Race Preview
RACE 1: ESPLANADE STAKES (TURF TRACK) (FROM LYON-PARILLY RACE 1) – 2200M – TIME: 17:51 PRIZE MONEY: EUR15000
Summary: An interesting start to the card. MAGYAR DANCE (6) showed promise last year but is
returning from a lengthy break. She is good enough to win if fit. THE LAST WALTZ (5) did not show
her best last time out but does have a winning chance. BOSIOH (1) is fit and has been doing well
in handicaps of late so deserves the utmost respect. MALKA (7) has some fair form and is not out
of it.
SELECTIONS
MAGYAR DANCE (6) – THE LAST WALTZ (5) – BOSIOH (1) – MALKA (7)
RACE 2: OAKLAND STAKES (TURF TRACK) (FROM LYON-PARILLY RACE 2) – 1350M – TIME: 18:23 PRIZE MONEY: EUR16000
Summary: SHADY LADY (3) has been a disappointment this year and did hold a Group 1 entry.
She lowers her ambitions for a race like this and can bounce back to score. ABSTRACT (4) showed
ability when scoring on debut last year and lost her way since then but can be a threat returning
from a break. MOONFIRE (2) is capable of better than her last run and could contest the finish.
GOGOKA (1) was beaten a claimer recently but could earn some minor money.
SELECTIONS
SHADY LADY (3) – ABSTRACT (4) – MOONFIRE (2) – GOGOKA (1)
RACE 3: PROF COLLET HANDICAP (TURF TRACK) (FROM LYON-PARILLY RACE 3) – 2000M – TIME: 18:55 PRIZE MONEY: EUR20000
Summary: QUESTURA (5) has been consistent so far and should make a bold bid at winning on
handicap debut. SKIMBLESHANKS (3) ran well when fourth in a handicap last time out and should
challenge for top honours. CARLSTON (8) is better judged on the good penultimate start victory
and deserves some respect. BANSHIE (7) has held form and should contest the finish again.
SELECTIONS
QUESTURA (5) – SKIMBLESHANKS (3) – CARLSTON (8) – BANSHIE (7)
RACE 4: BLACK DANCER MAIDEN STAKES (TURF TRACK) (FROM LYON-PARILLY RACE 4) – 2400M – TIME: 19:27 PRIZE MONEY: EUR17000
Summary: GUARDIAN (3) is improving and was only run out of it late last time out. He can go one
better this time around. SALVE CAMELIA (6) is threatening to win her first race and should fight
out the finish again. BALLET COMIQUE (10) makes her debut and is a daughter of Frankel so does
deserve respect. MAITRE DE CHANT (2) showed some improvement last time out and could have
more to offer.
SELECTIONS
GUARDIAN (3) – SALVE CAMELIA (6) – BALLET COMIQUE (10) – MAITRE DE CHANT (2)
RACE 5: VALLEE OISE HANDICAP (TURF TRACK) (FROM COMPIEGNE RACE 1) – 1400M – TIME: 19:55 PRIZE MONEY: EUR55000
Summary: MODERN ERA (16) can score from the foot of the handicap. She got the job done last
time at Dieppe when she broke her maiden and is progressive. AVENUE MONTAIGNE (5) finds it
hard to perform negatively and scored on her latest start in a maiden at Clairefontaine in early
August. She can make her rivals work hard. LANZELOT GOLD (6) is still lightly raced and can
acquit himself well. DARK MONEY (3) is also worth considering after a good third on his most
recent start.
SELECTIONS
MODERN ERA (16) – AVENUE MONTAIGNE (5) – LANZELOT GOLD (6) – DARK MONEY (3)
RACE 6: DES TRIBUNES HANDICAP (TURF TRACK) (FROM LYON-PARILLY RACE 5) – 2400M – TIME: 20:12 PRIZE MONEY: EUR15000
Summary: SEKKU (1) has won at this course and is threatening to win again after a good run last
month. EXHIT (4) ran well at ParisLongchamp last week and can get involved with the finish. DE
QUEVEDO (3) ran well at this course recently and deserves respect for that performance.
TARCENAY (5) continues to hold his fo9rm and would not be a surprise winner either.
SELECTIONS
SEKKU (1) – EXHIT (4) – DE QUEVEDO (3) – TARCENAY (5)
RACE 7: DE VERBERIE CLAIMING STAKES (TURF TRACK) (FROM COMPIEGNE RACE 2) – 1800M – TIME: 20:30 PRIZE MONEY: EUR24000
Summary: This could be a competitive claimer with a few dropping in class. CERVINIA (3) was
third last time in a claimer at Clairefontaine and is the tentative selection ahead of YOUNG AND
PROUD (2) who is a winner in this class of race in July and has faired well in better races since
then. MISSION GAMMA (8) scored in a maiden last time at La Teste 5 days ago and will not lack
fitness. SAWATDEE KHA (5) looks best of the remainder.
