France Form Sheet – 4 September

Race Preview

C1 – PRIX TOP WORLD – 2000m (a1m1/4) – TURF – Maiden Race – Flat – EUR € 17,000

1. HYPERCORE – Good first run then disappointed second run when 6th over 1800m at
Clairefontaine. Hard to assess. Prefer others
2. FOREVER GIVEN – Has placed four from five, finished 3rd over 2000m at Vichy on the 31st of
July and rates the one they all have to fear the most. Win suggestion
3. OURO PRETO – Last few runs have been dismal but form before is encouraging. Expect better.
Good chance
4. MARQUISES – Has scope to build on debut 7th over 2400m on the 9th of August at
Clairefontaine. Small place chance
5. CIRCLE OF DREAMS – The daughter of Dubawi has impressed in both runs thus far and a huge
effort can be expected. Placed 4th over 1800m last time. Big danger
6. LINARIA – Finished 4th over 2400m at Lyon Parilly in June and plenty more is required for the
win. Happy to ignore
7. OLERON – Ignore last run when downfield, judge on debut effort when 3rd over 2000m at
Parislongchamp. Good chance

Summary: FOREVER GIVEN (2) gets the services of Ronan Thomas and brings some useful form
into the race having placed four out of the five times that he has competed. His last run was at
Vichy in late July and he is the firm first choice. CIRCLE OF DREAMS (5) has run twice for a 3rd
on debut at Dieppe and a 4th at Clairefontaine. She should win very soon. Bright chance. OURO
PRETO (3) can be expected to put those three dismal efforts behind him. Place claims. OLERON
(7) has a first four chance.

C2 – PRIX DES BRUYERES – 1350m (a7f) – TURF – Maiden Race – Flat – EUR € 23,000

1. LORD OF DAY – Produced a fair effort in 4th spot over 1600m in a maiden on the 31st of July
2024. Should be involved at the finish
2. BASALTE – Finished 4th over 1400m at Vichy in a maiden on the 15th of July 2024. Include in
the play
3. FEARLESS SPIRIT – No show in 9th spot over 1400m at Deauville in a maiden on the 15th of
August 2024. Others make more appeal
4. LADELONETTE – Improved last effort in 5th spot over 1400m at Deauville in a maiden on the
6th of August 2024. More needed to feature
5. VALMACCA – Finished 5th over 1500m at Deauville on debut in a maiden event on the 28th of
July 2024. Place chance
6. OCEAN TREATY – Not seen to best effect in 11th over 1400m at Vichy in a maiden on the 15th
of July 2024.
7. BLUE LILAS – Finished 3rd on debut over 1600m at Deauville in a maiden on the 10th of August
2024. Big chance
8. AMIDARGENT – Dam won nine times with eight of those wins coming over hurdles. Unlikely to
feature on debut

Summary: BLUE LILAS (7) ran a solid race on debut and with the experience under the belt, she
looks poised to strike despite dropping in trip. VALMACCA (5) drops in trip as well and could be
suited to shorter for now. She could have a say in the finish. LORD OF DAY (1) showed promise
on debut and would have learnt a lot from that outing which brings him in with a chance here.
OCEAN TREATY (6) is better than her last effort and a repeat of her debut run will see her being
a threat.

BLUE LILAS (7) – VALMACCA (5) – LORD OF DAY (1) – OCEAN TREATY (6)

C3 – PRIX GERARD LIARTE – 1350m (a7f) – TURF – Claiming – Flat – EUR € 15,000

1. TEMPO – Poor run in 18th over 1400m at Vichy in a Class 3 divided handicap on the 16th of July
2024. One to pass by
2. SHOWPOWER – Finished 8th over 1600m in the Czech Republic on the 23rd of June 2024.
Player on overall form
3. PRETTY BERRY – Not seen to best effect in 14th over 1300m at Deauville in a divided handicap
on the 3rd of August 2024. Big runner on previous efforts
4. DESERT RHAPSODY – No type of effort in 15th spot over 1600m at Vichy in a divided handicap
on the 19th of July 2024. Could place
5. EMBRACE ADVERSITY – Finished 7th over 1300m at Deauville in a claimer on the 10th of
August 2024. Place chance on best form
6. BAYLINER – Poor effort in 13th position over 1400m at Clairefontaine in a divided limited
handicap on the 27th of July 2024. Faces an uphill task
7. VIVE LA REINE – Finished 13th over 1300m at Deauville in a divided handicap on the 3rd of
August 2024. Easy to look elsewhere

