France Form Sheet – 9th June
Race Preview
R1 – PRIX DU COURGEON – 1400m (a7f) – TURF – Maiden Race – Flat – EUR € 21,000
1. ENSYAABY – 5th over 1300m at Deauville on the only run to date on November 28th. Should
be fit enough to have a say
2. BROTHERS OF LILY’S – Three unplaced runs of late, the latter over 1400m at Compiegne on
May 24th. Looks vulnerable
3. WINNING FORMULA – Unplaced on the last two runs, 3rd before that over 1800m at Chantilly
in a maiden on September 13th. Can make the top three
4. GUERRIER MYSTERE – 6th last time on his second run over 1400m at Le Mans on May 15th.
Hard to fancy
5. RAPAX – 3rd on the sole run so far at Deauville on November 15th over 1500m. Should be fit
enough to be competitive
6. KEW BRIDGE – Nice 4th last time over 1400m in a maiden on May 3rd. Can improve from that
effort and is worth considering
7. CHEVELLE – Unplaced last time, 2nd before that over 1800m on the PSF on November 22nd.
Might find a few of these too smart
8. PRINCESSE BOBBY – 3rd last time over 1400m at Le Mans on April 23rd. Others seem more
likely
9. SPRING BEAUTY – Two unplaced runs so far, the latter at Le Mans over 1400m on May 15th.
Has shown some talent and has place claims at attractive odds
10. LYCADA – Nice 5th on debut over 1600m at Saint-Cloud on May 6th. Will improve from that
and has a leading chance
11. TWIN DREAM – Unplaced on the sole run in October 2023 over 1350m in a maiden race. Will
likely be in need of this return run
12. CHIVERE – 2nd on her last two runs, the latter at Compiegne over 1400m on May 24th. Can
not be dismissed
13. GALIMATIA – Two unplaced runs so far, the latter over 1650m on April 28th. Needs a few of
these to falter
14. STRANGE LIGHT – Newcomer by City Light, stable runners warrant respect on debut. Any
market support should be noted
Summary: LYCADA (10) showed plenty of ability on her sole run to date at Saint-Cloud last month
when finishing fifth. She will strip fitter for that run and can make a strong claim for success. Her
main threat could be CHIVERE (12) who has been second on her last two starts and has done little
wrong on either run. WINNING FORMULA (3) is much better than the two latest runs and is one to
keep safe. KEW BRIDGE (6) heads the remainder.

R2 – PRIX DU CONSEIL DEPARTEMENTAL DU MAINE-ET-LOIRE – 2000m (a1m1/4) – TURF – Class 4 Divided Handicap – Flat – EUR € 15,000
1. COSQUER VRAS – 3rd last time over 2250m at Niort in a Class 4 race on May 26th. Should be
fitter for that run and can have a say
2. KIM DE GAUDEL – 5th two runs ago over 1600m at Nantes in a Class 4 handicap on April 18th.
Capable of a bold show
3. MARANADO – Did well when 3rd in a Class 4 race last time over 1800m at Morlaix on May 12th.
Player
4. THE FIRST LADY – 4th three runs ago over 1900m at Chantilly on April 26th in a Class 3
handicap. Hard to dismiss
5. MINO PICO – Four unplaced runs since a win on the OSF over 1700m in a Class 4 race on
December 1st. Can be overlooked
6. JANISA BERE – Has been placed on her last five runs, 3rd on the last one over 2100m in a
Class 4 race on December 27th. Ought to be thereabouts
7. MONDAINAI – Has shown limited ability in all of his runs apart from a 4th on debut in November
2022 over 1600m. Hard to recommend
8. RAISE THE STAKES – 4th three runs ago over 1700m on the PSF on March 27th in a Class 4
handicap. Looks vulnerable
9. GUADALEST – 6th last time over 2200m at Nantes in a Class 4 handicap on May 30th. Place
chance
10. PIPER’S HILL – 4th two runs ago over 1800m in a Class 4 race on May 20th is the best of most
recent form. Hardly inspiring
11. LE GARDOLOT – Has five unplaced runs of late, 3rd before that in a Class 4 handicap on the
PSF on October 2nd. Look elsewhere
12. BALINA GARY – 5th last time over 2250m at Niort in a Class 4 race on May 26th. Has won one
race from 23 runs and is not reliable
13. SUNBEAM – Has shown limited ability of late, well beaten at Loudeac over 2200m in a Class 4
race on May 11th when last seen. Looks out of form and hard to fancy
14. MARASTAR – 5th last time over 1800m in a Class 4 race at Morlaix on May 12th. Has dropped
in the weights and can make the frame
15. JULDIKO – Has won no races from 17 runs, the latest poor effort was over 1800m on April 24th
in a Class 4 race. Avoid
16. LE GITAN – 3rd last time over 1600m at Nantes in a Class 4 race on May 30th. Needs more
consistency
Summary: MARANADO (3) is worth taking a chance on in a handicap where a large portion of the
field have been out of form. He was a pleasing third last time and is sure to run well. KIM DE
GAUDEL (2) has eased in the ratings and was a credible fifth two starts ago at Nantes and can
make the selection work hard. JANISA BERE (6) is one to side with and include in all of the place
bet permutations. COSQUER VRAS (1) can make the top four despite top-weight.

