RACE 1: DES MALAVAUX STAKES (TURF TRACK) (FROM VICHY RACE 1) – 2400M – TIME: 20:18 PRIZE MONEY: EUR15100
Summary: MYSOKO STAR (1) has racing experience on her side and finished second over 2400m at Lyon Parilly on 14 June. Mickael Barzalona rides and unless one of the first timers have ability, she should be the one to beat. MATHILDE DU BERGER (8) is a first timer with Theo Bachelot doing duty. His brother Livio won a Group 3 on his only competitive outing. The betting market will be a good guide in this race. MOHA DU SEUIL (3) is the mount of Maxime Guyon. His mother won a Group 2 on the flat and if not too green, he should run a good race. M’AS TU VU FOREZ (5) was supplemented for this contest and may be an interesting runner.

MYSOKO STAR (1) – MATHILDE DU BERGER (8) – MOHA DU SEUIL (3) – M’AS TU VU FOREZ (5)
RACE 2: GOUVERNANT CLAIMING STAKES (TURF TRACK) (FROM VICHY RACE 2) – 2000M – TIME: 20:53 PRIZE MONEY: EUR14400
Summary: ARTISTIC MAN (2) comes into this contest in good form. He finished third over 1600m at Lyon Parilly on 23 June. He is the horse to beat in this field. DIEGO BELLO (1) is better than his last outing and if finding the form of his penultimate run, he should pose a threat. POKER STAR (4) is a filly with scope and on the strength of her penultimate run when fifth, she should have a say. NUNUKA (6) comes into this contest off two good second place finishes. Mickael Barzalona rides and she should feature.
SELECTIONS
ARTISTIC MAN (2) – DIEGO BELLO (1) – POKER STAR (4) – NUNUKA (6)
RACE 3: DE DIVONNE-LES-BAINS MAIDEN STAKES (TURF TRACK) (FROM VICHY RACE 3) – 1600M – TIME: 21:28 PRIZE MONEY: EUR21000
Summary: TARADIF (4) is a well-bred son of Lope De Vega with Mickael Barzalona riding. If not in need of the experience, he may start his career on a positive note. The betting market will be the best guide in this contest. ARTILLEUR (3) ran a good race when third on debut. He would have come on from the run and with experience, he is a big runner. VASSY (5) is an unraced son of Zelzal from the in-form stable of Christopher Head. NASHOBA (2) needed his debut effort at SaintCloud and may have good improvement to come.
SELECTIONS
TARADIF (4) – ARTILLEUR (3) – VASSY (5) – NASHOBA (2)
RACE 4: DE L’HIPPODROME DE STRASBOURG MAIDEN STAKES (TURF TRACK) (FROM VITTEL RACE 1) – 2400M – TIME: 21:45 PRIZE MONEY: EUR8200
Summary: INSPIRADO (3) brings plenty of experience and has been in good form recently. His solid second at Aix Les Bains 15 days ago was encouraging, and he looks ready to open his account. KOELLE (7) was highly tried in Pattern company last year in Germany, including a fourth in a Group 3. He can build on his recent fourth in the same race as the selection. ALSEBARAN (5) has posted back-to-back runner-up finishes and is hard to dismiss, while VEGA D’AUMONT (10) looks best of the rest.
SELECTIONS
INSPIRADO (3) – KOELLE (7) – ALSEBARAN (5) – VEGA D’AUMONT (10)
RACE 5: OMBRETTE MAIDEN STAKES (TURF TRACK) (FROM VICHY RACE 4) – 1600M – TIME: 22:03 PRIZE MONEY: EUR21000
Summary: EKLLEEL (1) was a tad disappointing on debut. She would have gained from the experience and should have good improvement to come. Mickael Barzalona picks up the ride which is a big plus. KENDELYA (6) ran a good race when third on debut at Saint-Cloud. She would have come on from the outing and is a leading contender. WAITING FOR YOU (5) has finished third in both her efforts to date and must be included in all bets. SPARKS OF LOVE (3) is in good form and comes off a second-place finish. She should have a say in the outcome of this contest.
SELECTIONS
EKLLEEL (1) – KENDELYA (6) – WAITING FOR YOU (5) – SPARKS OF LOVE (3)
RACE 6: DE RAVEL CLAIMING STAKES (TURF TRACK) (FROM VICHY RACE 5) – 2400M – TIME: 22:38 PRIZE MONEY: EUR11500
Summary: MEYUDINE’K (4) looks ideally suited to the conditions in this race and with a top jockey in the irons she should feature prominently. PONT MARIE (5) stays well and is expected to be highly competitive at this level. OVER THE CLOUDS (2) has not been able to shine this year, but he faces a level of opposition who are within his capabilities. PERLE ARDENTE (1) rarely runs a bad race and she should give her all once again.
