Race Preview

C1 – PRIX VINCENT DE GOURNAY – 1600m (a1m) – TURF – Class 2 Race – Flat – EUR € 27,000

1. SUPIDO – Good 3rd in a Listed race last time over 1400m at Vichy on July 17th. Should be too
good for his rivals
2. BURN TO SHINE – Won last time at this track over 1600m in a maiden race on July 15th.
Ought to be in the shake-up
3. OUT OF AFRICA – Fair 3rd last time in a Class 2 race at Le Lion D’Angers on July 11th after a
win on debut in June. Can make presence felt
4. OUTRENOIR – 3rd in a maiden last time at Vittel on July 25th on his third start. Others make
more appeal
5. SANS REGRETS HEM – Two unplaced runs so far, the latter of them over 1600m at this track
on July 15th. Looks safely held
6. MISTYSEA – Fair 4th in a Class 2 race at Saint-Cloud on June 30th when last racing. In the
mix

Summary: SUPIDO (1) ran a good race when stepped up in grade when he was third at Vichy in
a Listed race in mid-July. The slight step up in trip should also be to his liking. He can score from
OUT OF AFRICA (3) who has shown plenty of ability in both her runs. BURN TO SHINE (2) was
given a good ride by his jockey when scoring at this track in mid-July, he has the same man on
top and can feature. MISTYSEA (6) is also worth a mention.

SUPIDO (1) – OUT OF AFRICA (3) – BURN TO SHINE (2) – MISTYSEA (6)

C2 – PRIX DE LA SOCIETE DES COURSES DE NANTES – 2500m (a1m1/2) – TURF – Class 3 Race – Flat – EUR € 15,000

1. TWENTY SEVEN JET – Won over this track and trip last time in a Class 3 race on July 24th.
Capable of following up
2. ARTUS THE BRAVE – Unplaced on the last two runs, won before that on his debut at Morlaix
in a maiden over 2600m on May 12th. Should not be ignored
3. L’INITIE – Unplaced last time, 4th before that over 2500m in a claimer at this track on July 15th
at this track. Others rate higher
4. MADGIC’M – UNplaced last time, won before that over 2400m at Saint-Brieuc on March 10th in
a claiming race. Opposable
5. MEISHO BONHEUR – Fair 3rd over course and distance last time in a handicap on July 15h.
Holds a leading chance

Summary: TWENTY SEVEN JET (1) won over course and distance last time in late July. He will
be fit and a bold show can be expected. MEISHO BONHEUR (5) ran well over track and trip last
time and will make her rivals work hard for the win. ARTUS THE BRAVE (2) has been in good
class races on his latest two runs when out of the money. If producing his debut run when he
won, he can not be overlooked and can have a say in proceedings.

C3 – PRIX JULIEN BROSSAIS – 2500m (a1m1/2) – TURF – Maiden Race – Flat – EUR € 13,000

1. ROCKMAR – Showed talent when 5th on his debut over 2600m at Morlaix on his only start on
March 24th. Among the leading chances
2. AKENATOR – Two unplaced runs of late, 3rd before that over 2400m at Craon on June 10th in
a Class 4 handicap. Others rate higher
3. ALEX THE DANCER – Won last time over 3800m at Erbray in a claiming hurdle on July 7th.
Has claims of making the frame
4. DREAM MESSANGER – Two unplaced runs of late, 3rd over 3800m at Saint-Brieuc over
hurdles before that on March 3rd. Ran 3rd on the only flat run last September. Opposable
5. SING – 5th on his sole start over 3400m at Dieppe on July 13th. Drops back in trip this time and
has an each-way chance
6. ALPHA SPIRIT – Two unplaced runs recently, the latter over 1700m at Granville on July 15th
in a Class 4 race. Hard to fancy
7. SEA GARDENS – Fair 4th over 2400m in a Class 3 race on July 22nd. Should be fitter for that
return run and can not be discounted
8. MR GABRIEL – 4th two runs back over 2600m in a Class 4 race at Plestin on July 14th. Place
chance
9. PINTXOPOTE – Unplaced last time, 3rd before that over 2600m in a Class 4 race at
Pompadour on July 7th. In the mix
10. DALAKHOV – Has four unplaced runs of late, the latter over 2100m in a Class 4 handicap at
Senonnes on August 3rd. Unlikely to be a threat
11. KALEO SALSA – Promising 3rd on her debut at Granville over 2400m on July 15th. She will
be sharper for that run and is a key player
12. DONA JUANA – Has four unplaced runs so far, all last year, with the latest over 2900m at
Durtal on December 17th in a Class 4 race. Can be overlooked

