Mahama (IRE) Won a Maiden over 2500m at Aix Les Baines on 5 July. She was a runaway winner of that race and on paper will prove hard to beat. Le Roi Leon (FR) Finished 5th in a Conditions race over 1950m at Chateaubriant on 23 July. Has the experience and should run well but the distance could be a concern. Golden Blush (FR) Won a Claimer over 2500m at Saint-Malo on 24 July. Beat a bunch of honest fillies and now could be ready to take on stronger. Pont Marie Ran 2nd in a Claimer over this course and distance on 25 July. Proven on this course and has since joined Mathieu Pitart’s yard.

Berlinetta (FR) Ran 8th in a Handicap over this course and distance on 30 July. She will be tested over the distance but does look better than her opposition. Placid’oo (IRE) Ran 4th in a Claimer over 2000m at this course on 25 July. Has yet to try the distance but has the ability to make an impression in this field. Blanche Sacree (FR) Ran 7th in a Handicap over 2000m at this course on 4 August. He is a lot better than that run so it is best ignored. Not out of this. Elvetica (GER) Ran 6th in a Claimer over 2100m at Le Touquet on 27 July. She could have found that trip a touch too short and from No 1 draw could make amends.

RACE 3: P. MALDANT STAKES (TURF TRACK) – 1850M – TIME: 17:15 PRIZE MONEY: EUR14600

Wild Angel Won a Maiden over 1600m at La Teste on 27 July. That was her first race in France and she could have a lot more to offer. Anssio (FR) Won a Maiden over 1800m at Aix Les Bains on 9 July. Has only run twice and has the potential to make huge improvement. Modernise Ran 14th in a Handicap over 1400m at Compiegne on 29 July. He may have found the trip a touch short and is better suited to this distance. Belle Lumiere (FR) Finished 3rd in a Maiden over 1800m at Lyon La Soie on 16 December 2024. Now trained by Gérald Mossé, she needs to be considered.

RACE 4: PIONSAT CLAIMING STAKES (TURF TRACK) – 1600M – TIME: 17:45 PRIZE MONEY: EUR12000

Tzarekov (FR) Ran 5th in a Maiden over 1400m at La Teste on 27 July. This 2YO has run well in his two starts and the inclusion of Australian blinkers will assist. Mengana (FR) Ran 2nd in a Claimer over this course and distance on 30 July. That was his debut run for Marvin Grandin and can only improve. Rage Chope (FR) Ran 5th in a Maiden over 1600m at Vittel on 20 July. Paired with an in-form apprentice and equipped with Australian blinkers, a good run is expected. Earthlike (FR) Ran 4th in a Claimer over 1350m at Lyon Parilly on 14 June. Tries further for the first time and that could bring about more progress.

RACE 5: LALIZOLLE CLAIMING STAKES (TURF TRACK) – 1600M – TIME: 18:15 PRIZE MONEY: EUR11500

Princesse Columbia (FR) Comes off a good 3rd-place finish over 1850m at Hyeres in Class 4 Claiming Handicap on 28 June. She may be the one to side with from a good draw of two. Clemenza (FR) Finished 7th over 1600m at Clairefontaine in Class 3 Handicap on 26 July. Is a big runner on previous three outings. Expresso James Winner of last two starts, the latest of which was over 1400m on this course in Class 4 Claiming Handicap on 30 July. He is in a good space and can bring up the hat-trick. Red Torch Decent last two starts. Finished 4th over 1600m on this course in Class 4 Handicap on 4 August. With luck from his awkward draw, he should have a say.

RACE 6: ST POURCAIN STAKES (TURF TRACK) – 1400M – TIME: 18:45 PRIZE MONEY: EUR12500

Magic Stars (FR) Returned to winning ways over 1600m at Clairefontaine in Class 3 Handicap on 26 July. Drops to Class 4 and can follow up with another victory. Long Story Short (FR) In good form. Finished 2nd over 1400m on this course in Class 3 Handicap on 15 July. She should produce another honest effort and can go close. Saskatoon Has been disappointing this year. Finished behind Long Story Short when 9th over 1400m on this course in Class 3 Handicap on 15 July. If finding his form from last year, he would not be a shock winner. Amalya (FR) Disappointing last two starts. Finished unplaced over 2000m on this course in Class 4 Handicap on 14 July. She takes a drop in distance which could do the trick.

RACE 7: POUILLY HANDICAP (TURF TRACK) – 2400M – TIME: 19:15 PRIZE MONEY: EUR14400

Vasigreen (FR) Has run two fair races this year. Finished 5th over 2400m at Compiegne in Class 3 Handicap on 21 July. She is having her peak run and may be the horse to side with.

Lagoone Chope (FR) Finished 2nd over 2400m on this course in Class 4 Handicap on 25 July. She jumps from a good draw of three and merits healthy respect.
