Race Preview
C1 – PRIX 250 EUROS BONUS BIENVENUE GENYBET (PRIX DE TOUQUES) – 1600m (a1m) – TURF – Maiden Race – Flat – EUR € 30,000
1. D’ORES ET DEJA – Got going late once the penny had dropped to finish an encouraging 3rd
on debut at Dieppe over 1400m on 23 July – finished just behind DUNE (2). Will be a factor
2. DUNE – Showed promise on debut at Dieppe, finishing 2nd over 1400m on 23 July. Candidate
for success given likely improvement
3. FAME – Didnt go unnoticed when finishing 5th on debut at Dieppe over 1400m on 23 July.
Would’ve benefitted from that experience
4. BERLINETTA – Made marked improvement in first-time headgear to finish 3rd over 1600m at
Clairefontaine on 27 July. Dark horse
5. OLYA – Improved/built on a pleasing introduction (6th) at Compiegne over 1400m to finish 2nd
over 1600m at Clairefontaine on 27 July. Not taken lightly
6. LINDERHOF – Caught the eye by running on well to finish 4th over 1600m at Vichy on 31 July,
improving on her debut 9th at Saint-Cliud in June. Could have a role to play
Summary: DUNE (2) and D’ORES ET DEJA (1) made promising introductions at Dieppe
recently, finishing 2nd and 3rd respectively, and both would’ve benefitted from that experience.
They are likely to fight for victory with improvement expected of both. OLYA (5) improved after a
pleasing debut to finish 2nd last time out and, with further progress on the cards, could threaten
those rivals. LINDERHOF (6) fits a similar profile and could make her presence felt too, if
confirming/building on the improvement of her last start.

DUNE (2) – D’ORES ET DEJA (1) – OLYA (5) – LINDERHOF (6)
C2 – PRIX FESTIVAL MANGA DEAUVILLE (PRIX DE RONCHEVILLE) – 1600m (a1m) – TURF – Maiden Race – Flat – EUR € 30,000
1. NEUSCHWANSTEIN – Didnt go unnoticed when finishing 6th on debut over 1400m at Chantilly
on 14 July – held by HARVEY (5) on that form. Has legitimate podium prospects
2. PERFECT PICTURE – Finished unplaced (well-beaten 8th) over 1400m on debut at Chantilly
on 14 July. Best watched for now
3. HOHENSCHWANGAU – Acquitted himself well when finishing 3rd on debut behind two
promising colts at Dieppe over 1400m on 23 July. Should have more to offer
4. RASTRELLARE – Unplaced in both starts but far from disgraced in either outing, the latest
(5th) over 1600m at Saint-Malo on 15 July. Dark horse
5. HARVEY – Was the subject of ‘track talk’ on debut and justified that interest by finishing a good
2nd over 1400m at Chantilly on 14 July. Follow
6. CHAUMIERE DE PRE – Failed to confirm/build on the promise of his debut 4th at Saint-Cloud
when only 6th at Saint-Cloud over 1400m on 11 June
7. EGGLESTON – Ghaiyyath colt trained by Christophe Ferland. Julien Pelicier’s 3,5kg allowance
will aid this newcomer’s cause
8. GAITH – Satoshi Kobayashi-trained Belardo colt whose chances shouldnt be underestimated
given that Mickaël Barzalona is engaged to ride
9. ACTO – Ectot colt to be ridden on debut by Tony Piccone for trainer Fabrice Chappet. Not to be
taken lightly
Summary: HARVEY (5) made an eye-catching debut at Chantilly last month – finished a
promising 2nd over 1400m – and needn’t make much improvement to go one better and open his
account. He gets the nod ahead of HOHENSCHWANGAU (3), who didnt go unnoticed either on
his introduction (3rd) at Dieppe. NEUSCHWANSTEIN (1) is also likely to improve/build on his
pleasing debut 6th, so shouldn’t be underestimated. Newcomer EGGLESTON (7) is one to keep
an eye on with his rider taking 3,5kg off the back.