Summary: KALEO SALSA (11) was a pleasing third on her debut last month. She will improve
from that experience and can play a lead role in this. SEA GARDENS (7) has plenty of race
experience and could be the main danger to the selection. ROCKMAR (1) showed talent on his
only run at Morlaix in March and should be on the premises with improvement expected. SING (5)
heads the remainder.

C4 – PRIX ALAIN LEQUEUX – 1800m (a1m1/8) – TURF – Class 4 Handicap – Flat – EUR € 18,000

1. DSCHINGIS GALI – Has five unplaced runs since a win over 1600m at Pau on January 12th in
a Class 3 handicap. Others in better from
2. CALYPSO – Won over 1600m in a Class 4 race last time at Rochefort-Sur-Loire on July 21st.
Can be involved
3. DRIMYS – Unplaced last time, 2nd before that over 1800m at Morlaix in a Class 4 race on
March 24th. Needs more to feature
4. AMERICANO – Unplaced last time, 2nd before that over 1900m in a Class 3 race at Deauville
on July 6th. One to keep safe
5. JIEPIES MELODY – Won a Class 3 handicap over 1600m at Compiegne last time on July 12th.
One to pay attention too
6. AMERICAN HOPE – Three unplaced runs of late, 2nd before that over 1600m in a Class 3
handicap at Compiegne on May 24th. Among the leading each- way options
7. SZAFRAN – Has several unplaced runs of late, the most recent over 2200m in a Class 4 race
on July 27th. Pass over
8. IANOVKA – Two unplaced runs so far this year, the latter of them over 2100m at Chantilly on
January 24th. Capable of an improved run
9. LOUGHCREW – Unplaced last time, 2nd before that over 2000m in a Class 3 handicap at
Compiegne on July 9th. Player
10. DAYSANIYA – 2nd last time over 1700m in a Class 4 race at Granville on July 15th. Might
find a few of these too smart

Summary: JIEPIES MELODY (5) was an easy winner by five lengths last time at Compiegne in
July and can defy a weight rise. Her biggest danger could be LOUGHCREW (9) who was a solid
second two runs ago at Compiegne in early July in a Class 3 handicap. AMERICAN HOPE (6)
could be a nice price and is probably the one to side with each way. CALYPSO (2)scored on his
latest start and looks the best of the remainder.

C5 – PRIX DU CHATEAU DE MIROMESNIL – 1400m (a7f) – ALL WEATHER – Claiming – Flat – EUR € 26,000

1. ARYAN DODVILLE – Showed some improvement when 4th over 1600m at Saint-Malo and can
lurk into the quartet. Include as the place value
2. EAGLE GATE – Ignore last run when 10th in a Listed race at Deauville and judge on earlier
form. Strong claims
3. MANDATORY – Has run twice and shown very little. He will need serious improvement before
being considered for the play. Pass by. No
4. BLUE HUNT – Ignore last run when 6th in a Listed race, finished 3rd over 1200m before that
and can prove a hard horse to beat in this class. Strong win
5. RETT ANGEL – Has won her last two starts and can reel off the hat trick. Her last win came at
Vichy on the 20th of July over 1400m in a Handicap. Serious chance
6. LARMES D’OR – Placed only 7th last time and will need big progression to feature. Far prefer
others. Unlikely
7. FAR BEYOND – Is still a maiden, finished 2nd over 1400m at Compiegne last time and could
be the outside place value
8. DALENDA – Finished 2nd over 1200m at Chantilly on the 29th of June in a similar race and
can feature again. Strong place chance
9. FISFUL OF LOVE – Placed 5th over 1100m at Dieppe last time in a claimer and will need to do
more for the win. Pass by

Summary: BLUE HUNT (4) has shown ability thus far and can be expected to build on her latest
run when 6th in a Listed event at Vichy. RETT ANGEL (5) is in tremendous winning form and has
a huge chance of reeling off the hat trick. EAGLE GATE (2) was clearly a little outclassed last
time and can certainly serve up better in this grade. DALENDA (8) ran a fair race last time when
2nd at Chantilly and is a must for the quartet.