1. LE DUC – Won three runs ago over 2200m in a Class 4 race on May 28th at Rostrenen. Needs
to ease in the handicap a few kilos
2. QUICK FLASH – Has eased in the ratings, well beaten at La Teste on May 17th over 3000m last
time. Looks out of form at the moment
3. RADETSKY MARSCH – Good 3rd two runs ago over 1900m at Chantilly in a Class 4 race on
May 17th. Ought to play a lead role
4. PLOTINUS – Unplaced on the last three runs, won before that at Le Mans over 1950m on March
11th. Has outside place claims
5. FLAMBOYANTE – Nice win last time at Le Mans over 1950m in a Class 4 handicap on May
15th. Can make presence felt
6. DRIP – 4th two runs ago over 2300m at Angers in a Class 4 handicap on May 4th. Others
preferred
7. DESPACITO – Four unplaced runs since a win at this track over 2000m in a handicap on August
6th. Needs to get back to form
8. CANNELLO – Three unplaced runs this year, the latter at Pornichet on January 27th over 3100m
in a Class 4 race. Opposable
9. IN THE ARMY NOW – Nice 2nd last time over 1950m in a Class 4 race on May 12th at
Chateaubriant. In the mix
10. BALAKOVNA – Three unplaced runs recently, 2nd before that over 1800m in a maiden race
on July 4th, 2023. Hard to fancy
11. A NOS SOUVENIRS – 3rd three runs back over 1900m at Deauville in a Class 3 handicap.
Capable of being involved
12. CHARLOTTE TAGADA – 5th last time over 1950m in a Class 4 handicap on May 15th at Le
Mans behind FLAMBOYANTE (5). Place chance
13. BAFANA LINNGARI – 4th last time over 2250m at Niort in a Class 4 race on May 26th. Seeking
win number 11 but others are more likely
14. MANDLEFT – Won last time over 2100m in a Class 3 handicap at Parislongchamp on May
26th. Ought to be in the shake-up
15. SANPEDRO – Four unplaced runs since a win over 1600m at Compiegne in a Class 3 handicap
on July 4th, 2023. Looks vulnerable
16. ILDOUCE FLECHOIS – Fair 2nd at Le Mans last time behind FLAMBOYANTE (5) and has 1.5L
to find with that rival. Player
Summary: RADETSKY MARSCH (3) is the tentative selection in an open race. He was a good
third at Chantilly two starts ago and if emulating that effort he will be hard to beat. FLAMBOYANTE
(5) is a recent winner at Le Mans and has a nice racing weight. She will be competitive. ILDOUCE
FLECHOIS (16) gets in at the foot of the weights and could be one for the each-way backers to
latch on to. IN THE ARMY NOW (9) could be nice odds and is also one to consider from a place
angle.

R4 – PRIX RIDGWAY – 2000m (a1m1/4) – TURF – Listed Race – Flat – EUR € 55,000
1. WAIKATO – Won cozily last time over 2000m at Chantilly and can be right there. Respect and
include in all bets
2. SHAHBAZI – Hard to assess, finished 13th in Rome last month. Others preferred for the win
3. CASAPUEBLO – Two time winner already, finished 3rd over 2100m in a Group 3 on the 6th of
May at Saint-Cloud. Strong each way chance
4. SOLDIER’S GOLD – Huge run in local debut when 3rd in a Listed race at Bouscat on the 25th
of last month. Massive danger
5. HAMAVI – Two top runs thus far at this course. Finished 2nd over 2000m on the 5th of last month
and should be tough to beat. Win
Summary: HAMAVI (5) has shown up excellently in both starts and should take a power of beating.
Both his races have been at this circuit which is a huge advantage. CASAPUEBLO (3) runs for
Godolphin and has already achieved two victories in a handful of runs. Big runner. WAIKATO (1)
is improving rapidly, comes into the race fresh off a win and should be right there. SOLDIER’S
GOLD (4) ran an absolute cracker in his local debut in Listed company and surely has plenty more
to come. Respect and include

