Race Preview

R9 – PRIX JEAN-CLAUDE NAPOLI – 2400m (a1 1/2m) – TURF – Condition Race – Class 2 – Flat – EUR € 22.000

1. LAOS – Showed some improvement last time out when fourth and is a course and distance
winner. Supplemented for the race and should fight out the finish
2. BELGIAN PRINCE – Has been in good form this year winning twice and was not disgraced when
fifth at Parislongchamp last time out. Be right there at the finish
3. MY CHARMING PRINCE – Bounced back to form with a good runner-up run at Parislongchamp
last time. Has a winning chance in this field
4. MONT STEELE – Disappointing last run when seventh over this course and distance in a
handicap last month. Needs to do more to win this race
5. SCENARISTE – Disappointing form of late over shorter. This distance will suit her better and she
could finish in the money

Summary : A small field but there are at least three of them capable of winning. MY CHARMING
PRINCE (3) ran well when runner-up at Parislongchamp last time out and can go one better.
BELGIAN PRINCE (2) was a bit disappointing when only fifth last time out as he has been in good
form this year winning twice already and will go close. LAOS (1) is a course and distance winner
who has been supplemented for the race and is not out of it.

SELECTIONS
MY CHARMING PRINCE (3) – BELGIAN PRINCE (2) – LAOS (1) – SCENARISTE (5)

R10 – PRIX LAURENT BRUNA – 2400m (a1 1/2m) – TURF – Claiming – Flat – EUR € 15.000

1. KARTHAGE – Fair form so far without winning. Has run well twice over this course and distance
and should run well dropped to a claimer
2. TARAJAL – A bit of a disappointment when fifth in a handicap last time out over this track and
trip. Did better before that and should contest the finish
3. LOST GENERATION – His only win so far was a claimer in his penultimate start. Disappointed
when only seventh in a handicap last time out. Place chance
4. ZOFF – Did not shown much on debut when eight last month but is likely to improve dropped to
a claimer
5. L’IMPREVUE – Disappointing in handicaps of late but has been supplemented for this race so
expect improvement. Has a winning chance
6. MISS GREELEY – Only win was a claimer in her penultimate start but she did disappoint last
time out when sixth in a claimer

Summary : TARAJAL (2) was a disappointment when only fifth in a handicap last time out but that
form is good enough for this race and he could score. L’IMPREVUE (5) has disappointed of late
but has been supplemented for the race so improvement must be expected. ZOFF (4) was only
eighth on debut but should do a lot better dropped to a claimer. MISS GREELEY (6) has won a
claimer and deserves some respect for that win.

SELECTIONS
TARAJAL (2) – L’IMPREVUE (5) – ZOFF (4) – MISS GREELEY (6)

R11 – PRIX DES BENEVOLES – 1100m (a5 1/2f) – TURF – Claiming – Flat – EUR € 12.500

1. BANGARA – Much improved of late and was runner-up in a claimer last time out. Be right there
at the finish once again
2. MUCHAS GRACIAS – Only fifth in a claimer last time out and has not shown much in three
starts. Might place
3. NORONHA – Only modest form in her two starts so far but should improve dropped to a claimerconsider
4. FLOWERSPRING – Fair first two runs but was a disappointment at this track last time out. Has
a winning chance
5. SANTA VANILLA – Unreliable but did win her penultimate start. Disappointing last run but could
play a role at the finish
6. LOOMAN PARIS – A two-year-old colt By Morandi out of Lubine who is making his debut. Watch
the betting
7. NO WORRIES – A two-year-old filly by George Vancouver out of Hieroglyph who is making her
debut. Watch the betting
8. HAMIDA FILIES – A two-year-old filly by Goken out of Hamida who is making her debut- Watch
the betting
9. LUNA D’ORO – Wellbeaten in both starts so far but should improve dropped to a claimer. Could
finish in the money
10. DEMI TRAOU LAND – Well beaten on debut but showed improvement in second start when
fourth in a claimer. Has a winning chance

Summary : A weak claimer where BANGARA (1) could have the answers. Much improved of late
and has more to offer. FLOWERSPRING (4) disappointed at this course last time out but is capable
of better and is not out of it. SANTA VANILLA (5) is unreliable but deserves some respect for the
penultimate start win. NORONHA (3) has yet to fire but this may well be the race improvement is
shown.

