1500m on 30 October. Returns from a break and can go one better

on 29 April. Should fight out the finish

race at Dieppe over 1800m on 13 May. Deserves respect

at ParisLongchamp over 2000m on 18 April. Big chance
8. BULLANT – A three-year-old gelding by Caravaggio out of Masaaqaat who is making his debut.
Watch the betting
Summary: BABAKOOL (7) has been supplemented for the race and the forms of his two previous runs
have been franked. That could be just enough to see him go off the mark this time around. HAWK
POWER (3) ran a better race than his placing shows in his last start in a competitive handicap and is
worth some serious consideration. MARTIN (1) returns from a lengthy break but the form of his debut
race is rock solid. SPEED FOR FUN (2) should have come on a lot from his first run.
SELECTIONS
BABAKOOL (7) – HAWK POWER (3) – MARTIN (1) – SPEED FOR FUN (2)
R2 – PRIX DE L’AILETTE – 2000m (a1m1/4) – TURF – Maiden Race – Flat – EUR € 27,000
1. LEMSAIRBAT – She was not disgraced when 6th on her debut in a Conditions race at Chantilly over
2100m on 29 April. Likely to improve and could make the frame
2. AQUILAE – Disappointing second run when 7th in a Conditions race at Fontainebleau over 2000m
on 30 April. Did better on debut and could play a minor role
3. RAPIDE – Ran well on debut when fourth but did not repeat it when 7th last time out in a Conditions
race at Fontainebleau over 1400m on 3 May. Could improve this longer distance
4. QUEENFLEUR – Improving slowly and was 5th last time out in a Conditions race at Chantilly over
2000m on 11 May. Could finish in the money
5. SAILAWAYWITHME – Gets closer to winning with each run and was runner-up last time out in a
Conditions race at Chantilly over 2000m on 11 May. Go close
6. LA VENEZZIA – Proved in need of her debut when 9th in a Conditions race at Chantilly over 2000m
on 11 May. Capable of improvement but others are preferred
7. AQUA AUGUSTA – Showed promise when third on debut last year and did even better when runnerup in a Conditions race at ParisLongchamp over 2200m on 5 May. Can go one better this time
8. IL MENITE – Has not shown much in her two starts and she was 7th last time out in a Conditions
race at Saint-Cloud over 2400m on 14 May. More is needed to win this race

May. Capable of improving this longer distance
10. MQSE DU BERGER – Much improved last run when fourth in a Conditions race at Chantilly over
2000m on 11 March. Can contest the finish again’
11. QUESTURA – Only found one better on her debut at Chantilly over 2100m on 29 April. She should
fight out the finish once again
12. FASHIONABLY – Ran well on her debut when fourth but she did not repeat it when 12th last time
out in a Conditions race at Le Croisé-Laroche over 1800m on 20 April. Might place
Summary: AQUA AUGUSTA (7) posted a very promising comeback run early May at Longchamp and
with the natural improvement, she will be very hard to beat today. QUESTURA (11) ran a creditable
second on debut at Chantilly at the end of April and is another one who has a solid chance in this lineup. SAILAWAYWITHME (5) has a progressive profile and it will not be long before she gets off the
mark. LEMSAIRBAT (1) did not get the best of run on debut and is worth another chance.

AQUA AUGUSTA (7) – QUESTURA (11) – SAILAWAYWITHME (5) – LEMSAIRBAT (1)
R3 – PRIX D’AMELIE – 2000m (a1m1/4) – TURF – Class 4 Claiming Handicap – Flat – EUR € 16,000
1. WAITARA – In good form of late and picked up a claimer win last time out at Dieppe over 2200m on
13 May. Capable of following up
2. L’INDOMPTABLE – At the top of her game and is hat-trick-seeking after two handicap wins, with the
latest being at Marseille-Borély over 2600m on 3 May. Big chance
3. CAP FAREWELL – Has been kept to the PSF for some time now and was 5th last time out in a
Claimer at Chantilly over 1900m on 7 May. Could play a minor role
4. MOWGLI – Has only been modest in his three starts this year and was 9th last time out in a Conditions
race at Saint-Cloud over 2100m on 6 May. Drops in class and could improve
5. BAIKAL – Struggling to regain best form and he was only 9th in his only start of this year in a claimer
at Dieppe over 2200m on 13 May. Needs to find a few lengths to win
6. REVENTADOR – In good form and was runner-up last time out in this division over this distance on
30 April. Can get involved with the finish once again
7. HERMEVILLE – Ran well on her debut when third but she did not repeat it in two runs since then and
was 6th last time out in a Conditions race at Saint-Brieuc over 1700m on 9 May. Can surprise dropped
to a claimer

2500m on 10 May. Needs to find a few lengths to win
11. PUERTA DEL SOL – Yet to win and was 5th last time out in this division at Dieppe over 2200m on
13 May. Can do better this time
Summary: WAITARA (1) won well at Dieppe in a similar contest and has been supplemented by her
new connections. She can follow up and is the selection ahead of veteran mare L’INDOMPTABLE (2)
who remains as game as ever at the age of nine. PUERTA DEL SOL (11) was well behind the selection
at Dieppe last time but she is much better off in the weight today and warrants some consideration.
HERMEVILLE (7) runs for the first time in a claimer and could surprise.