1. SOME SKYE – Caught the eye as a maiden last time finishing 3rd over 2200m in Listed class at
this track on the 5th of May. Strong chance
2. ALMARA – Talented filly, great recent form in Group races. Placed 2nd over 2000m at this track
on the 12th of May. Strong win
3. CASHANDA – Won on debut, ignore last run when 7th over 2000m in a Group 2 event. Expect
much better, place claims
4. ROSE JAIPUR – Won a Handicap over 1900m at Chantilly last month but against much weaker.
Far prefer others for the win. Small place chance
5. EARENDEL – Won on debut over 2100m at Chantilly on the 29th of April and can remain
unbeaten after this. Could be anything. Each way
6. FLYING FINN – Caught the eye in local debut at this course on the 23rd of last month when 3rd
in a Listed. Scope to improve off that. Chance
7. HAPPY SAXON – 4th on debut, followed up with a victory at Chantilly over 2000m. Obvious
chance despite taking on stronger form lines
Summary: ALMARA (2) has punched above her weight in her last two starts in very strong Group
races and should take a power of beating in this. SOME SKYE (1) has raced four times for, four
places. She is still a maiden but finished a good 3rd in a Listed race last time. Bright winning claims.
EARENDEL (5) is one-for-one thus far and could be two-for-two after this. Include in everything.
CASHANDA (3) is a must for the quartet.

Win
2. GREY TORNADO – Placed 5th in a Listed event at this track on the 23rd of last month and
should go close. Good chance
3. CASH OUT – Finished 11th at Parislongchamp on the 25th of April over 1600m and far prefer
others. Unlikely
4. HALF HALF – Placed 5th over 1400m in a Group 3 at this track and could lurk into the back end
of the quartet
5. EXCELLENT TRUTH – Won her penultimate, finished 6th over 2000m in a strong Group 1 last
time and should finish in the first three. Big runner
6. GARPUR – Makes his local debut and will need serious improvement to threaten here. Watch
and wait for the next few starts. Pass by
7. RUNNYMEDE – Returns from a rest but did win over 1600m at Saint-Cloud before that. Huge
runner if not needing this come back run too much
8. GARBO – Finished way downfield in a Listed race last time over 1500m at Deauville. Expect
more, outside place claims
Summary: HARPER (1) has been banging loudly at the door recently and looks cherry ripe to get
it all right. His last run was over 1800m at Chantilly. He is the hot first choice. GREY TORNADO
(2) is never far off the action and Group action at that. She can go very close and provide cheek to
the first selection. EXCELLENT TRUTH (5) was a winner of a Group 3 at Deauville in her
penultimate start. She ran 6th in a Group 1 last time. Strong claims. RUNNYMEDE (7) has won
eight races, won last time over 1600m and should be in the first four.

