1. DAMIEN – Impressed when winning a Handicap over 1400m at this track on the 18th of March
and can follow up. Strong each way chance
2. SHADIZI – Won three races back, finished 4th over 1400m at this venue on the 28th of March
and is a huge runner. Winning choice
3. ALABAMA MOON – Has been in Listed and Group races recently and drops in class now.
Quartet chance
4. FERRARI FEVER – Ignore last run when 6th, finished 4th over 1400m at Chantilly before that
and has a good chance here. Include in all bets
5. SAXON GIRL – Finished 4th over 1600m at this course on the 14th of March and could get a lot
closer. Quartet consideration but prefer others for the win
6. EXPERT ADVICE – Ran a good race last time when 2nd over 1500m on the 14th of March. An
outsider that has a small place chance
7. KING PATH – Finished 5th over 1200m in a Handicap at Fontainebleau on the 2nd of April and
can be expected to do better. Strong place chance
Summary: SHADIZI (2) races for the Aga Khan and already boasts some useful form. He was a
winner three starts back at Deauville and has run well since. He rates the one they all have to set
their sights on. Win choice. DAMIEN (1) won last time in Handicap class at this course and will
have to be taken very seriously. Strong each way claims. FERRARI FEVER (4) can be expected
to serve up way more than he did last time. Strong place chance. KINGH PATH (7) was far from
disgraced last time in Handicap class and can never be ignored from any betting calculations.
Chance.

R2 – PRIX DE LA SALLE DU SANGLIER – 1600m (a1m) – TURF – Maiden Race – Flat – EUR € 27,000
1. AGUALETO – Cracking effort last time when 2nd over 1600m at this venue on the 5th of March.
Lightly raced, improving and has a serious chance in this. Include and respect
2. OZAT – Two excellent seconds thus far and can go close again. Finished 2nd over 1600m at
Saint-Cloud on the 1st of April. Big runner
3. E BASTA LA – Will need to progress on latest 6th over 1600m at Saint-Cloud. Much prefer others
and can be ignored for now
4. AMERICAN LAWYER – Improved when 3rd over 1600m at this circuit on the 5th of March and
further improvement can be expected. Chance
5. CORMORAN – Attractive 2nd over 2000m at Strasbourg on the 22nd of March and with natural
improvement, can improve to get much closer. Chance
6. NO LUNCH – Maxime Guyon rides. Caught the eye on debut when 5th over 1600m at Chantilly
on the 28th of March. Good chance
7. GALAXIE VEGA – Presented a huge debut when 2nd over 1600m at this track on the 28th of
March and should be hard to beat. Strong win choice
8. VIVAWOOD – Showed encouraging improvement last time when 2nd over 1400m at Compiegne.
Has a solid place chance and is a must for all bets
9. JIL IS LUCKY – Will need to improve on debut 9th over 1800m at Croise-Laroche on the 22nd
of March. Others preferred for the win. Wait for better efforts
Summary: GALAXIE VEGA (7) runs for Godolphin and did them proud on debut by finishing
second. With that performance under the belt, she should be a hard horse to oppose. OZAT (2)
has shown plenty of spark in both his races thus far by finishing 2nd in both and can go one more.
He has strong claims in this, should the first pick fluff his lines. NO LUNCH (6) was not far off the
winner on debut and has plenty of scope to build on that and can get much closer. Strong place
chance. AGUALETO (1) is improving, should get it all right soon and has a bright chance. A must
for the quartet perms.

R3 – PRIX DU CHEMIN DES CLOS – 1900m (a1m1/4) – ALL WEATHER – Class 4 Divided Handicap – Flat – EUR € 15,000
1. ASPHODELE MIA – Won at Compiegne on the 13th of October last year and has been dismal
thereafter. Cannot be suggested with latest form. Ignore
2. PARFAITE MERILL – Won three starts back over 2700m in a Handicap at this course on the
16th of February but has been off form since. Can do way better. Good each way
3. PEYTON PLACE – Would be a surprise winner on latest form and recent 15th placing at
Deauville. Unlikely
4. SECRET GLORY – Placed 6th over 1900m at Chantilly on the 28th of March in a Handicap race
and can do a lot more this time. Good chance
5. MOASA – Finished 13th over 1600m in a weak Handicap last time and would be a shock winner.
Pass by
6. DIWAN SENORA – Placed 7th over 1900m in a Handicap on the 28th of March and more than
that is needed to threaten here. Pass by
7. NAMAR – Finished 6th over 2400m at Lyon La Soie last time and overall form is weak. Far prefer
others
8. NOT SO SILLY – Ran 9th over 2000m in a Handicap at Compiegne on the 16th of this month
and earlier form is weak. Needs serious improvement to trouble the judges
9. KIASTEP – Ignore last run when downfield, finished 3rd over 1700m at Pornichet just before that.
Worth considering for the bigger perms. Outside chance
10. MAX ZORIN – Finished 8th over 2100m at Vittel last time and efforts before that leave a lot to
be desired. An outsider that can be ignored
11. UN SOIR D’ORAGE – Last run is a concern when 10th at Pornichet over 2400m in March.
Nothing to get excited about before that either. Hard to fancy
12. ENJOY THE SILENCE – Won penultimate over 1900m at this course, followed up with a 7th
placing over 1600m, also, at this course. An outsider that could place
13. RIP – Is very hard to make a case for on current, dismal form. Finished 13th last time and would
be a shock winner. Pass by
14. LOVE THE STARS – Placed 5th over 1900m in a Handicap at Chantilly on the 28th of March
and needs to do a lot more to win this. Happy to ignore
15. SALERNO – Absolutely impossible to like on current form. Finished 10th way back last time
over 2150m at Lyon La Soie. No
16. ONCLE FERNAND – Finished 8th over 1900m at Chantilly last time and needs to do a lot more
to threaten here. Happy to ignore
17. WAYNE – Much better effort on the 28th of March at this venue over 1900m in a Handicap
when finishing 4th. A repeat of that will see him in the shake up again. Chance
Summary: PARFAITE MERILL (2) was a winner three races back, but has followed that up with
two very average performances. He can be forgiven for that and expected to serve up a lot better.
Each way claims. SECRET GLORY (4) is taking time to find the winners enclosure again but is
never far off the action. His last run was better when 6th over 1900m at this track. He can finish in
the money. WAYNE (17) ran a much better race last time and has to be considered for the quartet
bet again. Chance.

