RACE 1: CH. ST-LAURENT CLAIMING STAKES (FIBRESAND TRACK) (FROM CHANTILLY RACE 1) – 1300M – TIME: 19:17 PRIZE MONEY: EUR19000
Summary: POSAFOLIE (11) won 10 days ago over 1300m by 4L at Cagnes-Sur-Mer in a claiming race and has a leading chance of following up. Her danger could be REUX (2)who was third in the same race and has almost five lengths to find. WESTI CHOPE (1) won at Pau in a maiden last time out late last month and can have a say in proceedings. DOCTEUR SAFI (6) has been below par in better races recently and warrants respect in this grade of race.
SELECTIONS
POSAFOLIE (11) – REUX (2) – WESTI CHOPE (1) – DOCTEUR SAFI (6)
RACE 2: FAISANDERIE D’APREMONT HANDICAP (FIBRESAND TRACK) (FROM CHANTILLY RACE 2) – 1600M – TIME: 19:52 PRIZE MONEY: EUR23000
Summary: ELUSIVE GLORY (4) has been placed over track and trip before and has shaped well recently. He looks ready to win again. MIA GRANDE (3) could be the one to give the selection the most to do. He was a decent third late last month at Deauville over 1500m. He was a previous winner over 1900m at this track last September. TRENO (5) is one to include in all of the place bet permutations. EN PLEIN AIR (2) is also worth a mention.
SELECTIONS
ELUSIVE GLORY (4) – MIA GRANDE (3) – TRENO (5) – EN PLEIN AIR (2)
RACE 3: CARREFOUR DU CLOS-LA-BARRE MAIDEN STAKES (FIBRESAND TRACK) (FROM CHANTILLY RACE 3) – 1600M – TIME: 20:27 PRIZE MONEY: EUR27000
Summary: LEBOWSKI (2) made a pleasing debut when he was third at Lyon La Soie over 1800m last month. With expected improvement, he looks like the type to keep progressing with race experience. He could have the most to fear from POSCHIAVO (1) who has shown ability on both of his runs so far, the latest when he was sixth at Chantilly in mid-November. DE FELICE (3) could be the one to back each way. DREAM INDEX (6) is talented and can be on the premises.
SELECTIONS
LEBOWSKI (2) – POSCHIAVO (1) – DE FELICE (3) – DREAM INDEX (6)
RACE 4: ROND FILLE AIR MAIDEN STAKES (FIBRESAND TRACK) (FROM CHANTILLY RACE 4) – 1600M – TIME: 21:12 PRIZE MONEY: EUR27000
Summary: CLAVIS AUREA (1) showed plenty of ability when she was third over track and trip on her debut last month. She will know what is required and is well drawn in stall 2. KODIACOLOR (2) is a threat and caught the eye when she was second on her debut at Deauville in late November. She is from a shrewd handler who will have this filly ready off an absence. PREMONITION (10) was narrowly behind in third and can be involved. MISS ANGEL (3) was back in fourth and is one to consider.
SELECTIONS
CLAVIS AUREA (1) – KODIACOLOR (2) – PREMONITION (10) – MISS ANGEL (3)
RACE 5: DE CHAUVRY STAKES (FIBRESAND TRACK) (FROM CHANTILLY RACE 5) – 1900M – TIME: 21:47 PRIZE MONEY: EUR27000
Summary: Course and distance winner of a Class 2 handicap last March, BAUHINIA RHAPSODY (1) is the tentative selection in an open Class 2 race. He probably has the most to fear from AMERICAN LAWYER (8) who seems to like this track and was a good second recently over 1800m in December. MAGELLAN (5) needed the race last time and will be sharper for that. He was Listed placed in August and warrants respect, despite the drop back in trip. CICCIO BOY (10) heads the rest.
SELECTIONS
BAUHINIA RHAPSODY (1) – AMERICAN LAWYER (8) – MAGELLAN (5) – CICCIO BOY (10)
RACE 6: CHEMIN DE HALLAGE HANDICAP (FIBRESAND TRACK) (FROM CHANTILLY RACE 6) – 1900M – TIME: 22:22 PRIZE MONEY: EUR23000
Summary: Previous course and distance winner ON Y VA (2) seems to come alive on this track and can gain another success. He is well drawn in stall 6 and can get a nice position if breaking well from the stalls. LIDISBARN (16) gets in at the foot of the handicap and shaped well at Deauville when fourth in a competitive handicap earlier this month. GREAT CHARLIE (9) can make the top four, he has dropped to a reasonable handicap mark and can be on the premises. COSMAS (3) is also one to consider.
