Race Preview

C1 – PRIX SAINT-POURCAIN-SUR-SIOULE – 1400m (a7f) – TURF – Class 4 Race – Flat – EUR € 14,000

1. VEGA DREAM – Current form has been on the decline over various distances and would be a
shock winner. Happy to ignore
2. RED TORCH – Has won 10 races, finished 5th over 1300m in most recent starts and can never
be ignored. Good chance
3. LORLISALSA – Was a winner four races back but has been disappointing thereafter. Will need
to improve on recent form to feature. Pass by
4. I DARE – Running well, won penultimate start, finished 3rd over 1300m at Vittel in a Handicap.
Strong each way chance
5. GALILEE DREAM – Very good last effort when 2nd over 1400m at Lion D’Angers in a
Handicap on the 26th of last month. Can go one more
6. WHEEL OF CHANCE – Can build on latest 8th placing over 1600m in a Handicap at this
course to get much closer. Place chance
7. EL MANSOUR – Hard to fancy on current dismal form and would be a shock winner. Finished
15th last time. No
8. TOPINAMBUR – Only managed 12th place last time over 1400m at this track in a Handicap
and others should be much the stronger. No
9. SCHWENDI – Placed 3rd over 1800m in a claimer at Dieppe on the 29th of July and can get
much closer today. Bright win chance
10. VENTURA VISION – Placed 4th over 1400m at this track last time in a weak claiming race
and can earn again. First four chance

Summary: SCHWENDI (9) is a long time, professional maiden but did show last time when 3rd
over 1800m at Dieppe that the victory could be near. I DARE (4) was a winner at her penultimate
start and followed that up with a solid performance at Vittel. She has strong each way claims.
GALILEE DREAM (5) has competed only 7 times so far and ran well in defeat last time. She can
go one better. WHEEL OF CHANCE (6) is a must for the first four positions.

C2 – PRIX DE PIONSAT – 1400m (a7f) – TURF – Claiming – Flat – EUR € 12,500

1. NUIT DE L’HOMME – Placed five from five and should go very close to winning. Last run was
over 1600m in a similar race. Big chance
2. YOUNG AND PROUD – Seems progressive and has some ability. Finished 2nd over 1600m in
a claimer at this track on the 24th of last month and is confidently selected to win
3. TERREMANA – Ignore last run when 7th over 1400m at this track and judge on penultimate
when 4th over 1200m. Strong chance
4. FALY CHOP – Has not shown very much just yet and will need to improve plenty for the win.
Prefer others
5. JACQUEMINE – Finished 7th over 1200m at Pompadour last time out and needs to improve a
lot to feature. Happy to ignore
6. TAVULLIA – She finished 4th over 1400 in Handicap class at this track and could be the value
for the minor places
7. CALA BONITA – Will need to progress on recent 7th place at Dax over 1200m and can.
Respect and include
8. SAITAMA – Would be a shock result if finishing in the first four. Can be dismissed from all bets.
No
9. MOLENE’K – Finished only 12th on debut over 1400m at Dax in a weak claiming race. Hard to
make a case for. No
10. ABBESSES – Improved to place 5th over 1600m in second start and can serve up more.
Good chance
11. READY TO GO – Is lightly raced and showing some spark but will need serious improvement
for the win. Outside place chance at best
12. BOMBONERA – Ignore last run, finished 3rd over 1200m in a claimer before that and can
give a good account of herself. Chance

Summary: YOUNG AND PROUD (2) is lightly raced and showing some spark. He is a one time
winner already and has notched up several places. He seems progressive and could be tough to
oppose. NUIT DE L’HOMME (1) has run five times for five places and must be followed. The first
win is near. TERRE MANA (3) can be expected to do way more than he did last time and has a
strong place chance. ABBESSES (10) improved at the second run and can improve more. A must
for all bets.

