Race Preview

R1 – PRIX DU CANTON D’ECOMMOY – 1100m (a5 1/2f) – TURF – Condition Race – Maiden – Flat – EUR € 23.000

1. RUE MIA – Unplaced on only run over 1100m in March. Needs a good deal of improvement to
feature.
2. GOLDENA – 5th on the only run at Moulins over 1000m 10 days ago. Will need more to feature.
3. MARY GOLD – Ran with promise on her only race at Chantilly over 1000m 14 days ago. In the
mix.
4. BUCKLE UP BABY – 5th on debut at Saint-Cloud earlier this month. Can improve off that run
and should not be overlooked.
5. WAITING CALL – Colt by ATTENDU, the Dam was placed. Any market support should be noted
on the debut.
6. KEDUREV – A son of HUNTER’S LIGHT, the Dam was placed. Sure to put in a bold effort on
the racecourse debut.
7. LEWIS BERE – Unraced son of SEAHENGE, the Dam never ran. Market guide best to expected
performance.
8. BALSAM – Unraced by WOOTON BASSETT, the Dam never ran. Will be nicely tuned for her
debut and a good run is expected.
9. DO IT FOR ME – Unraced filly by PENNY’S PICNIC, the Dam won twice. Market guide best to
chance on debut run.
10. FRIDAY I’M IN LOVE – Unraced filly by SHALAA, the Dam was a maiden. Sports cheekpieces
for debut, but can give a good account. Any market support should be noted.
11. WEDGEWOOD SAPPHIRE – Unraced by TORONADO, the Dam was a maiden. Market best
guide to expected run.
12. DIZZLE DAZZLE – Unraced by FAS the Dam was a winner on the flat. The market best guide,
but should be involved.

Summary : BALSAM (8) a daughter of the speedy WOOTON BASSETT can make a winning start
on her racecourse debut, she will be well-educated by connections. KEDUREV (6) is another
making his first appearance in public and is sure to be nicely prepared for today’s race. FRIDAY
I’M IN LOVE (10) wears cheekpieces for her opening race, maybe she lacks focus but she has
speed in her pedigree and can get involved. MARY GOLD (3) is one for the place backers, as she
ran with promise at Chantilly and will improve for that experience.

BALSAM (8) – KEDUREV (6) – FRIDAY I’M IN LOVE (10) – MARY GOLD (3)

R2 – PRIX DU CANTON DE SAVIGNE-L’EVEQUE (PX S.C. DE LA CHARTRE-SUR-LE-LOIR) – 1950m (a1 3/16m) – TURF – Condition Race – Class 2 – Flat – EUR € 22.000

1. ONCE UPON A TIME – Unplaced when last seen but a 3rd place effort at Pornichet over 1600m
in March was a nice run. Not to be overlooked.
2. PALAIS DU LOUVRE – Won at Fontainebleau over 2200m last month by 2.5L. Progressive and
is a definite player in this.
3. CENTORINA – 2nd on the latest outing at Pornichet over 2100m in late March. Is still improving
and should be thereabouts.
4. COLONIA VICTORIA – Won at Angers over 2000m last November. Races off some time away,
but should be fit and is in the mix.
5. LA FILOMENA – Won with plenty to spare at this venue over 1950m last month. Looks
progressive and is a leading contender.

Summary : With plenty more to come from LA FILOMENA (5) she can follow up over the course
and distance and win again. PALAIS DU LOUVRE (2) is another who seems to be getting better
with experience and can once again play a leading role. COLONIA VICTORIA (4) comes here off
a break but should be fit and is sure to be involved at the business end. COLONIA VICTORIA (4)
should also be considered on her run at Angers last November, she can be a threat.

SELECTIONS
LA FILOMENA (5) – PALAIS DU LOUVRE (2) – COLONIA VICTORIA (4) – ONCE UPON A
TIME (1)

R3 – PRIX DU CANTON DE MAMERS – 1950m (a1 3/16m) – TURF – Condition Race – Class 2 – Flat – EUR € 22.000

1. ALERIO – 3rd at Compiegne over 2400m in March. Rarely runs a bad race and can once again
be in the mix.
2. FELLOW – 4th at Saint-Cloud over 2100m on the latest outing earlier this month. Looks up
against it.
3. SOLAR SCIENCE – Won two starts ago at Deauville over 1900m last November. Needs a lot of
improvement to trouble some of these.
4. AGADOR – Looked very honest when winning over 2150m in January. Has had a nice break
and is the one to beat.
5. ONLY THE BRAVE – Unplaced on the latest two runs. Won prior to those runs at Dortmund
(Germany) over 1950m. Others preferred.
6. EAGLE ROSE – Won at Fontainebleau over 1800m 21 days ago. Can be expected to give
another good account today.
7. AFTER THE RAIN – A winner two starts ago over course and distance in a Class 2. Can play a
leading role.
8. PREMIER AMOUR – 3rd at Morlaix over 1600m 10 days ago. Lacks experience and needs much
more against some useful rivals.
9. FULL PRECIEUX – 5th at Fontainebleau over 1600m in a Class 2 10 days ago. Will not lack
fitness but needs a bit more.

