2024. Could follow up
2. DAY TRADER – Finished 3rd over 1900m at Chantilly in a divided handicap on the 28th of March
2024. Can run a huge race
3. LEXOVIENNE – Comfortably held in 6th spot over 2200m at Chantilly in a claimer on the 4th of
April 2024. Others make more appeal
4. CHINCHA ALTA – Finished 3rd over 2600m at Marseille Pont De Vivaux in a claimer on the 23rd
of March 2024. Winning chance
5. ORFEO – No type of run in 11th position over 1800m in a claimer at Compiegne on the 19th of
March 2204. Others preferred
6. SPEAKER NICKI – Poor performance when finishing 10th over 2200m at Fontainebleau in a
maiden on the 2nd of March 2024. Would be a surprise winner
7. LIYA CHOPE – Finished 9th over 1100m at Le-Croise-Laroche in a maiden on the 28th of
October 2023. Opposable
8. CARDINALE – Finished 5th over 2150m at Lyon La Soie in a claimer on the 24th of March 2024.
Outside place chance

April 2024. Can improve
10. BAAL HOWARD – Finished 4th over 2400m at Compiegne in a handicap on the 29th of March
2024. Place claims
Summary: CHINCHA ALTA (4) remains a maiden after eleven starts but may have just found the
ideal opening to get the job done and demands the utmost of respect. DAY TRADER (2) has been
consistent and gets his chance to break the ice at start number ten. MADGIC’M (1) showed massive
improvement when romping home to victory and could have more to offer. BAAL HOWARD (10)
improved at his last start and could earn a cheque.

CHINCHA ALTA (4) – DAY TRADER (2) – MADGIC’M (1) – BAAL HOWARD (10)
R2 – PRIX EGYPTBAND – 2500m (a1m1/2) – TURF – Maiden Race – Flat – EUR € 21,000
1. DSCHINGIS TOKEN – Finished 8th over 2400m at Saint-Cloud in a maiden on the 26th of March
2024. More to do to feature
2. WALD PRINCE – Finished 7th over 2400m at Saint-Cloud in a maiden on the 26th of March
2024. One to pass by
3. ESKANDANI – Ran 4th over 2400m at Pornichet in a maiden contest on the 27th of March 2024.
Strong winning chance
4. AARON – Finished a dismal 9th over 2150m at Lyon La Soie in a maiden on the 15th of March
2024. Would be a shock winner
5. AQUALISTA – Well beaten in 7th position over 2100m at Toulouse in a maiden on the 11th of
March 2204. Hard to recommend
6. FLORY DU NINIAN – Beaten by a huge margin in 8th position over 2000m at Strasbourg on the
22nd of March 2024. Would be a shock winner
7. QUE BELLA – Not at best when finishing 9th over 2000m at Chantilly in a maiden on the 30th of
March 2024. Should bounce back here
8. LADY CHATTERLEY – Far from disgraced on debut in 6th over 1900m at Chantilly in a maiden
on the 15th of February 2024. Can outrun odds
9. ZELICA – Finished 6th over 1950m in a maiden at Le Mans on the 11th of March 2024. open to
improvement over this trip
10. DADDY JOY – Dam was unraced and this gelding doesn’t stand out on paper so is likely to
come on with the run. Easy to look elsewhere
11. BIBBIENA – Dam was a maiden after twenty two outings but this filly hails from a yard that can
get them ready on debut. Follow the market
12. MASHORAS – Dam raced four times without any success but this filly could be forward enough
to earn a cheque on debut. Market will be our best guide
13. PAD PROBLEME – Dam raced fourteen times without any success and this filly could just need
a few runs before running a good race. Unlikely winner
14. LADY DES BLINS – Dam won three times on the flat from 2300m – 2900m but this filly is likely
to need the experience. One to pass by
Summary: ESKANDANI (3) has produced two solid efforts and this looks to be an ideal opportunity
for him to get his head in front and kickstart his career. QUE BELLA (7) showed up well on debut
and should be able to reproduce that effort here. BIBBIENA (11) and MASHORAS (12) are both
first timers that need to be monitored in the market.

R3 – PRIX DE COMPIEGNE – 2500m (a1m1/2) – TURF – Class 4 Race – Flat – EUR € 14,000
1. LOUNA CHOPE – Mostly moderate form of late and was 7th last time out in a claimer at Le
Croisé-Laroche over 2500m on 22 October. More is needed to win
2. CHECKPOINT CHARLIE – Unreliable and was well beaten last time out in a handicap at SaintCloud over 3000m on 26 March. Capable of better and deserves some respect
3. LOVEATFIRSTSIGHT – Showed improvement last time out when fourth in a Conditions race at
Lignières over 2400m on 31 March. Distance-suited and could do even better this time around
4. KIND OF MAGIC SOUL – Yet to win a race and was 10th last time out in a Conditions race at
Sablé-sur-Sarthe over 2850m on 22 October. Likely to need this run returning from a break
5. CANIAR DE LUXE – Clearly needed the last run when 9th in a handicap at Fontainebleau over
3000m on 15 March. Better this distance and could make the frame
6. PAD TRACAS – Returns from a lengthy break and was 8th last time out in Conditions race at
Craon over 3000m on 4 September 2022. Likely to need this run
7. MUNAADRAM – Disappointing last two runs and was 10th last time out in a handicap at
Pornichet-La Baule over 3100m on 21 February. Capable of winning when in the mood
8. SWEETEST THING – On a long losing run and was well beaten in a handicap last time out at
Compiegne over this distance. Did better in a claimer in the penultimate start and is not out of it
9. PEAKYANA – Disappointing last run when 10th in a Conditions race at Fontainebleau over
2600m on 2 April. Capable of improvement but others are preferred
10. EQUILLY – Returns from a break but did win latest start, a Conditions race at Le Lion-d’Angers
over 2400m on 25 July. Has a winning chance if fit
11. OZMA – Has not shown much in 4 starts and was 12th last time out in a handicap at SenonnesPouancé over 2100m on 23 March. Others are preferred
12. SUMMIT – Unreliable and was not disgraced when 5th last time out in a handicap at PornichetLa Baule over 2400m on 2 March. Not out of it
Summary: A weak race and anything is possible. LOVEATFIRSTSIGHT (3) is not reliable but did
run well last time out over this distance and could score if repeating that level of form. EQUILLY
(10) won nicely last time out but is returning from a break so her fitness will have to be taken on
trust. SWEETEST THING (8) is capable of winning but has not been at best of late. The same can
also be said of CHECKPOINT CHARLIE (2)

