Race Preview
R1 – PRIX DANIELLE GODDE – 1350m (a7f) – TURF – Claiming – Flat – EUR € 10,000
1. EL KRAKEN – Has shown enough in three unplaced runs in maiden races to warrant respect and
drops into a claimer. His last run was on June 14th over 1000m. Player
2. DUFY – 5th last time over 1300m in a claimer on June 5th at Argentan. Can not be overlooked
3. BEARN IN LOVE – Unplaced on the sole run over 1200m at La Teste on June 3rd in a maiden race.
Looks vulnerable
4. REVE PAREILLE – Two unplaced runs, the latest over 1200m in a Class 3 race at Dax on May 20th.
Hard to recommend
5. EVERBLOOM – 4th on the last start at Lyon Parilly over 1350m in a claimer on June 8th. Others rate
higher
6. FICTION – Fair 4th in a maiden last time over 1000m on May 30th. Down in class and can be too
smart
7. FARFA – 6th on the sole run over 1300m in a claimer at Argentan on June 5th. In the mix
8. LAHOMI – 6th on both runs so far, the latter in a claimer at Compiegne on June 12th over 1400m.
Place chance
9. LA PUNTINA – Two runs so far, unplaced on both of them, the latter at Compiegne in a claimer over
1400m on June 12th. Opposable
10. BYGRACE – Two unplaced runs, the latter in a claimer over 1200m on May 22nd. One to keep safe
Summary: FICTION (6) ran with promise when fourth in a maiden at Parislongchamp last time and
dropped in class this time she can be too smart for her rivals. EL KRAKEN (1) has shown talent in the
three runs so far and is also dropping in class today. He can make the selection work hard. DUFY (2)
was fifth in a claimer last time and is also worth considering. LAHOMI (8) looks best of the remainder.

R2 – PRIX DU VERGER – 1350m (a7f) – TURF – Class 3 Race – Flat – EUR € 12,000
1. TWO O’CLOCK JUMP – Nice 2nd last time over 2000m at Nancy on May 22nd in a maiden race.
Hard to rule out
2. LA LANDONNE – Unplaced last time, 4th before that over 1200m at Fontainebleau on April 30th.
Live chance
3. AERODYNAMIC – 5th last time over 1400m at Le Mans on May 15th in a maiden race. Can make
the top four
4. GUERRIER MYSTERE – 5th last time over 1400m on June 9th at Le Lion D’Angers. Can make the
top three
5. BAILEYS ILLUSION – 2nd last time at Limoges over 1400m on May 5th on his second start. Others
make more appeal
6. IVORY TRAOU LAND – 3rd last time over 2100m on the PSF on February 22nd in a claimer. Might
find this difficult
7. MISS SISSI – 6th last time over 1800m on the PSF on January 11th. Has work to do to feature
8. IRAJA – Two unplaced runs of late, the latter over 1400m at Compiegne on May 31st. Hard to fancy
9. GRACELLA – Nice 5th last time at Saint-Cloud over 1600m on June 11th. Will be sharper this time
10. MARILLAWOOD – 6th last time over 1950m at Chateaubriant on June 3rd. Needs more in a
competitive race
11. BREATHE ON – Three unplaced runs so far, the latter over 1300m at Deauville on December 20th.
Opposable
12. TWIN DREAM – Two unplaced runs of late, the latter over 1400m at Le Lion D’Angers on June 9th.
Pass over
13. BONITA SUISSE – 5th last time over 1400m at Compiegne when last seen. Among the leading
place chances
Summary: LA LANDONNE (2) has shown promise in her three starts and can put a slightly below-par
run last time behind her and get off the mark this time. GRACELLA (9) ran well when fifth at Saint-Cloud recently and can improve further and be competitive. TWO O’CLOCK JUMP (1) ran well when second last time and looks a banker each way. GUERRIER MYSTERE (4) looks best of the remainder.