R4 – PRIX DE BETHISY SAINT-MARTIN – 1800m (a1m1/8) – TURF – Class 2 Race – Flat – EUR € 28,000
1. MIZ VEGA – Won on her debut last year and she probably needed her only start of this year when
5th in a Conditions race at Saint-Cloud over 1600m on 26 March. Can contest the finish
2. HOPIC – Only 7th on her debut in a Conditions race at ParisLongchamp over 2000m on 26 May.
Capable of improvement but others are preferred
3. AZILIA – Did all that was asked of her on debut when scoring a Conditions race at Le Pin au Haras
over 2100m on 21 April. Tackles stronger but deserves respect
4. BELSIANA – Unreliable and was third last time out in a Conditions race at Lyon-Parilly over 2200m
on 18 May. Place chance
5. ZANDY – Finished tenth and last when trying GR.1 Company last time out at ParisLongchampover
1600m on 1 October. Returns from a break but deserves the utmost respect
6. GOLIGHTLY – Improving and won her only start of the year, a Conditions race at ParisLongchamp
over 1600m on 18 April. Should fight out the finish
7. BLUSH – Probably better on the PSF and was 5th last time out in a Conditions race at Chantilly over
1900m on 7 May. Not out of it
Summary: The well related ZANDY (5) finished unplaced in the G.1 Prix Marcel Boussac in her last
start of 2023 and finds here a great spot for her seasonal debut. She should be a tough nut to crack.
MIZ VEGA (1) was well backed on her return to competition this year and could be worth another
chance. A winner of her only start this season, GOLIGHTLY (6) has more to offer. BLUSH (7) is not the
easiest to assess but she can pick up some prize money.

ZANDY (5) – MIZ VEGA (1) – GOLIGHTLY (6) – BLUSH (7)
R5 – PRIX DE FRANCIERES – 1400m (a7f) – TURF – Maiden Race – Flat – EUR € 27,000

at ParisLongchamp over 1850m on 5 May. More is needed to win

November. Returns from a break and is capable of improvement trying the turf
5. LA LANDONNE – Has been fair in two starts, including last time out when fourth in a Conditions race
at Fontainebleau over 1200m on 30 April. Could play a minor role once again
6. SALVA MEA – Very consistent so far and was third last time out in a Conditions race at Fontainebleau
over this distance on 3 May. Be right there at the finish once again

Capable of improvement but others are preferred
10. BONITA SUISSE – Finished 7th on debut in a Conditions race over this track and trip over this
course and distance on 19 March. Improvement is likely and could play a minor role
11. ONE MISTRESS – Very consistent and was third last time out in a Condition race at Fontainebleau
over 1200m on 30 April. Be right there once again
12. SULAYA – A three-year-old filly by Shalaa out of Salve Diana who is making her debut. Watch the
betting
Summary: SALVA MEA (6) has finished consistently in the thick of things and could register a much
deserved first career success after an excellent last run over the same trip at Fontainebleau. PINTA (8)
should be a lot smarter after a good first attempt at Saint-Cloud. ONE MISTRESS (11) will benefit from
the rise in trip and can be at the premises. LYCADA (7) is opened to progress and cannot be ruled out
for a place.

R6 – PRIX DE CHAVAGNAC – 1700m (a1m1/8) – TURF – Class 4 Divided Handicap – Flat – EUR € 17,000
1. EKTORIA – Good last effort when 2nd over 2000m in a Handicap at Marseille Borely and can go one
better. Big danger
2. BREIZH MOON – Won three races back, finished 6th last time over 1900m at Chantilly. More needed
for the win but can place
3. RED TORCH – Holding form, placed 4th over 1600m in a claiming race at Lyon Parilly on the 8th of
this month and must be respected. Good chance
4. SLEEPY SUZY – Solid form, never far off the action and can build on latest 5th at Vichy. Each way
chance
5. HEYTESBURY LANE – Knocking loudly at the door, finished 2nd over 2000m at Marseille Vivaux on
the 24th of May and is the confident first choice
6. GO LOVE – Last two runs were way below best and will need huge improvement to threaten against
these. Pass by
7. LOKI – Current form has been on the decline over various distances and needs improvement to
threaten. Happy to ignore
8. HAARICIA – Hard to fancy on recent dismal efforts and would be a shock winner. Prefer others
9. KHABESA – Will need to build on latest 6th over 1400m at Parislongchamp on the 12th in a Handicap
and can. Place claims
10. GUGUS DES BRIERES – Will need to improve on latest 6th over 1800m at Evreux in a Handicap
last month. Much prefer others
11. ORKAN – Lightly raced, not showing much, finished 16th over 2000m at Lyon Parilly last time. Hard
to like
12. FLORIDA SPRING – Would be a surprise winner as finished only 13th last time over 2600m at this
track. Unlikely. No
Summary: HEYTESBURY LANE (5) is knocking loudly at the door and looks cherry ripe for her next
career victory. She ran over 2000m at Marseille Vivaux last time out and is confidently selected to go
one better. EKTORIA (1) is a tad in and out but on very best form can be competitive in this field and
has to be respected. RED TORCH (3) has a strong place chance. He is holding form encouragingly
well. SLEEPY SUZY (4) is a natural inclusion for the quartet as is never far off the action.

