Race Preview
R1 – PRIX DU CANTON D’ECOMMOY – 1100m (a5f1/2) – TURF – Class 3 Race – Flat – EUR € 23,000
1. WELLINGTON PREMIER – Managed a 6th over 1000m at Chantilly on debut on the 4th of
April and can improve to get closer this time. Small chance
2. MASTER FALCON – Is likely to be one of the longer shots on debut and might need a few runs
to tighten up. Much prefer others
3. SOLTAN GATSBY – A debutante by The Great Gatsby out of a mare called Delantera whom
was a one time winner. Include in the quartet perms
4. LA MOSCA – Attractive debut but followed that up with a disappointing 10th over 900m at
Saint-Cloud. Hard to assess and can be ignored for now
5. MIA WAVE – Caught the attention when 5th over 1100m at Lion D’Angers on the 31st of
March. Expect huge improvement. Good chance
6. DALENDA – Will need to improve on debut 7th over 1100m at Lion D’Angers in March. Others
preferred. Outside squeak
7. SHOPTILYOUDROP – Placed 5th on debut over 1000m at Lyon on the 17th of April. Expect
big improvement and a huge run
8. ADDICTION GAGNANTE – Could get into the money on debut. Watch the betting trends as
race time looms. By Lucky Team out of a Spirit One mare
9. DESERT ROSE – By Goken out of a Dabirsim mare called Africa. Maxime Guyon gets the ride
on debut and she is selected to win first up
10. KEY TO VICTORY – Is out of a mare that never won but is by Goken. She could be anything
and could make her presence known on debut. Watch
11. PEARL WOOD – A daughter of Birchwood out of a Enrique mare that could get into the action
on debut. Watch the betting for more of an idea
Summary: DESERT ROSE (9) makes her debut and could be absolutely anything. She is by
Goken out of a Dabirsim mare whom was a one time winner. She is selected to start off her
career on a winning note. KEY TO VICTORY (10) is also by Goken AND can certainly make her
presence felt first time on the job. ADDICTION GAGNANTE (8) is out of a mare that won two
races and she is by Lucky Team. Can place if not too inexperienced. SHOPTILYOUDROP (7)
caught the eye first time out when in fifth place and with natural improvement, can go close.

R2 – PRIX DU CANTON DE SAVIGNE-L’EVEQUE (PX S.C. DE LA CHARTRE-SUR-LE-LOIR) – 1600m (a1m) – TURF – Class 2 Race – Flat – EUR € 22,000
1. CLAVUS – Ignore last run, placed 2nd over 1900m at Chantilly in a Handicap before that and
has strong each way claims. Big runner
2. CONTENTIOUS SOUL – Ran a cracker on the 11th of March at Le Mans over 1400m finishing
3rd and has strong claims here. Good chance
3. LE JUSTICIER – Won on debut over 1600m at Royan on the 7th of April and can remain
unbeaten after this. Respect and include in all bets
4. UNE PEINTURE – Encouraging 3rd over 1350m at Lyon Parilly last time and can get closer
now. Strong place chance
5. QUASAR – Won well on debut over 1600m at Toulouse on the 20th of March and could end up
being anything. Can win again
6. GREY FIGHTER – Ignore last bad run, was a winner over 1600m at Lyon Parilly before that.
Each way chance
7. LOVECAYAN – Won over 1700m at Pornichet on the 27th of March and might be able to follow
up. An outsider with a chance
8. PANAREA – Won on debut but both runs since, have been way below best. Needs to improve
before being selected. Pass by
9. ADRETT – Finished 7th over 1900m at Chantilly which was the local debut. Plenty more
needed to threaten here. Pass by
10. DARI RIVER – Won penultimate, finished 2nd over 1600m at Chantilly on the 23rd of
February and rates the one to beat. Strong win
Summary: DARI RIVER (10) was a winner at the second time of asking. Her last run when
second at Chantilly was excellent and she is clearly talented. She rates the one they all have to
beat. CLAVUS (1) can be forgiven for his last run when downfield in a tough Handicap. Ignore
that, expect better, strong each way chance. CONTENTIOUS SOUL (2) has solid overall form, is
showing talent and is a serious runner here. QUASAR (5) was a winner on debut in March and
could go on to way better and bigger things. A must for all bets.