Summary: PRETTY BERRY (3) reeled off a hat-trick prior to a very disappointing run and can
easily bounce back to best in a winnable event. SHOWPOWER (2) has run against stronger in
France and should be a runner if able to put his best foot forward. EMBRACE ADVERSITY (5) has
bits and pieces of form but slots in with a light weight which should aid her cause here. DESERT
RHAPSODY (4) is better than his last and could show up better.

C4 – PRIX ROBERT DE GRANDRY – 1600m (a1m) – TURF – Class 2 Race – Flat – EUR € 22,000

1. WAIKATO – Finished 6th over 2000m at Deauville in a Listed race on the 11th of August 2024.
Capable type
2. FERRARI FEVER – Non-Runner
3. ELDIO – Finished 6th over track/trip in a Class 2 on the 17th of April 2024. Shown potential so
could surprise
4. THOR LIGHTNING – Runner up over 1600m at Clairefontaine in a Class 2 on the 12th of August
2024. Include in all bets
5. EVERGREEN – Comfortably held in 5th spot over 1600m at Clairefontaine in a Class 2 on the
12th of August 2024. Others make more appeal
6. COMME QUOI – Finished 4th over 1600m at Vichy in a Class 2 on the 18th of July 2024. Will be
involved at the finish
7. BATEAU BLANC – Finished 4th over 1600m at Vichy in a Class 3 on the 15th of August 2024.
More needed to feature
8. OTHERWORDLY – Finished 12th over 1600m at Deauville in a Group 3 on the 15th of June
2024. Big chance in this company
9. CARTIMANDUA – Winner over track/trip in a maiden on the 17th of March 2024. Include in the
play

Summary: OTHERWORDLY (8) was totally outclassed last time out and will appreciate stepping
down in grade. He has the right credentials and is the one to beat. COMME QUOI (6) has produced
two encouraging post maiden efforts and will be a huge challenger. CARTIMANDUA (9) has shown
quite a bit of promise in her short career thus far and could run a bold race. WAIKATO (1) brings
the right form to the table and if the drop in trip isn’t too much of an inconvenience, he will be a
factor.

Place chance
5. MATT MACHINE – Showed lots of courage to win over 1500m at Deauville in a Class 3 course
qualifier on the 8th of August 2024. Must inclusion

2024. Can run into the money
9. MAX VERST – Finished 3rd over 1600m at Vichy in a Class 3 divided handicap on the 20th of
July 2024. Should go close
10. CLEOD’OR – Well beaten in 11th position over 2000m at Lyon Parilly in a Class 2 divided
handicap on the 26th of June 2024. Easy to look elsewhere
11. PACO – Runner up over 1600m at Compiegne in a Class 4 value claiming handicap on the 9th
of July 2024. Winning chance
12. BLACK FALCON – Poor effort in 10th over 2400m at Saint-Cloud in a Class 4 value claiming
handicap on the 17th of June 2024. Would be a shock winner
13. FLEXIBILITY – Finished 9th over 1500m at Saint-Cloud in a Class 3 divided handicap on the
11th of June 2024. Faces an uphill task
14. AQUILON – Moderate effort in 8th over 1900m at Deauville in a Class 3 divided handicap on
the 17th of August 2024. Easy to pass by
15. ROI DE FLANDRE – Failed to feature in 13th spot over 1600m at Vichy in a Class 4 divided
handicap on the 23rd of August 2024. Would be a surprise winner
16. BOOMERANG – Winner over 1300m at Deauville in a Class 3 divided handicap on the 8th of
August 2024. Include in the play

Summary: PACO (11) has had to settle for the second box at his last two outings but with a bit of
luck, he could go one better. MAX VERST (9) has been running to a solid level and looks ready to
win again. He will just need some luck from the deep gate. BOOMERANG (16) arrives in top form
and with a light weight on the back, it would be no surprise to see him make it three in a row despite
rising in class. JOH SPIRIT (7) is capable and meets the right type of company to be competitive.
