RACE 1: CHOISEL HANDICAP (TURF TRACK) (FROM CHATEAUBRIANT RACE 5) – 2650M – TIME: 20:47 PRIZE MONEY: EUR17000
Summary: LA BELLE CREOLE (9) could be the answer to this open handicap. She was a decent third on her latest start late last month and won last year in July. Her main threat could be BOKEN (10), who has been knocking at the door with two second-place runs of late and looks ready to win. ALMAGRO (12) is one to include in all of the place bet permutations. FIRST CREATION (7) is also worth considering.
SELECTIONS
LA BELLE CREOLE (9) – BOKEN (10) – ALMAGRO (12) – FIRST CREATION (7)
RACE 2: ODOS STAKES (TURF TRACK) (FROM TARBES RACE 1) – 1100M – TIME: 22:32 PRIZE MONEY: EUR23000
Summary: SY LY (3) could not have been more impressive when winning by 3.50 lengths over this course and distance. The form was franked when the third-placed Oshia came out to win her next race by 2.50 lengths. Looks hard to beat. THE BLACK STONE (1) won on debut and then ran well enough in his next start to indicate he should at least place in this event. SUCKING DIESEL (2) had her first two starts in the UK but made a winning debut in a Claimer in France and should improve on that effort. NOBLE D’ARGENT (5) made a decent enough debut at this course when finishing 5th and could place.
SELECTIONS
SY LY (3) – THE BLACK STONE (1) – SUCKING DIESEL (2) – NOBLE D’ARGENT (5)
RACE 3: ALAIN LEQUEUX MAIDEN STAKES (TURF TRACK) (FROM TARBES RACE 2) – 1500M – TIME: 23:07 PRIZE MONEY: EUR21000
Summary: SEINE LADY (12) has not finished far off the winning horse in all of her four races and could be the runner to beat in what looks to be a competitive event. GOLDEN BROWN (4) tried further in his last start and finished third. He does come back in trip this time but has run well over this sort of distance and it could suit him. ROMAN FORUM (5) had an excellent debut run when second over this track and trip and any further improvement will put him in the mix. ZELKOVA (7) is a well-bred first-timer who could put in a claim. Watch the betting.
SELECTIONS
SEINE LADY (12) – GOLDEN BROWN (4) – ROMAN FORUM (5) – ZELKOVA (7)
RACE 4: MORATALLA HANDICAP (TURF TRACK) (FROM TARBES RACE 3) – 1500M – TIME: 23:42 PRIZE MONEY: EUR20000
Summary: KIM WHITE (9) performed well in Handicap last time to finish third, beaten just four lengths. She will have just 53kg on her back and that will make her highly competitive. FOLKENE (10) ran a great race when second last time over 1200m against stronger opposition. The only concern is the distance as she failed in her only race over 1600m. WESTMINSTER FOX (5) won well last time over 1600m for which she received a 2.5kg penalty. However, that should not impede a decent effort in this. DALYNSKA (4) is still a maiden but has been running well. She has a 2.5kg claiming apprentice up and that will improve her chances.
SELECTIONS
KIM WHITE (9) – FOLKENE (10) – WESTMINSTER FOX (5) – DALYNSKA (4)
RACE 5: JEAN-FRANCOIS BERNARD MAIDEN STAKES (TURF TRACK) (FROM TARBES RACE 4) – 2300M – TIME: 00:17 PRIZE MONEY: EUR21000
Summary: PARANIAK (9) ran an excellent second on debut over 2100m at this course, beaten just 0.75 lengths. He goes an additional 200m this times which should be ideal and he looks the runner to beat. BIG DREAM CEN (10) did not run as well as expected at Saint Cloud but it was his first run in five months. He did finishing 2nd on debut so should improve. DERALO IR (1) ran fifth last time at Saint Cloud which was a little disappointing after his excellent debut run behind a highly rated runner. He is better than his last run. ROMAN (4) has raced three times for two seconds and a fourth place last time and he should be thereabouts once again.
SELECTIONS
PARANIAK (9) – BIG DREAM CEN (10) – DERALO IR (1) – ROMAN (4)
RACE 6: VILLE DE BAGNERES-DE-BOGORRE HANDICAP (TURF TRACK) (FROM TARBES RACE 5) – 2300M – TIME: 00:52 PRIZE MONEY: EUR20000
Summary: QUARTIER MAITRE (5) produced an encouraging effort when finishing third last time out. He will enjoy the extra ground here and surely want to make winning amends. MISTER PRESIDENT (4) is well entered and should leave behind his last below-par performance. SHELBY (2) is erratic of late but if he remains wise here and brings his ultimate game, he is worth consideration. FORZA SEDACA (12) poses to be a lurker having run two seconds in his last two starts and could spook his opponents here.
SELECTIONS
QUARTIER MAITRE (5) – MISTER PRESIDENT (4) – SHELBY (2) – FORZA SEDACA (12)
RACE 7: ENTREE DE JEU STAKES (TURF TRACK) (FROM TARBES RACE 6) – 2300M – TIME: 01:24 PRIZE MONEY: EUR20000
Summary: ANGELO DE L’ABBAYE AA (1) and KRIPTOGENE D’AYZA AA (5) are no strangers to each other when meeting over the course and distance last time out but ANGELO DE L’ABBAYE finished fifth but his penultimate start makes him a big runner when finishing second. KRIPTOGENE D’AYZA AA (5) ran a cracker and finished third and a repetition of that run could see him exploding fireworks at the finishing line. PARIS GAGNANT AA (2) is a one time winner and will be trying his best to add to his winning tally. VOIX DE CRISTAL AA (6) is still a maiden and returns after a five month break and might need the comeback run.
SELECTIONS
ANGELO DE L’ABBAYE AA (1) – KRIPTOGENE D’AYZA AA (5) – PARIS GAGNANT AA (2) – VOIX DE CRISTAL AA (6)
RACE 8: MANDARINE III STAKES (TURF TRACK) (FROM TARBES RACE 7) – 2100M – TIME: 01:56 PRIZE MONEY: EUR16000
Summary: SHUMMA (1) ran an eye-catching second last time out in a Group II event and does hold all accolades to make her the horse to beat in this contest. Supplemented ALHAAN (3) was just behind SHUMMA (1) when they met in their last start and she finished a great third. She poses to be the lively danger in this lineup. NUEE AL MAURY (4) has run two solid thirds for her two starts and looks to go one more here and must be given consideration. HM CHAWLAH (2) holds a place chance at best.
SELECTIONS
SHUMMA (1) – ALHAAN (3) – NUEE AL MAURY (4) – HM CHAWLAH (2)
