Race Preview
RACE 1: DE CUISERY MAIDEN STAKES (TURF TRACK) – 1600M – TIME: 19:40 PRIZE MONEY: EUR23000
Summary: GREEN CAPE (3) has run well in defeat on each occasion in well-composed fields
and this looks a good opportunity for him to open his account. However, FOUR FOUR FOUR (6)
ought to fight for victory if building on the promise of his debut 2nd, while GRAND DETOUR (4) is
another candidate for the leading positions on his return to this shorter distance. With Maxime
Guyon in the saddle, newcomer BIBE MUS (9) isn’t underestimated.

RACE 2: DU HARAS DU MA MAIDEN STAKES (TURF TRACK) – 1600M – TIME: 20:15 PRIZE MONEY: EUR23000
Summary: LADY MAJESTY CEN (4) was thrown into the deep end of a ParisLongchamp Group
III after a promising debut 2nd and she will find life easier in these calmer waters. Highly regarded
HE TOUCHED ME (2) also filled the runners-up berth on debut so ought to play a leading role
with improvement expected given the benefit of that experience. Well-related filly SEA THE
AURORA (8) isn’t taken lightly, while BERLINETTA (1) can make her bit of experience count fy
competing for a spot on the podium.

RACE 3: DU COMITE HANDICAP (TURF TRACK) – 2400M – TIME: 20:50 PRIZE MONEY: EUR20000
Summary: Yoann Bonnefoy has 2 strings to his bow and holds the keys to this event as both inform LET THERE BE ROCK (2), back at the scene of his last success after a good 4th in a
Quinté+ at Chantilly, and consistent GOLDINO BELLO (7), who is most impactful over the classic
distance, seem best equipped to fight for victory. Last-start winners LEMPIRA (3), back in the
handicaps, and hat-trick-seeking MONA TREZY (8) are also competitive for the podium places.

RACE 4: OUMNAZ STAKES (TURF TRACK) – 2200M – TIME: 21:25 PRIZE MONEY: EUR22000
Summary: After an encouraging much-needed comeback outing over an inadequate shorter
distance, CEDRUS (3) seems the most likely winner of this even given the favourable conditions.
However, top-rated WILD HORSES (1) acquitted himself well in a better race/field at Vichy last
time and will also appreciate heavy ground so he should pose a threat. Last-start winner LA DO
RE (5) is open to further progress and her chances aren’t/shouldn’t be underestimated, especially
with Alexis Pouchin in the irons.
SELECTIONS
CEDRUS (3) – WILD HORSES (1) – LA DO RE (5) – RAIMONDIN (4)
RACE 5: DE L’ESSOR MAIDEN STAKES (TURF TRACK) – 2200M – TIME: 22:00 PRIZE MONEY: EUR17000
Summary: Narrowly beaten in back-to-back recent outings over 2400m, GUARDIAN (2) is good
value to open his account here, especially in first-time headgear that could eke out sufficient
improvement. Well-bred newcomer ARROWHEAD (9) needn’t be special to pose a threat on
debut and begins with legitimate ambitions. RAIATEA (8) and KRASHA (3) have shown enough
to make their presence felt too, while MARY KELLY (10) is another attractively bred debutante
whose chances are dangerous to discount.
SELECTIONS
GUARDIAN (2) – ARROWHEAD (9) – RAIATEA (8) – KRASHA (3)