C3 – PRIX PARIS HIPPIQUES EN LIGNE GENYBET (PRIX MOLVEDO) – 2400m (a1m1/2) – TURF – Class 1 Race – Flat – EUR € 35,000
1. WILD HORSES – Course-and-distance debut winner on 5 July and would’ve come on
appreciably with the benefit of that experience. Keep safe
2. DONE DEAL – Debut winner in April and confirmed that promise by finishing 2nd in
consecutive starts. Finished 5th in a Listed race over this course and distance on 27 July
3. FLYWIRE – Only once finished worse than 2nd in 5 appearances (was 4th over 2400m at
Chantilly in May). Finished a good 2nd, proving his form and well-being, in a 2400m Listed race at
Vichy on 15 July – sets the standard
4. GET TOGETHER – Consistent performer with sound references/form credentials on both
surfaces, including a last-start 4th in a 1900m PSF handicap at Deauville on 30 July. Place
chance
5. MOONGLADE – Debut winner over this course and distance on 5 July and would’ve gained
plenty from that experience. Not taken lightly
Summary: Top-rated FLYWIRE (3) sets a good standard on the strength and consistency of his
recent form – which includes a good 2nd in a Listed race at Vichy last month – and is good value
to reconnect with success given the drop in grade back into a Class 1. MOONGLADE (5) and
WILD HORSES (1) made winning introductions on this course and are open to any amount of
progress. Both could improve to threaten the selection, while DONE DEAL (2) has shown enough
to challenge for a podium position.

C4 – PRIX FESTIVAL MANGA – FNAC CHERBOURG (PRIX TIP MOSS) – 2400m (a1m1/2) – TURF – Class 2 Race – Flat – EUR € 27,000
1. MONONOF – Consistent, lightly raced colt whose limits remain unknown. Caught the eye when
3rd in a 2400m Listed race at Lyon-Parilly on 18 May – not taken lightly with freshness on his side
2. PROLETARIUS – Unplaced in 2 appearances, finished 8th on both occasions – the latest
(2000m) at Compiegne on 12 July
3. PARTENIT – Consistent hard-knocker with undeniable means – boasts sound references/form
credentials at a higher level. Unsuited by how the race developed when only 7th over 2000m at
Marseille-Borely on 21 June
4. HAMAKI – Has hit the ground running on French soil, finishing 2nd in both starts since arriving
from England – the latest in a 2400m Listed race at Vichy on 16 July. Candidate for success
5. SOBER – The highest-rated runner in the race with the best form references/credentials.
Acquitted himself well in consecutive Group II races recently – the latest (5th) over 2800m at
ParisLongchamp on 13 July – follow
6. ZULU WARRIOR – Ultra-consistent performer with sound references/form credentials,
including a last-start 6th in a 3000m Listed race at Deauville on 28 July
7. CASSIUS – Revealed considerable promise in 2023 but has been disappointing this year –
unplaced in consecutive Quinte+ handicaps recently, the latest (15th) over 1900m on PSF at
Deauville on 28 July
Summary: SOBER (5) is the class horse in this race and sets a very good standard on the
strength of his recent form/displays in Group II events at ParisLongchamp. He ought to take
advantage of this drop in class by returning to winning ways. HAMAKI (4), who was 2nd in a
Listed race over this distance at Vichy last time out, seems best equipped to make life difficult for
the selection although both MONONOF (1) and PARTENIT (3) aren’t incapable of posing a threat
either.

