R7 – PRIX DE LA BRUCHE – 3000m (a1 7/8m) – TURF – Condition Race – Class 4 – Flat – EUR € 9.500
1. JUST YOU AND ME – 5th on the latest outing at Toulouse over 2400m 17 days ago. Others
appeal more.
2. VISIONARY DREAMER – 2nd at Nancy over 2500m 13 days ago. Is a must for the each-way
backers.
3. DIANA – 3rd at Angers over 4000m in November. That was a decent run and ought to be involved.
4. AURELIA AURITA – Three unplaced efforts of late, but a nice 2nd at Nancy over 2500m in
November. Not to be overlooked.
5. INVITE D’HONNEUR – Has been plying his trade over hurdles and fences, and has some ability.
Hard to know what to expect on flat debut.
6. FUTURE – Has yet to win in 19 attempts after trying various trips. Has plenty to find to get that
first success.
7. GINO STAR – Unraced by IT’S GINO, the Dam won twice on the flat. Any market support should
be noted.
8. MOODY CHOP – Has yet to get the head in front in eleven attempts. A 3rd at Nancy 19 days
ago over 2500m was encouraging. Can play a role.
9. ZAHEDAN – Finished unplaced on the latest two runs, but a fair effort when 3rd at Lyon Parilly
over 2000m last May. Merits consideration.
10. LAMALINK – A winner at Paray-Le-Monial over 3000m 11 days ago. Will not lack fitness and
can place.
11. MOONFLIGHT – Unplaced on the latest outing but won prior to that at this track over 2350m
last May. Will be fit and can play a leading role.
12. MAYDANA – 3rd at Vittel over 3400m last July. Could improve for return after a long absence.
13. BOTTECI – Three unplaced runs. Has shown very little ability so far and others appeal more.
Summary : MOONFLIGHT (11) has good course form at this track and looks like a key player
again today. DIANA (3) should be fit from a layoff and is the main threat to the selection. ZAHEDAN
(9) can be forgiven for two unplaced runs and play a role in the finish today. AURELIA AURITA (4)
needs to revert back to a second-place effort a few starts ago at Nancy to be involved but is more
than capable.

R8 – PRIX PAS DE DEUX – 1600m (a1m) – TURF – Condition Race – Newcomers – Flat – EUR € 27.000
1. MY LORD – Lucie Pontoir-trained Lord Du Sud gelding on debut.Hugo Journiac rides.

to note.
3. MADIGAN – Well-related Oasis Dream gelding trained by Yann Barberot. Warrants respect with
Dorian Provost aboard.

Galiway newcomer. Watch.
5. KHODINOV – Tony Piccone rides this gelded son of Silas Marner on debut for trainer Romain
Le Dren Doleuze.
6. THE CELT – Raven’s Pass colt trained by the skillful Edouard Monfort. Was supplemented here
with Gérald Mossé to ride.
7. TROPISME – Well-bred Kingman gelding who is related to 2012 Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe winner
Solémia. Of particular interest.
Summary : This opening event, which is reserved for three-year-old newcomers, could go the way
of well-bred Kingman gelding TROPISME (7) who is trained by André Fabre. Pivotal colt BURSARD
(2) also makes plenty of appeal so could play a leading role. Yann Barberot-trained MADIGAN (3)
and THE CELT (6), who was supplemented for this, are others to note on debut.

1. PAPYRUS ROAD – 4th at Madrid (Spain) last November. Should be fit for return and expected
to be on the premises.
2. ASGARD – 5th at this track in March over 2000m. Should be wiser for that run and should not
be overlooked.
3. TRIOMPHE DE MAINE – Two unplaced runs so far, the latest at Fontainebleau last month over
2200m. One to watch.
4. JUWEL – A 4th place effort at Nancy over 2500m in March on the latest outing. Needs more to
be involved.
5. CASTLE CREEK – Well beaten on only run at this venue in March over 2000m. Others rate
higher.
6. NEW LIGHT – Unplaced on the only run at Strasbourg over 2000m last November. Can be
watched for now.