SELECTIONS
CERVINIA (3) – YOUNG AND PROUD (2) – MISSION GAMMA (8) – SAWATDEE KHA (5)
RACE 8: DU PADDOCK HANDICAP (TURF TRACK) (FROM LYON-PARILLY RACE 6) – 2400M – TIME: 20:47 PRIZE MONEY: EUR17000
Summary: QUE VENDRA (3) was not disgraced last time out on the PSF but is better on the turf
and has run well at this course before. She gets a narrow vote to score. ZILYA (4) is unreliable but
did run well last time out and is capable of challenging late. DARLYVI (9) has improved of late and
can fight out the finish once again. SANCHO (8) did not run badly last time out but is on a losing
streak.
SELECTIONS
QUE VENDRA (3) – ZILYA (4) – DARLYVI (9) – SANCHO (8)
RACE 9: PONT ST MAX. CLAIMING STAKES (TURF TRACK) (FROM COMPIEGNE RACE 3) – 1400M – TIME: 21:05 PRIZE MONEY: EUR19000
Summary: SLAVA OUKRAINI (2) has been a tad below par of late but was a course winner on
June 22nd over this trip and she can be competitive. EAGLE GATE (1) is a threat, he ran a decent
race in a claimer recently and was a winner earlier this year at Lyon Parilly of a Class 3 race.
AMORE MIA (3) was a winner of two claimers earlier this year in June and should be on the
premises. SOLAS (4) is also worth a mention.
SELECTIONS
SLAVA OUKRAINI (2) – EAGLE GATE (1) – AMORE MIA (3) – SOLAS (4)
RACE 10: LA SAONE HANDICAP (TURF TRACK) (FROM LYON-PARILLY RACE 7) – 1600M – TIME: 21:22 PRIZE MONEY: EUR15000
Summary: PRINCE GEORGE (2) is in good shape and it would not be a surprise were he to score
in this race. TURTLE CHOPE (6) does not always show her best side but is capable of getting
involved with the finish when in the mood. OPERA (7) seems better than the last run and could
challenge for top honours. FILZMOOSERIN (13) showed improvement last time out and can go
one better.
SELECTIONS
PRINCE GEORGE (2) – TURTLE CHOPE (6) – OPERA (7) – FILZMOOSERIN (13)
RACE 11: ECTOT MAIDEN STAKES (TURF TRACK) (FROM COMPIEGNE RACE 4) – 1400M – TIME: 21:40 PRIZE MONEY: EUR20000
Summary: DOS MUKASAN (9) will know what is required on his debut and this colt should be
watched closely in the betting market. BELLE LUMIERE (13) looks the part on paper and should
know what is required. Any market support can be informative. GANZEVILLE (12) is also making
her debut and should be involved at the business end. VIVE EN FORET (3) has race experience.
He was placed on debut in Germany and was fifth on his last run. He heads the remainder.
SELECTIONS
DOS MUKASAN (9) – BELLE LUMIERE (13) – GANZEVILLE (12) – VIVE EN FORET (3)
RACE 12: DU RHONE HANDICAP (TURF TRACK) (FROM LYON-PARILLY RACE 8) – 1600M – TIME: 21:57 PRIZE MONEY: EUR17000
Summary: HOOLONG (4) has been unlucky not to win a race recently and has been runner-up in
three of his last four starts. He can go one better and win this lucky-last race. LORLISALSA (14)
showed improvement last time out and could have more to offer. JOYEUSE DE ROMAY (15) is in
good shape and can be very competitive once again. GREY BELLE (10) can do better back on the
grass and deserves some respect.
SELECTIONS
HOOLONG (4) – LORLISALSA (14) – JOYEUSE DE ROMAY (15) – GREY BELLE (10)
RACE 13: DES VINEUX CLAIMING STAKES (TURF TRACK) (FROM COMPIEGNE RACE 5) – 2000M – TIME: 22:15 PRIZE MONEY: EUR19000
Summary: INSPIRADO (3) was beaten about a length when he was a decent fourth at Deauville
in a claimer on his last outing in August. With placed form before that in a handicap in May. He can
score from EMPRESS STAR (4) who won a maiden in May and drops in grade today. CYNIC (10)
ran well enough when he was fifth last time in a stronger race. He can have a presence in a dropin class. FLAME D’AMOUR (5) is a winner in Germany and warrants respect.
SELECTIONS
INSPIRADO (3) – EMPRESS STAR (4) – CYNIC (10) – FLAME D’AMOUR (5)