on the 14th of March 2024. Include in the play
2. SPRING HEART – Far from disgraced in 7th spot over 1400m at Chantilly in a divided handicap
on the 18th of March 2024. Can go well
3. ANIELSKA – Finished 10th over 1400m at Chantilly in a divided handicap on the 18th of March
2024. Easy to look elsewhere
4. GOOSEBUMPY – Finished 3rd over track/trip in a maiden contest on the 27th of October 2023.
Open to big improvement
5. MIELA – Comfortably beaten into 4th over 1600m in a maiden at Saint-Cloud on the 1st of April
2024. Would be a surprise winner
6. LEPSA – Finished in 5th spot over 1600m at Toulouse in a maiden on the 4th of March 2024.
Others make more appeal
7. MEISHO VELITE – Beaten out of sight in 9th position over 1600m at Saint-Cloud in a limited
handicap on the 7th of March 2024. Unlikely to feature
8. BELISE – Finished 4th over 1600m at Saint-Cloud in a Class 2 event on the 26th of March 2024.
Winning chance
9. ABIAT – Finished 3rd over 1300m at Chantilly in a maiden event on the 14th of March 2024.
Could place back up in trip
10. PATRICIA – Finished 5th over 1400m at Compiegne in a maiden contest on the 19th of March
2024. One to pass by
11. OVATION – Held in 6th spot over 1300m at Chantilly in a maiden race on the 14th of March
2024. Others make more appeal
Summary: SPRING HEART (2) went handicapping for the first time at her latest start and should
have more to offer in a race of this nature so needs to be taken seriously once again.
GOOSEBUMPY (4) returns off a layoff but should have a solid chance on her form shown prior to
the break. BELISE (8) was well held against stronger last time out but looks to have strong claims
in this company. ROSE OF THE CITY (1) drops in trip but warrants respect with her confidence up.

R5 – PRIX DU CHEMIN DES POISSONNIERS – 1900m (a1m1/4) – ALL WEATHER – Class 3 Divided Handicap – Flat – EUR € 20,000
1. GREAT CHARLIE – Finished 8th over 1800m in a Class 4 divided limited handicap at Lyon La
Soie on the 6th of April 2024. Doesn’t inspire much confidence
2. HARRISON POINT – Comfortable winner over 1800m at Lyon La Soie in a Class 4 divided limited
handicap on the 6th of April 2024. Can outrun his odds
3. AERION – Finished 9th over 1800m at Lyon La Soie in a Class 4 divided limited handicap on the
6th of April 2024. Others make more appeal
4. WHATEVER IT COSTS – Held in 7th spot over 1800m at Le Croise-Laroche in a Class 4 divided
limited handicap on the 22nd of March 2024. Easy to oppose
5. RONALDO – Solid effort in 4th position over track/trip in a Class 3 divided limited handicap on
the 28th of March 2024. Each way contender
6. JACKY – Well held in 10th position over 1900m at Deauville in a Class divided handicap on the
9th of April 2024. Unlikely to feature
7. THE FIRST LADY – Runner up over track/trip in a Class 3 divided limited handicap on the 28th
of March 2024. Big player
8. VESINABA – Finished 12th over track/trip in a Class 3 divided limited handicap on the 28th of
March 2024. Can bounce back
9. RAJA LUNA – Finished 2nd over 2100m at Parislongchamp in a Class 3 limited handicap on the
4th of May 2022. Most likely will need the run
10. REGINA LILLIE – Finished 5th over 2000m at Nancy in a Class 4 divided limited handicap on
the 4th of April 2024. More needed to feature
11. PERROU – Finished 5th over track/trip in a Class 3 divided limited handicap on the 28th of
March 2024. Place claims
12. OSER – Finished 3rd over 1900m in a Class 4 divided handicap at Deauville on the 9th of April
2024. Should pose a threat
13. DREAM AGAIN – Finished 2nd over track/trip in a Class 4 divided limited handicap on the 28th
of March 2024. Winning claims
14. WAY TO MARSEILLE – Poor effort in 11th over 2400m at Saint Cloud in a Class 3 divided
limited handicap on the 12th of April 2024. One to pass by
15. LOU BALICOT – Finished close up in 4th over track/trip in a Class 4 divided limited handicap
on the 28th of March 2024. Include in all bets
16. ZYGFRYD – Finished 4th over track/trip in a Class 4 divided limited handicap on the 9th of
December 2023. May need the outing
17. SOHO VICKY – Finished 9th over 2500m at Deauville in a Class 4 divided handicap on the 16th
of November 2023. Unlikely to pose a challenge
Summary: THE FIRST LADY (7) just found one too good last time out and could make amends in
what looks to be a competitive handicap. DREAM AGAIN (13) boasts similar form to the top pick
and should produce a big run. LOU BALICOT (15) finished just behind Dream Again but is capable
of reversing that form and needs to be included. RONALDO (5) wasn’t far behind The First Lady
and he too can turn the form around with a bit of luck in running.