SELECTIONS
ON Y VA (2) – LIDISBARN (16) – GREAT CHARLIE (9) – COSMAS (3)
RACE 7: TABLE D’APREMONT HANDICAP (FIBRESAND TRACK) (FROM CHANTILLY RACE 7) – 1600M – TIME: 22:57 PRIZE MONEY: EUR30000
Summary: MARHARRY (2) was a pleasing second over course and distance in December in a handicap and has a favoured draw in stall 3. He can edge this over SEEYOUAGAIN (8) who won on her penultimate start over 1400m at Deauville in mid-December and should be suited by the step up in trip. DELPHINE (13) looks like the one to be with each way. GUALDA (4) is a previous course and distance winner and can make her presence felt.
SELECTIONS
MARHARRY (2) – SEEYOUAGAIN (8) – DELPHINE (13) – GUALDA (4)
RACE 8: CHEMIN DU BAC HANDICAP (FIBRESAND TRACK) (FROM CHANTILLY RACE 8) – 1900M – TIME: 23:35 PRIZE MONEY: EUR30000
Summary: TREASURE KEEPER (1) has to contend with top weight but he likes this track and trip and can follow up on a win in late December of a Class 3 handicap over 1900m. He is well drawn in stall 2. DREAMS (8) will be competitive and could be the main threat. He was second over slightly further two starts ago on this track in December, he has won over 1800m before on turf, so should have the pace. TALK SHOW (2) and GOLD AND CASH (14) can fight it out for place money.
SELECTIONS
TREASURE KEEPER (1) – DREAMS (8) – TALK SHOW (2) – ZILRAK (16)
RACE 9: LONGBOARD HANDICAP (FIBRESAND TRACK) (FROM PORNICHET RACE 1) – 2100M – TIME: 00:10 PRIZE MONEY: EUR17000
Summary: ATANASIO (9) has good form at this track and if he manages to get a good start from stall 11 he can make his presence felt. He is marginally preferred to DRIP (6) who won over course and distance last time out by 3.5L, with the main selection back in third that day. ROMANELLO (4) won last time at Deauville 12 days ago and has placed form at this track. He warrants respect as does GOGUEN SPAISE (2) who has run well here recently.
SELECTIONS
ATANASIO (9) – DRIP (6) – ROMANELLO (4) – GOGUEN SPAISE (2)
RACE 10: GRAND TRAICT HANDICAP (FIBRESAND TRACK) (FROM PORNICHET RACE 2) – 2100M – TIME: 00:45 PRIZE MONEY: EUR15000
Summary: OUI JE L ADORE (2) might be the answer to this divided handicap. She was a decent second over track and trip late last month and is preferred to SUCCUBA (9) who was also second over course and distance when last seen on January 25th in a Class 4 handicap. She is still seeking her first success. SEMEUR (7) won 7 days ago over 2400m at this track and had solid efforts before that over different distances. He can have a say. PENNBLE (5) looks best of the remainder.
SELECTIONS
OUI JE L ADORE (2) – SUCCUBA (9) – SEMEUR (7) – PENNBLE (5)
RACE 11: ST VALENTIN MAIDEN STAKES (FIBRESAND TRACK) (FROM PORNICHET RACE 3) – 1700M – TIME: 01:20 PRIZE MONEY: EUR21000
Summary: STRUNG AHEAD (9) has experience at this track when a decent second late last month and will be expected to go one place better this time. CAPE JEWEL (8) will be a threat as she will know more after showing promise on her debut at Chantilly in January. HOT AND BEAUTY (6) is a capable performer and has placed form in Class 2 races. She is the each-way angle. VESCO (2) is also one to consider for a place.
SELECTIONS
STRUNG AHEAD (9) – CAPE JEWEL (8) – HOT AND BEAUTY (6) – VESCO (2)
RACE 12: SIRENES MAIDEN STAKES (FIBRESAND TRACK) (FROM PORNICHET RACE 4) – 1700M – TIME: 01:55 PRIZE MONEY: EUR13000
Summary: FORCEFULL (3) has plenty of race experience and handles the PSF well enough. She has a good opportunity to break her maiden. Her main threat could be MARILLAWOOD (5) who was a decent second at this track two runs back in a maiden over this trip in late December. ABISOLA (4) has shown plenty of talent in her three runs and was fifth at Saint-Cloud on her last start back in April last year. If fit to go she can be involved as can TANKEI (1) who has shown ability on the turf last year.
SELECTIONS
FORCEFULL (3) – MARILLAWOOD (5) – ABISOLA (4) – TANKEI (1)
RACE 13: GOHAUD HANDICAP (FIBRESAND TRACK) (FROM PORNICHET RACE 5) – 1700M – TIME: 02:27 PRIZE MONEY: EUR17000
Summary: BAILEYS TOPAZE (1) boasts a sound record over this course & distance and has every chance on the back of her latest effort here on 7 January. PAMELA BOUM (7) comes in the race at the top of her game but has a two kilos penalty to defy. ALNOORY STAR (5) always gives everything she has and is currently on a workable mark. MARA WOOD (3) won well last time here and could go close again despite the four pounds rise in the weight.
SELECTIONS
BAILEYS TOPAZE (1) – PAMELA BOUM (7) – ALNOORY STAR (5) – MARA WOOD (3)