C6 – PRIX FEDE. DES ELEVEURS DU GALOP (PRIX DE LA VILLA MONET) – 1300m (a6f1/2) – ALL WEATHER – Handicap – Flat – EUR € 40,000

1. TOMAKAY – Was a winner at the last start which was over 1300m at Parislongchamp and can
follow up but do prefer others. Chance
2. SKYLIGHT BROCHARD – Ran well when 2nd at Saint-Cloud on the 30th of June over 1400m
in a Handicap and can go one more. Strong chance
3. VALDIVARA – Placed 3rd over 1400m in Listed class at Deauville on the 7th of last month and
should give another good account. Bright chance
4. DURYTHME – Was a winner at penultimate run over 1400m at Compiegne and followed up
with a 6th at Parislongchamp. Outside place chance
5. ROYAL GREY – Has only raced in very strong company, finished 8th over 1200m at Deauville
last time in a Listed race and in this class, should be difficult to beat
6. BEST OF LIGHT – Finished 12th in a Listed event last time and can progress on that. Was a
winner at penultimate start. Interesting and could be some place value
7. ODONNELL’S ORCHARD – Is winning well, most recent victory was over 1200m at Marseille
Borely and can reel off the hat trick. Good chance
8. SUNNY ANGEL – Placed 3rd over 1300m last time and could be in the shake up again. Place
chance
9. ALI – Ignore last run when 12th at Parislongchamp, is capable of way better. Respect and
include in bets
10. MOUNT VERNON – Finished 7th over 1200m at Chantilly in a Group 3, is lightly raced and
could have more to offer
11. MAIZIERES – Will need to progress on recent 6th over 1300m at Deauville and can. Place
chance, but prefer others
12. PERLI CHOPE – Finished 5th over 1100m at La Teste and will need to do way more to
feature. Prefer others and can be ignored

Summary: ROYAL GREY (5) was thrown in the deep end right from the get go and has
competed mostly in very strong Group and Listed races. She now takes a considerable drop in
class and should take a power of beating. SKYLIGHT BROCHARD (2) was a winner of a Listed
race four runs back and finished an attractive 2nd last time in Handicap class. He has strong
claims. VALDIVARA (3) continues to catch the eye and certainly did when tried for the first time in
a Listed race last time. Big runner. TOMAKAY (1) knows what it takes to win races and is a must
for all bets.

C7 – PRIX CAVALASSUR (PRIX DE LA CORNICHE) – 1300m (a6f1/2) – ALL WEATHER – Handicap – Flat – EUR € 21,000

1. SOUTHERN METEOR – Placed in last two, has shown some ability and should be able to
place again. Respect and include
2. STORMYGO – Won over 1200m at Chantilly in a Handicap on the 14th of July and can follow
up. Each way chance
3. TAHINI – Won three runs back but has been on the decline since. Would be a surprise winner
and can be dismissed from all bets
4. RUN FOR HOME – Won on the 8th of last month over 1200m at Strasbourg in a Handicap and
can follow up. Good chance
5. HOUBI – Was a winner five runs back and has been holding her form since then. Last run was
at this course when finishing 5th. Good chance
6. CHIRICCO – Ignore last run, finished 5th before that over 1100m in a Handicap at La Teste
and is the one to fear the most. Win
7. FINIMONDO – Current form has been on the decline over various distances and others will be
far the stronger. Pass by
8. INTUITION – Scope to build on recent run when 4th over 1400m at Clairefontaine in a
Handicap. Place chance at best
9. LOLLIPOP STAR – She is lightly raced and has yet to show any scope for the future. In saying
that, she can certainly start improving
10. BAKHILOVA – Won on the 25th of July at Vittel over 1300m and has every chance of
following up. Big runner
11. INITIALS BEBE – Finished 8th over 1400m last time but before that never shone. More
needed and can be ignored
12. RUMPLETEAZER – Attractive effort last time when 2nd over 1300m at Vittel. Place chance
and can be factored into most bets