R3 – PRIX ABRIVERT (PRIX DE LA VIEILLE FORGE) – 1350m (a7f) – TURF – Class 4 Handicap – Flat – EUR € 12,000
1. DORIANELLO – Unplaced on the last two runs, 2nd before that at Le Croise-Laroche in a Class 4
race over 1800m on April 20th. Key chance
2. LITTLE BELL ZANZI – Unplaced on the last two runs, 3rd before that on debut over 1600m at
Lignieres on March 2nd. Might find this difficult
3. LAGOA SANTA – Won last time over 1400m in a Class 4 race at Niort on May 26th. Can not be ruled
out
4. SHINING AL DANAH – 6th last time over 1400m in a Class 4 race at Niort on May 26th. Hard to
recommend
5. TOOCOOLFORSCHOOL – 2nd two runs ago over 1400m at Le Lion D’Angers on May 9th in a Class
4 handicap. Can be on the premises
6. DIEPPE – Nice effort when 2nd last time over 1400m in a Class 4 race at Niort on May 26th. Player
7. MADMOISELLECHANG – Unplaced on the sole start this year, that was at Nantes on May 30th in a
Class 4 handicap over 1600m. Opposable
8. CAP SKIRRING – Fair 3rd last time over 1300m in a Class 4 race at Argentan on June 5th. In the
mix
9. JERIMADETH – Unplaced last time, 2nd before that over 1800m in a Class 4 race on May 20th.
Ought to be involved
10. LA FLACA – Five unplaced runs this year, the most recent over 1300m in a Class 4 race on June
5th. Hardly inspiring
11. APASH – 6th last time at Gabarret over 1800m in a Class 4 race on May 13th. Looks vulnerable
12. SHAT ELARAB – Won last time at Saint-Cloud over 1300m in a Class 4 handicap on May 25th. Has
place claims
13. IMAGINE CHOP – 2nd last time over 1400m at Niort in a Class 4 handicap on June 9th. Others rate
higher
14. BELLE IMPRESSION – Four recent unplaced runs, the most recent over 1400m in a Class 4
handicap at Niort on June 9th. Makes little sense
15. TAX EXILE – Has numerous unplaced runs of late, the latest over 1300m at Saint-Cloud in a Class
4 handicap on May 25th. Hard to fancy
16. HARDANCE – Has several unplaced runs of late, the latest over 1800m at Clairefontaine in a Class
4 race on July 1st, 2022. Will need this run
Summary: DORIANELLO (1) holds leading claims in this handicap despite having top weight to
contend with. His main threat could be DIEPPE (6) who ran a pleasing race when second last time at
Niort in late May over 1400m. CAP SKIRRING (8) was recently third and looks like a safe each-way
angle to look at. JERIMADETH (9) is racing off a nice weight and has to be considered.

R4 – PRIX DU C.E.R.G.O. (PRIX SUD-MAYENNE) – 2300m (a1m1/2) – TURF – Maiden Race – Flat – EUR € 11,000
1. DIALLA – Showed promise when unplaced on her only run last November over 1800m at
Fontainebleau. Can improve and be involved
2. HAUTEVILLE – 4th on her debut run over 2400m at Saint-Cloud on May 20th. Can improve and play
a lead role
3. DYLAN’S SPIRIT – 3rd on both runs so far, the latter over 2500m on May 20th. Looks progressive
and can make the frame
4. BANSHIE – 6th last time, 2nd before that at Chantilly over 1800m in a maiden on December 9th.
Consider
5. JANASHA – Nice 2nd last time at Angers on May 21st over 2100m. Looks ready to get her head in
front
6. RAISON GARDEE – Unplaced on the only run over 2300m at Angers on May 4th. Makes limited
appeal
7. LA DO RE – Unplaced on the sole run so far over 1800m at Dieppe on May 13th. Might find this
difficult
8. ECHAPPEES BELLES – Nice debut 2nd over 2350m on May 8th at Haras Du Pin. One to keep safe
9. PROUD LUCY – 5th on her only run at Parislongchamp on May 26th over 2000m. Outside place
chance

