1. REINE DU CIEL – Unplaced in a Listed race last time, won before that in a Class 2 race at Vichy
over 1000m on July 19th. One to consider

claimer. In the mix
3. BOUJEE FILLY – Honest filly who was 2nd last time in a handicap at Deauville over 1300m on

4. DESERT ROSE – Credible 3rd last time over 1100m in a claimer to BOUJEE FILLY (3)on July

Looks vulnerable

July 30th. Needs a few to falter
10. NIIA – 3rd last time in a maiden at Le Lion D’Angers on July 26th over 1200m. Drops in class
and is hard to discount

Watch the betting for clues

is a course and distance winner last month. DESERT ROSE (4) was third behind BOUJEE FILLY
(3) at this track recently and warrants respect. NIIA (10) heads the remainder.

the leading chances
9. PALUS ARGENTEUS – Two unplaced runs of late, 3rd before that in a Class 3 race at

ago and holds a leading chance of following up on that. BAKHCHISARAY (4) has won five races
in the past and won three starts ago in a claimer in late June, he can put a tame effort behind him
at Deauville last time and be involved. PALUS ARGENTEUS (9) looks like the one to side with
each way. He was third in a Listed race in April. GAIDAR (3) makes up the shortlist.

1. MASAIYA – Non partante
2. LEMSAIRBAT – Good 4th in a Listed race last time over 2400m at Parislongchamp on June
20th. Key chance
3. BATTLE ANGEL – Two unplaced runs, the latest over 2400m on August 2nd at Clairefontaine.
Unlikely to feature
4. PERRINE – Unplaced on both runs, the latest over 2000m at Compiegne on July 22nd. Hard to
recommend
5. ALEMANIA – Fair 2nd last time over 2000m at Compiegne on July 22nd. Looks the type to keep
improving and have a say
6. SCIANTOSA – Unplaced on the sole run over 1800m at Dieppe on July 29th. Should improve
but others preferred
7. SWIRLING WIND – Good 4th on her debut at Clairefontaine on August 9th over 2400m. Will
improve and be in the mix
8. LATTAQUE – Unplaced on both runs so far, the latest over 2200m at Parislongchamp on May
5th. Has work to do

make more appeal

Hard to ignore
13. XIOMARA – Fair 2nd last time over 2000m at Sandown (GBR) on July 31st. One to pay attention
too
14. SOLITE – 3rd last time over 2650m in a maiden at Chateaubriant on July 16th. Can make the
frame
15. MADELON – Newcomer by Guignol, the stable runners usually improve for a run or two. The
betting can guide
Summary: LEMSAIRBAT (2) was pitched into a Listed race last time when she was a decent fourth
at Parislongchamp in late June. She can get off the mark this time. QUESTURA (12) was a good
second on debut and far from disgraced when fifth at Compiegne in May. She has been given some
time and can be on the premises. SWIRLING WIND (7) caught the eye when she was fourth on
her debut at Clairefontaine earlier this month. XIOMARA (13) makes the trip from the UK and is in
the mix.
SELECTIONS
LEMSAIRBAT (2) – QUESTURA (12) – SWIRLING WIND (7) – XIOMARA (13)
C6 – PRIX DU DEPARTEMENT 76 – 1400m (a7f) – TURF – Maiden Race – Flat – EUR € 22,000
1. HALVA – Three good runs so far, 2nd on the latest over 1400m at Clairefontaine on August 2nd.
Looks ready to win
2. ZINGARA DE SAON – Unplaced on her sole run over 1800m at Dieppe on July 29th. Needs vast
improvement to be involved
3. IN MY LIFE – Unplaced last time, 3rd before that over 1800m on her debut at Compiegne on
May 24th. Fluffed her lines last time and is better than that effort
4. MOONFIRE – Unplaced last time, 2nd before that over 1200m at Les Sables in a maiden on July
2nd. Hard to dismiss
5. QUENDRESA – Fair 3rd last time over 1400m at Compiegne on June 22nd in a maiden race.
Each way option
6. SEEYOUAGAIN – Unplaced on both runs, the latter over 1600m at Chantilly on June 29th. Might
find this difficult
7. SAGALITA – Credible 4th over 1600m at Compiegne on July 22nd on her latest run. Can improve
and be on the premises
8. GRECIAN POEM – 6th on her debut over 1400m at Compiegne on July 9th in a maiden race.
Can improve but others preferred
9. BURROWS BIRCH – 5th last time on her second run over 1800m at Nort-Sur-Erdre on August
11th. Makes no appeal
10. MODERN ERA – 3rd over 1400m at Vichy on July 18th in a maiden when last appearing. Can
make the frame
11. ABIAT – 5th last time, 2nd before that over 1600m in a handicap on July 4th in a handicap at
Parislongchamp. Ought to be involved
12. EVER KATE – Well beaten on both runs, the most recent over 1600m at Compiegne on July
22nd. Hardly inspiring
13. ISCREAMFORICECREAM – Unplaced on both runs, the latest over 1800m at Parislongchamp
on June 20th. Hard to fancy
14. TOPY’SIM – Newcomer by Seabhac, should improve for this debut run. The betting can be the
best guide
Summary: HALVA (1) has been placed on all of her three runs and was a pleasing second at
Clairefontaine 19 days ago. She is a marginal choice ahead of ABIAT (11) who has been performing
well in handicaps recently, with a good second at Parislongchamp two runs ago. MOONFIRE (4)
did not shine last time but has plenty of talent and can make the frame. MODERN ERA (10) seems
to be improving and is one for the each-way backers to take seriously.

C7 – PRIX DU CHEMIN DES AIGLES – 1000m (a5f) – TURF – Handicap – Flat – EUR € 21,000
1. TIME SIGNATURE – 3rd last time over 1300m in a handicap at Deauville on August 3rd. Hold a
place chance
2. REVANCHE – Unplaced last time, won before that over 1100m at La Teste in a handicap on
June 27th. Others look better equipped
3. QUEEN OF LIGHT – Three unplaced runs since a win over 1000m at Moulins on April 14th.
Needs to get back on track
4. BREATHE ON – Nice 2nd last time over 1000m at Vichy on August 7th in a handicap. Lightly
raced and has more to come
5. DAMBULLA – Two unplaced runs recently, 4th before that over 1300m at Chantilly on March
14th in a maiden. Outside place chance
6. ALIMAYA – Won last time over 1200m in a Class 3 race at Dax on July 25th. Ought to be involved
at the finish
7. QUITE RIGHT TOO – Two unplaced runs of late, 3rd before that over 1100m at Dieppe on June
14th in a maiden. Might find a few too smart
8. COSTARMORICAIN – 2nd last time, won before that over 1100m at Chantilly on June 26th in a
handicap. Each way option
9. PACOSTAR – Credible 3rd last time over 1000m at Vichy in a handicap on August 7th. Among
the leading chances
10. BAILEYS BACHELOR – Three runs so far, the latter when 6th over 1300m in a claimer at
Deauville on August 10th. Fairly treated for handicap debut
11. INITIALS BEBE – Four unplaced runs so far, the latter over 1300m at Deauville on August 8th
in a handicap. Pass over
Summary: BREATHE ON (4) is the tentative selection in an open sprint handicap. She ran a solid
race at Vichy earlier this month when she was second and looks to have a good bit more to come.
ALIMAYA (6) will be in a good frame of mind after scoring at Dax in late July and looks like the
main threat. PACOSTAR (9) was third in the same race BREATHE ON (4) was second in recently
at Vichy and can not be ignored. COSTARMORICAIN (8) is also worth considering.
