Race Preview
RACE 1: PRIX DE LA TOUSSAINT STAKES (TURF TRACK) (FROM NANTES RACE 1) – 2400M – TIME: 18:25 PRIZE MONEY: EUR18000
LOLA BERE (6) need only repeat her most recent performance to fight for victory.
Course-and-distance winner STELLO TALLY (3) showed form over 1600m here recently and will
appreciate the extended distance, so seems best equipped to challenge. Top-rated COSMIC
FRONT (5) and SALMA (7) aren’t taken lightly and have legitimate podium ambitions.
SELECTIONS
LOLA BERE (6) – STELLO TALLY (3) – COSMIC FRONT (5) – SALMA (7)
RACE 2: DU DR VETERINAIRE PIERRE ROUMET HANDICAP (TURF TRACK) (FROM LIGNIERES RACE 4) – 1600M – TIME: 18:40 PRIZE MONEY: EUR15000
Summary: SPACE FORCE (10) has dropped in the handicap and is racing off a good racing
weight. He can get back on track and score at nice odds. TURTLE CHOPE (4) can be a threat and
was a pleasing third last time over 1600m in mid-October at Lyon Parilly. TRIESTE (8) is one to
include in all of the place bet permutations. COEUR DE ROUME (2) has been unplaced recently
but is capable of giving a good account of himself.

RACE 3: COMTE CHARLES DE BOURBON HANDICAP (TURF TRACK) (FROM LIGNIERES RACE 5) – 1600M – TIME: 19:12 PRIZE MONEY: EUR16000
Summary: PETERHOF (12) can score from the foot of the weights. He was a good second last
time at Lyon Parilly on October 18th. His main threat could be LE SICILIEN (5) who has been
shaping well all year with three seconds and is overdue for another success. LORLISALSA (11) is
racing off a low weight and is capable of making the top three. TOPINAMBUR (10) warrants respect
and can be involved in proceedings.
SELECTIONS
PETERHOF (12) – LE SICILIEN (5) – LORLISALSA (11) – TOPINAMBUR (10)
RACE 4: DE NANTES LISTED STAKES (TURF TRACK) (FROM NANTES RACE 3) – 2400M – TIME: 19:28 PRIZE MONEY: EUR60000
Summary: André Fabre’s first Nantes starter of the year GALASHIELS (1) was unlucky on his
return at Saint-Cloud and could make amends by winning on his first visit to this track. Progressive
KLIFF BERE (4) spearheads the opposition with veteran IN FRONT (3), who made a very
encouraging comeback lately. Experienced MARIANACHIC (5) thrives on heavy ground, so should
not be underestimated on his reappearance.
SELECTIONS
GALASHIELS (1) – KLIFF BERE (4) – IN FRONT (3) – MARIANACHIC (5)
RACE 5: GO INTERIM HANDICAP (TURF TRACK) (FROM NANTES RACE 4) – 2400M – TIME: 20:00 PRIZE MONEY: EUR15000
Summary: LOUNA CHOPE (10) will appreciate cutting back in distance and is a legitimate
candidate for success. LADY STRAIGHT (2) can also claim victory, while returning FAN ZONE (5)
represents an in-form stable so isn’t underestimated on his reappearance. RUE DAUPHINE (9)
and GOT SHINE (6) complete the shortlist.
SELECTIONS
LOUNA CHOPE (10) – LADY STRAIGHT (2) – FAN ZONE (5) – RUE DAUPHINE (9)
RACE 6: MADAME CLAUDE ROUGET HANDICAP (TURF TRACK) (FROM NANTES RACE 5) – 2400M – TIME: 20:40 PRIZE MONEY: EUR17000
Summary: Winner of this race last year off a higher mark, LIB DUBAWI (1) is good value to
successfully defend his title at the main expense of last-start winner PHILOSOPHY (6) and hardknocker KER STORMY (2) who shouldn’t be hastily condemned for his last-start 5th. Stablemate
GARRY D’AZE (9) isn’t without a chance either, especially under bottomweight.
SELECTIONS
LIB DUBAWI (1) – PHILOSOPHY (6) – KER STORMY (2) – GARRY D’AZE (9)
RACE 7: PLACE ROYALE HANDICAP (TURF TRACK) (FROM NANTES RACE 6) – 1600M – TIME: 21:15 PRIZE MONEY: EUR20000
Summary: MY BLACK LADY (3) has references on this course and is comfortable on heavy
ground, so he has a great opportunity to add to his tally. Returning top-weight ROUGEGARDE (1),
another confirmed on heavy tracks, and LIGHT WAKEUP (4) who was 5th in a Quinté+ on this
course in mid-June will keep the selection honest. PEACEFUL SEA (5) appeals mots of the
remainder.

MY BLACK LADY (3) – ROUGEGARDE (1) – LIGHT WAKEUP (4) – PEACEFUL SEA (5)
