RACE 1: HARAS ROYAL HANDICAP (TURF TRACK) – 1000M – TIME: 19:23 PRIZE MONEY: EUR30000
Summary: ROYALWOOD (3) has finished unplaced in five runs since winning at Fontainebleau in March, but she hasn’t performed poorly. With some relief from the handicapper, she has a strong chance to score. IMPITOYABLE (5) won in April at Moulins over 1000m and put in a solid effort when finishing fourth at La Teste last month, making him a competitive contender. KING ROBBE (7) scored last time out at La Teste and deserves respect despite a penalty. DAIQUIBERRY (2) heads the remainder.
SELECTIONS
ROYALWOOD (3) – IMPITOYABLE (5) – KING ROBBE (7) – DAIQUIBERRY (2)
RACE 2: DE NANTERRE STAKES (TURF TRACK) – 1400M – TIME: 19:58 PRIZE MONEY: EUR28000
Summary: CACOFONIX (1) seems progressive and was a decent second in a Class 2 race at this track on his last run earlier this month over 1400m. He can win from the promising COREY BEACH (6), who shaped well on her seasonal return at Compiegne late in April in a Class 2 race when fourth. She will strip fitter for that spin. ALEM (2) sowed improvement to win his maiden at Moulins on May 10th and has a good bit more to come. KERKILA (5) is also worth considering.
SELECTIONS
CACOFONIX (1) – COREY BEACH (6) – ALEM (2) – KERKILA (5)
RACE 3: PRIX DU PALAIS-ROYAL (GROUP 3) (TURF TRACK) – 1400M – TIME: 20:33 PRIZE MONEY: EUR150000
Summary: TOPGEAR (4) should be fit and ready for his return run. He signed off last year with a win at Newmarket in the Challenge Stakes (Group 2) at Newmarket in early October over 1400m by an easy 5L. He is preferred over LAKE FOREST (5), who won at Rosehill in Australia on his last start in early November. BEAUVATIER (3) is a classy operator and has won over track and trip before. He is hard to ignore. EXXTRA (7) is also worth considering.
SELECTIONS
TOPGEAR (4) – LAKE FOREST (5) – BEAUVATIER (3) – EXXTRA (7)
RACE 4: DES EPINETTES HANDICAP (TURF TRACK) – 2100M – TIME: 21:15 PRIZE MONEY: EUR550000
Summary: I GOT RHYTHM (13) ran a good race when second, beaten narrowly in a handicap at Saint-Cloud at the start of this month. He is lightly raced and has a good bit more to come .LIBYAN KNIGHT (5) has some solid form recently and was a good third at Saint-Cloud 12 days ago and looks like he can be a threat. DALAKIR (3) is not fully exposed and looks like a good each-way option. GOOD SPEED (2) has been consistent recently and can have a say in the finish. PRINCESSE D’AMOUR (9) is also worth considering.
SELECTIONS
I GOT RHYTHM (13) – LIBYAN KNIGHT (5) – DALAKIR (3) – GOOD SPEED (2)
RACE 5: PRIX D’ISPAHAN (GROUP 1) (TURF TRACK) – 1850M- TIME: 21:45 PRIZE MONEY: EUR250000
Summary: SOSIE (5) is a top-class operator and scored in the Prix Ganay (Gr.1) at this track over 2100m on April 27th on his last run. Down in trip is a slight issue, but he should hold to many guns for the improving SARDINIAN WARRIOR (2), who won nicely in a Listed race at Ascot(UK) on his most recent start in late April. ALCANTOR (3) was a decent fourth in the Befred365 Mile (Group 2) at Sandown (UK) on his last start in late April and warrants respect. HORIZON DORE (1) heads the rest.
SELECTIONS
SOSIE (5) – SARDINIAN WARRIOR (2) – ALCANTOR (3) – HORIZON DORE (1)
RACE 6: PRIX VICOMTESSE VIGIER (GROUP 1) (TURF TRACK) – 3100M – TIME: 22:28 PRIZE MONEY: EUR400000
Summary: SEVENNA’S KNIGHT (4) has run two solid efforts this year and can improve further with the step back up in trip. He is marginally preferred over DOUBLE MAJOR (7), who has performed well on his two runs this year, beating the selection into third in the Royal Oak (Gr1) last year at Saint-Cloud. DUBAI FUTURE (2) has won both of his starts in Dubai at Meydan this year, the latter in the Dubai Gold Cup (Gr.1) in April, and is hard to ignore. TRUESHAN (6) loves soft ground and heads the rest.

SEVENNA’S KNIGHT (4) – DOUBLE MAJOR (7) – DUBAI FUTURE (2) – TRUESHAN (6)
