Race Preview

R1 – PRIX BAMBOO EDITION (PRIX LA CRESSONNIERE) – 1600m (a1m) – TURF – Class 2 Race – Flat – EUR € 34,000

1. GUN OF BRIXTON – Won at the second time of asking. His victory came at Saint-Cloud over
1400m in June. He is a huge runner
2. ROSA SALVAJE – Impressive debut winner over 1400m at Saint-Cloud on the 4th of June and
is confidently selected to win again. Exciting prospect
3. STUNNING ANGEL – Solid form, placed 3rd over 1350m at Lyon Parilly on the 23rd of last
month. Should go very close
4. VICTORY FOLIE – She can be expected to progress on her debut 8th over 1400m at Compiegne
on the 22nd of last month. Include in all bets

Summary: ROSA SALVAJE (2) made a smart winning debut over 1400m at Saint-Cloud and is
confidently selected to remain unbeaten after this. She could be absolutely anything. GUN OF
BRIXTON (1) caught the eye on debut and followed up with an impressive victory over 1400m and
can follow up. He is the biggest danger to the first choice. STUNNING ANGEL (3) has run two
places since winning her maiden and should be competitive again. VICTORY FOLIE (4) can
improve on her debut effort to get much closer this time.

ROSA SALVAJE (2) – GUN OF BRIXTON (1) – STUNNING ANGEL (3) – VICTORY FOLIE (4)

R2 – PRIX LES PETITS MYTHOS (PRIX DE LA COUR RECTANGLE) – 1600m (a1m) – TURF – Class 2 Race – Flat – EUR € 28,000

1. PURPLE MOOD – Will need big improvement on latest 9th at Chantilly over 1900m in a
Handicap. Much prefer others
2. TIMES WARRIOR – Is a son of Saxon Warrior out of an Oasis Dream mare that will need to be
good to beat these first time out. Prefer others
3. OZAT – Won a tad cozily over 1600m at Lyon Parilly on the 15th of last month and is selected to
follow up. Strong win chance
4. AZILIA – Won on debut, finished 3rd after that over 1800m at Compiegne and should be a big
runner here. Good chance
5. GOLIGHTLY – Attractive form, placed 2nd over 1800m at Compiegne on the 31st of May and
should be right there at the finish. Good chance
6. PANAREA – Has not shone at all in two races thus far and will need to start improving before
being selected. Happy to pass by
7. CREEKATTEMPS – Only managed 11th over 1600m at Saint-Cloud last time and is hard to
fancy against these. Unlikely. No
8. DONAMAY – Finished 4th over 1800m at Compiegne on the 22nd of June after making a
pleasing winning debut. Strong each way chance

Summary: OZAT (3) comes from the Fabre stable and comes into the race fresh off a victory at
Lyon Parilly over 1600m. His overall form is solid and he is selected to follow up. DONAMAY (8)
won on debut and followed up with an encouraging 4th at Compiegne. She has strong each way
claims and can be followed into the future. GOLIGHTLY (5) backed up her win with an encouraging
2nd and based on that, has to be given serious claims. AZILIA (4) should be right there and is a
natural for the quartet.

OZAT (3) – DONAMAY (8) – GOLIGHTLY (5) – AZILIA (4)

R3 – PRIX TRIPLE GALOP (PRIX DES BOUTONS D’OR) – 1600m (a1m) – TURF – Claiming – Flat – EUR € 24,000

1. RETT ANGEL – Excellent 2nd over 1400m at Lion D’Angers on the 9th of June and can go one
more. Bright chance
2. VIVRE LIBRE – Ignore last run when 9th, finished 4th over 1350m at Lyon Parilly before that and
has a good chance
3. EL KRAKEN – Finished 8th over 1400m at Chantilly last time and has average overall form.
Happy to ignore
4. BOHEMOS – Placed 5th at the second time of asking over 1400m at Compiegne in a claiming
race on the 22nd of last month. Strong place chance
5. RUE DU PERCHE – Daughter of Galiway out of a Fast Company mare that might need a run or
two to tighten up. Watch the betting trends for more. Pass by
6. TIBERIANA – A first timer that will need to be very good to beat this field on debut, but watch the
betting trends as race time looms
7. CALA BONITA – Ran a good race on debut finishing 5th over 1400m and with natural
improvement, could be difficult to oppose. Strong win
8. EYWA – Caught the eye last time albeit in a claiming race when 2nd over 1400m at Compiegne.
Strong each way claims
9. FARFA – Finished 4th over 1350m at Angers last time out and will need to do way more for the
win. Outside quartet chance at best
10. BYGRACE – Finished 5th over 1350m at Angers last time out and more than that is required
for the win. Prefer others