R3 – PRIX DU CANTON DE LA-FLECHE – 1600m (a1m) – TURF – Handicap – Flat – EUR € 20,000
1. GRAND CITY – Needs to build on recent 9th at Pornichet but has claims on very best form to
date. Chance
2. BETTER TOMORROW – Needs serious improvement to threaten here and far prefer others.
Pass by
3. CLASH ROYALE – Comes into the race fresh off a victory at Parislongchamp over 1850m in a
Handicap and can follow up. An outsider with claims
4. CITY OF GOLD – Ignore last run when 9th. Won over 1350m before that at Senonnes and
must be taken very seriously. Bright chance
5. BANKIER – Chance on penultimate 4th over 1600m in a stiff Handicap at Saint-Cloud on the
10th of October last year. Might need the run, if not, good chance
6. ON BORROWED TIME – Can start building on local form but will need to. Placed 6th in a
claiming race at Compiegne in March. More needed
7. GRAN HABANO – Excellent 2nd at Compiegne over 1600m on the 29th of March in Handicap
class and rates tough to beat. Win
8. REDPEARL – Cracking last run when 2nd over 1350m at Senonnes on the 23rd of March.
Should be right there at the finish. Each way claims
9. ELKABIER – Much better 4th over 1300m at Chantilly in a Handicap on the 30th of March and
based on that, has to be respected. Place claims
10. STELLANIA – Has not shone in three starts thus far and would be a shock winner. Ignore
11. SUBLIME CHOPE – Ignore last run when 11th, finished 4th over 1600m in a Handicap at
Compiegne on the 29th of March. An outsider that could place
12. SANTO – Needs to progress on latest 5th over 1600m at Compiegne and far prefer others for
the shortlist. Unlikely today
13. DO IT FOR ME – Placed 5th over 1700m in a claimer race on the 14th of April. Much more
needed to threaten. Pass by
Summary: GRAN HABANO (7) ran the best race of his career last time when 2nd over 1600m at
Compiegne in a Handicap and looks cherry ripe to go one more and win. RED PEARL (8) is
improving each and every time he goes to the race course. His last run was particularly
encouraging when 2nd at Senonnes. He is a massive runner and has strong each way claims.
CITY OF GOLD (4) is a tad erratic but can be given serious consideration for the place positions.
ELKABIER (9) ran a much better race last time and is a must for the quartet.

R4 – PRIX DE LA SOCIETE DES COURSES DE CHATEAU-DU-LOIR – 2300m (a1m1/2) – TURF – Newcomers Race – Flat – EUR € 21,000
1. ILLUSION MACHINE – A son of Shalaa that more than likely will need the run on debut. Watch
the betting. Prefer others for today
2. COLGAN SENORA – Son of Anodin out of a My Risk mare. Good chance
3. JUSTICE ROLL – A son of Churchill out of a Monsun mare that could be very forward and run
close on debut. Big runner
4. LAUTREC BLAGNY – A first timer by Motivator that is better to see if receives any betting
support. Happy to ignore for today
5. GO MISTY – A son of Goken out of a mare called Misty Solitude whom was by Sea The Stars.
Check the betting before taking bets but could be competitive first up
6. BUBBLE MANSUR – A son of Almanzor out of a mare that never raced. Hard to assess and
may need this run. Happy to watch
7. LERFAL – Daughter of Sea The Moon that might need a run or two to learn what racing is all
about. Others preferred
8. DJHANSY – Daughter of No Risk At All that more than likely will need a few runs to tighten up.
Small, outside place chance. Check the betting
9. MAGNETICQUEEN – Daughter of Masar out of a Sulamani mare. Watch the betting trends as
race time gets closer. Good chance
10. LADY KYRA – A daughter of Intello that could make her presence felt on debut. Watch the
betting but might be worth including in all bets
11. DONA PEJITA – A filly by Anodin out off a Mizzen Mast mare that was lightly raced but won
once. Could be anything. Rates a chance
Summary: JUSTICE ROLL (3) is by Churchill out of a Monsun mare called Harbour Of Hope
whom won four races. Watch the betting as race time nears but he could be good enough to win
on debut. MAGNETICQUEEN (9) is a filly by Masar that could be in the shake up first time at the
races and can never be dismissed from any betting permutations. LADY KYRA (10) is a daughter
of Intello out of a Kitten’s Joy mare. She could be right there first time at school. Each way
chance. Watch the betting trends. DONA PEJITA (11) could fill a quartet position. Include.