BANGARA (1) – FLOWERSPRING (4) – SANTA VANILLA (5) – NORONHA (3)

R12 – PRIX FRANCE GALOP – 1100m (a5 1/2f) – TURF – Handicap – Class 3 – Flat – EUR € 19.000

1. LIGHT UP MY DREAM – Seems to have lost his way of late and was well beaten in both starts
this year. Others are preferred
2. WASACHOP – Third over this course and distance in a handicap last time out. Should finish
closer at revised weights
3. SOAN – Disappointing last run. Drops in distance and could be the surprise package of the race
4. THE DIG – Disappointed twice in handicaps since his claimer win and is probably best watched
this time
5. SANTI DEL MARE – Returned to form with a good win last time out in handicap over this course
and distance. Carries a 2.5kg penalty but can follow up
6. YAKAMETTE KOUKEBAK – Fifth over this track and trip twice this year. More needed to win
but should contest the finish
7. ARCO GRANDE – Unreliable but did win a handicap in his penultimate start. Anchored by the
penalty last time out and others are preferred
8. I DARE – Won three times in 2022 including over this track and trip but has struggled this year
and others are preferred
9. SLAM POET – He has lost his way of late. Tenth in a handicap last time out and more is needed
to win this race
10. VANILLE BLEUE – Disappointing last run when sixth over this course and distance. Capable
of better but others are preferred
11. NIGHT OF THE OPERA – Disappointed when ninth over this track and trip last time out.
Capable of much better and can bounce back
12. FEEL THE FEVER – Well tried this year without adding to her win tally but is in good form and
can finish in the money once again
13. EMPIRIC – On a very long losing streak and is very unreliable but does pop up in a place every
now and then
14. EXPLORAR – Has lost his way completely after last win in November 2022. Needs major
improvement to win this race

Summary : SANTI DEL MARE (5) picked up a 2.5kg penalty for the course and distance handicap
win last time out and can follow up. WASACHOP (2) has run well over this track and trip lately and
should be right there at the finish yet again. YAKAMETTE KOUKEBAK (6) might need to do more
that the recent fifth over this track and trip but is capable of contesting the finish. NIGHT OF THE
OPERA (11) is better than the last run and could bounce back to score.

SANTI DEL MARE (5) – WASACHOP (2) – YAKAMETTE KOUKEBAK (6) – NIGHT OF THE
OPERA (11)

R13 – PRIX DE FOS-SUR-MER – 2000m (a1 1/4m) – TURF – Claiming Handicap – Class 4 – Flat – EUR € 12.000

1. MONI – Has been at the top of his game in claimers this year so his last handicap run is best
ignored. Has a winning chance
2. SPORT COUPE – Disappointing last run. At best in claimers over this distance and has a course
and distance win. Go close
3. UGOTTHELOOK – More than a year since last win but was runner-up in a claimer last time out
and can go one better
4. SCORPIO – Good record in claimers so far and was runner-up over this course and distance last
time out. Has a winning chance
5. MUELHEIMER PERLE – On a long losing streak and has been better on the PSF when in France.
Could play a minor role
6. ALROMY – finished off 2022 with two wins but has not been as good this year and has only been
modest in claimers of late
7. CARUSO – Has yet to win a race and was well beaten in last three starts but did run well when
fourth the last time he tried a claimer. Might place
8. RIVER OF SILVER – Losing streak goes back to 2021. Well beaten in only start of this year and
needs major improvement to win
9. INTERIEUR – A disappointing record in claimers and last the wins were on the PSF but could
contest the finish
10. WELLINGTON ROSE – More than a year since last win but is distance suited and has run well
in a claimer before. Might place

Summary : UGOTTHELOOK (3) may have just been in need of the run when runner-up in a claimer
last timeout and he can break a losing streak. SPORT COUPE (2) is at his very best over this
course and distance in claimers and should fight out the finish. MONI (1) has been good in claimers
all year and is another that should be very competitive. INTERIEUR (9) may have it all to do for win
porpose but can earn some money.

UGOTTHELOOK (3) – SPORT COUPE (2) – MONI (1) – INTERIEUR (9)

R14 – PRIX ROGER ET EDGAR CHASTIN – 2000m (a1 1/4m) – TURF – Handicap – Flat – EUR € 20.000

1. SANTHIA – Winner of her last two starts and has been raised in the weights/ratings as a result.
Should remain competitive
2. JAGDA – Won her only handicap outing and has not been disgraced in better races/company
since. Capable
3. BAILEYS ECLAIR – Improved to win his last start but will need to raise his game a level to be
competitive here
4. KING OF MEADOWS – Bounced back to form last time when winning unextended to easily open
his account. Has claims
5. POSTERITY – Won at Marseille-Borély before finishing 4th last time and is at ease on good
ground. Has a leading role to play
6. UNION SQUARE – Consistent for the most part but has struggled to spark the improvement
necessary to stake a claim here
7. PROMICEA – Holding her form and is seldom far off the mark but has no more than a place
chance. Outsider
8. GERMINAL – Has been finishing close-up recently and should be competitive again. Ought to
make his presence felt
9. CELEB – Reassuring 2nd in his last start and should be competitive here if confirming that
improvement