Summary: CHIRICCO (6) can be forgiven for his last dismal run and judged on better earlier
form. He is more than capable of winning a race like this. HOUBI (5) is never far off the winners
and caught the eye in the penultimate run. Strong each way claims. BAKHILOVA (10) comes into
the race fresh off a victory at Vittel and can follow up. SOUTHERN METEOR (1) has a strong
place chance. The maiden win should be soon.

C8 – PRIX PARIS TURF (PRIX DU CHATEAU DE BOSMELET) – 1900m (a1m1/4) – ALL WEATHER – Class 3 Claiming – Flat – EUR € 26,000

1. AUSTRALIAN SPRING – Finished 7th over 1907m in Poland last time and more than likely will
need a run or two to tighten up here in France. No
2. COSMAS – Last run a worry, was a winner before that over 1900m at Deauville. Returns from
a long rest and should need. Pass by
3. ARDITO – Needs to seriously improve on current dismal form before being considered for any
bets and would be a shock winner. Unlikely
4. CENTRAL PARK WEST – Holding form, finished 3rd over 1600m at La Teste last time and can
get much closer. Good each way
5. HASTY SAILOR – Placed 3rd over 2400m in a competitive Handicap at Lyon La Soie but back
in March. Can run fresh and can run well
6. LORENZO DE MEDICI – Finished 4th over 2400m at Chantilly four races ago but has been
very disappointing since. Hard to assess
7. INDIAN PACIFIC – Ignore last dismal effort, finished 3rd before that over 2000m in a Handicap
and can be expected to fight out the finish. Chance
8. BAKHCHISARAY – Won penultimate, finished 2nd over 1850m at Vichy on the 18th of July in
a similar class race and can go one more. Win.
9. BELAFONTE – Placed 5th over 1850m at Vichy last month in a Handicap and could be some
place value. Include
10. DEL CIELO – Her last two efforts are a concern, but has shown some spark before. Hard to
assess but far prefer others. No
11. HONGUEMARE – Will need to put the last run when 11th at Chantilly behind her and if
running like she did in her penultimate, can place
12. MUELHEIMER PERLE – Boasts a recent win at Vichy over 1850m in a claiming race and has
every chance to follow up. Big runner

Summary: BAKHCHISARAY (8) is in mustard form currently having notched up a victory in his
penultimate and a encouraging 2nd thereafter. He is the firm first choice. CENTRAL PARK WEST
(4) is holding attractive form and can get much closer than his recent 3rd at La Teste. He has
strong each way claims. MUELHEIMER PERLE (12) won last time out and if were to follow up, it
would be no shock at all.

C9 – PRIX ASSOCIATION DES JOCKEYS (PRIX DE BOUQUETOT) – 1300m (a6f1/2) – ALL WEATHER – Class 3 Divided Handicap – Flat – EUR € 22,000

1. IDEE DE CHEVAL – No type of run in 14th spot over 1000m at Vichy in a Class 3 divided
handicap on the 19th of July 2024. Unlikely to play a role
2. VENES – Finished 8th over 1400m at Vichy in a Class 4 claimer on the 22nd of July 2024.
Others make more appeal
3. GIORGIANA – Winner over 1100m at Saint-Malo in a Class 4 limited handicap on the 15th of
July 2024. Include in the play
4. EUREKA – Poor effort in 9th spot over 1300m at Le-Touquet in a Class 3 on the 1st of July
2024. Faces an uphill task
5. THE TIME – Solid effort in 3rd position over 1400m at Vichy in a Class 3 divided handicap on
the 16th of July 2024. Should run well
6. INDYCO – Held in 9th spot over 1400m at Vichy in a Class 3 divided handicap on the 16th of
July 2024. Could be a factor off current mark
7. SHAMYA – No show in 8th spot over 1400m at Deauville in a Class 3 divided handicap on the
30th of July 2024. One to pass by
8. PINK VALENTINE – Well beaten in 14th position over 1400m at Deauville in a Class 3 divided
handicap on the 30th of July 2024. Would be a surprise winner
9. IRISHKAMAYA – Runner up over 1400m at Deauville in a Class 3 divided handicap on the
30th of July 2024. Should go close
10. MOON RIDER – Finished 15th over 1600m at Compiegne in a Class 3 divided handicap on
the 22nd of July 2024. Would be a surprise winner
11. RED NUDE ROUGE – Finished 4th behind a reopposing sort over 1100m at Saint-Malo in a
Class 4 limited handicap on the 15th of July 2024. Place chance