Summary: CALA BONITA (7) caught the eye on debut when finishing just off the winner and placed
horses. She ran 5th and with natural progression, should go close to getting it all right. RETT
ANGEL (1) did win a claiming race but followed that up with an encouraging 2nd over 1400m in
early June and can fight out the finish. EYWA (8) is running well, albeit in claiming races, but she
is showing some talent and is one for the shortlist. VIVRE LIBRE (2) is a must for most bets,
especially, the quartet.

R4 – PRIX LES PROFS (PRIX D’ELLON) – 1400m (a7f) – TURF – Class 3 Race – Flat – EUR € 20,000

1. GOLDFIELD – Placed 11th last time out but did win before that over 1300m at this course. An
outsider with a very small place chance
2. MAGIC PERSEVERANCE – Will need to build on recent form but has shown talent before. Hard
to assess but can never be ignored
3. VITESSE – Running well, placed 3rd over 1600m in Handicap class at Toulouse on the 19th of
June and has strong each way claims
4. WIKENDA – Finished only 10th over 1400m at Compiegne in a weak claiming race and would
be a surprise winner despite winning penultimate. Unlikely
5. CHIRICCO – Placed 2nd at penultimate and followed up with a fair 5th over 1100m in a Handicap
at La Teste on the 27th of last month. Good chance
6. MAITRE D’ARMES – Lightly raced, finished 2nd at penultimate start over 1700m at Granville
and has an outside place chance for the quartet
7. TANIS – Taking time to win, ignore last run, finished 2nd over 1400m at Chantilly before that in
a Handicap and deserves the utmost respect. Big chance
8. ETEL – Was a winner three races back but has not shone thereafter. Hard to assess but do far
prefer others
9. BAIGNADE – Lightly raced, last run when 6th over 1700m is a small concern. Prefer other and
happy to ignore
10. GRACELLA – Will need to do way more than most recent 6th over 1350m at Angers over
1350m and is therefore hard to make a case for. No
11. ALIMAYA – Is hard to fancy on current form and can be ignored from all bets for today. Pass
by
12. WAY TO MARBELLA – Will need to progress on recent 5th over 1600m at Parislongchamp on
the 13th of last month. Prefer others

Summary: TANIS (7) can be forgiven for her last run but judged on the penultimate effort when
2nd at Chantilly. She has strong each way claims. VITESSE (3) boasts consistent form and should
trouble the judges at the finish. If she were to win, it would be no shock at all. MAGIC
PERSEVERANCE (2) is a tad off form currently but has shown some form before. She has more
of a place chance than a winning one today, but is a must for all bets. CHIRICCO (5) has as strong
place chance and should win the maiden soon.

R5 – PRIX PIERRE LEPEUDRY – 1800m (a1m1/8) – TURF – Maiden Race – Flat – EUR € 22,000