SELECTIONS
MEYUDINE’K (4) – PONT MARIE (5) – OVER THE CLOUDS (2) – PERLE ARDENTE (1)
RACE 7: DE L’UNION DES COMMERCANTS DE VITTEL HANDICAP (TURF TRACK) (FROM VITTEL RACE 3) – 2100M – TIME: 22:55 PRIZE MONEY: EUR15400
Summary: STEELHAMMER (5) could be the answer in this open contest. He’s been consistent of late, with three recent placed efforts, including a solid third at Parislongchamp. A repeat of that performance may be enough to edge out SWEET DIANA (1), who looks the main danger after finishing second on her last two starts—the latest coming in a Class 4 race at Strasbourg in June. SILVER BEAUTY (7) has performed well at this track recently and appeals each-way. LILI FOR MOMS (3) leads the remainder.
SELECTIONS
STEELHAMMER (5) – SWEET DIANA (1) – SILVER BEAUTY (7) – LILI FOR MOMS (3)
RACE 8: DE CHARROUX HANDICAP (TURF TRACK) (FROM VICHY RACE 6) – 2400M – TIME: 23:13 PRIZE MONEY: EUR14400
Summary: TREVOR SENORA (8) has run some good races at this level recently and that could put him in prime position in an open event. MOUTRAKI (3) did not run to his best form last time in a race restricted to amateur riders and he looks likely to reverse the form with PATZESTEVE (5) who won that race. Veteran GOOD QUESTION (9) demonstrated last time that he still has his fighting qualities.
SELECTIONS
TREVOR SENORA (8) – MOUTRAKI (3) – PATZESTEVE (5) – GOOD QUESTION (9)
RACE 9: DU GOLF DE L’ERMITAGE HANDICAP (TURF TRACK) (FROM VITTEL RACE 4) – 2100M – TIME: 23:30 PRIZE MONEY: EUR13400
Summary: SEA WINGS (1) has been in good form, posting two recent third-place finishes. His latest effort, a close third in a handicap at Aix Les Bains, was encouraging, and he looks capable of getting back to winning ways. LANDARYNA (11) was a strong second over this track and trip earlier in the month and should produce another solid run. FÊTE JOYEUSE (6) shaped well when fourth last time out and has claims for a place. PUERTA DEL SOL (5) is also worth considering.
SELECTIONS
SEA WINGS (1) – LANDARYNA (11) – FETE JOYEUSE (6) – PUERTA DEL SOL (5)
RACE 10: DE BILLOM HANDICAP (TURF TRACK) (FROM VICHY RACE 7) – 2400M – TIME: 23:48 PRIZE MONEY: EUR16300
Summary: MEASTER OWEN (6) has finished runner-up in his last three races at this level and cannot be faraway from another win. CARTIMANDUA (11) didn’t finish far behind him at Aix-les Bains and will try to confirm his return to form. Consistent and well drawn, AGOUREIL (9) is firmly expected to fight out the finish. LAGOONE CHOPE (7) showed she could win at this track and now she just needs to prove she will see out the distance.
SELECTIONS
MEASTER OWEN (6) – CARTIMANDUA (11) – AGOUREIL (9) – LAGOONE CHOPE (7)
RACE 11: MINNIE DE BEAUVAU CRAON MAIDEN STAKES (TURF TRACK) (FROM VITTEL RACE 6) – 2100M – TIME: 00:40 PRIZE MONEY: EUR10100
Summary: AMPOLA (7) is best judged on her promising debut second at Saint-Cloud. She never looked comfortable at Compiègne last time, but is capable of bouncing back and getting off the mark here. TINTEBLEU (1) also disappointed on his latest outing, though his earlier efforts — particularly a runner-up finish at Craon in early June—suggest he’s a major threat. LA BANEZA (3) hails from a respected yard and is likely to improve on previous showings. KALAFA (2) leads the remainder.
SELECTIONS
AMPOLA (7) – TINTEBLEU (1) – LA BANEZA (3) – KALAFA (2)
RACE 12: JEANNE D’ARC HANDICAP (TURF TRACK) (FROM VITTEL RACE 8) – 1600M – TIME: 01:50 PRIZE MONEY: EUR16300
Summary: AMBRA ANTICA (8) bounced back to form with a convincing win in a 1600m handicap at Parislongchamp 15 days ago and is expected to follow up. Her main danger could be MON SEUL DESIR (6), who makes her handicap debut after showing promise in three starts, including a solid runner-up effort in a maiden at Lyon-Parilly in mid-June. GALIBIER (1), a claimer winner two starts ago, ran a respectable fifth on his handicap debut and should be considered. BOAVISTA (7) also warrants respect.
SELECTIONS
AMBRA ANTICA (8) – MON SEUL DESIR (6) – GALIBIER (1) – BOAVISTA (7)
