Race Preview
R1 – PRIX XAVIER CEBRON DE LISLE – 1400m (a7f) – TURF – Condition Race – Maiden – Flat – EUR € 23.000
1. C COMME CA – Seems to be improving, 4th over 1200m on May 8th. Should like the step up in
distance and play a role
2. JOHN STEED – Last of 12 on only run so far over 1000m in March. The extra 400m will have to
bring out a big jump in progress for him to be involved
3. KEDUREV – A bit below par on the last run over 1200m three weeks ago, after a 3rd on debut.
Not to be overlooked
4. AQUILA VOLANTE – Ran on well in the latter stages when 3rd at Le Lion D’Angers on May 8th.
Form pick
5. ENERGIC – Can only progress from the debut run over 1200m earlier this month. Better run
expected
6. ROUANITA – Out of the frame on only run at Chantilly over 1000m on May 9th. Looks safely
held
7. ANGIOLLETA – Green on debut and will be more at home over the extra 400m. Ought to be
thereabouts
8. MARA WOOD – 5th of 7 on the only run so far at Chateaubriant over 1100m 15 days ago. Needs
more to figure
9. BAHIA BLANCA – A winner of a claimer over 1300m at Saint-Cloud two weeks ago. Can be in
the shake up
10. BUCKLE UP BABY – Unplaced over 1100m on April 25th on the latest outing. Steps up in trip
but needs vast improvement to feature
11. CRISTAL DE MAULDE – Two unplaced runs so far, the latter over 1000m two weeks ago.
Others preferred.
12. LILY OFTHE KINGDON – Newcomer by Robin Of Navan, the dam was a 7-time winner. Market
guide best for expected performance
Summary : AQUILA VOLANTE (4) should appreciate the extra 200m today as he ran on well from
the rear when finishing third at Le Lion D’Angers on his latest outing on May 8th. BAHIA BLANCA
(9) has her first run for new connections, she was claimed after winning at Saint-Cloud two weeks
ago. She will also like her first attempt over the 1400m journey and could pose the main rival. C
COMME CA (1) has shown progression on each run so far and looks like the best each-way option.
ANGIOLLETA (7) can take a step forward from her debut and is in the mix.

R2 – PRIX DU BOIS ROUAUD – 1600m (a1m) – TURF – Condition Race – Class 2 – Flat – EUR € 22.000
1. BENNETOT – Finished 1.5L behind MAROON SIX (2) when they met last month over 1600m
and meets on less favourable terms weight-wise. Needs to step forward to win but is a player
2. MAROON SIX – A decent 3rd over 1600m in a Class 2 race in mid-April. Can build on that and
looks the one to beat
3. BRAZILIAN SURPRISE – A winner two runs back over 1600m at Chantilly on March 7th. Below
par on last run. Can make presence felt
4. SPEEDY CHARM – A winner on the level last October over 1600m at Saint-Cloud. Has been
over hurdles on the last three runs. Looks booked for a place claim
5. BLUE STARS – 4th two runs back in a Class 2 race at Fontainebleau over 1600m. Looks safely
held
Summary : MAROON SIX (2) was a decent third in a competitive Class 2 race on his most recent
outing and looks the logical choice ahead of his likely main threat BENNETOT (1) who was 1.5L
behind in fourth when they last met, today he is on worse terms by 4.5kg. BRAZILIAN SURPRISE
(3) was a bit below par on her most recent outing, but a nice winner at Chantilly before that over
1600m in early March. She can shake up the likely front pair in the betting market.

R3 – PRIX GROUPE ATLANTIC (PRIX PASSAGE POMMERAYE) – 1600m (a1m) – TURF – Handicap – Flat – EUR € 20.000
1. SINDERELLA – Nice run on the second try in a handicap at Dieppe when finishing 2nd over
1800m on May 6th. Player
2. VICTORIA ROSE – Has been out of the frame on the last three runs, 2nd before that at Dieppe
over 1400m. Needs to get back on track
3. VOTE FOR PEDRO – Nice run when 2nd on the latest outing over 1700m in late April. Tries his
first handicap and can be on the premises
4. TREZY BOUNTY – Fair 4th over 1600m on a most recent outing on May 15th. Can have a say
in the proceedings
5. DEAU COEUR – 4th at Saint-Cloud over 2400m on the most recent run on May 12th. Others
make more appeal
6. VILLEMACHO – Was beaten narrowly when 4th at Fontainebleau over 1600m on May 3rd on
the last run. Can get first win
7. LA MOMY – A fair 2nd at Bordeaux Le Bouscat three runs back over 1600m in early March. Has
work to do
8. IRISH GLITTER – Unplaced on the last run, but 4th before that over 1600m at Chantilly over
1600m. Capable of being in the frame
9. APASH – Out of the frame on the last two runs. 2nd over 1600m on April 2nd. Might find a few
too good
10. JIEPIES MELODY – 2nd two runs back at Nantes over 1600m on April 22nd. Looks the each
way option
Summary : VILLEMACHO (6) looks the best option after a good run when narrowly beaten into
fourth over 1600m at the start of May. SINDERELLA (1) was a good second on her second try in a
handicap earlier this month and is sure to be involved. VOTE FOR PEDRO (3) tries a handicap for
the first time after a nice second in late April over 1700m, he can be involved at the business end.
JIEPIES MELODY (10) gets in off the bottom weight and can get involved.