11. PENTRESHMES – Unplaced on the sole run at Saint-Cloud over 2000m on March 21st. Can be
involved with improvement
12. REINE DU RISK – Unraced by No Risk At All, likely to need this outing for experience. Watch the
betting for clues
13. MY MIND – Unraced by Land Force, the dam never ran. Will likely need this run for experience. The
betting can be the best guide
14. AVENTUREUSE – Newcomer by Gammarth, from a good stable who can ready a debutante. The
betting can be informative
15. MINOKAWA – Unraced by Luck Of The Kitten, stable runners tend to need a run or two. Watch the
betting market
Summary: JANASHA (5) has been second on two of her last three runs and holds a strong chance of
getting off the mark. HAUTEVILLE (2) showed plenty of promise when she was fourth on her debut and
will be fitter and more focused today. DIALLA (1) showed promise on only one run last year and can be
competitive. ECHAPPEES BELLES (8) was second on her only run and can improve from that and has
place claims.

1. TAMYZ – 5th last time over 2100m on April 21st in a maiden at Haras Du Pin. Looks a player
2. ASRIEL – Unplaced on the sole run at Dieppe over 1800m on May 13th. Should improve and be
more involved this time
3. SPEED FOR FUN – Nice 3rd at Compiegne on May 31st over 2000m when last seen. Hard to discount
4. MOONDI LISES – Unplaced on the sole run over 2400m at Vichy on May 26th. Looks out of his depth
5. ZELZARI – 7th on his debut at Nort-Sur-Erdre on June 2nd over 1800m. Has work to do to make the
frame
6. TOP SPIN – 6th on his debut over 1800m on May 20th in a maiden race. Has work to do to feature
7. DADDY JOY – Decent 2nd last time over 2650m at Cahteaubriant on June 3rd. Ought to be in the
shake-up
8. BLACKMOON DU MAZET – Two unplaced runs so far, the latest at Dax in a claimer over 2300m on
June 10th. Looks vulnerable
9. KENPIC – Four unplaced runs this year, the latter over 2500m in a handicap on June 5th. Looks

and hard to beat
13. COUNT PARIS – Unplaced on the last two runs, 4th before that over 1600m at Vichy on August
21st. Makes limited appeal
14. GOGO DU BREUIL – Newcomer by Cloth Of Stars, the dam was a top-class filly who won at Group
1 and Group 2 Class. Will be expected to play a lead role on debut
15. ALL MOONSHINE – Newcomer by Spanish Moon, the dam was placed. Will likely need this outing
for experience. The betting can guide
16. LIDIELLOVATHO – Two unplaced runs over hurdles, the latter over 3500m at Auteuil on June 1st.
Hard task on flat debut
Summary: RAGNAR CITY (12) caught the eye when fifth at Angers on his debut and will be sharper
for that outing and looks like the most likely winner. SPEED FOR FUN (3) has shown talent in both of
his runs and was a good third at Compiegne 20 days ago. He can make the selection work hard. DADDY JOY (7) was a good second last time and is the best option each way. TAMYZ (1) is another that needs to be considered.

outsider that has it all to do

Good chance
6. KIMI ORENDA – Ran 5th over 1200m at Saint-Cloud on the 25th of last month and can get a little bit
closer. Include in the quartet
7. EASY – Lightly raced, twice a winner, which was a Listed race last time. Can never be ignored.
Quartet chance
8. KELINA – Fair last run, won penultimate at this track over 1400m in a Group 1 and is a huge runner.
Big chance
9. MR FLEURANT – Placed 4th over 1100m at Chantilly on the 15th of April in a strong feature and can
get into the action. Chance
Summary: KING GOLD (3) has been competing in Group races for a while and has not been disgraced.
A huge effort can be expected from him. His last run was in Dubai in March. KELINA (8) was a Group
1 winner at her penultimate start and can go close. Strong each way claims. EXXTRA (5) boasts a
recent Group 3 victory at this track and can follow up. Include in everything. BREIZH SKY (1) has solid

