RACE 1: PRIX DE SAINT-GEORGES (GROUP 3) (TURF TRACK) – 1000M – TIME: 19:58 PRIZE MONEY: EUR80000
Summary: KERAN (1) could thrive over this trip. He has performed well on both starts this year, the latest over 1100m in a Listed race at Deauville early last month when second. PONNTOS (4) is a threat and likes this distance, having scored at Chantilly in the Prix Du Gros-Chene (Gr.2) last June. PRADARO (7) won a Group 3 last year over track and trip and should not be overlooked. ELECTRIC STORM (9) won on his seasonal return in a Listed race over 1000m and warrants respect.
SELECTIONS
KERAN (1) – PONNTOS (4) – PRADARO (7) – ELECTRIC STORM (9)
RACE 2: PRIX AUGUSTE RODIN COOLMORE PRIX SAINT-ALARY (GROUP 2) (TURF TRACK) – 2000M – TIME: 20:33 PRIZE MONEY: EUR130000
Summary: All four fillies have a chance in this Group 3 race. AUDUBON PARK (1) is still unexposed and has not as much experience as her rivals, but looked like a class act when scoring by four lengths in a Listed race at Saint-Cloud in early March. She can edge this over FLAMING STONE (3), who was second in a Group 3 race over 1800m at this track in early April last time out. GEZORA (4) was back in third in the same race and is also worth considering.
SELECTIONS
AUDUBON PARK (1) – FLAMING STONE (3) – GEZORA (4) – JONES (2)
RACE 3: SUPER HANDICAP DU PRINTEMPS (TURF TRACK) – 2000M – TIME: 21:15 PRIZE MONEY: EUR100000
Summary: TRIBAL CHIEF (16) stands out as the likely winner after a strong return effort when second at Newmarket in a Class 2 handicap, suggesting there’s more to come this season. HYPERCORE (15) should not be judged too harshly on his latest run and could bounce back, especially if he returns to the form of his penultimate start. EVERILLO (10) looks solid for eachway players with consistent recent form. MORPHEWAN (3) ran well last time and commands respect, while WATCH HIM (8) has the class to get involved if things fall his way.
SELECTIONS
TRIBAL CHIEF (16) – HYPERCORE (15) – EVERILLO (10) – MORPHEWAN (3)
RACE 4: MOGADOR HANDICAP (TURF TRACK) – 1400M – TIME: 21:50 PRIZE MONEY: EUR21000
Summary: AIR DE SAMBA (15) ran her best race when she was second at Argentan in early April on her latest start and is racing from the right end of the handicap. She is given the vote ahead of GRAND SON HAVANA (11), who was third in the Argentan race. His latest run was on the PSF and can be forgiven when seventh at Chantilly. FIREMAN (3) ran well to be second at Senonnes two runs back and enters calculations. DAKOTA SKY (12) and KALINAGO (2) are both worthy each-way options.
SELECTIONS
AIR DE SAMBA (15) – GRAND SON HAVANA (11) – FIREMAN (3) – DAKOTA SKY (12)
RACE 5: EMIRATES POULE D’ESSAI DES POULAINS (GROUP 1) (TURF TRACK) – 1600M – TIME: 22:25 PRIZE MONEY: EUR650000
Summary: A large field for this Group 1 Classic. HENRI MATISSE (12) won his trial, a Group 3 race at Leopardstown (IRL) late in March, and will have improved for that run. He won the Breeders Cup Juvenile Turf (Gr.1) at Del Mar last November and is preferred over JONQUIL (9), who won a Group 3 race at Newbury (UK) on his return run in early April and will be primed for this race. AOMORI CITY (6) can improve from his third at Newmarket (UK) last month, and has a say in proceedings. CAMILLE PISSARRO (18) won the Prix Jean-Luc Lagardere (Gr.1) over 1400m at this track last October and can not be ruled out.
SELECTIONS
HENRI MATISSE (12) – JONQUIL (9) – AOMORI CITY (6) – CAMILLE PISSARRO (18)
