Race Preview
RACE 1: DE TRANGE MAIDEN STAKES (TURF TRACK) (FROM LE MANS RACE 1) – 1600M – TIME: 18:00 PRIZE MONEY: EUR23000
Summary: SISSI DU GROHO (5) justified market interest to finish a promising 2nd on debut and,
with that experience to count on, she needn’t improve a great deal to go one better and open her
account. PETITFLEURDECHAMPS (4) ran better than her finishing position (5th) at Angers last
time and she showed enough on debut to challenge the selection. RIGOLETTOS (2) fits a similar
profile and will make his presence felt if building on the encouragement of his debut 3rd. Stablemate
LEONA REGINA (7) is a newcomer of particular interest and shouldn’t be underestimated.
SELECTIONS
SISSY DU GROHO (5) – PETITFLEURDECHAMPS (4) – RIGOLETTOS (2) – LEONA REGINA
(7)
RACE 2: DE SARGE-LES-LE-MANS STAKES (TURF TRACK) (FROM LE MANS RACE 3) – 1950M – TIME: 19:00 PRIZE MONEY: EUR22000
Summary: Recent Quinte+ runner-up ZVALIKOVA (5) has an ideal opportunity to reconnect with
success and need only repeat her latest performance to recapture the winning thread. MAIA STAR
(6) poses more of a threat at this level and ought to be competitive here than she was in a Listed
race last time. ETERNEL’S BEAUTE (7), back from a lengthy layoff, has undeniable ability so
shouldn’t be underestimated on her reappearance. NEVER GIVE IN (3) completes the shortlist.
SELECTIONS
ZVALIKOVA (5) – MAIA STAR (6) – ETERNEL’S BEAUTE (7) – NEVER GIVE IN (3)
RACE 3: JEAN DE NICOLAY HANDICAP (TURF TRACK) (FROM LE MANS RACE 4) – 1950M – TIME: 19:30 PRIZE MONEY: EUR20000
Summary: Having finished 2nd in a recent course-and-distance handicap, AROWN (1) makes the
most appeal. KER WELEN (5), who was 3rd in the benchmark event a fortnight ago, seems best
equipped to challenge for race honours. Last-start winners DRIMYS (3) and LUNATICOS (4) are
competitive for the leading places and have legitimate winning claims. Small field but cases can be
made for most!
SELECTIONS
AROWN (1) – KER WELEN (5) – DRIMYS (3) – LUNATICOS (4)
RACE 4: BERNARD DE WILDENBERG HANDICAP (TURF TRACK) (FROM LE MANS RACE 7) – 1400M – TIME: 21:15 PRIZE MONEY: EUR15000
Summary: Celtic Stone Henge (FR) Has confidence and track experience. Can go close to winning. Achki Seldom far off them and deserves to be respected. Ianovka (FR) An easy winner of the latest and can double up. Caly Rosay (FR) Not well drawn but can be involved in the finish.
SELECTIONS
Celtic Stone Henge (8) – Achki (4) – Ianovka (2) – Caly Rosay (14)
RACE 5: DU MESNIL HANDICAP (TURF TRACK) (FROM LE MANS RACE 8) – 1400M – TIME: 21:50 PRIZE MONEY: EUR17000

RACE 6: DE BRAUDIERE HANDICAP (FIBRESAND TRACK) (FROM DEAUVILLE RACE 1) – 2500M – TIME: 22:32 PRIZE MONEY: EUR16000
Summary: A weak race to kick off this meeting. CHECKPOINT CHARLIE (2) is unreliable and has
not won for some time now but he is effective over this particular track and trip. OSER (9) was
ahead of rival CHECKPOINT CHARLIE (2) last time out so must have a winning chance. SILVER
CONDOR (10) is hard to trust but did win last time out and is capable of doubling up. MYKAN (6)
ran well last time out on the grass and need to repeat it on this surface.
SELECTIONS
CHECKPOINT CHARLIE (2) – OSER (9) – SILVER CONDOR (10) – MYKAN (6)
RACE 7: DE BERD’HUIS HANDICAP (FIBRESAND TRACK) (FROM DEAUVILLE RACE 2) – 2500M – TIME: 23:07 PRIZE MONEY: EUR21000
Summary: LHOMMAIZE (1) has won at this course before and is in good form. He gets the vote
to score. RADETSKY MARSCH (8) has shone lately and can be a big threat yet again.
