Race Preview
R1 – PRIX IJOCKEY – PRIX DU MEDOC – 1000m (a5f) – TURF – Condition Race – Maiden – Flat – EUR € 23.000
1. GOWAY – Fair third on Marseille -Borely 1000m debut and is likely to be smarter this time. Has
a winning chance and will contest the finish.
2. ELUGO – Well beaten on debut and was only fourth in a claimer in her second start. She needs
to do more to win this race.
3. CHATAIGNE – Showed promise when she was third on her debut. Can be smarter this time and
has a winning chance.
4. DAIQUIBERRY – Runner-up on her debut at La Teste de-Burch 1000m. That could be the best
form in this line-up and she can go one better.
5. MA GRISE – A well beaten eighth on debut over La Teste de-Burch 1000m. Can improve but the
others are preferred.
6. GOTTA SKEDADDLE – She has shown promise in both starts to date and looks very likely to
fight out the finish yet again.
Summary : A competitive juvenile event. DAIQUIBERRY (4) can go one better off a promising
debut. CHATAIGNE (3) did run well when third on debut and can have more to come. GOTTA
SKEDADDLE (6) has run well twice but her rivals are open to more improvement with only run
under their belt. GOWAY (1) showed promise on his debut and is clearly not out of it either.
SELECTIONS
DAIQUIBERRY (4) – CHATAIGNE (3) – GOTTA SKEDADDLE (6) – GOWAY (1)
R2 – HANDICAP DE BORDEAUX – 1600m (a1m) – TURF – Divised Handicap – Class 2 – Flat – EUR € 53.000
1. HURRICANE – Disappointing seventh over this course and distance in a handicap last time out.
Capable of doing better and is not out of it.
2. PASSALITO – He may have been anchored by the penalty of penultimate race win. Capable of
doing better and could finish in the money.
3. BAYOUN – A disappointing end to his 2022 campaign with two moderate runs. He was also
moderate the last two times he raced in handicap and is likely to need this comeback run.
4. WALKING PAINTING – He won on debut in April 2022 and has done well since. Fit for his first
run in a handicap and he has a winning chance.
5. NORDESTE – Fair third in Spain last time out. Probably prefers the PSF these days but is
consistent in handicaps and could play a minor role.
6. DANTES – Very disappointing last two runs. Has been runner-up off this mark in handicap before
and has actually won a handicap off a higher mark.
7. GOLDINO BELLO – Clearly needed his comeback run but might need this run as well. He is
probably best watched for now.
8. DIZZY – Fair form shown in his two starts this year. She won a handicap the only time she
contested one and she has a winning chance in this race.
9. OXIANA – A bit disappointing when only sixth in a handicap last time out. Has won on the turf
but did better on the PSF this year. Can place.
10. LARIS – In good form of late and is coming off a course and distance handicap win. Up 2kg for
that win but could follow-up.
11. ASCOT ANGEL – Not disgraced when runner-up at Toulouse in his only run of this year. Has
been struggling in his handicaps but can place.
12. LILY ROSE – She has been unreliable since her only win and was seventh in a handicap last
time out. Has a chance in an open race.
13. MASSA CHOP – Well beaten in all three starts of 2023 including twice in handicaps and others
are preferred this time.
14. GIFT OF THE G – In good form. He likes this course and there is no real reason he cannot
contest the finish yet again.
15. EL TORERO – A runner-up in all four of his handicaps this year and deserves a change of luck
and a winning turn.
16. ELYMAS – Fair fifth last time out and won a handicap in penultimate start. He has a winning
chance in this line-up.
Summary : A very open race and not too many can be safely discarded. DANTES (6) has been
very disappointing of late but has won off a higher handicap mark in the past. LILY ROSE (12)
should improve on a recent seventh-place finish and could be the surprise package. WALKING
PAINTING (4) will be fit for his handicap debut and should fight out the finish. DIZZY (8) is one of
many others that can win this race.

R3 – PRIX RFM – PRIX DU TREMBLAY – 1400m (a7f) – TURF – Condition Race – Class 2 – Flat – EUR € 22.000
1. SINNERMAN – Off the mark on second career start at Marseille-Vivaux one month ago. Tries
the turf and steps up in grade.
2. FIRST PAGE – Won by 2L when off the mark at La Teste over a mile last month on fourth career
start. Should be in the mix.
3. NOLITO – One win from nine starts thus far and a clear second in a similar contest over course
& distance three weeks ago.
4. DODOMA – Broke maiden tag at Pau on the all-weather two months ago on second career start.
Tries the turf and cannot be ruled out.
5. ELM – Won first time out at Marseille-Borély last october before finishing down the field in a
Longchamp Listed Race two weeks later.
6. SABYA – One time winner from nine starts who seems regressive at present and others are
preferred.
7. TOMILA – Off the mark over 6f last October at Fontainebleau. A clear 2nd on comeback run at
Toulouse in a Class 1. Leading chance.
8. SAHARA SPRING – Registered a first career victory on seasonal bow on fibersand at Chantilly
last month, beating subsequent winner Fabuleuse. Player.
9. GREY INFINITY – Consistently finishes in the thick of things but faces a tough task in this division.
Place chance.
10. GOEVA – Won two from five last year, including a Class 1 at Longchamp. Posted a promising
comeback run at Chantilly last month.
11. KATALINA – A winner in Spain but French form leaves a lot to be desired. Can be passed over.
12. BOSTON ROSE – Won on debut at Tarbes last october before finishing 4th in a Class 2 at Pau
in November. See betting on seasonal bow.
13. SIDEDREAM – Made all to score cosily on debut at Compiègne in June 2022 over 7f. First start
new trainer and must be shortlisted.
Summary : ELM (5) looked promising last year and must be closely monitored on her seasonal
debut, in particular since she is trained by the in-form Jérôme Reynier. TOMILA (7) will come on
from her promising comeback run at Toulouse and is the main danger. Off since June last year,
the well-esteemed SIDEDREAM (13) is one for the shortlist. DODOMA (4) is an interesting
contender trying the turf.

