RACE 1: DES IRIS MAIDEN STAKES (TURF TRACK) – 1350M – TIME: 20:20 PRIZE MONEY: EUR23000

Summary: INVENTER (1) shaped with plenty of promise when third over the track and trip in a Class 3 contest late last month. With that run under his belt and expected natural improvement, he looks poised to open his account. BLACK SOLEA (9) is an intriguing newcomer from a yard known for readying debutants, and she may prove the main danger. TRINQUETTE (2) showed ability when fifth on debut and is entitled to come forward for the experience. ASIF ALI (4) also merits a mention.

SELECTIONS
INVENTER (1) – BLACK SOLEA (9) – TRINQUETTE (2) – ASIF ALI (4)

RACE 2: VALANJOU HANDICAP (TURF TRACK) – 1600M – TIME: 20:55 PRIZE MONEY: EUR20000

Summary: ARTISTIC MAN (2) made a strong impression when breaking his maiden at Granville 15 days ago and looks capable of following up now, making his handicap debut. VEGETALE (1) has proven talent, having placed in a Class 1 in March, and while her last two efforts have been below expectations, she’s capable of a rebound. MODERN SPIRIT (5) ran well when fifth 17 days ago and looks a strong each-way contender. WICKBURY (3) scored over 1350m at this track just over two weeks ago and merits respect.

SELECTIONS
ARTISTIC MAN (2) – VEGETALE (1) – MODERN SPIRIT (5) – WICKBURY (3)

RACE 3: L. DESCOURS HANDICAP (TURF TRACK) – 1350M – TIME: 21:30 PRIZE MONEY: EUR17000

Summary: KELLY KEY (2) has been a model of consistency in recent outings, most recently finishing a close third at Parislongchamp just 11 days ago. She gets the nod in what looks like a competitive affair. HY DREAM (1) wasn’t at her best last time but had previously run a solid fourth at Marseille Borely and could bounce back. SECRET FEELING (7) has shown recent placed form at this venue and is worth keeping onside. WASACHOP (3) completes the shortlist and should not be overlooked.

SELECTIONS
KELLY KEY (2) – HY DREAM (1) – SECRET FEELING (7) – WASACHOP (3)

RACE 4: GD PX DE LYON LISTED STAKES (TURF TRACK) – 2400M – TIME: 22:05 PRIZE MONEY: EUR60000

Summary: RASHFORD (3) has been highly consistent this season, including a creditable fourth in Group 2 company at Baden-Baden last time out. Dropping in class, he looks well placed to return to winning ways. GOLDEN CALL (5) is a reliable performer who landed a Class 2 race at Compiègne in early May and rates the main danger. BEVAN (1), a Listed winner at Toulouse in April, adds further depth to the field and is likely to be in the mix once again.

SELECTIONS
RASHFORD (3) – GOLDEN CALL (5) – BEVAN (1) – CASSIUS (4)

RACE 5: L. DE LEUSSE HANDICAP (TURF TRACK) – 2400M – TIME: 22:40 PRIZE MONEY: EUR20000

Summary: SAPODILLA (2) is absolutely treasuring life at this moment having won her last two starts and can certainly reel off the hattrick win here. CLAIRE (7) has had only three career starts and she now understands the distance well enough. She will be trying her best to be competitive and earn her first career victory. CAMELOR (4) produced a cracker post maiden run when finishing second and can surely teach the top two fillies a lesson if they not alert. VIENTO DE LEVANTE (5) is one to include and will be strong contender at the finish.

SELECTIONS
SAPODILLA (2) – CLAIRE (7) – CAMELOR (4) – VIENTO DE LEVANTE (5)

RACE 6: ENTRAIN. CHAZEY HANDICAP (TURF TRACK) – 2000M – TIME: 23:15 PRIZE MONEY: EUR27000

Summary: HUMAN EVOLUTION (5) was a warm winner in his last start and he looks to be filled with confidence to follow up on his win in this field. MOMO NELSON (10) was second in command over the distance last time out and poses to be a huge threat against his opposition. ARTURO (4) visited the German track and ran a smart second. If he brings that run returning to French soil, he deserves some serious regard. TREIZIEME MOIS (1) can be involved in the mix.

SELECTIONS
HUMAN EVOLUTION (5) – MOMO NELSON (10) – ARTURO (4) – TREIZIEME MOIS (1)

RACE 7: FEDERATION HANDICAP (TURF TRACK) – 2000M – TIME: 00:00 PRIZE MONEY: EUR53000

Summary: VILLA DES ARTS (2) brings Listed form into the race and tried her best when running 12th. She now steps back into a division where she can portray her ability and remain a strong competitive candidate. MOTION (1) was a victor in two of his last three starts and would be of no shock if he adds to his winning tally as he enjoys the 2000m. THUNDERSPEED (7) is not exactly a winning machine but shows that he is capable of running into the places. GATTOPARDO (4) must be respected and is a solid contender for the top four finish. DOURIANN (6) is another one to make up the shortlist.

SELECTIONS
VILLA DES ARTS (2) – MOTION (1) – THUNDERSPEED (7) – GATTOPARDO (4)

RACE 8: AMIS HIPPODR. (TURF TRACK) – 2000M – TIME: 00:35 PRIZE MONEY: EUR20000

Summary: KOLPLET (2) produced a cracker second in his penultimate start and followed up with a good third over the 1900m. Stepping back to the 2000m will be ideal for him and he can fight out the finish. KALIFE ALAPLACE (3) has been a consistent earner in his last three starts and it won’t be long until he gets another career victory. BURSARD (1) is erratic of late and needs to find his confidence again as he can showoff his ability when up to the task. OCEAN DIAMOND (5) wraps up the mix and can place at best.

SELECTIONS
KOLPLET (2) – KALIFE ALAPLACE (3) – BURSARD (1) – OCEAN DIAMOND (5)