Summary : Some nice types line up here and AGADOR (4) has had a nice break since winning at
Cagnes-Sur-Mer in January. He won with a bit to spare that day and is the one the rest should fear.
AFTER THE RAIN (7) is a course and distance winner, she can make the likely favourite go and is
a serious threat. EAGLE ROSE (6) is on the upgrade and arrives full of confidence after a nice win
at Fontainebleau. ALERIO (1) has a fair amount of talent and should once again run a good race
after a recent third at Compiegne.

R4 – PRIX DU CANTON DE SABLE-SUR-SARTHE – 1400m (a7f) – TURF – Condition Race – Class 3 – Flat – EUR € 15.000

1. SAMBA VANILLA – Unplaced on the latest outing in late December. Won at Pornichet in early
December over 1600m. In the mix.
2. BLACK CESS – Was a winner at Angers over 1600m 15 days ago. Could be involved at nice
betting odds.
3. VAYDENA – Good 2nd on only start last June over 2000m at Saint-Cloud. Plenty of winners
have evolved from that race. Form pick.
4. GREY BELLE – Has been racing in the UK, with the latest run over 1400m at Southwell in
January. Hard to fancy.
5. SUNRAY – Unplaced on the latest runs, a couple of Listed Races on two occasions. 4th at
Longchamp over 1950m in September was a good effort. Not to be dismissed.
6. BRASSAVOLA – 4th on the latest run over 1200m earlier this month. Needs a bit more to feature.
7. AMIRAVATI – 5th on the latest outing over 1800m in late March. Has plenty of talent and can
make her presence felt.

Summary : Although VAYDENA (3) has not been seen for some time, she ran a very good debut,
with numerous winners coming out of the race since and she should be ready for her return.
AMIRAVATI (7) has enough talent to serve it up to the likely favourite and should put in another
good performance. SUNRAY (5) has been quite highly tried in recent outings, with two attempts in
Listed Races. This is calmer waters, and she can be involved. SAMBA VANILLA (1) can not be
ruled out either.

VAYDENA (3) – AMIRAVATI (7) – SUNRAY (5) – SAMBA VANILLA (1)

R5 – PRIX DU CANTON DE LA-FLECHE – 1400m (a7f) – TURF – Claiming – Flat – EUR € 12.000

1. FIRST ON THE SCENE – Good 4th two outings ago at Fontainebleau over 1400m. Drops in
grade and has enough ability to play a prominent role.
2. ALL OR NOTHING – Unraced Colt by SOLDIER HOLLOW, the Dam was a maiden. Can be
expected to be in the mix on debut.
3. GRAND FETARD – Unplaced on the latest outing. 3rd at Senonnes over 1350m in March. Needs
more to feature.
4. FIRST LADY TIME – Got tired on the latest outing after some time off the track. Can strip fitter
for that run and be involved.
5. WE CAN DO IT – Won by 15L in a claimer at the start of this month over 1700m. Bit below par
on a recent outing, but can make presence felt.
6. GOT FOX – Unplaced on the last three outings. 4th at Morlaix in September over 1800m. Will
need to do bit more.
7. KHARKIV – Unplaced on the last two outings but was 2nd prior to that over 1350m at Senonnes
in late March. Others rate higher.
8. SHADE – 6th at Chantilly on the latest outing over 1300m in a claimer. Others look more
appealing.
9. NORMAN COWAN – 4th at Durtal over 2000m, that was only 10 days ago. Others look more
persuasive.
10. COMTESSE DU BARRY – 5th at Marseille Borely over 1200m in March. One for the each way
backers.
11. ZIA – 3rd behind WE CAN DO IT (5)over 1700m earlier this month. Has a bit to find on a number
of today’s rivals to feature.
12. ANDELUNA – Unplaced on the last outing. But a nice 2nd at Pau over 1600m in February.
Leading chance.

Summary : ANDELUNA (12) has every chance of getting off the mark in a race that will not take a
lot of winning. FIRST LADY TIME (4) could be the biggest danger to the selection, she was likely
in need of her recent outing and can strip fitter today. FIRST ON THE SCENE (1) was below par
on his latest appearance and is not straightforward, but has enough ability to win one of these
events and should not be ruled out. WE CAN DO IT (5) fluffed his lines on his latest run after a
facile 15L win before that. He can be involved.