to play a role.
8. A FLY GIRL – Unplaced on the latest run at Nancy over 2000m 13 days ago. Happy to watch.
9. MAGIC STARS – Unplaced over 2400m at Lion D’Angers on the latest run in March. A good run
expected.
10. HENRIETTA BLACK – Unplaced at Lyon La Soie in March over 2150m. Others make more
appeal.
11. GAMBIA SUN – 3rd at Mannheim over 1900m 19 days ago. Improving and can play a role.
12. CRACKLIN’ROSIE – Unplaced on debut at this venue in March over 2000m. Hard to fancy.
13. PUERTA DEL SOL – Ran with plenty of promise at Chantilly last month on debut. Can progress
and be sharper for first racecourse experience, should be hard to beat.
14. ZUMA – Unraced filly by CLOTH OF STARS, from a good yard that does well with fillies. Betting
support should be noted.
15. DEIRA – Daughter of MR OWEN who is making her debut. Market best guide to performance
expected.
16. RUNA – Unraced filly by SEABHAC, the Dam was placed, any market support should be noted.
Summary : PUERTA DEL SOL (13) ran with promise on her debut at Saint-Cloud and is the
selection to improve off that and play a major role today. GAMBIA SUN (11) is the likely main threat
to the selection. A nice effort when third at Mannheim recently, she is improving with racing and
warrants respect. ZUMA (14) an unraced daughter of CLOTH OF STARS can be expected to put
in a good run on debut. MARIE TREZY (7) is another to consider for the place backers.

R10 – PRIX QUERIDO – 2400m (a1 1/2m) – TURF – Condition Race Qualifier – Class 3 – Flat – EUR € 26.000
1. GOLDEN CALL – Good 5th in a Listed race last time after winning over this trip on his
reappearance. Can bounce back to winning ways.
2. ALLADA – Off since winning a Listed race in November but is open to further improvement. Can
make her presence felt.
3. EQUINOXE – Consistent for the most and likely to improve after a much-needed comeback run.
Place chance.
4. SRIFANELOGREEN – Has maintained his consistency after going up in the weights and will be
fitter after a comeback run. Can play a role.
5. UTAMARO – Ultra-consistent stayer on both the grass and PSF last year. Absent since
November but is capable of playing a role on his return.
6. DIAMOND VENDOME – Dropped 1,5kg after a comeback outing at Angers but is probably more
effective at a lower level. Outsider.
7. LA FILLE DU SUD – Has struggled for consistency since she was raised in the weights after
winning over this trip at Saint-Cloud in October. Others preferred.
Summary : GOLDEN CALL (1) won over 2400m on his reappearance before finishing a hugely
commendable 5th in a 3000m Listed race last time, and on the strength of that form should bounce
back to winning ways here. ALLADA (2) won a Listed at Lyon-Parilly to close out 2022 and is open
to further progress on his return, so could pose the biggest threat for a stable that has been in good
form recently. SRIFANELOGREEN (4), after a much-needed comeback outing, and consistent
UTAMARO (5), on his return after 5 months out, complete the shortlist.

R11 – PRIX PARADE D’AMOUR – 1600m (a1m) – TURF – Condition Race – Newcomers – Flat – EUR € 27.000
1. ZANONA – Siyouni filly out of Zayva who won on debut three years ago. Could follow suit here.
2. KAWARETH – Andre Fabre-trained Oasis Dream debutante for Al Shaqab Racing. Arthur Mossé
takes 3,5kg off.
3. OLYMPIADE – Le Havre newcomer to note with Gérald Mossé riding for Mikel Delzangles. Lurker.
4. EGYPTIENNE – Newcomer by Al Wukair who Eddy Hardouin rides for Adelaïde Budka.

active sire Loe De Vega. Cost €120,000 as a yearling.
7. ARISTOCRAZY – Cristian Demuro teams up with this Gavin Hernon-trained Kingman filly from
a good German family. One to note.
8. SONORA – Well-related Shamardal filly owned by Godolphin and representing the formidable
Fabre-Murzabayev combination. Keep safe.
9. MISS CANTIK – Ioritz Mendizabal rides this Recoletos debutante for Amy Murphy who has
enjoyed a good run of success in France. Respect.
10. FURI DE LA HOUSSAY – Goek filly who is another Mikel Delzangles-trained debutante in the
lineup. Sophie Chuette takes off 2,5kg.
11. BELLONE – Marie Vélon takes 1,5kg off the back of this Shalaa debutante trained by JeanMarie Béguigné.
Summary : Siyouni debutante UKRAINE (5) is of particular here as a daughter of Zarkava’s halfsister Zarakiysha, so she gets the nod in this newcomers’ race for three-year-old fillies. ZANONA
(1) is another daughter of Siyouni to be followed closely. Godolphin’s Shamardal filly trained by
André Fabre, SONORA (8), is likely to attract attention too and must also be respected. ISLA DEL
SOL (6) cost €120,000 as a yearling and is another to consider with Stephane Pasquier booked to
ride.

