prominent role can be expected on her first day at school. DEA MATRONA (6) is by a speedy
stallion DARK ANGEL and market moves for her should be noted. SOUPLESSE (10) makes up

guide best watched
Summary : A very small field of unraced three-year-olds line up over 2400m which suggests the
need for stamina could be key. SHERADANN (1) trained by Francis Graffard looks good on paper,
his dam was very useful, winning at Group 3 level. He is the selection. GOLIATH (2) has plenty of
stamina in his pedigree and should stay every yard of this distance, he can give the likely favourite
something to think about. DANSE S Y (3) has the assistance of Christophe Soumillon and can play
a role. ROATAN (4) needs to be watched in the betting market.

pedigree she can win this. EVOLVING (8) could be the one to chase home the Fabre filly.

Ought to play a role

run likely

on track

Can be involved

21st. Player

15. STORMY FLOO – Has been out of the frame on the last two runs. A winner in October over

Summary : With Maxime Guyon in the saddle DAY OFF (4) could get back in the winner’s
enclosure in an open-looking handicap. LADY LOU (6) will try to make life difficult for her rivals and
was a good fourth at Parislongchamp over 2150m on April 30th. FEELIN LUCKY (13) looks a must
for the each-way backers if running to the form shown at Toulouse when fourth at that track on
March 6th. ALERIC (12) was a nice winner at Nantes earlier this month and can once again be
involved at the business end.

the proceedings

5. CIVNYAN – A winner two runs back at this venue over 2400m on March 28th. Each way must
6. TENNESSEE JOHN – Has been out of form with several unplaced efforts. Hard to see him
involved

to win

at this track earlier this month. Player

from the handicapper, can not be passed over

Sure to be on the premises
12. BOARDING TIME – Has shown very little form for some time over different distances. Can be
avoided
13. PAROVNA – A fair 4th on the last run over 3100m on May 7th. Needs a bit more to feature
14. DREAM AGAIN – Has numerous unplaced runs over several different trips of late. Best watched
for the time being
15. EL WADI – Has been out of form for some time over different distances. Not of interest on
current efforts
Summary : A nice run when third at this track on May 12th by ESTOKENIA (8) when finishing
narrowly ahead of her likely main danger FALWUKAIR LAUJAC (9) who was back in fourth that
day, with Christophe Soumillon keen to ride him again, it may well be a race between the pair.
CIVNYAN (5) is a winner at the track and is an each-way must. ESPOIR LONGUEEN (11) has
been threatening to win after two recent seconds and can be involved once again. ANIMA LIBERA
(7) has good course form and should run another good race.
