 2nd before that in a Class 1 race at Marseille Borely
on November 12th. Player
2. EL MEASTRO – Three unplaced runs of late, 2nd over 1600m in a Class 2 race before that in
September at Lyon Parilly. One to consider
3. INCLINATION – Won four starts ago over 2200m at Fontainebleau in mid-October in a maiden.
Off form of late and others make more sense
4. ONYXKA – Three unplaced runs of late, won over 1600m at La Teste before that in midSeptember in a handicap. Place chance
5. AGRI – Three unplaced runs recently, 4th at Chantilly before that over 1500m in a Class 2 race.
Needs to get back on track
6. MORE – Three poor runs of late, the latter over 1300m 8 days ago in a Class 3 handicap. Best
watched until recapturing her form
7. IVANOWITCH – Good form recently with a solid 3rd at Pau over 1600m in a Class 3 race in early
January. Leading chance
Summary: IVANOWITCH (7) has been progressive and is taking on rivals that have been racing
in better-class races of late, but he has been running well and is expected to score in this. IZASTEP
(1) arrives after a couple of below-par efforts in decent races. If emulating his second in a Class 1
race at Marseille Borely in November he can play a lead role. EL MEASTRO (2) and ONYXKA (4)
are both talented and ought to be thereabouts.

R4 – PRIX JEAN MASSARD – 1500m (a7f 1/2) – TURF – Claiming – Flat – EUR € 17,000
1. VODNIKOV – 3rd on the last two runs, and a winner before that at Saint-Cloud on November
10th over 1400m in a claiming race. Consider
2. ENORA SENORA – 6th on the only run so far over 2000m in late January at Cagnes- Sur-Mer
in a maiden. Needs a few to falter
3. FEVER – 5th last time in a maiden race 18 days ago over 1500m on her second run. Can improve
and ought to be thereabouts
4. MAKEMAKE – Unplaced last time, 3rd before that over 2150m in a maiden race on January
20th. Needs more and others preferred
5. VIVE LA REINE – Fair effort when 5th over 1600m 20 days ago in a claiming race. Can not be
discounted
6. REVERSO – Fair 5th in a Class 2 race over 1300m 8 days ago and credible form before that.
Drops into a claimer and should be too good
7. RUE MIA – 5th last time over 1500m in a claimer 12 days ago, 2nd three starts ago at Lyon
Parilly in a claimer over 1350m in mid-June. Outside place chance
Summary: REVERSO (6) should hold too many aces for his rivals in the claiming event. He has
been performing credibly in much stronger events of late. VIVE LA REINE (5) could be the one to
give the selection the most to think about. VODNIKOV (1) can have a say in proceedings after
some consistent form which includes a win in November of a claimer at Saint-Cloud. FEVER (3)
can only improve and drops in class after only two runs in maiden races.

Maxime Guyon retains the ride and can go close
4. KADIYAC – Finished 7th in a Handicap at this track over 1500m on the 7th of February. The

at best in this line up

the services of Manon Germain and should make a bold bid
8. BIRIATOU – Non-Runner

penultimate run effort was a 3rd at this track and can play a minor role

A very consistent sort who is seldom far off them and must be a runner again

Probably needed the e last effort after a break
Summary: A very open looking race. KADIYAC (4) looks lukely to improve on the recent runs and
gets a narrow vote to score. BELL SONG (7) was not disgraced when third last time out and can
do even better this time. DAMASK BLADE (3) was not disgraced when fifth in a handicap and is
not out of it against these rivals. GEOPOLITIC (10) is capable of better than the last run would
suggest and can contest the finish.

twenty-one starts and can improve

Summary: SHANAKILL (1) is in good heart and comes here off a handicap win. He got a 2kg
penalty for that win but clearly likes this course and can follow up. KING OF MEADOWS (8) was
not disgraced when third last time out and can contest the finish again. LA SAUZEE (5) has picked
off three handicaps in a row and deserves respect. ROCQUEMONT (3) did not show his best last
time out but can earn some money.