1. MONACO RULES – Unplaced last time, won before that over 2000m at Toulouse on March 4th
in a Class 3 race. Merits consideration
2. LILI BLUE – Three unplaced runs of late, won before that over 2500m at Saint-Cloud on
October 22nd in a Class 2 handicap. Needs to get back on track
3. GALLANT DEED – Won last time over 2000m at Lyon Parilly on March 17th in a Class 3
handicap. Outside place chance
4. KALEO PALACE – Credible 2nd at Deauville on January 26th in a Class 2 handicap over
2500m. Each way chance
5. DESIRE FOR EVER – Won her last two races, the latter at Nantes over 3100m in a Class 3
handicap on April 6th. Might find a few of these too smart
6. SALT FLAKE – 5th last time, won before that over 2400m on September 1st in a handicap.
Others make more appeal
7. CHELSEA DU NINIAN – 5th last time over 2300m in a Class 3 handicap at Senonnes on
March 23rd. Can make the frame
8. SAAM – Two unplaced runs of late, 3rd before that over 2800m at Parislongchamp on October
29th in a Class 2 race. Opposable
9. CLAY – Four unplaced runs of late, won before that over 2150m at Lyon La Soie on November
22nd. Hard to recommend
10. LAKISSIMO – Unplaced last time, 2nd before that over 2100m in a claimer at Chantilly on
February 17th. Unlikely
11. MORISOT – 4th at Chantilly in a Class 3 handicap over 2400m last time on April 4th. Capable
of making an impact
12. PANJAMAN – Decent 3rd last time in a Class 3 handicap at Saint-Cloud on April 1st over
2000m. Live contender
13. KER STORMY – 3rd last time on April 6th over 3100m in a Class 3 handicap at Nantes. Can
play a lead role at the finish
14. LE HOYO – Fair 4th in a Class 3 handicap at Angers on April 10th over 3000m when last
seen. Among the leading chances
Summary: This might go the way of KER STORMY (13) who is at the foot of the handicap and
was a good third last time at Nantes earlier this month. PANJAMAN (12) is also racing off a nice
weight and did well when third at Saint-Cloud 22 days ago. He looks like the main danger to the
selection. LE HOYO (14) and KALEO PALACE (4) are both live candidates for the each-way
backers to look at.

R6 – PRIX DU CANTON DE SABLE-SUR-SARTHE – 1400m (a7f) – TURF – Maiden Race – Flat – EUR € 21,000
1. WASSERFARBE – Nice 2nd at Pornichet last time over 1700m on March 27th. Looks to be
improving and holds a live chance
2. FALCON SPIRIT – Unplaced on the sole run to date over 1600m at Chantilly on March 28th.
Hard to recommend
3. PIANO BAR – Ran well when 2nd in a Class 2 race at Deauville on his debut on December
20th over 1900m. In the mix
4. DA VINCI – Nice 4th on the sole run to date over 1500m at Deauville on November 15th. Can
improve from that effort and be on the premises
5. FEE DU VIVIEN – 7th on her debut run at Fontainebleau over 1800m on April 13th. Quick
return to the track and open to improvement
6. LOVE RUSH – 6th at Chantilly over 1600m on March 28th at Chantilly. Needs a good deal of
improvement to feature
7. PRINCESSE BOBBY – 2nd last time at Nancy over 1400m on September 17th in a maiden.
Return run off a 7 month break and ought to be in the shake-up
8. GRAPPA – Unplaced last time, 2nd before that at Angers over 1600m on October 27th. Others
preferred
9. ATLANTIC WAYS – 5th last time, but a couple of good runs before that with a decent 3rd at
Saint-Cloud on September 8th over 1500m. Can play a lead role
10. GUERRIER MYSTERE – Newcomer by Profitable, could improve for this opening run. The
betting can be the best guide
11. DAL PRATO – Newcomer by Bated Breath, the dam won at Listed Class. One to watch in the
betting for any support
12. AWI – Unraced colt by Dubawi, the dam won a Group 3 race over 1800m. From a leading
stable and warrants respect
13. HATFAVILLE – Newcomer by Al Wukair, likely to be in need of this outing and is one to watch
in the betting for any support
14. INTELMAH – Newcomer by Intello, the dam won three time on the flat. Should improve for
this debut run. Monitor the betting for clues
15. BURROWS BIRCH – Newcomer by Birchwood, from a respected trainer who will have this
filly well-tuned. The betting can be informative
Summary: ATLANTIC WAYS (9) looked like she needed her run in March when she was fifth.
She showed plenty of talent last year and is taken to get off the mark in an open maiden. Her
main rival could be WASSERFARBE (1) who seems to be getting better with race experience.
AWI (12) has a taking profile and is from the Fabre powerhouse. He can be well-prepared and is
one to watch in the betting market. DA VINCI (4) is also one to keep safe.