1. MY FLINDERS – Placed 4th over 1850m in Handicap class at this track last time out and is a must
for all bets. Quartet definite
2. DAYSANIYA – Placed 2nd three starts back but has been dismal since. An outsider that is hard to
fancy. Pass by
3. RED NUDE ROUGE – A tad erratic but on best form is a big runner. Placed 4th over 1350m last time.
Strong each way chance
4. JIEPIES MELODY – She is running huge races, finished 2nd over 1600m in a Handicap at
Compiegne on the 24th of May and rates tough to beat. Win
5. ELZADA – Has absolutely no form to speak about and can be passed by, Finished 11th last time at
Saint-Cloud. No
6. AFGHANY – Ignore last run when 10th, finished 3rd over 1800m before that but needs to do plenty
more that that to threaten. Unlikely
7. QU’HUBO – Finished 9th over 1600m at Lyon Parilly on the 1st of June and can get closer. Small
outside place chance at best
8. MON SIOUX – Will need to progress on recent form to win this but could lurk into the back end of the
quartet. Prefer others for today
9. JORDAN BAKER – Placed only 8th in a Handicap at Tarbes on the 5th of June and can build on that.
Fair overall place form. Place chance at best
10. ORANGE VIF – Has made very little impression recently as form is declining over various distances.
Pass by
11. HEART SHINING – Is not making any impression or in roads on current form which makes him hard
to fancy. Pass by. No
12. ZAAHIR – Placed 7th last time, 6th before that and will need to pull out much more that that to win
this. Prefer others
13. PRAIRIE GLORY – Will need huge progression on latest 7th effort over 1800m at Compiegne in a
Handicap. Pass by
14. CHIEF RED CLOUD – Ignore last run, finished 2nd before that at Toulouse over 1600m which gives
him a small chance but prefer others
15. BENNY BEN – Current form has been on the decline, finished 17th last time and will find it hard to
win on that. Pass by
16. TWIN BOY – Finished only 6th over 1400m at Compiegne last time and needs a lot more to feature
here. Happy to ignore
17. RUBIS GOLD – Comes into the race fresh off a victory at Chantilly over 1600m in a Handicap. Big
runner
18. KOULIKOFF – Was a winner last time when racing at Nantes over 1600m in a Handicap. Outsider
that has a small say
Summary: JIEPIES MELODY (4) is banging loudly at the door for her second career victory and today
is confidently selected to be the day. RED NUDE ROUGE (3) is a tad erratic but has solid form and on
very best efforts, can threaten all the way home. Big chance. RUBIS GOLD (17) won a cozy race at
Chantilly last time and it would be absolutely no shock any all, if he were to follow up. MY FLINDERS
(1) finished 4th last time and can confirm that. She is a must for the majority of your bets.

R8 – PRIX DU MUSEE RODIN – 1800m (a1m1/8) – TURF – Maiden Race – Flat – EUR € 27,000
1. VILLA CASTELLO – Improving, finished 4th over 1800m at Compiegne late last month and has to
be taken seriously. Strong place
2. NEVERSLAND – Fair debut finishing 6th over 1800m at this track on the 15th of October last year.
Will probably need this run. Prefer others
3. SPEEDY GONZALEZ – Can improve on debut when 10th over 2100m at Chantilly in April, but will
need to. Place claims
4. AMARENA DODVILLE – Finished 6th on debut at Compiegne over 1600m and will need to produce
more to feature. Happy to ignore for now
5. MARINELLA – Never shone in a claiming race last time and would be a shock winner. Impossible to
fancy against these
6. GRAND STARS – Attractive first run when 4th over 2100m at Chantilly. Expect plenty more and can
go close. Good chance
7. SAILAWAYWITHME – Ran a cracker at Compiegne over 2000m on the 31st of May finishing 3rd.
She can build on that and is therefore selected to win
8. WISH UPON A STAR – Will need to improve on debut 8th over 2400m at Saint-Cloud on the 20th of
May. Small, outside place chance
9. VIVAWOOD – Will need to build on latest 9th finish at Compiegne late last month and far prefer others
for the win. Outside chance
10. ST ELVIRA – Huge effort at the second start when 3rd in a Listed race earlier this month in Germany.
Huge chance
11. WINDBURN – Filly finished 2nd on debut at Fontainebleau but has since posted two fifths. Chance
on debut effort
12. ISCREAMFORICECREAM – Only managed 6th on debut at this track on the 26th of last month and
will need improvement to feature. Pass by
13. LADY LAWA – A daughter of Dabirsim out of a War Front mare that makes the debut. Watch the
betting trends as race time looms
Summary: SAILAWAYWITHME (7) is lightly raced and more than likely has a lot more to give. She
finished 3rd at Compiegne last time and is the winning selection. ST ELVIRA (10) ran an absolute
cracker at only the second time of asking in a Listed race, but in Germany. She has a massive chance.
WINDBURN (11) caught the eye on debut but flopped in both runs since. She can improve to match the debut form and has a place chance. VILLA CASTELLO (1) is improving and should win soon. A must
for the quartet play.

