Race Preview

R1 – PRIX DE SCEAUX D’ANJOU – 2400m (a1 1/2m) – TURF – Condition Race – Flat – EUR € 16.500

1. KANDY PARK – Won well at Moulins over 2400m in mid-April when last racing. Major player
2. KLIPPER – Won by 2L at Saint-Bieuc on the latest outing over 2400m in mid-May. Key chance
3. KRISTAL DU SEUIL – Won at Vichy on only run so far over 2400m last month. Can progress
from that and is sure to be involved
4. KESKONRIX – Two unplaced efforts so far, the latter over 2300m at Durtal on April 23rd. Others
rate higher
5. KADOR DE ROCHAUDE – Nice effort when 2nd behind KLIPPER (2) over 2400m in mid-May.
Can not be discounted
6. KARACENE – 2nd on the last run over 2400m at Saint-Brieuc in mid-May. More needed to win
but has place claims
7. KOKO PRINCE – Newcomer by Kitkou, the dam was unplaced. Any market support should be
noted
8. KANDALIUS – Newcomer by Pastorius, the dam won a Listed chase. Market best guide for clues
9. KLOVIS DES MOTTES – An unraced gelding by Clovis Du Berlais, the dam was a winner. Market
signals are often informative

Summary : KANDY PARK (1) was a good winner when last seen at Moulins in April. He can
improve off that success and will be difficult to beat. KLIPPER (2) has work to do to turn around the
form of when fourth on debut to KANDY PARK (1) at Moulins, but that was his first run and he was
a 2L winner when last seen at Saint-Brieuc. He can make more of a race of it this time. KRISTAL
DU SEUIL (3) was a narrow winner on debut at Vichy, but she seemed to have a bit in hand. With
improvement, she can make her presence felt. KARACENE (6) makes up the shortlist.

SELECTIONS
KANDY PARK (1) – KLIPPER (2) – KRISTAL DU SEUIL (3) – KARACENE (6)

R2 – PRIX EDMOND FORESTIER – 2400m (a1 1/2m) – TURF – Claiming – Flat – EUR € 12.000

1. REBEL ANGEL – A bit below par on the last outing, but a winner before that at Fontainebleau
over 2200m in March. Form pick
2. RAZI – Class drop, 3rd three runs back over 2400m at Angers in late April. Ought to be in the
shake-up
3. IRAKLIOS – Well beaten on the last run over 2500m in late May. Others hold stronger claims
4. DSCHINGIS MASTER – Won three runs back over 2900m at Durtal in late April. One for the
shortlist
5. PEARL DOCTOR – 6th at Dieppe on the last run over 2400m in late May. Needs more but can
make the frame
6. LE BETULLA – Well behind on only run over 2650m in early May. Unlikely to trouble some of
these
7. STARS AND STRIPES – Can improve off a 4th placed effort on only run so far over 1800m in
late May. Consider
8. SLICK CHICK – Has some talent having won in Ireland over 1400m in September. Two unplaced
runs of late, the latter over 2400m in late May. Can place
9. BELLA CIAO – Out of the frame in two runs so far, the latter over 2300m on May 24th in a
claimer. Vulnerable
10. KOULIKOFF – Unplaced on the latest outing over 2400m in late May. Has shown very little
form so far. Overlook
11. NARCISSA – 4th in a claimer over 2400m in mid-May on only start. Others make more sense
12. MA BEREZINA – 4th on the only run so far over 2700m at Orleans in mid-May. Does not appeal
as the likely winner

Summary : REBEL ANGEL (1) was a bit below par on her most recent outing, but a winner before
that at Fontainebleau on only her second try on French soil. She was a winner when trained in the
UK by Mark Usher. She is the tentative choice. RAZI (2) is the likely main rival as he drops into this
claiming grade for the first time and is more than capable of winning. DSCHINGIS MASTER (4)
has some talent and was a winner three outings ago at Durtal, he ought to have a say. PEARL
DOCTOR (5) looks best of the remainder.

SELECTIONS
REBEL ANGEL (1) – RAZI (2) – DSCHINGIS MASTER (4) – PEARL DOCTOR (5)

R3 – PRIX CHRISTIAN DE TREDERN – 1400m (a7f) – TURF – Condition Race Qualifier – Class 4 – Flat – EUR € 14.000

1. PREDETERMINED – Goes for a hat-trick of wins, the latest was over 1400m at Le Mans on May
24th. Player
2. ESTACITY – 4th three runs back over 1350m in mid-April. Needs more to have a say in the finish
3. ZEYZOUN – Nice run when 2nd at this track over 1400m on May 8th. Sets the standard
4. BOBBY’S WAY – Fair run when 4th at this track two runs back over 1400m in early May. Ought
to be on the premises
5. GUADALEST – Won three runs ago over 2000m at this track on April 9th. Can make the frame
at long odds
6. BIRD OUT – Two out-of-the-frame runs in 2023, the latest over 2000m at Pau in January. Others
preferred
7. REVE DE MAGRITTE – Three unplaced runs, the latest over 1400m when 5th in mid-May. Has
work to do
8. GREGGY – 2nd at Saint-Cloud on a most recent outing over 1400m in mid-May. Ought to make
presence felt
9. CHILLI PRINCESS – Nice 2nd two runs back at Saint-Cloud over 1300m in mid-April. Likely to
play a lead role
10. MADRAS – Gets in off a nice weight and was a fair 4th two runs back over 1400m at this track
in early April. Consider

Summary : ZEYZOUN (3) has decent placed form at this track on his last three runs at this venue,
he has a good chance of getting his head back in front this time. PREDETERMINED (1) will not
make it easy after winning his last two races, one of them at this racecourse over 1400m in early
May. GREGGY (8) did well when second on her last outing and is among the top chances. CHILLI
PRINCESS (9) is worth considering after a good second two starts ago and can not be left out.

