competitive first time at school. Outside chance
8. DROPSHOT – 350 000,00 Euros Breeze up purchase in May. A son of New Bay out of a

of. A daughter of Mehmas out of a Mizzen Mast mare. Big chance
4. BOEZA – A daughter of City Light out of a Iffraaj mare that more than likley will need the first
run. Prefer others
5. BLOWN BY THE WIND – Theo Bachelot gets the ride on debut, is by Waldgeist and can be
very competitve. Good each way chance
6. BADIANA – A daughter of City Light out of a Sea The Stars mare. Nicely bred, can win on
debut and is an obvious inclusion for all bets
7. DARKASHA FAL – A daughter of Dark Angel out of a Dubawi mare that will more than likely
need a tad further. Prefer others for today
8. SAPHO – Is more than likely to be one of the outsiders in the field that could need a few runs to
tighten up. Pass by for now
9. LADY DIORA – Is out of a Dandy Man mare that was a Group 3 winner at 2. She could be
anything and it would be no shock if she were in the first three
Summary: BADIANA (6) is a daughter of City Light out of a Sea The Stars mare that never raced
but was very well related. She makes a lot of appeal on paper and is selected to make a winning
performance first time around. DANSE ETOILEE (2) is a daughter of Wootton Bassett out of a
Tale Of The Cat mare that can make her presence felt. LADY DIORA (9) is out of an Irish mare
that raced only twice for one win. Watch the betting market before taking your final bets.
JANAYEN (3) can be expected to finish in the first four. Chance.

follow up. Strong each way chance

make her presence felt for the places
4. ELENKA – Caught the eye on debut when 3rd over 1200m at Evreux but that was back on the
22nd of May. Might need the run
5. EYWA – Won three races back, finished 4th over 1600m in a claimer race at Clairefontaine on
the 16th of this month. Quartet possibility

a claiming race. Strong win again on first start for new trainer

progress on that to threaten. No
8. LAHOMI – Finished 6th over 1300m at Deauville on the 13th of this month in a claiming race.
More needed and can be excluded from all bets
9. STRAIGHTTOTHEPOINT – Should go straight to the winners area very soon. Finished 4th
over 1300m at Deauville in a claimer on the 13th of this month. Big chance
Summary: FICTION (6) is a filly that clearly has ability having reeled off three wins in a row. Her
most recent was at Deauville and there is no reason why she cannot make it four on the trot.
Strong first choice. STRAIGHTTOTHEPOINT (9) has shown in her two placed runs to date that
her maiden win is on the horizon. She has strong each way claims. FAR BEYOND (2) comes into
the race fresh off a victory at Deauville over 1400m and can be competitive. Good chance. RETT
ANGEL (1) was victorious three races back and has a huge place chance.

Clairefontaine on the 16th of this month. Pass by
2. COMTESSE VERA – Was a winner three starts back at La Teste over 1800m but has posted

month. Can get much closer. Strong win chance

can go very close. Big chance
9. DUBAI EMPIRE – Taking forever to win or place again, finished 15th last time out. Would be a
shock winner
10. PEYTON PLACE – Current form has been on the decline over various distances and is
therefore hard to make a case for. Pass by
11. TAAL – Has finished 14th, 14th and 15th in last three. Impossible to fancy. Pass by. No
Summary: VESINABA (5) has had a lot of racing and notched up eight wins in the process. His
last run was 4th over 2200m at Erbray and he can get much closer today. FIrm first choice.
RIMBAULT (4) ran well last time when 2nd at Clairefontaine and can go one more. LOVELY
MISS (8) is holding form and can be given a huge place chance. MANDLEFT (3) is holding form
and is a must for the quartet.

Summary: CAREGIVER (7) is better than his latest outing and with a bit of luck in running, we
should see a much better performance. He has the type of form to be very effective. SHAWBAK
(1) is holding form very nicely and would be deserving off another win. COGOLIN (4) just missed
out on making it two in a row but it would come as no surprise to see him landing the spoils here.
VICTORIA GROVE (3) is back up in trip which should see her mounting a challenge.

with him engaged here, more of the same could well be on the cards. GRACELLA (15) slots in
with a very light weight which could see her run a huge race on the back of a win. AMERICAN
LAWYER (1) brings solid form to the table and will be be a threat. LANZELOT GOLD (3) is
another that has the right type of form and should provide a stern challenge.