C3 – PRIX DE MONTLUCON – 1400m (a7f) – TURF – Handicap – Flat – EUR € 20,000

1. GERBERA – Finished 2nd over 1400m in a competitive Handicap at Clairefontaine on the 27th
of July and can go one more. Good chance
2. PRINCESSE COLUMBIA – Placed 3rd over 1800m in her penultimate run and has fair overall
form. Should be in the mix and has a good chance
3. IMEDARA – Has not shown very much thus far, might still improve but far prefer others for the
shortlist. No
4. LOVECAYAN – Current form has been on the decline over various distances and is therefore
hard to make a case for. No
5. KYLOA – Won her last start which was over 1600m at Chatillon on the 10th of June and can
follow up. Respect
6. BAILEYS ILLUSION – Finished 5th over 1400m in a Handicap at Clairefontaine on the 27th of
July but will need to improve off that to feature. Unlikely
7. OVER CHOPE – Finished 3rd over 1600m in a weak claiming race at this track last month but
can place again. Chance
8. TIERCEVILLE – Is in good form, finished 2nd over 1600m in a Handicap at this track on the
31st of last month and should be hard to beat. Win
9. BAIGNADE – Lightly raced, can build on recent 7th over 1400m at Clairefontaine but do prefer
others. Happy to ignore
10. MIZ SWEET – Will need to progress on latest 5th over 1600m at this track and would be a
shock winner. Be with others
11. GALGAN – Placed only 9th over 1850m at Hyeres last time and has not got much form to
speak about. Pass by

Summary: TIERCEVILLE(8) boasts attractive form and competed in competitive Handicaps in
her last two starts. She finished 2nd over 1600m in late July at this venue and could be very hard
to beat. GERBERA (1) is knocking loudly at the door having finished 2nd in her last two and has a
huge chance of going one more. PRINCESSE COLUMBIA (2) is one for the shortlist and should
be in the first four. KYLOA (5) comes into the race fresh off a victory at Chatillon and can go
close.

C4 – PRIX DES CYCLAMENS – 2400m (a1m1/2) – TURF – Claiming – Flat – EUR € 12,000

1. TENYEARSAFTER – Managed 5th place at Deauville over 1900m in a Handicap on the 1st of
the month and can get closer. Quartet chance
2. MOULIN BLANC – Will need to build on latest 7th finish at Marseille Borely over 2600m to
threaten here and is hard to make a case for. Pass by
3. GATEAU DES ROIS – Finished 4th on debut over 2000m at Salon Provence in June and
followed up with another fair effort. Strong each way chance, can win
4. LAZULITE – Was a winner 4 starts back over 2400m at Lyon Parilly but has not really shone
thereafter. Small, outside place chance
5. MISS CHACHA – She has shown very little in two runs thus far and needs to improve. Wait for
better form before including
6. L’INITIE – Placed 3rd over 2500m at Saint-Malo on the 8th of this month and can go very close
in this. Brightchance
7. TESUMI – Long time maiden, finished 4th over 2350m at Strasbourg earlier this month and
could place but prefer others
8. NEVER LEAVE – Placed 6th over 2400m at this course on the 24th of last month but plenty
more than that required for the win. Unlikely
9. SOLTANA BELIEVE – Consistent, finished 3rd over 2400m at Vichy last time and has a huge
place chance again

Summary: GATEAU DES ROIS (3) is lightly raced and surely has a bit more up the cuff. He can
be expected to improve to go very close to getting it all right. Strong each way chance. L’INITIE
(6) finished 3rd at Saint-Malo over 2500m last time and is holding form. He should not be a
maiden for too much longer. Big runner. TENYEARSAFTER (1) looks to be worth a solid place
bet. SOLTANA BELIEVE (9) was a winner four starts back, finished 3rd last time and has to be
respected for most bets.

C5 – PRIX SERGE MAILLARD – 1600m (a1m) – TURF – Class 3 Race – Flat – EUR € 19,000

