Race Preview
RACE 1: GIRONDE STAKES (TURF TRACK) (FROM BORDEAUX-LE BOUSCAT RACE 1) – 2400M – TIME: 17:50 PRIZE MONEY: EUR20000
Summary: POWERS DREAM AA (2) won on his penultimate start at Limoges in early June and
looks like the best option in a race that will not take much winning. CRONOS AA (3) is better than
his last two starts and could be the main threat to the selection. FENG SHUI DU PECOS AA (1)
has been second twice and has the experience to be involved. HORIZON DE TANUES AA (4)
looks best of the remainder.
SELECTIONS
POWERS DREAM AA (2) – CRONOS AA (3) – FENG SHUI DU PECOS AA (1) – HORIZON
DE TANUES AA (4)
RACE 2: CHAPEAU ROUGE STAKES (TURF TRACK) (FROM BORDEAUX-LE BOUSCAT RACE 3) – 1400M – TIME: 18:51 PRIZE MONEY: EUR30000
Summary: VERCORS (3) has not been up to Pattern Class on his last two runs but will be more
at home in calmer waters this time and can edge this from the main threat UN INSTANT (1) who
will be in a good frame of mind after scoring at Saint-Cloud in late September in a Class 2 race.
KIARO (2) warrants respect and can give a good account of himself. ECLAIRE LA VIE (6) makes
up the shortlist.
SELECTIONS
VERCORS (3) – UN INSTANT (1) – KIARO (2) – ECLAIRE LA VIE (6)
RACE 3: F ET D SOUBAGNE MAIDEN STAKES (TURF TRACK) (FROM BORDEAUX-LE BOUSCAT RACE 5) – 1600M – TIME: 19:55 PRIZE MONEY: EUR23000
Summary: ZOWAL (2) has shown plenty of talent on both of his runs so far, finishing third on
both of them. He should be suited for the step-up in trip today as he seemed to like this 1600m
journey on his debut. SAKHALINE (4) could be dangerous. He showed promise when he made
his debut at Parislongchamp late last month in a newcomers race. ALPHA JET (6) could be better
suited by the drop back in trip today after his latest run over further. TAMAGHU (3) is also worth
considering.
SELECTIONS
ZOWAL (2) – SAKHALINE (4) – ALPHA JET (6) – TAMAGHU (3)
RACE 4: CHAT.LA POINTE MAIDEN STAKES (TURF TRACK) (FROM BORDEAUX-LE BOUSCAT RACE 6) – 1600M – TIME: 20:27 PRIZE MONEY: EUR23000
Summary: A competitive maiden with some potentially nice fillies lining up. LADY WINNER (5)
has shown plenty of talent on her two runs so far and was a close second on her latest run in
early October at Toulouse. She is marginally preferred to MAKE IT RIGHT (4) who was a good
second last time at this track on her second start. Back in third that day was DARKAVA (10) who
was making her debut. She can improve for that run. LA TRIOMPHANTE (12) also looks
promising and is in the mix.
SELECTIONS
LADY WINNER (5) – MAKE IT RIGHT (4) – DARKAVA (10) – LA TRIOMPHANTE (12)
RACE 5: VERDELAIS HANDICAP (TURF TRACK) (FROM BORDEAUX-LE BOUSCAT RACE 7) – 1400M – TIME: 21:12 PRIZE MONEY: EUR17000
Summary: ZOE (2) comes in this race in good shape and has an ideal draw. She has been
eased in the handicap and looks a solid winning prospect. MACANELLA (5) won very nicely over
shorter last time out but never looked like stopping and can follow up despite the rise in trip.
LOST IN MUSIC (1) posted a promising effort on his comeback run in a Class 2 contest and
should improve for the run. ABSOLUTE (3) and Christophe Soumillon cannot be excluded of the
equation.
SELECTIONS
ZOE (2) – MACANELLA (5) – LOST IN MUSIC (1) – ABSOLUTE (3)
RACE 6: B. MAEILHAC HANDICAP (TURF TRACK) (FROM BORDEAUX-LE BOUSCAT RACE 8) – 1900M – TIME: 21:47 PRIZE MONEY: EUR13000
Summary: Veteran AL RASSOUL (11) was a good second in his only previous start over the
course & distance. He is effective in this division and gets a tentative vote to resume winning
ways. LA PALOMBIERE (10) caught the eye last time when runner-up at Clairefontaine and looks
also a serious threat. BELLA CIAO (4) has a five pounds penalty to defy after her last success but
remains competitive, at least for a place. PAS DE VELOURS (9) is always to be feared in this
class of event and could be the right pick for the exotics.
SELECTIONS
AL RASSOUL (11) – LA PALOMBIERE (10) – BELLA CIAO (4) – PAS DE VELOURS (9)
RACE 7: A. DE CARAYON HANDICAP (TURF TRACK) (FROM BORDEAUX-LE BOUSCAT RACE 9) – 1900M – TIME: 22:22 PRIZE MONEY: EUR15000
Summary: An easy winner of a handicap at Tarbes last time out, L’ARCHET (1) has a 2.5 kilos
penalty to defy but the way he scored that day suggests that he can do it again. NOROLLES (4)
reopposes with the selection under better terms but that could just not be enough to turn the form
around. FAL DARA (7) seems to be at her best over this distance and should not be long before
getting off the mark. DREAM ANGEL (14) is well placed in the stalls and pairs up with Marylyn
Eon who has been in flying form recently.
SELECTIONS
L’ARCHET (1) – NOROLLES (4) – FAL DARA (7) – DREAM ANGEL (14)