1. SHADIRWAN – Finished 4th on debut over 1600m at Saint-Cloud in a maiden on the 11th of
June 2024. Could improve to earn a cheque
2. HYPERCORE – Held in 4th spot over 2400m at Saint-Cloud in a maiden race on the 4th of June
2024. One to pass by
3. MAITRE DE CHANT – Finished 7th on debut over 1400m at Compiegne in a maiden race on the
18th of September 2023. Others preferred
4. HIGHFIELD MYSTERY – No show in 9th spot over 2000m at Compiegne in a maiden on the
12th of June 2024. One to pass by
5. EVERGREEN – Finished 5th over 2000m at Parislongchamp in a maiden on the 18th of April
2024. Place chance
6. LORD ASRIEL D ALME – No type of effort in 12th position over 2000m at Chantilly in a maiden
on the 29th of June 2024. Would be a surprise winner
7. OSCAR – Finished 5th over 2200m at Parislongchamp in a Group 3 on the 23rd of May 2024.
The one to beat
8. WINGTIP – Finished 7th over 1600m at Saint-Cloud on the 19th of April 2024. Unlikely to play a
role here
9. HONEY BADGER – Finished 7th over 2200m at Parislongchamp in a handicap on the 20th of
June 2024. Outside place chance
10. AMARENA DODVILLE – Finished 5th behind a reopposing sort at Parislongchamp in a maiden
over 1800m on the 20th of June 2024. Others make more appeal
11. POETIC DAWN – Finished 11th on debut over 1600m at Newmarket and has her first start on
French soil. Can show improvement
12. SAILAWAYWITHME – Finished 4th over 1800m at Parislongchamp in a maiden contest on the
20th of June 2024. Can run into the money
13. SOEUR – Fair effort in 4th position over 1600m at Saint-Cloud in a maiden contest on the 11th
of June 2024. Place claims
14. MODERN LIGHT – Moderate effort in 8th position over 2000m at Chantilly in a maiden on the
11th of May 2024. Others preferred
15. WILD N’BEAUTIFUL – Dam won three times in Germany over 2200m & 2400m. The yard aren’t
known for getting them ready first time out. One to pass by
16. SEPTIMUS – Dam won three times over 1500m & 1900m including a win at Listed level but this
gelding could need the experience. Others make more appeal

Summary: OSCAR (7) looked ready to win a maiden before being thrown into the deep end in a
Group 3 where the form has worked out very well and now back against maidens, he sets a very
high standard and looks hard to oppose. EVERGREEN (5) has produced two fair efforts to date
and should be involved for the placings. SOEUR (13) has improved with her two efforts to date and
can earn. SAILAWAYWITHME (12) has been consistent in the maiden ranks and should be there
or thereabouts once again.

R6 – PRIX PREMIERE CHANCE – 1400m (a7f) – TURF – Newcomers Race – Flat – EUR € 23,000

1. VICTORY WIND – Unraced colt by City Light, from the Chappet stable who can ready a
newcomer to score on debut. Monitor the betting for any support
2. MANDATORY – Unraced by Without Parole, will know his job on debut and any interest in the
betting market should be noted
3. WOODY – Newcomer by Wooded, should be better for this debut run. Monitor the betting patterns
4. KLEVER – Newcomer by Frankel, the dam won one race. From a top stable who knows the time
of day. Will be expected to score on debut
5. REZZONICO – Filly by Fighting Irish, stable runners warrant respect although this filly will likely
not be fully tuned for her opening start
6. MRS BOHEMIAN – Newcomer by Mr Owen, stable runners warrant respect and any market
support should be noted
7. CARPE DIEM – Filly by Galiway, will likely need this debut run. Any market interest should be
informative

betting for any support

on he debut

support should be noted
14. SILVER TOWER – Newcomer by Kendargent, the dam was placed twice. Related to the smart

Summary: KLEVER (4) is by the leading sire Frankel, and from a top stable. He will be expected
to make an impact on his debut under Maxime Guyon. FORT ETNA (10) looks good on paper and
this daughter of Earthlight can play a lead role on debut. SILVER TOWER (14) also has a choice
profile, she is half-sister to a Group 3 / Listed Class winner and will be well-tuned on debut.
VICTORY WIND (1) will be well prepared for his debut and could make the frame.

R7 – PRIX CAMOMILLE & LES CHEVAUX (PRIX DE BIENVILLE) – 2200m (a1m1/2) – TURF – Maiden Race – Flat – EUR € 22,000