1. WHERE CHOP – Two 2nd place runs at Toulouse of late, the latter 17 days ago over 2400m.
Form pick.
2. TRIPTAJIKA – A good 3rd at this track was recently over 2000m in March. Not to be overlooked.
3. AS DE JUILLEY – Needed a recent run earlier this month. 3rd at this track last November over
2350m. Outside place chance.
4. LA CINTURA – Six unplaced efforts and a 6kg drop in the ratings. Out of form and difficult to
fancy.
5. VICTOR LAZZLO – Many unplaced runs and has dropped over 5kg in the ratings as a
consequence. Hard to fancy.
6. FULLSTRIP – Unplaced on the latest three outings. Needs to find form of old to feature.
7. MY BUDDY – Unplaced on the latest run, but won at Chantilly over 1900m on the PSF in
February. Each way banker.
8. WELL DE VINDECY – 3rd at Nancy four runs ago over 3000m in October. Merits consideration.
9. MONALIE – A winner at this track two runs ago in October over 2100m. May need return run for
fitness.
10. MOREMI – A nice 2nd at this venue was over 2000m last month. In form and has a key chance.
11. PERFECT LIAISON – 8th of 17 at Chantilly on the PSF last month over 1900m. Has dropped
in the ratings and can feature.
12. RIVER LILLY – Unplaced on the latest run but was not beaten too far in 8th place. Needs more
to feature.
13. DORALICE – Probably needed the run last month when returning from a break. Others
preferred.
14. AZAZEL – A good 3rd at Lyon La Soie two starts ago over 2150m in late March. Ought to be in
the shake-up.
15. GO GO BLITZ – Numerous unplaced runs over various trips. Best watched for the time being.
16. CONTESSA VERDE – Has shown very little form for some time. Happy to avoid at present.
Summary : WHERE CHOP (1) ran well when racing at Toulouse on both of his latest runs when
second on both occasions, he is the selection. MOREMI (10) has quite useful recent course form
and poses the biggest danger. AZAZEL (14) was a good third at Lyon La Soie a couple of outings
ago and she looks an each-way must. PERFECT LIAISON (11) can also play a role and is one for
the place backers to look at.

2. SENZA TE – Mathieu Boutin’s Sommerabend debutante. No jockey engaged at the time of writing.
3. GO WITH THE ROSES – Goken debutante from the in-form stable of Adrien Fouassier. Shortlist.
4. GOGOGADGET – Another of Xavier Richard’s newcomers, this Goken colt will be ridden by
Ludovic Boisseau.
5. BANGARA – Finished a pleasing 5th on debut at Salon-de-Provence and would have come on
since. Respect.
6. MISSTIFLY – Made an encouraging debut when 5th in claiming race. WIll have more to offer.
7. GOFAS – Was slightly disappointing when only 7th on debut but should improve for that
experience. Chance.
8. LASAIR – Runner-up over this course and distance on debut and ought to go one better with
any improvement.
9. BAWE ISLAND – Well-beaten 9th on debut so will need to improve a great deal to have a say.
Outsider.
10. JEEZ LOUISE – Unplaced in each of her 3 starts so is hard to make a case for. Overlook.
Summary : LASAIR (8) was claimed after finishing 2nd on debut over this course and distance
and, with any improvement, should open her account for new connections. The stable of Adrien
Fouassier has been in good form recently so the chances of newcomer GO WITH THE ROSES (3)
will have to be respected. GOFAS (7), BANGARA (5) and MISSTIFLY (6) are likely to improve after
pleasing introductions so could get into the picture.