1. PEANUT ROYALE – Current form has been on the decline and completely unimpressive. She is hard
to fancy and would be a shock winner
2. PEARL HARBOUR – Placed 4th at Compiegne over 1800m earlier this month and can place again.
Respect and include
3. MALLORCA SUN – Only managed 5th over 1400m last time in a weak claiming race. Much more
needed here and can be ignored
4. BOW LANE – He is taking time for his next win, finished 5th over 1400m in a Handicap last time and
needs to do plenty more for the win
5. KHABESA – Never too far adrift the action but does have a few lengths to find to make the frame.
Pass by
6. HERODION – Current form leaves a lot to be desired as has been on the decline over various
distances. No
7. MINOTAUROS – Has won his last two impressively and has an undeniable chance of reeling off the
hat trick. Can win
8. KICK BOXING – Attractive effort finishing 2nd over 1600m in a Handicap here at this track and can
go one more. Serious chance
9. WEEKEND WARRIOR – Ignore last dismal effort, finished 3rd before that over 1600m at Compiegne.
Money chance
10. PALANZANO – Finished 5th over 1800m at Dieppe on the 29th of May and needs to do much more
than that for the win. Unlikely
11. EAGLEHAWK – Placed 10th at Compiegne earlier this month and overall form is average. Pass by
12. MANDLYX LOVE – Lightly raced and is showing very little and will find out tough to place against
these. Unlikely. No
13. GIN GEMBRE – Finished 8th over 1400m in a Handicap on the 12th of this month and needs to do
more than that. Happy to ignore
14. PRINCE GEORGE – Holding form, placed 4th over 1400m in a Handicap at Niort on the 9th of June
and has a strong place chance
15. VEGA DREAM – Good last run when 3rd over 1400m in Handicap class at Compiegne on the 12th
of this month. Good each way chance
16. SHANNA ROSE – Much better effort when 2nd last time at Nantes over 1600m in a Handicap on
the 30th of last month. Good chance
17. MIAMI BEET – Will need to progress on recent 6th over 1800m in a Handicap at Compiegne. Happy
to ignore
18. ZOUBAREVA – She finished 5th over 1800m in a Handicap on the 7th of this month but will need
to do plenty more for the selection panel. Pass by
Summary: VEGA DREAM (15) has had plenty racing, knows how to win and showed up in 3rd recently
at Compiegne. He comes into the race with strong claims. KICK BOXING (8) ran a much better race
last time when 2nd at this very circuit and must be taken seriously. He can go one more. PRINCE
GEORGE (14) is a long time trying maiden but is earning along the way and should win soon. For today, a strong place chance. SHANNA ROSE (16) improved last time and can be factored into the quartet.

