R13 – FONDATION CLAUDE POMPIDOU – PRIX DES FLEURS – 1350m (a7f) – TURF – Condition Race – Class 2 – Flat – EUR € 27.000
1. INTELLECT – Good 2nd in a Class 2 race over 1400m when last seen 10 days ago. Can win
2. GREY MAN – Won on debut on only run to date over 1350m at this track on June 3rd. Key
chance
3. LAULNE – Won over 1100m at Chateaubriant when last seen on June 5th. Should like the extra
250m. In the mix
4. TULIPA CHOPE – Nice win over 1200m at Bordeaux Le Bouscat on the only run so far on May
15th. Can not be discounted
5. M’SILLA – Won at this track over 1350m on 3rd June when last racing. Might find a few too good
6. LOYAL PRINCE – Out of the frame when last seen over 1000m on June 1st. Yet to win in five
runs and others are preferred
Summary : INTELLECT (1) ran a very good second in a Class 2 race at Parislongchamp when
last seen 10 days ago. He will be difficult to beat. GREY MAN (2) scored a cosy success at this
track 22 days ago and looks like the biggest danger. TULIPA CHOPE (4) can only improve after a
win on her debut over 1200m last month at Bordeaux Le Bouscat, she can not be overlooked in a
race where four of the six runners have claims of winning.

INTELLECT (1) – GREY MAN (2) – TULIPA CHOPE (4) – LAULNE (3)
R14 – GRAND PRIX DE LYON – 6E ETAPE DU DEFI DU GALOP – 2400m (a1 1/2m) – TURF – Condition Race – Listed – Flat – EUR € 60.000
1. MIKA D’O – Ran 4th in the race that FENELON (2) won at this venue on May 20th, has a bit of
leeway to make up but rates a threat
2. FENELON – Nice win over 2400m in a Listed race at this track when last seen on May 20th.
Major player
3. MY LYKA – Fair 4th over 2400m at Chantilly on June 4th on the most recent outing. Others make
more appeal
4. SIR FILIP – Last ran over 2800m at Dortmund (Germany) when 2nd in a Group 3 race in
September 2022. Might be better for this outing
5. EXCELSIOR – Ran 2nd over 2700m in a Class 3 race when last seen on May 18th. Can not be
discounted
6. AL NAYYIR – Out of the frame when last seen at Meydan (UAE) in March over 3200m in a Group
2 race. Useful performer and can play a lead role
7. GOLDEN CALL – Won a Class 1 handicap over 2400m last time on June 4th at Chantilly. Place
claims
8. PENDULUM VALLEY – Out of the frame on the last run over 2400m at Chantilly on June 4th.
Others rate higher
9. AUDE – 6th in a Class 2 race over 2400m on the most recent run on May 27th. Has work to do
Summary : In a well-contested Listed event, FENELON (2) is preferred, he was a winner at this
venue when last seen in a Listed race in late May, and he holds strong claims of following up. MIKA
D’O (1) was fourth behind FENELON (2) when they met at this track last month. Not beaten far
that day, he can pose the biggest problem. AL NAYYIR (6) has been plying his trade in the UAE
through the winter and spring and is one for the each-way backers to look at. EXCELSIOR (5) has
been shaping well in good races and can once again give a good account of himself.

FENELON (2) – MIKA D’O (1) – AL NAYYIR (6) – EXCELSIOR (5)
R15 – PRIX DE SAINTE-BLANDINE – 1350m (a7f) – TURF – Divised Handicap – Class 3 – Flat – EUR € 19.000
1. MANAROLA – Decent 4th at Saint-Cloud over 1500m on June 6th when last seen. Among the
top chances
2. SIYOUANGEL – 5th on the last run over 1500m at Saint-Cloud 19 days ago. Will be cherry ripe
for this task
3. BOBIK – Fair 3rd two runs back over 1400m at Strasbourg on May 8th. Can not be overlooked
4. DIEPPE – 3rd two starts ago at Chantilly over 1300m in January, the last run was in February
when out of the frame. Vulnerable
5. MADOUSS – Fair 4th at Strasbourg over 1400m 13 days ago. Can play a lead role once again
6. OLAF THE BIG ONE – Nice win over 2000m on the all-weather surface last time in late May.
Can make the frame
7. ACCLAM – Has been unplaced on the last four runs, the latest over 1400m in late May. Others
preferred
8. TAPETEN TONI – Ran 3rd over 1600m on the latest run on May 29th. Has work to do to feature
9. ELECTROSCOPE – Unplaced on the last two runs, 3rd before that over 1600m in February.
Limited -appeal
10. SECRET FEELING – Several unplaced runs in 2023 over various trips. Looks out of form and
is best watched
11. GREGGY – Won over 1400m on the last start at Le Lion D’Angers on June 15th. Ought to be
thereabouts
Summary : SIYOUANGEL (2) has put in two credible runs this year and looks ready to get her
head back in front. Her main rival could be MADOUSS (5) who was a fair fourth at Strasbourg when
last seen 13 days ago. Top weight MANAROLA (1) can not be ruled out and is one to include in all
of the place bet permutations. Recent winner GREGGY (11) gets in off bottom weight and will be
full of confidence after her success 10 days ago at Le Lion D’ Angers.

R16 – PRIX DU LOUP PENDU – 1350m (a7f) – TURF – Divised Handicap – Class 4 – Flat – EUR € 16.000
1. NATIONAL VELVET – Has won over course and distance before. The last run was 4th at Moulins
over 1400m on May 27th. Each-way angle
2. I DARE – Has several unplaced runs since winning at Nimes over 1200m in February. Needs to
get back on track
3. SAKHARAH – Out of the frame on the last three runs, 4th before that over 1400m in March.
Makes limited appeal
4. MUGUETTE GIRL – Ran 4th three runs back over 1100m at Salon-De-Provence on April 5th.
First run at this track and others preferred
5. ASTRACHEM – Fair 2nd over 1100m on the last outing on May 29th at Salon-De- Provence.
Has work to do to figure
6. ZANTARIO – 4th at this track on the last run over 1600m on June 17th. Nice racing weight and
has strong claims
7. LA FIBRE – Won at this track over 1600m on June 17th when last racing. Can make presence
felt
8. MAKHZEN – Won two runs back over 1350m at this track and was a good 2nd over 1600m on
June 17th at this venue. Player
9. CHARM WRENS – 5th at this venue on the last run on the 10th of June over 1350m. Merits
consideration
10. MURRAYFIELD – Nice 2nd two runs back over 1400m at Moulins on May 27th. Ought to be on
the premises
11. ASTROLOGO – Has numerous unplaced efforts over different trips recently. Out of form and
best avoided
Summary : ZANTARIO (6) is a regular performer at this track and has won here over 1600m three
times before, he should gain his first success over the shorter distance in this. MAKHZEN (8) is a
live contender, he has scored at this track over this distance recently and can once again give a
good account of himself. NATIONAL VELVET (1) is another that can not be overlooked when racing
at this racecourse as she is a course and distance winner in June 2022. LA FIBRE (7) makes up
the shortlist.
