1. SAUVIAC – Unplaced last time, 3rd before that over 2500m at Argentan on June 5th. Others
preferred
2. DIYACITY – 6th on the sole start over 2900m at Sennones on July 6th. Best watched for now
3. RAGNAR CITY – Has two fifth-placed efforts in maiden races, the latest at Angers over 2300m
on June 20th. Each way angle
4. DSCHINGIS JOY – Has shown talent in her first two races, and although below par last time
when unplaced over 2200m at Clairefontaine on July 11th, a better run can be expected
5. LILLY LUX – 4th last time over 1950m in a maiden on June 3rd at this track. One to pay attention
too
6. LADYSHOW – Three unplaced runs of late, the latter over 2300m in a handicap on July 6th.
Hard to fancy
7. SOLITE – A nice third last time over 3000m at Saint-Cloud on June 4th. Has leading claims of
being involved
8. DAMOU – Newcomer by Gleneagles, from a respected trainer. Monitor the betting for any support

Summary: DSCHINGIS JOY (4) has shown talent in her first two races, and although below par
last time when unplaced over 2200m at Clairefontaine on July 11th, she is the selection ahead of
SOLITE (7) who was a nice third last time over 3000m at Saint-Cloud on June 4th. RAGNAR CITY
(3) is the one to latch on to each way after two fifth-placed efforts in maiden races, the latest at
Angers. LILLY LUX (5) is also worth a mention.

SELECTIONS
DSCHINGIS JOY (4) – SOLITE (7) – RAGNAR CITY (3) – LILLY LUX (5)

R2 – PRIX DE BON ABRI – 1950m (a1m1/4) – TURF – Class 4 Race – Flat – EUR € 16,000

1. COW BOY – Three unplaced runs since a win over 2150m in a Class 3 handicap on January
29th. Might find a few of these too smart
2. KAWARETH – Fair 3rd two runs ago over 2000m in a Class 3 handicap on May 12th and a
winner in April of a Class 4 race. Player
3. ODEMAR – Three unplaced runs since a 2nd placed effort over 2000m at Fontainebleau on
March 25th. Has work to do
4. PRINCE OF DAWN – Good third last time over 2000m in a Class 3 handicap 7 days ago. He will
not lack fitness and can score
5. KHAMEPHIS GAME – Unplaced on the sole run this year over 2000m in a Class 3 race at
Chantilly on June 16th. Not the most reliable
6. DALAKHOV – Three unplaced runs of late, the latest over 2900m in a Class 4 race at Argentan
on June 5th. Pass over
7. SEE THE LIGHT – 2nd three runs back over 2150m in a Class 4 race on the PSF on April 6th.
One to keep safe
8. RECOLETTY – Unplaced last time, 4th before that over 1900m in a Class 3 race on January
25th on the PSF. Others rate higher
9. SAMBA – 5th two runs ago over 2000m in a Class 3 handicap on June 17th at Saint-Cloud. One
to keep safe

Summary: PRINCE OF DAWN (4) was a good third last time over 2000m in a Class 3 handicap 7
days ago. He will not lack fitness and can score. SEE THE LIGHT (7) looks like the main danger.
He was a decent second three runs back over 2150m in a Class 4 race on the PSF on April 6th
and ought to be competitive in this. KAWARETH (2) is the one to take seriously from an each-way
perspective. SAMBA (9) warrants respect and is one to consider.

SELECTIONS
PRINCE OF DAWN (4) – SEE THE LIGHT (7) – KAWARETH (2) – SAMBA (9)

R3 – PRIX DE PORNICHET – 1950m (a1m1/4) – TURF – Maiden Race – Flat – EUR € 17,000

1. RAIMONDIN – He was fifth last time over 3000m at Saint-Cloud on June 4th when looking like
he did not stay the trip. He can feature over today’s 1950m journey
2. SHIRBAWI – 4th last time over 1600m at Nantes on July 3rd in a maiden race. Ought to be on
the premises
3. RAISON GARDEE – 4th last time over 2300mat Angers on June 20th in a maiden on her second
run. She can improve and is one to keep safe
4. ESTELLA MOBRAY – Three unplaced runs so far, the latter over 1600m at Nantes on July 3rd.
Hard to recommend
5. WEDGEWOOD PEARL – Two unplaced runs of late, 2nd before that over 1900m at Deauville
on February 3rd in a maiden race. Needs to bounce back to form
6. ALCALA – 6th last time showing talent over 2000m at Chantilly on June 20th. Can make
presence felt
7. STARS AND AWAY – Nice 3rd last time over 2000m at Toulouse on June 19th in a maiden race.
Live chance of scoring
8. SIJOUX – 5th on the sole run so far over 1800m at Clairefontaine on June 28th. Should improve
and be involved
9. INTELLITA – Two unplaced runs of late, 2nd before that over 2000m at Le Lion D’Angers on
May 23rd in a handicap. Opposable
10. TROIDABE – Newcomer by Dabirsim, stable runners tend to need a run or two. Monitor the
betting for clues
11. LEITIGIM – Unraced filly by Magneticjim, stable runners warrant respect. Watch the betting for
any market influence
12. SACRED FIRE – Newcomer by Fantastic Moon, the dam won on the flat. Will likely improve a
good deal for this outing. Any market support should be noted

Summary: STARS AND AWAY (7) was a nice third last time over 2000m at Toulouse on June 19th
in a maiden race. She has a live chance of scoring. RAIMONDIN (1) will try to make life difficult for
the selection. He was fifth last time over 3000m at Saint-Cloud on June 4th when looking like he
did not stay the trip. He can feature over today’s 1950m journey. SHIRBAWI (2) is also one to pay
attention to after a credible fourth at Nantes 13 days ago. ALCALA (6) looks best of the rest.