R7 – PRIX DE LA CLAIRIERE DE L’ARMISTICE – 1400m (a7f) – TURF – Class 4 Claiming Handicap – Flat – EUR € 16,000
1. ATLANTIGO – Unreliable and was tenth last time out in a handicap at Tarbes over 1500m on 11
May. Capable of better and is not out of it
2. AINT MISBEHAVING – Has struggled in both starts this year and was 12th last time out in a
Conditions race at Dieppe over 1000m on 13 May. Best watched for now
3. PERMENTON – Showed some improvement when fourth last time out in a claimer at Le CroiséLaroche over 1100m on 19 May. Could play a minor role
4. ULTIMATE FIGHT – Has lost his way in his last four starts and was 9th last time out in a handicap at
Lyon-Parilly over 1600m on 8 May. Could upset on best form
5. BOW LANE – Has really struggled this year and was 11th last time out in a handicap at Chantilly
over 1600m on 17 May. Needs to find a few lengths to win
6. MALLORCA SUN – Has lost his way of late and was 12th last time out in a handicap at this course
over 1600m on 24 May. Capable of better and deserves respect
7. URI – On a very long losing run but is in good form and was fourth last time out in a handicap at
ParisLongchamp over this distance on 12 May. Big chance in this line-up
Summary: In a very open race, URI (7) is the most reliable candidate and could be the one to side with. MALLORCA SUN (6) has got a good draw and is well placed in the weight. He can bounce back and score. ATLANTIGO (1)’s last run at Tarbes is best to be forgotten. He has plenty of speed and should be well suited here. ULTIMATE FIGHT (4) is on a workable mark at present and can spring a surprise.

R8 – PRIX DE CORNILLON – 1700m (a1m1/8) – TURF – Class 4 Divided Handicap – Flat – EUR € 15,000
1. TO BE QUEEN – Good run in 3rd over 1600m at Chatillon on the 20th of this month and can place
again. Bright chance
2. TURTLE CHOPE – Solid form, finished 2nd over 1600m at Chatillon on the 20th of this month and
can go one better. Bright win chance
3. JOYEUSE DE ROMAY – Comes into the race fresh off a victory at Vichy over 1600m in Handicap
class. Serious chance
4. FOLLOW YOU – Ran way back in the field last time when 11th over 1500m and is hard to fancy on
that run alone. Unlikely. No
5. ZAVADREAM – Will need to progress on latest 6th place finish at Chatillon on the 20th of May to
threaten in this. Pass by
6. KARIBBEAN DREAM – In very attractive form, finished 2nd over 1600m at Carcassonne on the 12th
of May and can earn again. Good chance
7. PRINCE LOS – Disappointed last time when way downfield at Vichy over 1600m in a Handicap but
was a winner before that. Hard to assess
8. MAKHZEN – Taking time to win again, finished 5th over 1500m in a Handicap at Marseille Vivaux
last time and far prefer others. Pass by
9. EMPIRIC – Ignore last effort, placed 2nd over 1600m in a Handicap at Chantilly earlier this month
and is one for the shortlist
10. CHARM WRENS – She is a long time maiden but can progress off recent run when 7th at Vichy.
Will need to. Place chance
11. LILY APPLE – Finished a fair 4th over 1600m at Chatillon on the 20th of this month and has a
quartet chance again. Include
12. WAYNE – Placed 5th over 1900m at Chantilly on the 26th of April in Handicap class and is a likely
outsider that will have a small place chance
Summary: TURTLE CHOPE (2) is a 5 time winner and in very good form of late. She finished 2nd at
Chatillon last time at the races and is confidently selected to go one better. EMPIRIC (9) knows what
racing is all about and what it takes to win. He is a big danger to the first suggestion. JOYEUSE DE
ROMAY (3) won a tad cozily last time and could certainly record back-to-back victories. A must for all
bets. CHARM WRENS (10) is taking an age to win the maiden but can be expected to serve up more
than she has been recently. Place possibility.