1. LOVE IS GOLD – Was a winner four runs back but has been on the decline since. Will need to
progress on latest 12th at Chantilly. Happy to ignore
2. LORCAN – Placed 3rd at Parislongchamp over 2000m in a Handicap on the 12th of last month.
Good chance
3. OLYMPIC MESSAGE – Won three races back at Cagnes-Sur-Mer but has been disappointing
since. More needed and happy to ignore from all bets
4. ANCTOT – Won well over 2000m at this track in May and could follow up. Respect and include
in all bets
5. MY FANCY – Running well, placed 4th over 2000m in a Handicap at this track last month and
should bet right there. Good chance
6. I’M A BELIEVER – Current form has been on the decline over various distances and tracks.
Needs serious improvement before being considered
7. MR CASSIOPE – Finished way downfield over 2000m at this track last time and plenty more
needed for the win. Pass by
8. MORPHEWAN – Finished 2nd over 2000m in a Handicap at Marseille Borely on the 27th of last
month. Strong winning chance
9. KHOCHENKO – Looking at recent form, he needs serious improvement to feature. Finished way
downfield over 2000m last time. Pass by
10. BELAFONTE – Ignore last run, won before that over 2000m at Lyon Parilly. Outside place
chance at very best
11. SHANNKIYR – Keeps running 6th and needs to progress on that to feature here. Prefer others
for the win but could place
12. GRAND BALCON – Was a winner four races back but has not been sighted since. Would be a
shock winner based on current form. No
13. STAR ROCK – Will need to improve on recent 9th placing at Saint-Cloud over 1600m. Others
are preferred
14. COSMO BEAU – Finished 5th over 1600m at Saint-Cloud on the 14th of May and can improve
off that to get much closer. Big runner
15. LONDON ROYAL – He won his last two in fine fashion and can reel off the hat trick. Recent
win was at Fontainebleau over 2200m. Chance
16. NOSDARGENT – Placed only 10th over 2000m in a Handicap at Parislongchamp on the 12th
of May and is hard to fancy. No
Summary: MORPHEWAN (8) boasts consistent form and caught the eye last time when 2nd at
Marseille Borely. He has every chance of going one more and securing his third career victory. MY
FANCY (5) is taking time to win again but is running well and earning for his connections. Include
in all bets as has strong each way claims. COSMO BEAU (14) has a strong place chance and
SHANNKIYR (11) is selected as the quartet value. Expect a bold effort.

R8 – PRIX PAUL DE MOUSSAC – 1400m (a7f) – TURF – Gr3 Race – Flat – EUR € 80,000
1. LAZZAT – Unbeaten four from four and can remain unbeaten after this. Recent wins are a Listed
at Cagnes-Sur-Mer and a Group 3 at Deauville. Hughe chance
2. SAJIR – Is seeking the hat trick. Won well over 1100m at Chantilly in a Group 3 on the 15th of
April and can follow up. Bright win chance
3. ROSHVAR – Ignore last run, finished 2nd over 1600m at this venue on the 18th of April and is a

more to feature here. Pass by

for the quartet
6. GRAND SON OF CALYX – Finished a very good 2nd over 1400m here at Parislongchamp last
time and has a bright chance again. Good chance
7. PUCHKINE – Ignore last run in the Group 1, finished 2nd over 1600m in Listed class at Toulouse
on the 21st of April. Outside place chance

and has serious claims. Include
10. OPERA MUNDI – Won a Listed race three starts back but has shown declining form thereafter.
Capable but off form and prefer others
Summary: SAJIR (2) has won a Listed and Group 3 in his last two starts and looks a very hard
horse to oppose here. Possible banker. LAZZAT (1) has run four times and won four times,
including a Listed and a Group 3. He can remain unbeaten after this. Obvious win chance.
ROSHVAR (3) was in a Group 1 last time and finished tenth. His form prior was excellent and he
can be expected to go close. MR FLEURANT (8) is doing well, never far off in strong races and
has a strong place chance.

in Handicap class and can finish in the mix
2. CLANITHA – Fair 2nd over 1400m at Bouscat on the 22nd of April and has a place chance again.
Quartet consideration
3. MINOUSHKA – Ignore last run when 10th in a Group 1, finished 2nd over 1600m at this track
before that and has to be respected. Strong chance
4. ROCHELLE – Makes her local debut, won at Kempton Park over 1400m on the 8th of May and
can go close. Bright chance
5. FREVILLE – Finished 9th over 1600m at this course in a Group 1 last time and was a winner of
a Group 3 before. Good chance
6. MONTEMESOLA – Lightly raced, was a winner over 1600m last time at this track and has a
bright chance of following up. Each way say
7. ECLAIRE LA VIE – Placed 3rd over 1350m at Angers last time. This is a tougher field and others
should be too strong. Pass by
8. HARMONY GREY – Will need to build on most recent 5th at Chantilly in a Listed race, and can.
Strong place chance
9. OBSESS – Won over 1600m at this track on the 9th of last month and would be no shock if
following up. Good chance
10. SHADY LADY – Can build on latest 5th over 1400m at Deauville on the 9th of April. A must for
the quartet. Go close
Summary: MINOUSHKA (3) can be forgiven for her dismal last run when 10th over 1600m at this
track but in a tough Group 1. She can be expected to serve up plenty more today and is therefore
the win choice. ROCHELLE (4) makes her local debut but brings back-to-back victories with her
from Great Britain. She can make her presence felt. Include. FREVILLE (5) has given good
accounts of herself in feature races and has to be taken seriously for all bets. OBSESS (9) has an
undeniable hat trick chance.