R4 – PRIX SICA BOY – 1900m (a1m1/4) – TURF – Class 4 Divided Handicap – Flat – EUR € 15,000
1. HEY MAN – Finished a well-beaten 8th on his reappearance over 1500m on heavy ground at
Saint-Cloud on 26 March. Will need to improve
2. KOULIKOFF – Inconsistent handicapper on the PSF but does have better references on the turf.
One to note in a race of this nature despite finishing 10th in a 1900m PSF handicap at Chantilly on
14 March
3. ATLANTICA – Unreliable veteran mare who is capable but has been inconsistent on both
surfaces. Finished 9th in a 1900m PSF handicap at Chantilly on 28 March
4. ZHIVAGO – Out of sorts and continues to drop in the weights/ratings as a result. Races off a
career-low mark after finishing 15th in a 2100m PSF handicap at Pornichet on 9 February
5. BELLA CIAO – Lightly raced filly with consistent references at a much lower level, including a
last-start 7th at Loudéac in a 2200m claimer on 1 April. Others preferred
6. KARYNIA – Won a 2000m PSF claimer at Cagnes in January nad has struggled (finished
unplaced) in all three subsequent outings under a 2kg penalty – was 8th in 2000m handicap at
Fontainebleau on 6 March. Can improve eased 1kg
7. COASTER – Consistent handicapper with sound references on both surfaces, though has been
hard to win with (only 1 win from 26 outings). Didn’t go unnoticed when finishing 5th in a 1700m
PSF handicap at Pornichet on 27 March
8. ROCHEUX – Ran on strongly to finish 3rd behind TRIPTAJIKA (9) in a handicap over 1800m at
Le Croisé-Laroche on 22 March
9. TRIPTAJIKA – Confirmed the improvement of her previous outing (4th) by finishing 2nd in an
1800m handicap on 22 March at Le Croisé-Laroche. Winning chance
10. SPINNING MIST – Consistent veteran mare with sound references/form credentials, including
a creditable 4th behind SEMEUR (11) and ahead of KAHOUNA (12) at Senonnes on 23 March
over 2100m
11. SEMEUR – Inconsistent veteran handicapper with sound references and whose
competitiveness at this level is beyond doubt. Disappointed (8th) in a 2400m handicap (heavy
ground) at Le Lion-d’Angers on 31 March – can do better
12. KAHOUNA – Consistent handicapper, though has been hard to win with (just 1 victory from 34
outings). Didn’t go unnoticed when finishing 5th over 2100m at Senonnes on 23 March
13. KENNYA – Unreliable veteran mare who is capable but has been inconsistent on both surfaces.
Finished 8th in a 2100m handicap at Senonnes-Pouancé on 23 March
14. THE FOOTMAN – A battling 29-start maiden who is hard to make a case for in a race of this
nature, despite finishing 6th on heavy ground in a 2000m handicap at Compiegne on 29 March
Summary: On a line through the form of their meeting on 22 March at Le Croisé-Laroche, runnerup that day TRIPTAJIKA (9) is the one to side with here having finished ahead of ROCHEUX (8).
However, SEMEUR (11), who was unable to express herself at Le Lion d’Angers recently, has the
means to join that fight for victory, along with stablemate SPINNING MIST (10) who ought to remain
competitive.

March. Might play a minor role

over 2000m on 16 March. Needs to do more to win this race
6. WOODWIND DAVIS – On a long losing run and was 10th last time out in a handicap at
Senonnes-Pouancé over 2100m on 23 March. Unreliable but can play a minor role
7. BANKSY – On a very long losing run but is in good form and was fourth last time out in a handicap
at Compiegne over 1400m on 19 March. Could contest the finish
8. MAKENO – A bit of a disappointment in his last two starts and was 7th last time out in a handicap
at Strasbourg over 1400m on 22 March. Capable of better and has a winning chance
9. PERLE D’IVOIRE – Very consistent last year and was third last time out in a handicap at Nantes
over 1600m on 6 July. Returns from a break but deserves some respect
10. BOKEN – Runner-up in two of last three starts including in a claimer last time out at PornichetLa Baule over 2400m on 8 December. Place chance returning from a break
11. KICK BOXING – Disappointing recent form and was 11th last time out in a handicap atNancy
over 3000m on 10 March, Others are preferred
12. CIRCO MASSIMO – On a very long losing run and was 5th last time out in a handicap at Le

14. NOBLE ANGEL – Unreliable but did show improvement when 5th last time out in a Conditions
race at Fontainebleau over 2200m on 15 March. Needs to find a few lengths to win
Summary: Third in this race last year, SALIES (1) remains on two good performances at Chantilly
and could bounce back to score. Fourth for his return on March 1st at Chantilly, TATOO (2) should
be fitter and can fight out the finish. Never seen over more than 1,800 meters, BANKSY (7) can be
a threat. MAKENO (8), is capable of better than the last two runs show and is not out of it and
deserves respect in this lucky last race.