R4 – PRIX EDOUARD POURET – 1950m (a1m1/4) – TURF – Class 4 Divided Handicap – Flat – EUR € 15,000

1. ILATRAYA – She was sixth last time at Senonnes in a Class 4 race 10 days ago over 2300m in
a Class 4 handicap. Down in the weight and a player

handicap on June 13th. In the mix

involved

September 24th. Hardly inspiring

6. LE GITAN – Won two runs ago over 2000m in a Class 4 handicap on June 9th. Among the
leading chances
7. CASHFORPASSOVER – Two unplaced runs of late, 4th before that over 3000m in a Class 3
handicap on May 16th. Looks vulnerable
8. ONCLE FERNAND – Three unplaced runs since a win over 1900m in a Class 4 handicap at
Chantilly on May 11th. Others preferred

on March 29th. Needs to get back on track
10. NATHEPOLO – Unplaced on the sole run this year, that was over 1800m in a Class 4 handicap
on June 28th. Hard to recommend
11. AL RASSOUL – Has six unplaced runs this year, the latter over 1950m at Les Sables in a Class
4 handicap on July 2nd. Opposable
12. SEMEUR – Nice 2nd two starts ago in a Class 4 race at Saint-Cloud in late June and is worth
considering.
13. PRINCESS LAURA – Has several unplaced runs, but is capable of making the top four, the
latest run was over 1950m at Les Sables on July 2nd. Consider
14. BELLA CIAO – 6th last time was over 1950m in a Class 4 handicap at Les sables on July 2nd.
Can make the frame
15. FALIMAX – Has several unplaced runs this year, the latter over 1600m in a Class 4 handicap
at Nantes on July 3rd. Best avoided

Summary: ILATRAYA (1) is worth taking a chance on in this open handicap. She was sixth last
time at Senonnes in a Class 4 race 10 days ago but has been eased the weights since.
RONCHEROLLES (2) was a good second two runs ago over 2000m at Strasbourg in a Class 4
handicap on June 13th. She can make her rivals work hard for success. SEMEUR (12) was second
two starts ago in a Class 4 race at Saint-Cloud in late June and is worth considering. BELLA CIAO
(14) makes up the shortlist.

R5 – PRIX #RACEANDCARE (PRIX FRANCE GALOP) – 1950m (a1m1/4) – TURF – Class 4 Divided Handicap – Flat – EUR € 17,000

1. LA PELEMOISE – On a long losing run and was third last time out in a Claimer at
ParisLongchamp over 2000m on 4 July. Place chance at best
2. DELTA SPIRIT – Disappointing last run when 12th in a handicap at Nantes over 1600m on 18
June. In good form before that and can bounce back to score
3. CANNELLO – Unreliable but was a winner of a handicap last time out at Les Sables-d’Olonne
over 1850m on 2 July. Can follow up if in the same mood
4. BOOGIE – Unreliable and was 9th last time out in a handicap at Saint-Cloud over 2100m on 21
June. Capable of better and has a winning chance
5. BY THE WAY – In fair form and was 5th last time out in a handicap at Les Sables-d’Olonne over
1950m on 2 July. Has a place chance
6. SAKARI – Has really struggled of late and was tenth last time out in a handicap at Les Sablesd’Olonne over 1950m on 2 July. Best watched for now
7. AINTREEGIRL – Unreliable but was not disgraced when fourth in a handicap at Nantes over
1600m on 3 July. Can earn some minor money
8. DESPACITO – Did not show his best when tenth in a handicap at Nantes over 1600m on 3 July.
Needs to find a few lengths to win
9. ZELZEFYR – Has struggled of late and was well beaten last time out in a handicap at Deauville
over 1900m on 6 July, Did better earlier this year and could surprise
10. KOULIKOFF – Unreliable and was 12th last time out in a handicap at ParisLongchamp over
1600m on 20 June. Won his penultimate start but others are preferred
11. REBEL REBEL – Holding form and was fourth last time out in a handicap at ClairefontaineDeauville over 1800m on 28 June. Should contest the finish again
12. IN THE ARMY NOW – Yet to win a race and was 12th last time out in a handicap at Les Sablesd’Olonne over 1950m on 2 July. Needs major improvement to win
13. MARANADO – Battling to regain winning form and was 7th last time out in a handicap at
Deauville over 1900m on 6 July. Could play a minor role
14. HEY MAN – In good form and was a winner of a handicap last time out at Les Sables-d’Olonne
over 1950m on 2 July, Carries a penalty for that win but if not out of it
15. ROCHEUX – Has lost his way of late and was 12th last time out in a handicap at
ParisLongchamp over 2250m on 4 July. Capable of better but others are preferred

Summary: A very open-looking handicap. BOOGIE (4) is down one kilo from a fair last
performance and could pick up a win in a race like this. REBEL REBEL (11) is holding form well
and should contest the finish yet again. DELTA SPIRIT (2) is clearly a lot better than the last run
would suggest and would not be a surprise winner. CANNELLO (3) won nicely last time out but is
unreliable.

had good form of late, second last time over 2000m in a handicap at Marseille Borely on June 14th
and a winner in May of a Class 3 race. She can not be overlooked. INSTANTANEMENT (10) has

Consider

Summary: LOVELY ANGEL (3) should score in this after a good win last time over 1300m in a
Class 3 race at Le Touquet on July 1st. HERA (9) looks like a threat, she was a decent second at
Marseille Borely when last seen on June 21st over 1200m. WAZIERS (15) looks like the best option
each way. She was a pleasing third last time at Saint-Cloud in a Class 3 race on June 11th.