SELECTIONS
ANDELUNA (12) – FIRST LADY TIME (4) – FIRST ON THE SCENE (1) – WE CAN DO IT (5)

R6 – PRIX DU CANTON DE LA-SUZE-SUR-SARTHE – 3200m (a2m) – TURF – Condition Race – Maiden – Flat – EUR € 13.000

1. BLACKYANO DEVIL – Unplaced last two outings, latest at Durtal over 2900m in November,
needs more to feature.
2. LUCA WANIA – Unplaced only run over 3200m at Saumur in April. Best watched for the time
being.
3. JET BLAST – Unplaced only run 2850m at Loudeac on the 10th of April. Will need to do a lot
more.
4. KERICLIF – A recent run was over hurdles. A good 2nd on only previous flat run over 2700m
last October. Can play a major role.
5. CAP FAREWELL – 4th at this venue over 3200m in late March. Has a good chance of finding
winning form.
6. L’AUTRICHIEN – 7th at Saumur on the 2nd of April over 3200m. Needs a lot of improvement to
feature.
7. NORQUI DES ROSES – 3rd over 2500m on 16th March. Can enjoy the extra distance and has
each way claims.
8. PRINCESS GREY – 2nd at Saumur over 3200m at the start of this month. Can have a live chance
of being involved.
9. TCHAKOVA – 6th at Machecoul on the latest outing over 2350m in March. Ought to be in the
shake-up.
10. KING KARA – Unraced by WALZERTAKT, the dam won on the flat. Market best guide to
performance expected.
11. PRINCE DE GALLES – 3rd over hurdles at Auteuil over 3600m in October. Has ability and
may place on flat debut.
12. EAGLE DU LEMO – An unraced gelding by SRI PUTRA, the dam won 6 races. Betting market
best guide.
13. ECCICA SUARELLA – Has had 2 runs over hurdles the latest in August last year. Hard to fancy.
14. REBELLE WILLONG – Filly by COCKNEY REBEL, the Dam won over hurdles. Market best
guide to expected performance.
15. BRICIOLA – Unraced Filly by GALIWAY, the Dam was placed. Expected to give a good account
on debut.

Summary : CAP FAREWELL (5) has the right credentials to win this after a nice effort at this venue
in March. KERICLIF (4) had a run over hurdles when last seen, but should play a leading role back
on the level. BRICIOLA (15) has an eye-catching pedigree and can be expected to be ready on her
debut to give a good account of herself. TCHAKOVA (9) has previous decent course form and can
not be ruled out of this, she is one for the place backers.

R7 – PRIX DU CANTON DE SILLE-LE-GUILLAUME – 3200m (a2m) – TURF – Handicap – Class 4 – Flat – EUR € 14.000

1. SPIRIT OF DANCE – Unplaced latest, 2nd prior to that at Royan over 2900m 23 days ago.
Leading contender.
2. GRAZANO – Good effort when 3rd at Fontainebleau over 3000m 21 days ago. Will be fit and
likely to give another good account.
3. ELYT OF GOLD – 3rd on the latest outing at Senonnes over 2100m 13 days ago. Another good
run expected.
4. DANCE THE BLUES – 4th at Chantilly over 2700m on the all-weather in late March. Key player
here.
5. FATALISME – Unplaced latest outing second at Senonnes over 2900m prior to that in March.
Should not be overlooked.
6. FLASH DES SOURCES – Has yet to show any real ability on the flat. The latest two runs in 2023
were after a two-year absence. Hard to fancy.
7. THE PREACHER MAN – Four unplaced runs so far. Very little to go on and others appeal more.
8. IRISH RAMBO – A fair 4th at Fontainebleau on the latest start over 3000m 10 days ago. Can
place.
9. REBEL QUEEN – Five unplaced runs won at Le Lion D’Angers prior to those outings over 3000m
in August. Needs to back to that level.
10. SUMMIT – Four unplaced recent efforts. 2nd at Le Croise-Laroche over 2500m in October. Best
watched.
11. MY DARLING – Unplaced latest outing, 3rd before that at this venue over 3200m. Nice eachway choice.
12. FIVE BY FIVE – Unplaced latest two outings, third before that at Chantilly over 3200m on the
all-weather in February. Needs more.
13. ECRIN DE CHABA – 5th on latest start at Paray-Le-Monial over 3000m 15 days ago. Others
look more appealing.
14. SUN DE L’ORME – Unplaced latest four runs, 2nd prior to those outings at Le Croise-Laroche
over 2500m in October. Top three chance.
15. ROUGE A SANG – 3rd when last seen at Fontainebleau over 3000m 10 days ago. Has outside
place claims.

Summary : In an open-looking handicap DANCE THE BLUES (4) will likely head the betting market
and looks to be in good shape after a recent good third at Chantilly on the all-weather surface, he
is the first choice. SPIRIT OF DANCE (1) has top weight but can not be left out of being involved
at the business end. SUN DE L’ORME (14) looks to have a good chance after a good run at Le
Croise-Laroche last month when finishing fourth. GRAZANO (2) is one for the each-way backers
after a good third when last seen at Fontainebleau.

SELECTIONS
DANCE THE BLUES (4) – SPIRIT OF DANCE (1) – SUN DE L’ORME (14) – GRAZANO (2)