C5 – PRIX FESTIVAL MANGA – ADA (PRIX GEORGES STERN (CHMPT PT DES AJJ)) – 1600m (a1m) – TURF – Claiming – Flat – EUR € 24,000
1. BLUE HUNT – She ran well when third in a Claimer at Deauville over 1400m on 8 August.
Should fight out the finish
2. SLAVA OUKRAINI – Fifth in a Conditions race at Compiegne over 1400m on 12 July.
Penultimate start winner of a Claimer and can surprise
3. TIBERIANA – On debut, she was fourth in a Claimer at this track over today’s trip on 11 July.
With natural improvement, she can get closer and should be involved in the finish
4. TARMAK – Unplaced in a Conditions race at Vittel over 1600m on 25 July. Best watched for
now
5. CERVINIA – She finished 6th in a Conditions race at this track over 2700m on 27 July. At this

Moderate on debut but can improve
7. SOLTAN GATSBY – He was fifth in a Conditions race at this track over 1600m on 27 July.
Seldom far off them and will have his supporters
8. DIAMONDS – On debut was 5th in a Conditions race at Vittel over 1600m on 25 July. Others
are preferred in this line-up
9. KEY TO VICTORY – A winner of a Claimer at this track over 1600m on 31 July. She has the
confidence of the latest victory and can follow up
10. EYWA – She was fifth in a Handicap at Deauville over 1300m on 3 August. Confirmed at this
level and has won two Claimers
11. REZZONICO – Well beaten 9th in a Conditions race at Rochefort-sur-Loire over 1600m on 4
August. Poor form and needs to find a few lengths to be competitive
Summary: A competitive claimer. KEY TO VICTORY (9) won at this level at this track last month
and should make a bold bid. BLUE HUNT (1) ran well when third in this division last time out and
should be right there at the finish once again. TIBERIANA (3) was not disgraced on debut and
can do even better this time. SOLTAN GATSBY (7) is seldom far from the winner and could make
the frame.

1. HAZBAIYA – A runner-up in a Conditions race at Vichy over 1600m on 24 July. She should

Watch the betting
3. CIRCLE OF DREAMS – On debut was third in a Conditions race at Dieppe over 1800m on 29
July. She was good on debut and with natural improvement can get even closer

January. Probably will need the run after the absence
5. SOEUR – A runner-up in a Conditions race at this track over 1800m on 11 July. She is
improving with each start and has the track experience
6. WINDBURN – She finished 9th in a Conditions race at Compiegne over 1600m on 22 July.

her debut effort when fourth, she has place prospects
9. BLUE SOMMER – A 3-year-old filly by Sommerabend out of Galinka who makes her debut.
Watch the betting
Summary: HAZBAIYA (1) has been consistent in France and should make a bold bid to beat
these rivals. CIRCLE OF DREAMS (3) ran well on debut and is likely to improve so can do even
better this time around. SOEUR (5) is improving and has course experience so should be very
competitive again. DREAM CEN (8) disappointed last time out but could do a lot better and
deserves some respect.

1. BOUGAINVILLIER – He was a runner-up in a Claimer race at Dieppe over 1800m on 29 July.
Improved latest effort and will be fitter this time
2. SIM CARD – He finished 6th in a Claimer at Deauville over 1900m on 10 August. Others are
preferred in this line-up

sufficient means to fight for victory in this line-up
4. LIGHTED GLORY – A runner-up in a Claimer at this track over 2200m on 31 July. She has
been a runner-up in the last two and will get her day soon
5. INATTENDU – He was fourth in a Claimer at Deauville over 1900m on 10 August. A good
finisher that deserves to be respected

August. In good form and has sufficient means to fight for a place on the podium
7. AMRITA – Unplaced in a Conditions race at Saint-Malo over 2500m on 15 July. Needs to find a
few lengths to be competitive

4 August. The penultimate start was a good fourth at this track and is capable of bouncing back
9. RIYAK – Well beaten 8th in a Handicap at Deauville over 1900m on 30 July. Poor form and is
an unlikely winner
10. TRUBLION – Unplaced in a Handicap at Compiegne over 2000m on 9 July. Best watched for
now
Summary: DARK ZEL (8) is unreliable but did run well when fourth at this track last month and
can bounce back to score. OFFRANVILLE (3) ran well in a claimer last time out and could do
even better this time around. LIGHTED GLORY (4) is knocking hard at the door and would not be
a surprise winner. BOUGAINVILLIER (1) showed improvement last time out and is yet another to
consider.
