starts ago at Chantilly in a claimer in early March. VITESSE (2) is the one to go with from an
each-way angle having scored last time at Fontainebleau in April. WAY TO MARBELLA (7) looks

2200m. Can not be overlooked
6. LIKING – 3rd two runs ago at Saint-Cloud over 2000m in a handicap on April 5th. Ought to be
thereabouts
Summary: PEBBLESSHINYBRIGHT (1) won last time at Le Croise-Laroche on April 20th and
has every chance of scoring again today. LOST IN MUSIC (2) ran a pleading third last time and
could make his rivals work hard for success. LIKING (6) has shown that he likes this track and
was a decent third at this venue two starts ago in early April and can be involved at the business
end.
SELECTIONS
PEBBLESSHINYBRIGHT (1) – LOST IN MUSIC (2) – LIKING (6) – BATIAR (3)

1. BEL ARISTO – Three unplaced runs of late, 2nd before that at Angouleme over 2200m in a
Class 4 race on March 3rd. Can be involved
2. ONLY THE BRAVE – Three unplaced runs of late, 2nd before that over 2200m in a claimer on
October 20th. Has been highly tried of late and will be more at home in this company
3. PLAIN BEAU – Nice 3rd last time in a claimer at Evreux over 1800m on April 24th. Can not be
dismissed
4. ST JAMES PARK – 4th last time in a Class 1 race at Nantes on July 6th over 2400m. Down in
class and has an absence to overcome

work to do
6. HAVOC – 5th last time, 3rd before that at Montlucon over 2300m in a Class 4 race on April 1st.
Looks a key player
7. AKAGERA – Four unplaced runs of late, the latter over 1800m in a claimer at Evreux on April
24th. Looks out of form and is best watched
8. GATSBY GIRL – Four unplaced runs so far, the latter over 2200m on October 31st at
Halle(DEU). Opposable
Summary: HAVOC (6) could be the answer to this claimer. He has been running well of late
without a win but can make an impact in this type of race. PLAIN BEAU (3) faired well when third
last time and could be the biggest danger to the selection. ST JAMES PARK (4) has the best
form but has to overcome an absence of 10 months away from the track. If fit and anywhere near
his best form he can win. BEL ARISTO (1) is also worth a mention.

handicap on January 5th over 2500m. Needs to get back on track
3. INSIGNIA OF RANK – Three unplaced runs of late, won before that at Compiegne on March
10th in a Class 3 handicap. Can not be ruled out
4. NABUNGA – Two unplaced runs of late, 2nd before that over 2100m on the PSF on March
27th in a claimer. Looks vulnerable
5. SYLVER SAMBA – Five unplaced runs this year, the latter over 2000m at Lyon Parilly in a
Class 4 handicap on April 27th. Others preferred
6. RUUDJE – 4th last time at Nantes over 3100m in a Class 3 handicap, has won at this track

Class 3 handicap. Each way option
Summary: RUUDJE (6) is a previous course winner and ran well last time when fourth at Nimes
in a Class 3 handicap. He can get the job done ahead of ESTCOURT (7) who can bounce back
to form after a few unplaced efforts of late. The same can be said for LA YOMOGUINESS (10)
who has a few below-par efforts of late but is capable of being on the premises. JARDIN BLEU
(1) makes up the shortlist.

R5 – PRIX DES PYRENEES – 2000m (a1m1/4) – TURF – Divided Handicap – Flat – EUR € 25,000
1. MEHLANGO – Nice effort when 3rd over 2000m in a handicap at Chantilly on April 29th. Looks
a live contender
2. MARKER – Nice 2nd last time at Pau over 2000m on January 25th in a maiden race. Can
feature now in a handicap
3. BETTER TOMORROW – Has four unplaced runs so far, the latter in a handicap at Le Mans on
April 23rd over 1600m. Looks unlikely
4. STAR OF THE NIGHT – Won last time at Durtal over 2000m in a Class 3 race on April 21st.
Makes her handicap debut and can have a say
5. LA STRANEZZA – Two unplaced runs of late, 4th before that at Deauville on October 18th in a

March 26th in a maiden race. Pass over
12. FANTASTIC DEAL – 5th last time in a claimer at Compiegne on April 16th over 2000m.
Handicap debut and others preferred
Summary: MEHLANGO (1) has been shaping well without a win of late and looks like a key
player in this handicap. CHANAZ (7) could be the main threat having run a good second at
Chantilly in the race the selection was third in. Both old rivals can dominate the finish. MANOIR
(10) is one to include in all of the place bet permutations. MARKER (2) makes his handicap debut
and can not be ruled out of the frame.

claimer at Chantilly on March 5th. Place chance

in the shake-up

track on April 1st over 1600m. Place chance

24th. Looks of limited ability
10. KALI JEM – Unplaced on all four starts so far, the latter at Chantilly on April 4th over 2200m
in a claimer. Needs vast improvement to feature
11. PRINCE SHALAA – 4th last time over 1700m at Montlucon on April 28th in a Class 3 race.
Others rate higher
12. LEPANTO – Has several unplaced runs of late, the latter over 2400m in a handicap on the
PSF on April 6th. Out of form and best watched
Summary: TOUQUETOISE (2) scored at Auch last time in a Class 3 race by over two lengths
and can follow up from that. COLT PILOT (7) has yet to win but has been running with credit of
late. He can not be ruled out. TEA LEAF (1)has shown talent despite not troubling the judge in
four runs so far. She can make the top three at nice odds. SHARQANA (5) is also one to keep
safe and can be competitive.