R10 – PRIX PERPLEXITE – 2200m (a1m1/2) – TURF – Divided Handicap – Flat – EUR € 28,000
1. ASTROLOGER – Rewarded for his consistency with a last-start maiden success over 2400m at
Wissembourg on 8 June. Could have more to offer sent handicapping
2. PROBABLY ME – Has already established himself in the handicaps and has sound form
references/credentials at this level, including a last-start 4th in a 2100m handicap at this venue on 23
May. Will be a factor
3. MON FLAMANT – Caught the eye, despite an unfavourable trip, when 3rd on handicap debut over
2100m at this venue on 23 May. Winning chance
4. HONEY BADGER – Consistent performer in conditions races on both surfaces – not beaten far in
each of his 4 starts (2 on PSF). Didn’t go unnoticed when 6th over 2300m at Angers on 4 May
5. RUE CUSTINE – Last-start winner of a 2100m claimer at Saint-Cloud on 10 May. Reverts to the
handicaps under a 1,5kg penalty
6. VERA – Improving last-start winner over 2200m at Dieppe on 29 May. Open to further progress on
handicap debut
7. CHESS – Consistent colt with sufficient means to make his presence felt on handicap debut, having
finished 4th in each of his 3 starts – the latest over 2400m in a conditions race at Saint-Cloud on 14 May
8. INTUITION – Not beaten far in 3 claimers recently, the latest (5th) over 2000m at this venue on 6
June. Dark horse
9. VILLA DES ARTS – Returned to form with an encouraging 2nd over 2400m in a conditions race at
Saint-Cloud on 14 May. Not taken lightly on her handicap debut
10. CHESTER SKY – Consistent Adrien Fouassier-trained gelding with sound references in handicaps
on both surfaces. Didn’t go unnoticed when 7th in a 1600m handicap at this venue on 26 May
11. GRAND LILI – Wasn’t disgraced when returning from a 3-month absence to finish 7th over 2000m
on handicap debut at Compiegne on 7 June. Open to improvement
12. CHANAZ – Improving colt with sound references/form credentials in handicaps – includes finishing
3rd in consecutive 2000m handicaps, the latest at Lyon-Parilly on 1 June. Keep safe
Summary: MON FLAMANT (3), who is co-owned by Massimiliano Allegri, didn’t have the smoothest
run in transit but ran on well to finish ahead of PROBABLY ME (2) in a 2100m handicap at this venue
last time and is good value to confirm his superiority. However, given the strength and consistency of
his form, consistent CHANAZ (12) also has the means to fight for victory under bottom weight. VILLA
DES ARTS (9) finished a reassuring 2nd in her last start and need only confirm that form/improvement
to have a say in the outcome.

on heavy ground at Compiegne on 31 May. More needed

a 2400m Group III at Chantilly on 2 June – finished behind MOSAIQUE (8) that day
3. LAVENDER LACE – Exciting prospect whose chances at this level shouldn’t be underestimated, with
improvement likely after a winning debut over 2000m at this venue on 26 May. Keep safe
4. LE COMBAT CONTINUE – Improving sort who has appreciated racing beyond 2000m, winning backto-back 2200m races at (latest on 18 May) at Lyon-Parilly. Dark horse
5. WHERE I WANNA BE – Finished a well-held 3rd in a recent (25 May) Listed race over 2000m at
Goodwood on her reappearance. Ought to have improved with the benefit of that comeback outing
6. CHASUBLE – Revealed considerable means in 3 starts on PSF and showed her versatility/effective
on turf when finishing 3rd in a 2200m Class 2 conditions race at Nantes on 30 May – has more to do
7. OUR GOLDEN ONE – Finished 5th (of 5) in a 2000m Listed race at Newbury on 18 May. Wasn’t
beaten far that day but will have to improve to make her presence felt
8. MOSAIQUE – Progressive filly. Confirmed the promise/improvement of her maiden win by finishing
3rd in a Group III at Chantilly over 2400m on 2 June. Winning chance
Summary: MOSAIQUE (8) confirmed the form and improvement of her Saint-Cloud success last month
by following up with a good 3rd in a Group III race at Chantilly last time. She finished ahead of
STRASSIA (2) on that occasion and is worth siding with here at the expense of that rival. Well-bred
LAVENDER LACE (3) is an interesting runner open to any amount of improvement after a debut win
over 2000m at this venue. British raider WHERE I WANNA BE (5) isn’t underestimated either, having
finished 3rd in a Listed race at Goodwood when last seen.