R7 – PRIX DU CANTON DE LA-SUZE-SUR-SARTHE – 3200m (a2m) – TURF – Maiden Race – Flat – EUR € 13,000
1. ROYALOR – Unplaced on the last two runs, 3rd before that over 3000m on August 6th in a
Class 3 race. Place chance
2. LES FEUXGRETS – 5th last time over 2950m at Machecoul on February 25th in a Class 4
race. Needs a few to falter
3. SITJAR – 3rd on the sole run so far over 2600m in a Class 4 race at Morlaix on March 24th.
Can improve and ought to be in the shake-up
4. IDATEN – Ran well when 2nd at Fontainebleau on April 2nd over 2600m last time. Leading
contender
5. FOLLOW TO FOLLOW – Two unplaced runs over hurdles of late, ran 3rd on his debut on the
flat over 2400m at Beaupreau in late August. Consider
6. LOU MARINA – Unplaced last time, 2nd before that on debut over 2400m at Pornichet on
March 27th. Outside place chance
7. ANONG – Unplaced on the last three runs, two of them over hurdles, 3rd before that over
hurdles at Angers on November 26th. Place chance
8. MACHO BORIS – Makes his flat debut, won over hurdles at Auteuil on October 15th three runs
ago over 3900m. Others preferred
9. QUEEN ZARA – Nice 3rd last time over 2600m at Fontainebleau on April 2nd. Lightly raced
and has more to come
10. L’AUTORITE – Three unplaced runs recently, 3rd before that over 3000m at Dieppe on June
16th. Makes limited appeal
11. MAZOURKA – Has several unplaced runs since a debut 2nd at Dieppe on May 6th over
3000m. Needs to get back on track
12. DIORA STREET – 5th last time over 2950m at Machecoul on February 25th in a maiden race.
Others more likely
13. PENSE A MOI – Three unplaced runs so far, the latter over 2100m at Senonnes on April 14th.
Hardly inspiring
14. KORA NORDIK – Three unplaced runs of late, 4th before that at Pornichet over 3100m on
December 1st. Hard to fancy
15. AIGRETTE – Unplaced on the last two runs, one of them over hurdles. 3rd at Compiegne on
August 30th over 2800m in a handicap. Can be competitive
Summary: QUEEN ZARA (9) ran well when third at Fontainebleau over 2600m last time and
holds strong claims for getting her head in front. She had IDATEN (4) ahead of her in that race
and he looks like the main danger. AIGRETTE (15) was a decent third last August at Compiegne
and can feature. ROYALOR (1) has fluffed his lines on the last two outings but was a good third
before that in a Class 3 race last summer and looks like the best each-way option.

1. ZAYA DE LA PLATA – Has six unplaced runs since a win over 1400m at Pau on October 25th
in a Class 3 handicap. Out of form and is best watched for now
2. WOFF – Three unplaced runs of late, won before that over 1600m in a Class 3 handicap on
January 29th. Has work to do
3. SAKURA GLITTERS – Won the last two runs, the latter over 1800m at Le Croise Laroche in a
Class 4 race on March 22nd. Form pick
4. VIOU – Unplaced last time, won before that over 1300m at Deauville in a Class 3 handicap on
February 2nd. Can place at nice odds
5. LIGHT WAKEUP – Four unplaced runs recently, won before that over 1400m at this track on
October 24th in a Class 3 handicap. Outside place chance
6. KILFRUSH MEMORIES – Won the last two races, the latest over 1400m in a Class 3 handicap
on March 31st. Knows how to win and is one to keep safe
7. PUERTO MADERO – Good 2nd last time at Saint-Cloud over 1400m in a Class 3 race on April
5th. Leading chance
8. STRAKO – Unplaced on the last two runs, won before that at Chantilly over 1500m in a claimer
on February 24th. Can be involved
9. FAMOSO – Two unplaced runs of late, won before that at Tarbes over 1500m in a maiden race
on October 14th. Inconsistent
10. NOCE D’OR – 3rd last time over 1600m at Royan in a Class 4 race on April 7th. Ought to be
involved in the shake-up
11. MY UNIVERSE – Has several unplaced runs since a win at Saint-Cloud over 1600m in a
handicap on March 23rd 2023. Makes limited sense

race on October 14th. Has to get back on track
13. SIMPLY LOVELY – Unplaced on the last two runs, 3rd before that on December 29th, 2022
over 1300m. Place chance
14. ANOBE – Won the last two runs, the latest over 1600m at Royan in a Class 4 race on April
7th. Each way angle
15. MR DREAMER – Three unplaced runs of late, 3rd before that over 1600m at Vichy on August
23rd in a handicap. Looks vulnerable
Summary: PUERTO MADERO (7) looks like the best option in this handicap after a pleasing
second-placed run at Saint-Cloud earlier this month. SAKURA GLITTERS (3) has been in top
shape scoring on her last two runs and she can once again be competitive. ANOBE (14) is also a
two-time scorer on his last two runs and is still at the foot of the handicap. He can make the top
four. SIMPLY LOVELY (13) looks best of the remainder.