R4 – PRIX CALI (PRIX DE GRASLIN) – 2200m (a1 3/8m) – TURF – Divised Handicap – Class 4 – Flat – EUR € 16.000
1. OLYMPE TEA – Has dropped to a reasonable handicap mark. 4th at Le Mans two runs back
over 2300m on April 29th. Can be in the shake-Up
2. NEVER COME BACK – Did well when 2nd three runs back over 2600m at Morlaix in early April.
More needed to get involved
3. SPRINGBOKS – Unplaced last run, but won the two races before that, the latter over 2400m on
March 22nd. Place claims
4. SENEPARK – Has been performing well enough without winning of late to suggest a win is on
the horizon. This looks like a nice opportunity
5. IRISH SOUL – Has had two runs in 2023, a nice 4th on the latest over 2650m on May 17th.Merits
consideration
6. SPATIAL MERIT – Out of the frame on only run of 2023, and not seen before that for 19 months.
Best watched for now
7. PUTUMAYO – Out of the frame on the last two runs, 2nd before those over 1950m on April 28th.
Others rate higher
8. JACK’S SON – Fair effort when 3rd at Angers over 2300m on May 11th on the latest run. Live
contender
9. SAVILE ROW – Nice win at Saint-Cloud over 2100m on the most recent run on May 16th. Sure
to be involved
10. AGAMEMNON – 2nd at Angers on the latest run over 2300m on May 11th. Looks a solid eachway option
11. MADULAIN – Out of the frame in a claimer on the last run over 1800m on May 29th. Best
avoided
Summary : Although unplaced on a number of latest outings SENEPARK (4) has been performing
as though a win is not far away, this could be his opportunity. JACK’S SON (8) knows how to win
having won five times before, he was a nice third on his latest outing in mid-May and can make his
presence felt. OLYMPE TEA (1) has dropped in the ratings and is more than capable on her day.
She can not be ruled out. IRISH SOUL (5) makes up the shortlist.

R5 – PRIX MEDAILLES JEUNESSE ET SPORTS (PRIX DE LA VENDEE) – 2200m (a1 3/8m) – TURF – Divised Handicap – Class 3 – Flat – EUR € 20.000
1. SALOCIN – 2nd on the last run over 2400m at Nantes on May 6th. Won his three races before
the last outing. Player
2. BAMCALYB – Not seen since a 3rd at Deauville last November over 1900m. Might need return
race
3. KER STORMY – Won over 2400m at Nantes on the last run on April 22nd. Has plenty to offer
4. MAT LA FRISTOUILLE – Has won his last two races. The latter was over 2500m on May 14th.
Can play a prominent role
5. MAN OF LAW – Out of the frame on only run this year over 2000m in May. Capable of making
the frame at nice odds
6. MEDITERRANEA BLUES – Needed the race at Dieppe over 2400m when making a return after
8 months away. Best watched for now
7. MODERN VALUE – Lost out by a narrow margin when 2nd over 2500m on April 8th. Good
opportunity of getting that deserved win
8. RADIANT SKY – Unplaced on the last run, but a win before that over 2200m in March. Others
rate higher
9. AD LIBITUM – Has had a couple of unplaced runs of late, but a nice 3rd before those over 2000m
in early April. Looks competitive
10. POPORO – Off since a 4th over 2300m last August. Best watched on return run off a layoff
11. KAPTAIN NORDIK – Has been threatening to win after two nice 2nd placed runs of late. Another
good account likely
12. MARGESSON – Gets in off the lowest weight. A couple of good runner-up places on the last
two starts. Warrants plenty of respect
Summary : Although she has yet to get her head in front in 13 attempts, MODERN VALUE (7) has
been running well recently. She was a good second at Nancy in early April when narrowly beaten.
This might be her best chance so far. SALOCIN (1) knows how to win having won seven times
previously. He can be on the premises once again. AD LIBITUM (9) needs to find his form again
after a couple of below-par efforts but is capable of giving a good account of himself. KAPTAIN
NORDIK (11) can not be ruled out of making the frame.