1. KOWALSKI – Showed improvement when finishing 2nd over 1900m at Deauville in a maiden on
the 19th of January 2024. Outside place chance
2. ASRIEL – No show in 7th spot over 2200m at Lyon Parilly in a maiden on the 24th of June 2024.
Unlikely to pose a threat
3. NATURAL LIGHT – Finished 3rd over 2400m at Vichy in a maiden on the 26th of May 2024.
Could outrun odds
4. GOLD NUGGET – Well beaten into 5th spot over 2000m at Compiegne in a maiden event on the
31st of May 2024. Would be a surprise winner
5. MR L’APOTHICAIRE – Finished 3rd just behind a reopposing rival over 2000m at Compiegne in
a maiden on the 12th of June 2024. Should be involved at the finish
6. QUYSSAS – Poor effort in 16th spot over 1800m at Clairefontaine on the 28th of June 2024.
Would be a shock winner
7. LIKASA – Runner up behind what could be a smart sort in the making over 2000m at Compiegne
on the 12th of June 2024. Strong winning chance
8. SELEMIAH – Finished 3rd behind a reopposing rival over 2400m at Dieppe on the 14th of June
2024. Minor money chance at best
9. HAUTEVILLE – Comfortably held in 6th position over 2300m at Angers in a maiden on the 20th
of June 2024. Others make more appeal
10. DSCHINGIS JOY – Finished 2nd over 2400m at Dieppe on the 14th of June 2024. Can run into
the money
11. QUEENFLEUR – No show in 10th spot over 2000m at Compiegne in a maiden on the 31st of
May 2024. Others make more appeal

maiden on the 24th of May 2024. Big runner
13. GRAND STARS – Finished 4th over 2100m at Chantilly in a maiden on the 29th of April 2024.
Can run into the money

Will need to do more to feature
15. BRODURE – Finished 7th over 2400m at Dieppe in a maiden race on the 14th of June 2024.
One to pass by
16. GLORY NIGHT – Dam won twice on the flat over 1400m & 1600m. This filly is likely to need a
few runs before shaping up.

Summary: IN MY LIFE (12) made a pleasing introduction to racing and the step up in trip looks set
to suit her down to the ground. She is one of the leading lights. LIKASA (7) was a clear second on
debut but would have tightened up with that run under the belt and will make her presence felt in a
big way. MR L’APOTHICAIRE (5) was 1.5L behind Likasa on debut and is 2kgs worse off at the
weights but can place. GRAND STARS (13) showed promise on debut and should make good
improvement on that.

R8 – GRAND PRIX DU LION D’ANGERS (PRIX ROBERT DE CHOLET) – 2000m (a1m1/4) – TURF – Class 1 Race – Flat – EUR € 30,000

1. MAGIC MIKE – 4th last time in a Class 1 race at Parislongchamp over 1600m on May 30th. Can
make the frame at nice odds
2. CONTENTIOUS SOUL – Unplaced last time, 4th before that over 1600m in a Class 2 race at Le
Mans on April 23rd. Hard to ignore
3. MENDRISIO – 4th last time in a Class 2 race at Nantes over 2200m on May 30th and a win
before that in April in a maiden race. Has place claims
4. DRUMARD – He has won his last two runs, the latter over 1950m in a Class 3 race on May 30th.
The hat trick is not insurmountable. In the mix
5. APOLINO – Unplaced last time, won before that at Angers in a maiden over 2100m on May 21st.
Has work to do
6. HAPPY DAYS – 3rd last time over 1900m in a Class 2 race at Chantilly on January 13th. Might
be in need of this run after a layoff

June 13th. She is getting better with racing and can score again

rate higher

June 2nd and had solid form before that. Player

Summary: DAZZLING JEWEL (7) has won her last two runs, the latter over 2000m at Strasbourg
in a Class 3 on June 13th. She is getting better and can score again. CORNELIENNE (9) looks like
the main danger, she was a good second last time in a Class 2 race at Dax on June 2nd and had
solid form before that. DRUMARD (4) is the each-way play, he has won his last two runs, the latter
over 1950m in a Class 3 race on May 30th. The hat trick is not insurmountable. CONTENTIOUS
SOUL (2) heads the remainder.

1. NEKOLETO – Has four unplaced runs this year, the latter over 2100m in a Class 3 race on April
14th. Out of form and best avoided
2. ZAUR – 3rd last time over 2400m in a Class 4 race on June 23rd. Not the most reliable
3. ALATHEA – Two unplaced runs of late, 4th before that over 1600m at Angers in a Class 4 race
on May 4th. Place chance
4. VALENTINO – Unplaced last time, won before that over 2400m in a Class 3 handicap on June
15th, 2023. Might need this run having been off since July 2023
5. GALIK – Has five unplaced runs, since a win on the PSF on February 9th in a claiming race over
1700m. Hard to fancy
6. LUNATICOS – Unplaced last time, 4th before that over 1600m at Nantes in a Class 3 handicap
on June 18th. One to keep safe
7. ANOBE – Won three runs ago over 1600m at Royan in a Class 4 race on April 7th. Merits
consideration

key player
9. KER WELEN – a nice third at Nantes last time over 1600m on June 18th. He can be on the
premises
10. CRISALSA – Unplaced on the last two runs, won before that over 1800m in a Class 4 handicap
on April 24th. Others make more appeal
11. PLOTINUS – Gets in at the foot of the handicap after a good fourth last time at Les Sables over
1950m on July 2nd. Ought to feature