JOLIEPIERRE (11) continues to hold form and should be very competitive over this track and trip.
RONALDO (15) is better than the last run would suggest and is not out of it either.
SELECTIONS
LHOMMAIZE (1) – RADETSKY MARSCH (8) – JOLIEPIERRE (11) – RONALDO (15)
RACE 8: DE BEAUFAI HANDICAP (FIBRESAND TRACK) (FROM DEAUVILLE RACE 3) – 2500M – TIME: 23:43 PRIZE MONEY: EUR23000
Summary: JUST LIGHT (2) is probably better on the turf these days but was not disgraced last
time out at Craon and could set the standard. MASSIMO (7) has won over this course and distance
before and could bounce back to be a threat. KEEP AWAY (13) is in good form and is distance
suited so will not go down without a challenge for top honours. ROSETTA STONE (4) was in good
form before a disappointing last run and does deserve some respect.
SELECTIONS
JUST LIGHT (2) – MASSIMO (7) – KEEP AWAY (13) – ROSETTA STONE (4)
RACE 9: NONOALCO MAIDEN STAKES (FIBRESAND TRACK) (FROM DEAUVILLE RACE 4) – 1300M – TIME: 00:18 PRIZE MONEY: EUR30000
Summary: WOODSHAUNA (1) returns from a break but did show promise on debut and could win
if fit. FELIX AUX ORMES (10) is threatening to win a race early and can fight out the finish once
again. PRINCE AUBOIS (7) is holding his form and is sure to be competititive yet again. HEY
VINCE (2) ran well on debut but did not repeat it last time out and is another to consider.
SELECTIONS
WOODSHAUNA (1) – FELIX AUX ORMES (10) – PRINCE AUBOIS (7) – HEY VINCE (2)

Summary: WEWILLDANCEAGAIN (3) is improving and only found one better on the day last time
out. She tries the PSF for the first time but is the one to beat. FRANCISCAINE (6) returns from a
break but improvement is expected this distance. ALSABA (7) was not disgraced on debut and is
another that is likely to improve and could be a danger. BELLA INDIA (4) flopped last time out but
is also not out of it.
SELECTIONS
WEWILLDANCEAGAIN (3) – FRANCISCAINE (6) – ALSABA (7) – BELLA INDIA (4)
RACE 11: DU CHATEAU DE TOCQUEVILLE CLAIMING STAKES (FIBRESAND TRACK) (FROM DEAUVILLE RACE 6) – 1400M – TIME: 01:26 PRIZE MONEY: EUR26000
Summary: CROWDFUNDING (1) is proven on this surface, He has also won three nice races this
year and looks the one to be with dropped to a claimer. WONDER BOY (3) is not reliable but was
a solid winner last time out and could follow up if in the same mood. VERDANSK (7) usually does
well at this level and can contest the finish again. WOFF (4) is capable of making the frame.
SELECTIONS
CROWDFUNDING (1) – WONDER BOY (3) – VERDANSK (7) – WOFF (4)
RACE 12: DU BESSIN MAIDEN STAKES (FIBRESAND TRACK) (FROM DEAUVILLE RACE 7) – 1900M – TIME: 01:58 PRIZE MONEY: EUR22000
Summary: TROPHANE (8) is long overdue a first win and was runner-up for the fourth time last
time out. She can should make a bold bid at scoring. GATTOPARDO (4) did not show his best last
time out but is capable of bouncing back to score. GANT (6) was not disgraced on debut and should
be even smarter this time. IBERIA (7) has form at this track and is not out of it.
SELECTIONS
TROPHANE (8) – GATTOPARDO (4) – GANT (6) – IBERIA (7)
RACE 13: HABITAT STAKES (FIBRESAND TRACK) (FROM DEAUVILLE RACE 8) – 1900M – TIME: 02:30 PRIZE MONEY: EUR34000
Summary: HOT AND BEAUTY (6) is well bred. She has been consistent of late and can take out
this lucky last race trying the PSF this time. AL AALI (3) struggled last time out but ran well in his
first two starts and can bounce back to be a lively danger. ADDICTION GAGNANTE (2) is capable
of better than the last run would suggest and can make the frame. FILM DIRECTOR (5) makes his
debut so keep an eye on the betting.
SELECTIONS
HOT AND BEAUTY (6) – AL AALI (3) – ADDICTION GAGNANTE (2) – FILM DIRECTOR (5)