1. HIGHBARI – Fair 4th last time over 1600m at La Teste on July 28th after a good 2nd before
that at Chantilly. Looks to have a live chance
2. FAMOSO – Four unplaced runs of late, won before that over 1600m at Le Mans on April 23rd
in a Class 3 handicap. Needs to get back on track
3. PANDIA SELENE – Three unplaced runs recently, won before that over 1600m at Saint-Cloud
in a Class 2 handicap on May 14th. Can be involved
4. JOH SPIRIT – Unplaced on the last two runs, 3rd before that over 1850m in a Class 2 handicap
on May 30th. Place chance
5. INCRACKABLE – Has won twice from her last three runs, the latest win was over 1800m at
Saint-Malo on July 15th in a Class 3 race. Leading contender
6. RIDPOUR – Three unplaced runs of late, 4th before that at Vichy in a Class 2 race on July
22nd, 2023. First run of this year and should improve for it
7. ALEXEJ – Three unplaced runs recently, 2nd before that over 1600m at La Teste in a Class 2
race on April 25th. Others make more sense
8. BONHEUR BLEU – Unplaced on the sole run in 2023 on April 7th over 1600m in a Class 2
handicap. Will likely need this outing
9. VILLAGE ANGLAIS – Nice 2nd two runs ago over 2000m at Lyon Parilly on April 27th in a
Class 3 race. Can make the frame

Summary: INCRACKABLE (5) scored by two lengths when last seen at Saint-Malo in mid-July
and looks like she can follow up in what looks to be a more competitive race. HIGHBARI (1) can
make his rivals work hard for success despite having the most weight to carry. PANDIA SELENE
(3) can put three tame efforts behind her and get back on track with a better display this time.
VILLAGE ANGLAIS (9) is also one to keep a close eye on.

INCRACKABLE (5) – HIGHBARI (1) – PANDIA SELENE (3) – VILLAGE ANGLAIS (9)

C6 – PRIX DE PARAY LE FRESIL – 1600m (a1m) – TURF – Claiming – Flat – EUR € 12,000

1. VICE CAPTAIN – Decent 3rd last time, won before that over 1400m at Clairefontaine on July
5th in a claimer. Useful in these type of races
2. NIKKALUOKTA – Unplaced last time, 3rd before that over 2400m at Lyon Parilly in a claimer
on June 15th. One to consider
3. CLASH OF CURRENTS – Unplaced on both of his recent runs, 3rd before that over 1800m in
a handicap at Marseille Borely on May 31st. Drops in class and can not be ruled out
4. SWEET DREAMS – Won last time at Pompadour in a maiden over 1600m on August 3rd.
Capable of making an impact
5. MAITRE DU JEU – Unplaced on the last two runs 2nd before that at Tarbes over 1500m in a
maiden on April 20th. In the mix on drop-in class
6. JOJO JUNIOR – 6th last time in a claimer at Compiegne over 1400m on July 12th. Seems to
have lost his way of late but is capable of having a say
7. GOGO DU BREUIL – Unplaced on both starts in maiden races, the latter over 2400m in a
maiden on July 19th at this track. Drops to a claimer but has work to do
8. HOLLY PHELIE – Two unplaced runs of late, won before that at Prague (CZE) on April 21st
over 1600m. Needs a few to falter
9. ANALYTICS – Three unplaced runs this year, the latter over 1600m at Hamburg-Horn on July
7th. Has shown ability and can not be ignored
10. KANZASHI – Unplaced on the sole start over 1400m at Compiegne in a maiden on June
22nd. Not beaten far that day and with improvement she can make the frame
11. WAHAJ – Unplaced on both starts, the latter over 1850m in a claimer at this track on July
18th. Hard to recommend

Summary: MAITRE DU JEU (5) can score in the drop-in class today. He was a decent second at
Tarbes in a maiden three starts ago and looks like the one to be with. VICE CAPTAIN (1) is a
solid performer in claiming races and looks like the main threat to the selection. JOJO JUNIOR
(6) is more than capable of being on the premises in this grade, he needs to recapture his old
form. NIKKALUOKTA (2) is also worth a mention.

C7 – PRIX ELLIPTIQUE – 2000m (a1m1/4) – TURF – Class 4 Divided Handicap – Flat – EUR € 15,000