Summary: FAYONA (8) was a good second last time over 1950m in a Class 3 handicap on June
3rd. She looks to be a key player. Her biggest danger is PLOTINUS (11) who gets in at the foot of
the handicap after a good fourth last time at Les Sables over 1950m on July 2nd. KER WELEN (9)
is also racing off a good weight and was a nice third at Nantes last time over 1600m on June 18th.
ALATHEA (3) heads the remainder.

rate higher
2. OASINA – 3rd last time over 1700m in a maiden race on April 14th. Ought to be in the shake-up
3. C COMME CA – Fair 3rd last time over 1800m in a Class 3 race at Morlaix on June 16th. Hard
to rule out
4. AERODYNAMIC – Can score on his handicap debut after a good second last time in a Class 3
race at Angers on June 20th over 1350m. Solid player
5. MARA WOOD – Three unplaced runs since winning over 2100m at Pornichet on January 27th
in a maiden. Opposable
6. BAILEYS TOPAZE – Two unplaced runs of late, 3rd before that in a handicap at Pornichet on
January 7th. Looks vulnerable
7. GERBERA – Unplaced last time, won before that over 1200m at Agen on May 9th in a maiden.
Can figure
8. MARILLAWOOD – Decent 3rd at Angers in the same race that AERODYNAMIC (4) was 2nd in
on June 20th over 1350m. Can make presence felt
9. IRAJA – 7th last time in a maiden race at Angers when showing promise over 1350m on June
20th. Consider each-way
10. BAILEYS VITESSE – Unplaced last time, won before that over 1400m in a handicap at Chantilly
on April 15th. In the mix
11. PICANES – Four unplaced runs this year, the latter over 1400m on June 7th in a claimer. Makes
no appeal
12. LA BONITA – Won last time in late June over 1700m in a Class 4 event at La-Roche-Posay.
More is needed in a better race
13. SOVER FAL – Three unplaced runs of late, one of them this year at Pornichet over 1700m on
January 7th in a handicap. Can be avoided
14. BAKHILOVA – Four unplaced runs of late, 3rd before that over 1200m in a claimer on March
25th. Looks safely held

Summary: AERODYNAMIC (4) will be expected to score on his handicap debut after a good
second last time in a Class 3 race at Angers on June 20th over 1350m. He is preferred to
MARILLAWOOD (8) who was third last time in the same race and was only narrowly beaten by the
selection that day. OASINA (2) looks like a good option for the each-way backers to latch on to.
More can be expected of IRAJA (9) on her debut in a handicap.

claims

Others rate higher
4. KIZMAMBO – Unplaced last time at Dieppe over 1100m in a Class 3 handicap on June 14th.
Makes limited appeal
5. LIGHT WAKEUP – 5th last time over 1600m at Nantes on June 18th in a Class 2 handicap.
Ought to be in the shake-up
6. CITY OF HOPE – 5th last time, won before that was over 1300m in a Class 3 handicap on June
6th. Can be a threat
7. VIOU – Nice third last time over 1400m at La Teste in a Class 3 handicap on June 28th and can
make his presence felt
8. JUST IN TIME GAME – Decent second two starts ago over 1600m at Saint-Cloud in a Class 3
handicap. He is the each-way must.

on May 18th. Needs a few to falter

on July 5th. Looks out of form and best watched
12. DANDY COOL – Four unplaced runs of late, 4th before that over 1400m in a Class 4 race on
May 9th. Looks safely held
13. LA FLACA – Has several unplaced runs this year, the latest over 1350m in a Class 4 handicap
at Angers on June 20th. Hard to recommend

3 handicap on June 28th and can make his presence felt. JUST IN TIME GAME (8) was a decent
second two starts ago over 1600m at Saint-Cloud in a Class 3 handicap. He is the each-way must.