July 2024. Include in all bets
14. ZIPPERE – Finished 4th over 1600m at Rochefort-Sur-Loire in a Class 4 on the 21st of July
2024. Makes very little appeal
15. POLIVATE – Runner up over 1100m at La Teste in a Class 4 course qualifier on the 22nd of
July 2024. Place claims
16. KAKHOVKA – No show in 12th position over 1400m at Chantilly in a Class 3 divided
handicap on the 2nd of July 2024. Likely to remain a maiden after this

Summary: INDYCO (6) doesn’t jump off the page as a likely winner but he’s dropped a great deal
in the ratings and could be ready to bounce back to some of his better form and is worth an each
way play. IRISHKAMAYA (9) has produced two encouraging efforts and seems likely to return to
winning ways soon. GIORGIANA (3) won over slightly shorter last but has the right credentials to
be a threat once again. THE TIME (5) has been model of consistency and should deliver another
big run.

handicap on the 22nd of July 2024. Place chance
9. PUSHKIN – Positive effort in 3rd over 1600m at Clairefontaine in a maiden on the 2nd of
August 2023. May need come back run
10. VIOU – Finished close up in 5th over 1400m at Deauville in a Class 3 divided handicap on the
30th of July 2024. Each way claims
11. FUEGO DEL AMOR – Finished a pleasing 3rd over 1600m at Compiegne in a Class 3 divided
handicap on the 22nd of July 2024. Big runner
12. SAREFFA – Very poor run 8th over 1600m at Rochefort-Sur-Loire in a Class 4 on the 21st of

handicap on the 22nd of July 2024. Would be a surprise winner
15. FARAHNAZ – Beaten out of sight in 7th over 2000m at Compiegne in a Class 2 on the 12th of
July 2024. Unlikely to win here
16. LUNALA – Weak run in 8th position over 1600m at Chantilly in a Class 3 course qualifier on
the 29th of June 2024. Easy to look elsewhere

Summary: MATT MACHINE (3) jumps from a good draw and brings some solid form to the table.
He will be suited to the conditions of the race and will be a major player. FUEGO DEL AMOR (11)
is getting closer to another victory and with Mikael Barzalona in the saddle, he demands the
outmost of respect. VIOU (10) just needs to repeat his latest outing and he will be involved at the
finish. SASSICA (13) drops significantly in class and can bounce back to some of her best form.

the 5th of November 2022. Would be a shock winner

Summary: PRESCY LIIA (6) bounced back to form with a cracking run and looks poised to
deliver another big run with Mikael Barzalona in the irons. FALWUKAIR LAUJAC (11) wasn’t far
off victory last time out and meets the top pick on exactly the same weight terms so there
shouldn’t be much to choose between the two. ILLUSTRE BERE (1) doesn’t win very often but is
seldom far off them and can run into the money. CASHFORPASSOVER (13) slots in with a very
light galloping weight which could see him returning to form.

2024. Big runner

Summary: SHAMASUN (11) has returned to form and looks ready to win again. She meets the
right type of field and is the one to beat. VALENTO (16) slots in with bottom weight and could go
one better on his latest outing. HIS PRIDE (13) is always there or thereabouts and should run
another consistent race. SHINING AL DANAH (1) has to concede weight all round but has the
type of form to be competitive.