R12 – PRIX DU NABOB – 2200m (a1m1/2) – TURF – Divided Handicap – Flat – EUR € 55,000
1. DSCHINGIS DREAM – Lightly raced colt with undeniable means – boasts sound references/form
credentials, including a last-start 3rd in a competitive conditions race over 2350m at Angers on 29 May. Not taken lightly on handicap debut
2. BENIMARU – Has improved with each outing and confirmed as much with a last-start win over at
1950m Châteaubriant on 12 May. Makes his handicap/Quinte+ debut off a relatively high opening mark
but has to be respected
3. MEAUTIS – Consistent colt with sound references/form credentials, albeit without winning. Caught
the eye when 5th on handicap/Quinte+ debut before showing his form/well-being with a good 3rd over
1950m at this venue on 30 May – dark horse
4. MISSION ALPHA – Improving last-start winner at this venue over 2000m on 9 May. Pitched into a
handicap/Quinte for the first time off a relatively high opening mark but is dangerous to discount
5. SPINELLO – Improving, unexposed colt with undeniable ability – finished 2nd in consecutive
conditions races over 2400m at Saint-Cloud, the latest on 14 May. Not taken lightly on his
handicap/Quinte+ debut
6. DAY TRADER – Has won twice in the handicaps, the latest at Evreux over 2500m in April, but
appeared to struggle under a 4kg penalty when only 5th over 2700m in a handicap at this venue on 23
May. For another day
7. VAZIRHAN – Opened his account on handicap debut over 2400m at Lyon-Parilly and confirmed that
form/improvement (under a 4kg penalty) by finishing 5th in his first Quinte+ appearance over 2100m at this venue on 23 May
8. KING TREZY – Consistent colt with solid form references/credentials, albeit without a victory. Finished an eye-catching 3rd in his first handicap/Quinte+ start over 2100m, behind STAR OF THE NIGHT (9), at this venue on 23 May
9. STAR OF THE NIGHT – Won back-to-back 2000m races, the latest a handicap at Saint-Cloud, before
finishing a close-up 2nd in her Quinté+ debut over 2100m at this venue on 23 May. Candidate for
success
10. MEHLANGO – Belatedly opened his account by winning a 2100m handicap at this venue on 23 May
and a resultant 2,5kg penalty is unlikely to halt his momentum. Keep safe
11. TILILA – Consistent filly with sound references on PSF, including a Quinte+ 2nd over 1900m at
Chantilly in March. Could only finish 8th in her first start on turf in a Quinte+ handicap at Chantilly on 29 April – for another day
12. AL HABISSET – Won back-to-back 2400m races on PSF, including her handicap debut at Lyon-La
Soie in April. Made little impression when only 8th in a 2100m handicap (her first start on turf) at this
venue on 23 May – outsider
13. MIA MAN – Finished an encouraging 3rd on his handicap debut at Chantilly (on heavy ground over
2400m) last month but was soundly beaten (8th) over 2700m in his first appearance at this venue on
23 May. Others preferred
14. AGORIA – Revealed considerable means in 3 starts on the PSF but has looked less effective on
turf – unplaced in both outings in Quinte+ handicaps, the latest (14th) over 2100m at this venue on 23
May. Best watched for now 15. GOOSEBUMPY – Showed promise in 3 starts as a two-year-old but has disappointed this term –
unplaced in both comeback appearances, the latest (6th) in a 1950m conditions race at this venue on
30 May. Makes handicap debut
16. ZARAKIVA – Unexposed filly who runs well under Sophie Chuette. Best watched for now, though,
having finished 5th in consecutive 2400m conditions races at Saint-Cloud, the latest on 14 May
Summary: STAR OF THE NIGHT (9) confirmed the form of her handicap victory at Saint-Cloud by only
narrowly failing to follow up in her first Quinté+ appearance over 2100m at this venue last month, proving her competitiveness at this level off her current mark. She need only repeat that performance to fight for victory with VAZIRHAN (7), who renews rivalry after an encouraging Quinté debut (5th) in the same race. MEHLANGO (10) opened his account in a 2100m handicap at this venue last time and a resultant 2,5kg penalty is unlikely to halt his momentum. DSCHINGIS DREAM (1), KING TREZY (8), who is closely matched on the form of a recent meeting with the selection, and improving last-start winner BENIMARU (2) are other candidates for a podium berth.