ELM (5) – TOMILA (7) – SIDEDREAM (13) – DODOMA (4)
R4 – PRIX CALICEO BRUGES – 1600m (a1m) – TURF – Divised Handicap – Class 3 – Flat – EUR € 20.000
1. IDAHO JAMES – A close 3rd in a similar contest last time out over course & distance, behind
two of today’s rivals. Can turn the table.
2. PASTICHOP – Won a handicap at Pau on fibersand last February but down the field in two starts
since then.
3. SHALAWAY – Has yet to win after sixteen career starts but showed better intentions in last run
at La Teste and can pick up some prize money.
4. JAMAIS LE SAMEDI – Lightly-raced maiden filly whose last two runs in this division were
encouraging. Place chance.
5. VAZY NINIAN – Not devoid of ability but struggling to recapture best form after a lengthy break.
Others preferred.
6. WHIPPIERRE – Far from disgraced when a close 6th in the race of reference run at the venue
on 2 April. More needed to win though.
7. SUPER CUTE – Not sighted in first five starts of 2023 but showed better intentions in last outing
at Mont de Marsan. Still has a few lengths to find.
8. STRANGER – Bounced back to form in a similar event at Senonnes twelve days ago and in
similar form, will have his chances.
9. FARZANEH – Ran better than last placing suggests at La Teste and with further progress, is
capable of winning.
10. LIEBE KINDER – Poor recent form is probably reflective of his chances and can be passed
over.
11. MAMA JUANA – Yet to score after nine starts but has been in the shake-up in her last three
outings and is one for the places.
12. LA CATELLA – Sound winner or her last start over the course & distance. Has a 5.5 pounds
penalty to defy this time.
13. LA FILLE DE BERLIN – Useful mare in this division but unlikely to win off current mark.
Remains a plausible place prospect.
14. DON’T TELL TALES – Seven times winner from eighty-six who is now 10 pounds below his
last winning mark. Not out of it.
15. SALSA DOLOISE – Posted a couple of creditable performances on the all-weather at Pau this
winter but disappointed in last two on turf.
16. VICTORY CAT – Erratic mare who remains very capable on a good day. Hard to predict but
last run was solid so is hard to ignore.
Summary : FARZANEH (9) left a very positive visual impression in her last two starts and without
troubles in the running, she is capable of winning. A game third in this division last time, IDAHO
JAMES (1) is sure to run his race once again and warrants some serious consideration. JAMAIS
LE SAMEDI (4) is unexposed and will win very soon a race of this level. VICTORY CAT (16) can
pop-up in the places at a bigger price.

R5 – PRIX LAURENT VIMONT – PRIX DE LA VILLE DU BOUSCAT – 1600m (a1m) – TURF – Divised Handicap – Class 3 – Flat – EUR € 27.000
1. RAKAN – Ran a much better race than last placing at Longchamp shows. Ships a long way and
yard is in good form.
2. SILVER SILENT – Not the most consistent performer but is proven at the track and off current
mark. Cannot be ruled out.
3. CAESARS PALACE – Won two from three starts this season and seems to be still on a workable
mark. Include in calculations.
4. LE HAVRE DREAM UP – Enjoyed a fruitful 2022 with three wins from five runs. Not sighted in
two outings this season and must reaffirm.
5. WERSEILLER – Has a harsh penalty to defy after making it two from four this year but is just
impossible to rule out.
6. NUIT D’ALIENOR – Has not won a race for some time now and although did show some progress
in last start, remains hard to fancy.
7. VILLERS – Runner-up in last two including on first attempt in a handicap at Toulouse last month.
Leading claims.
8. PICWOCKY – Won a handicap on the all-weather at Pau last February but unplaced in three
outings since then. Well-placed in the weight.
9. OCAMONTE – A winner at La Teste in May last year. Has done little of note since then and is
hard to make a case for.
10. TRUJILLO – Never finishes far from the action n this division. Has run well at the venue before
and can be in the mix.
11. NOIRE DESIRE – Consistent for the most part but still in search of a first success after 15 starts.
Down in the weight and on a workable mark.
12. LEXINGTON FORCE – Just the one win from twenty-six starts but on a good mark and can
grab a place.
13. BALEGRIO – Dual winner who has been disappointing in both starts in 2023 and must reaffirm
at present.
14. CHARM KING – Reassured in last two runs, including latest over course & distance. On a
workable mark and can be in the mix.
15. KATHALINA – Posted some creditable efforts in this division last year. Wil come on for his
comeback run and can pick up some prize money.
16. ELCOT – Placed once in seven starts over the past fourteen months and is unlikely to shake
things up.
Summary : RAKAN (1) posted an excellent late finish effort when last seen at Longchamp.
Entrusted to Maxime Guyon, he has a leading chance. VILLERS (7) showed at Toulouse that he is
on a workable mark and could give a lot to do to the selection. Despite the penalty WERSEILLER
(5) remains a serious player in a race of this league. PICWOCKY (8) is better placed in the weight
at present and could pop-up in the places.