Summary : Winner at Marseille-Borély two starts back, a chance is taken on POSTERITY (5)
returning to winning ways here on her handicap debut. SANTHIA (1) should remain competitive
despite successive penalties for winning her last two outings and can fight for victory. JAGDA (2),
who has taken part in conditions races recently, ought to have a say too. KING OF MEADOWS (4)
left a favorable impression by scoring at Marseille-Vivaux recently and appeals most of the
remainder.

POSTERITY (5) – SANTHIA (1) – JAGDA (2) – KING OF MEADOWS (4)

R15 – PRIX FRANCOIS BLANC – 2400m (a1 1/2m) – TURF – Divised Handicap – Class 4 – Flat – EUR € 16.000

1. AMANDERO – Unreliable sort but is quite capable of staking a claim in a race of this nature.
Dangerous to dismiss
2. LA BRUXELLOISE – Holding her form well, is consistent in this class and has enjoyed success
at this track. Chief threat
3. MISS ROAZHON – Finished 4th over this course and distance last time. Should have a role to
play on that form
4. TERRE SACREE – Seldom finishes far off the mark but needs to spark some improvement to
get into the picture
5. SYLVER SAMBA – Has finished runner-up in her last two starts so deserves to get her head in
front. Can return to winning ways
6. TARCENAY – Has struggled to regain any form or consistency for some time. Unlikely to trouble
the judge
7. MOKO – Has been getting closer in each of her last four starts, finishing 4th last time out. Has
claims with 3,5kg off the back
8. AMIATA – Undeniably capable but has been out of sorts in her last two outings, so needs to
reaffirm. Outsider
9. MALECON – Showed signs of improvement last time but must raise his game to get a look in
here. Outsider
10. TAEKWONDO – Has looked rather ordinary for some time now, so his chances are limited even
at this level. Outsider

Summary : SYLVER SAMBA (5) has hit the woodwork in her consecutive starts recently but should
score here and is taken to get the better of MISS ROAZHON (3), who has already won at Salonde-Provence. LA BRUXELLOISE (2) usually does well at this course and arrives in good order, so
should be competitive too. AMANDERO (1) is one to watch closely at this level and could also have
a say. MOKO (7) completes the shortlist.

SELECTIONS
SYLVER SAMBA (5) – MISS ROAZHON (3) – LA BRUXELLOISE (2) – AMANDERO (1)

R16 – PRIX ARMAND MOSSE – 2400m (a1 1/2m) – TURF – Divised Handicap – Class 3 – Flat – EUR € 20.000

1. GIPSY JET SEPT – An unreliable sort but is quite capable of staking a claim in a race of this
nature. Dark horse
2. INTO FAITH – Has won two of his last four starts but has seen his weight/rating increase as a
result. Has more to do
3. GRAND TATAKAN – Authoritative winner over this track and trip last month and can defy 2kg
penalty by going in again. Follow
4. GEORGIA – Is undeniably capable but has been out of sorts recently, so needs to reaffirm. Place
chance
5. DENIA – Did not go unnoticed when finishing 5th recently and will benefit from Manon Germain’s
allowance. Keep safe
6. BEB’S – At the top of his game at present and is likely to give this a good go once again. Has
obvious claims
7. FREE BREATH – Confirmed the improvement of his previous outing by winning last time. Has
more to do here but is not a forlorn hope
8. BEN DE DIANE – Has looked rather ordinary of late and is unlikely to trouble the judge on that
evidence. Overlook
9. MOUTRAKI – Has been running well lately but will need to raise his game a level to remain
competitive. Outsider
10. STADE VELODROME – Has won two of his last three starts but at a lower level. Faces a
tougher task here and is unlikely to have a say
11. VERLAN – Supplemented after a reassuring 2nd last time and should be competitive here if
confirming that improvement

Summary : An easy start-to-finish winner over this course and distance last month, GRAND
TATAKAN (3) could defy a 2kg penalty to win again. He cannot, however, let his guard down with
the likes of BEB’S (6), who has strung together a number of good performances, and DENIA (5)
likely to pose a threat. Like the latter, VERLAN (11) will also benefit from his rider’s allowance to
stake a claim.

SELECTIONS
GRAND TATAKAN (3) – BEB’S (6) – DENIA (5) – VERLAN (11)
