France Form Sheet – 26th March
Race Preview
R1 – PRIX SAGARO – 3000m (a2m) – TURF – Class 2 Divided Handicap – Flat – EUR € 53,000
1. MOONWALK STEP – Two unplaced runs recently, 3rd before that over 3200m in a Class 3
handicap on February 7th. Has work to do
2. WUKHANN – Won a Class 2 handicap on March 16th at Saint-Cloud last time over 2400m.
Ought to be thereabouts
3. DECBOU – Four unplaced runs since a win over 3200m at Deauville in a Class 2 handicap on
August 22nd. Among the leading place chances
4. BEL ARISTO – 2nd two runs ago over 2200m at Angouleme in a Class 4 race on March 3rd.
Others more likely
5. PAPER TROPHY – Four unplaced runs of late, 3rd before that over 2800m on September 10th
and a win before that in late August at Pompadour. Place chance
6. BONAPARTE SIZING – Unplaced on the last two runs, 4th before that at Lyon Parilly over
3150m on November 9th. Hard to recommend
7. WINTERLAND – Won her last two races, the latter over 3200m in a Class 3 handicap on
January 21st. Live chance to get the hat-trick
8. CUNCERTO – 2nd at Saint-Cloud over 2400m in a Class 2 handicap on March 16th when last
seen. In the mix
9. TURANIA – Unplaced last time, won the two races before that, the latter a Class 3 handicap
over 3200m on February 26th. Needs to drop back down the handicap to feature
10. CANOUANN – Unplaced last time, won before that over 2700m at Chantilly on January 24th.
Likely to give another good account
11. FLUTE EN SOL – Won last time in a Class 3 handicap at Fontainebleau over 3000m on
March 2nd. Might find a few of these too smart
12. ROSETTA STONE – Won a Class 3 handicap last time over 3200m at Chantilly on February
9th. Can have presence felt
13. LA TEMPLIERE – 5th last time at Fontainebleau over 3000m on March 2nd was encouraging
having dropped in the weights, she can be involved
14. ANAGALLIS – Won a Class 3 race at Saint-Cloud last time on March 12th over 3000m.
Outside place chance
15. BLACK HAWK – Three unplaced runs of late, won before that over 3000m at Pornichet on
December 27th. Looks safely held 16. SHAMSABAD – 3rd last time in a Class 3 handicap over 2400m on March 16th. Unlikely to
trouble some of these
Summary: WINTERLAND (7) is the tentative selection in an open-looking handicap. She has
won her last two starts and her confidence will be high. She has the most to fear from
CANOUANN (10) who could have a good bit more to come and looks fairly treated despite a poor
show last time. CUNCERTO (8) is one to include in all of the place bet permutations having been
placed on his last three runs. LA TEMPLIERE (13) is only 0.5kg higher in the ratings than her last
win and can make the frame.
SELECTIONS
WINTERLAND (7) – CANOUANN (10) – CUNCERTO (8) – LA TEMPLIERE (13)
R2 – PRIX COMRADE – 1600m (a1m) – TURF – Class 2 – Flat – EUR € 28,000
1. TOSTADERO – Won on February 27th at Marseille Borely over 1800m when last seen on his
second start. Ought to be in the shake-up
2. NARKEZ – Won easily by 5.5L on his last run at Clairefontaine on October 20th over 1600m
when last seen. Can make presence felt
3. FOU FURIEUX – 3rd in a Class 2 race two runs ago on September 22nd over 1500m. Has
experience but others preferred
4. SUPERCOOLED – Won on debut and then was a good 3rd in a Class 2 race over 1500m on
October 12th at Chantilly. Has some top entries and sets the standard
5. KIARO – Won by 2.5L on his debut on March 7th at Saint-Cloud over 1600m and will improve a
good bit from that effort. Player
6. GEORGES VILLE – 4th last time on March 11th at Le Mans after a win on his debut over
1500m. Needs more in a better race
Summary: It is hard to choose between two promising horses in this competitive event, the
marginal vote goes to SUPERCOOLED (4) who won on debut and then ran a good third in a
Class 2 race at Chantilly last October. His main threat is NARKEZ (2) who won easily on his third
run last year and was then put away for the winter. KIARO (5) won well on debut this month and
is not to be overlooked. TOSTADERO (1) heads the remainder.
SELECTIONS
SUPERCOOLED (4) – NARKEZ (2) – KIARO (5) – TOSTADERO (1)
R3 – PRIX KIZIL KOURGAN – 1600m (a1m) – TURF – Class 2 – Flat – EUR € 28,000
1. MIZ VEGA – Won at Saint-Cloud over 1500m on the sole start on October 30th. Can improve
and be on the premises
2. GET TOGETHER – Won a handicap over 1500m last time on February 26th. Might find this a
step too far
3. CAVALLETTI – 5th in a group 3 last time, won before that at Chantilly on debut over 1200m on
July 10th. Player
4. BABETTE – Unplaced last two runs, 2nd before that at Saint-Cloud over 1500m in a Class 2
race on September 22nd. Has been below-par of late
5. AMORCITA – Won the last two runs, the latter in a Class 3 race over 1500m on February 21st.
More is needed to get the hat trick but ought to figure
6. BELISE – Won at Craon on the last run over 1650m on September 2nd. Others rate higher
7. HIT IT – Unplaced last time, won before that over 1500m at Saint-Cloud on September 8th. In
the mix
Summary: CAVALLETTI (3) will find this more to her liking than a Group 3 race she contested
last time. She won on debut and has plenty more to come. MIZ VEGA (1) is a danger having
scored on her sole start in late October by 2L at Saint-Cloud. She will be competitive as will HIT
IT (7) who should not be overlooked despite a below-par run last time. AMORCITA (5) looks best
of the remainder.
SELECTIONS
CAVALLETTI (3) – MIZ VEGA (1) – HIT IT (7) – AMORCITA (5)
R4 – PRIX MIRSKA – 2400m (a1m 1/2) – TURF – Maiden – Flat – EUR € 27,000
1. RAYBIYA – Two nice 3rd placed runs so far, the latter at Fontainebleau over 2200m on March
2nd. Can get the job done
2. GALIGERA – Nice 2nd on debut at Pont De Vivaux- Midi on March 14th over 2600m. Can
improve and play a lead role
3. DAME QUANT – Unplaced on both runs so far, the latter at Chantilly over 1900m on October
31st. Can improve for the step up in trip and ought to be involved
4. JUST THE GOOD WAY – Fair 6th on debut at Marseille Borely over 2000m on October 9th on
the only run so far. Others seem more likely
5. QUEEN OF KAHRAMAN – 7th at Chantilly on February 15th over 1900m on the sole run so
far. Might find this difficult
6. HEAREN – Two unplaced runs so far, the latter at Fontainebleau on March 2nd over 2200m.
Hard to fancy
7. TENTED CAMP – Newcomer by Shalaa, stable runners tend to need a run or two for
experience. The betting can be the best guide
8. MELODY ROYALE – Newcomer by Roman Candle, a respected trainer who will have this filly
nicely prepared. Monitor the betting for clues
9. WASABI – Newcomer by Soldier’s Call, from a top trainer who can ready one to strike on
debut. Can be involved
Summary: RAYBIYA (1) has shown promise in both of her runs so far when third. She should
like this trip and be too smart for her rivals. GALIGERA (2) was a decent second on her debut
and will have learned a lot from that run. She looks like the main threat to the selection. WASABI
(9) looks good on paper and will be expected to play a lead role on debut. DAME QUANT (3)
warrants respect and heads the remainder.