2. WOW – A 3rd place run at Mannheim (Germany) over 1900m 19 days ago. Can play a role.

well.
5. WALDKAUZ – 2nd at Saint-Cloud over 2100m 20 days ago. Should be involved again at the
finish.
6. INNIS – Two unplaced latest runs. A winner at this venue over 2100m in September. Needs more
to feature.
7. DARLING CHALLENGE – Unplaced on the latest outing in September, was 4th prior to that at
Vittel in August over 2100m. Could need return run.
8. REVENTADOR – Has not been seen since November when 2nd at Chantilly over 2100m. May
need return run.
9. MR RIEM – Won at Strasbourg over 2000m in March when last seen. Likely to give another good
account.
10. GLORY DAYS – Unplaced on the latest two runs. Won at Amiens over 2200m last September.
May lack fitness from a layoff.
11. LAURA TREZY – Has dropped 7kg in the ratings, and her latest run was a 5th-place finish at
Chantilly over 1900m. Needs more.
12. SCHERWOOD – Four unplaced efforts of late. Won at Strasbourg over 2350m in October. Place
claims.
13. ANTRIM – A 2nd place run at this venue over 2000m in late March on the latest outing. Not to
be dismissed.
14. SWEET MASTER – The most recent effort was a 4th-place finish over 1400m at Nancy 13 days
ago. Looks competitive.
15. AFTERGLOW – A number of unplaced efforts over various distances. Has dropped in the
ratings but is hard to fancy.
16. SCILIAR – Not seen since an unplaced run in December, was 4th prior to that over 2000m at
Nancy. Can be overlooked on return.
Summary : TAFSER (1) is the selection after a good second-place effort last time and she can go
one better today. WALDKAUZ (5) also ran with credit when second at Saint-Cloud and he can
pose the biggest danger to the selection. WOW (2) performed well when third at Mannheim
(Germany) when last racing earlier this month, and is one for the each-way.

1. OTTERY – Impressive winner on her comeback and will have more to offer. Follow.
2. SOLAIRE – Most experienced runner in the field. Unplaced in 3 starts at Meydan and on her
return to France last time. so is hard to make a case for.
3. HEARTACHE TONIGHT – Well-related debut winner who ought to have improved a great deal
over the winter. Include.
4. ELUSIVE PRINCESS – Finished 4th at Dieppe on debut and won all 3 of her subsequent starts.
Could have even more to come.
5. FORELSKET – Winner of both her starts on the PSF and an unknown quantity on the turf. Keep
safe.
6. CROWN PRINCESSE – Was a promising 2nd on debut and improved to win her next start. Also
open to further progress.
7. AMELIELYMPIQUE – Unbeaten on the turf after bouncing back to winning ways in her last start,
having finished 3rd on the PSF in her comeback. Respect.
8. HIGGLE – Confirmed the promise of her debut 2nd when winning last time and is open to further
progress.
Summary : This traditional Prix de Diane (Gr. I) prep is likely to go the way of André Fabre, who is
doubly represented by OTTERY (1) and FORELSKET (5). The former appears the pick of the
stable’s runners on riding arrangements after winning on her reappearance, while the latter is
undefeated in 2 starts on the fibresand. The biggest threat to the Fabre duo is debut winner
HEARTACHE TONIGHT (3) who is open to any amount of improvement on her comeback from a
6-month absence. AMELIELYMPIQUE (7) has both the form and experience to play a role too.

R16 – PRIX RAE JOHNSTONE – 2000m (a1 1/4m) – TURF – Claiming – Flat – EUR € 19.000
1. SAISISSANTE – Up 3kg for winning a handicap last time out but capable of following up with her
rider taking 2,5kg off the back.
2. CORIA – Highest-rated runner in the lineup. Disappointed in a claiming race last time but could
redeem herself.
3. FRENCH ATOLL – Winner at Machecoul last month and reassured with an improved 4th in his
last start. Could confirm.
4. GREAT PROMISE – Has been disappointing in 2 starts on the turf after a comeback 3rd on the
PSF. Could reaffirm in this grade.
5. LADIVA – Yet to win but has been consistent for the most part in conditions races. Respected at
this level.
6. LA CERDAGNE – Well-beaten 8th in both starts, on the PSF and on turf. Drops in class but
others preferred.
7. ENDUSCIP FAL – Showed improvement in his second start when 4th on the PSF but failed to
confirm on the turf last time. Outsider.
8. NEW WHIPPER – Made no impression in either of his 2 outings, so hard to make a case for.
9. COUP GAGNANT – Has looked devoid of ability in 2 starts. Unlikely threat even at this level.
10. OCTOBER CHOPE – Has looked rather ordinary for some time now, so chances limited even
at this level.
11. DREAM WUKAIR – Unreliable sort but is capable of staking a claim in a race like this. Lurker.
12. SPIRIT CUTTER – Has been struggling for some time now and is unlikely to trouble the judge.
Summary : SAISISSANTE (1) has won 2 of 3 starts this year and was raised 3kg for winning his
latest outing in handicap. It could still pay to follow her progress, though, with her rider taking off
2,5kg. LADIVA (5) is still a maiden after 7 starts but could pose the biggest threat here on debut at
this level after dropping in the weights. Both CORIA (2) and GREAT PROMISE (4) have not been
at their best in recent starts but could get a look in.