1. PREMIERE ETOILE – Won last time over 1900m at La Teste in a Class 4 handicap on July
28th. Leading contender
2. XARUN – Has five unplaced runs this year, the latter over 1600m at La Teste on April 10th in a
Class 4 handicap. Needs to get back on track
3. BLACK MORNING – Has been placed on her last five starts, the latest when 3rd in a Class 4
race at Clairefontaine 12 days ago. Can be involved at the finish
4. PUMPY GIRL – Unplaced last time, 3rd before that over 2000m at Lyon Parilly on June 8th in a
Class 4 handicap. Needs to be more reliable
5. IPHITOS – Credible 4th last time over 2500m at Aix-Les-Bains in a Class 4 handicap on July
14th. Among the leading place chances
6. MANDLEFT – 3rd last time over 2100m at Senonnes on August 3rd in a Class 4 handicap.
Others rate higher
7. BECH RIVER – 4th last time, won before that over 2250m in a Class 4 handicap at
Parislongchamp on July 4th. Place chance
8. SURPRIZE ME – Fair 3rd last time over 2000m in a Class 4 handicap at this track on July 31st.
Has dropped to a good handicap rating to be competitive
9. KUPALA – Unplaced last time, 2nd before that over 2000m at this track on July 15th in a Class
4 handicap. One to pay attention too
10. RED HOT ACTION – Unplaced on the sole run this year over 3200m in a Class 3 handicap on
the PSF on January 3rd. Poor form in the autumn of 2023 and looks opposable
11. KISS QUEEN – Two recent unplaced runs, 3rd before that over 2000m at Lyon Parilly on
June 8th in a Class 4 handicap. Hard to fancy
12. EXPLORE THE SHORE – Has not won in 73 starts, the latest poor run was at Dieppe over
1400m in a Class 4 race on July 29th. Pass over
13. ELLECOEUR DRALLIV – Non-Runner

Summary: PREMIERE ETOILE (1) has a good chance of following up on recent success at La
Teste over 1900m in late July. BLACK MORNING (3) will do her best to stop the selection after
some decent-placed runs of late. She can once again be competitive. SURPRIZE ME (8) could
be an attractive option for the each-way backers to look at after a nice third at this track last time.
KUPALA (9) also merits consideration.

C8 – PRIX D’AURILLAC – 2000m (a1m1/4) – TURF – Class 4 Divided Handicap – Flat – EUR € 17,000

1. ARTURO – Two unplaced runs this year, the latest over 2200m at Koln (DEU) on August 8th.
Can make the frame if in the mood
2. JOLI COUP – 5th last time, won before that over 2000m at Strasbourg on June 13th in a Class
4 handicap. In the mix
3. POP LIFE – Has six unplaced runs of late, the latter over 2000m at this track on July 15th in a
Class 3 handicap. Needs to get back on track
4. WILD SWEETHEART – Three unplaced runs recently, 2nd before that over 1850m at Hyeres
in a Class 4 race on March 3rd. Others preferred
5. DENIA – Decent 4th last time at Dieppe in a Class 3 handicap on July 23rd over 2200m.
Among the leading each-way options
6. GRAND TATAKAN – Unplaced last time, 3rd before that over 2000m at Lyon Parilly on June
24th in a Class 3 handicap. Merits consideration
7. USER KINDLY – Unplaced on the last two runs, won before that over 2000m at Marseille
Borely on May 27th in a Class 4 handicap. Place chance
8. JAGDA – 5th last time in a competitive Class 4 handicap at this track on July 31st. Can score
at nice odds
9. PEGASUS – Unplaced on the last two runs, 2nd before that over 1800m at Compiegne on
March 19th in a Class 3 handicap. Hardly inspiring
10. PIERRE LE GRAND – Two unplaced runs of late, 3rd before that at Pompadour on May 26th
over 1600m in a Class 4 race. Opposable
11. WHIP DRALLIV – 4th last time at this track in a handicap over 2400m on September 25th,
2023. Has a long absence to overcome and others preferred
12. RUE D’ALBRET – Unplaced last time, 3rd before that over 3000m at this track on May 26th.
Capable of being involved
13. LES ALDUDES – Unplaced last time, won before that over 1800m at Marseille Borely on June
21st in a Class 4 handicap. Looks vulnerable

Summary: JAGDA (8) can score at nice odds, she shaped well when fifth at this track 14 days
ago in a Class 4 handicap when beaten around a length. Her main rival could be RUE D’ALBRET
(12) who should also be reasonable odds and can do better than her only try in a handicap at
Saint-Cloud last time. She was in a bunched finish last time. DENIA (5) and the top-weight
ARTURO (1) both look like solid each-way options.