SELECTIONS
ZEYZOUN (3) – PREDETERMINED (1) – GREGGY (8) – CHILLI PRINCESS (9)

R4 – PRIX DE L’AMBASSADE REG. DES CONFRERIES (PRIX DU HARAS DE BEAUMONT) – 3000m (a1 7/8m) – TURF – Condition Race Qualifier – Class 4 – Flat – EUR € 14.000

1. KAPTAIN NORDIK – Fair 2nd two runs back over 2250m at Parislongchamp in mid-May. Can
place at nice odds
2. RUSSIAN TWIST – Easy winner by 6.5L when last seen at Savenay on May 28th. Looks set for
a hat-trick
3. KING MOTIF – Ran well when 4th at Le Mans over 2300m in late May. Can not be ruled out
4. ANGELO DREAM – Fair 3rd over 2650m on the latest run in mid-May. Likely to give another
good account
5. NORQUI DES ROSES – A couple of decent-placed runs of late, the latter over 3200m at Le Mans
when 2nd in May. Capable of making the frame
6. FINITO PIPO – Has numerous unplaced efforts since winning over 3000m last August. Looks
safely held
7. AMERICAN SAINT – Reasonable effort when 3rd over 2200m in late May at Rostrenen when
last racing. Consider
8. NEVER COME BACK – 2nd three runs back over 2600m at Morlaix in early April. Competitive
run expected
9. BONNY GLITTERS – Two unplaced runs recently, 2nd before that was over 1700m in March at
Pornichet. Needs to get back on track
10. FLUTE EN SOL – 2nd over 2300m at Le Mans on May 24th, can improve off that run as it was
the first in 2023. Player
11. STORMY BAY – Couple of unplaced runs of late, 3rd before those over 2900m on May 8th.
Others preferred
12. MEISHO FELICITY – Three unplaced runs of late, the latter over 2800m in early May at
Compiegne. Has work to do
13. STORMY FLOO – 3rd at Vannes on the latest run on June 3rd over 2200m. Others look more
equipped

Summary : RUSSIAN TWIST (2) has been in terrific form of late and was a facile winner by 6.5L
when last seen. The hat-trick of wins seems likely. FLUTE EN SOL (10) can be a lot more forward
from a good second on her opening run of 2023 last month and looks like the biggest danger to the
selection. ANGELO DREAM (4) was a good third on his latest outing and can not be overlooked
for being in the shake-up. KING MOTIF (3) is another that merits consideration after a fair effort
when fourth on his last appearance at Le Mans.

SELECTIONS
RUSSIAN TWIST (2) – FLUTE EN SOL (10) – ANGELO DREAM (4) – KING MOTIF (3)

R5 – PRIX DU CONSEIL DEPARTEMENTAL DU MAINE-ET-LOIRE – 2000m (a1 1/4m) – TURF – Handicap – Class 4 – Flat – EUR € 14.000

1. JACQUES COEUR – Solid effort on the latest outing when 2nd over 2100m at Saint-Cloud last
month. Sets the standard
2. SPEED BALL – Has won off 3kg higher last November, but has shown very little form since.
Unlikely
3. PHILOSOPHY – Unplaced last time, 4th before that over 1950m in late April. Needs more to get
involved
4. GLOBAL CONTEXT – Nice 3rd over 1900m on the last outing at Bordeaux Le Bouscat on May
27th. Leading contender
5. KONIG CHOUCHEN – Fair 3rd at Saint-Cloud over 2100m on May 16th on the last outing. Each
way must
6. WHITENIGHT – Nice 2nd on the last outing over 2200m at Vannes 12 days ago. Hard to overlook
7. ANDROS GIRL – Five runs so far all in 2022 when unplaced each time, the latest over 2400m.
Can be overlooked
8. RED DUMA – A winner two runs back over 1700m in mid-May and a fair 4th most recently over
2500m. Merits consideration
9. CHARLOTTE TAGADA – Has dropped to a reasonable rating, a fair run last time when 5th over
2100m on May 16th. Can make the frame
10. PERFECTO – Has had four runs in 2023, the latter over 1950m 10 days ago when 5th. Looks
safely held
11. MISSRIYA – 4th over 1950m on the latest run at Chateaubriant on May 17th. Place chance
12. OK BOOMER – 3rd over 2400m at Nantes on the last run in early May. Ought to be thereabouts
13. HYGROVE BEC – Numerous unplaced runs recently. Has shown very little form for some time.
Look elsewhere
14. ONCLE FERNAND – 4th three runs back over 2100m at Chantilly in mid-April. Others make
more appeal
15. GUAPA HUNTER – Has four unplaced runs of late, 2nd before that over 2100m in November
at Pornichet. Others preferred
16. BALINA GARY – Has several unplaced runs of late, the latter over 1900m in late April. Looks
out of form and best watched

Summary : Top weight might not be enough to stop JACQUES COEUR (1) from getting a deserved
success after some solid efforts of late, with a good second at Saint-Cloud on his latest outing in
mid-May, that run gives him every chance of going one better. GLOBAL CONTEXT (4) has been
running well herself and could pose the biggest rival. KONIG CHOUCHEN (5) was a close third at
Saint-Cloud on his last run and is the each-way option. OK BOOMER (12) is another to include in
the place permutations.

SELECTIONS
JACQUES COEUR (1) – GLOBAL CONTEXT (4) – KONIG CHOUCHEN (5) – OK BOOMER
(12)
