Race Preview

R1 – PRIX ALBERT JOSSELME – 1000m (a5f) – TURF – Condition Race Qualifier – Class 3 – Flat – EUR € 19.000

1. TRUST AHEAD – Has won his last two starts over 1400m, the latest at Saint-Cloud on June
19th. Should have the speed for this drop back in trip
2. AMAZON PRINCE – Won two runs back at Leipzig( Germany) over 1000m on May 1st. Has work
to do to feature
3. MR GOODNIGHT – Nice 2nd two runs ago over 1350m at Angers in mid-May. Can make
presence felt
4. TILL WE DIE – 2nd to INTREPID ITALIAN (5) when they met at this venue on May 20th over
1000m. Can have a say in the finish
5. INTREPID ITALIAN – Won over 1000m at this venue on the latest outing on May 20th. Likes this
track and trip
6. MONSIEUR BEAULIEU – Unplaced on the last run over 1200m at Chantilly on June 4th. Won
on debut over today’s trip, but that was in May 2021
7. THE LAUREATE – The last run was over 1900m at Deauville in November 2022 when unplaced.
Big drop in trip and fitness concern
8. EL MANSOUR – Unplaced on the last two runs both over 1000m, has yet to win in 68 starts.
Avoidable

Summary : TRUST AHEAD (1) has been in good form winning his last two starts, both over 1400m
where he has raced prominently. He made the running when scoring at Saint-Cloud on his latest
success on June 19th, he should have the speed for this drop back in trip. MR GOODNIGHT (3)
could be the main threat, he also has a question mark regarding the 1000m, his best run of late
was over 1350m at Angers two starts ago in early May. INTREPID ITALIAN (5) should have no
concerns with this trip as he won a claimer at this track over this trip on May 20th, he can not be
discounted. TILL WE DIE (4) makes up the shortlist.

SELECTIONS
TRUST AHEAD (1) – MR GOODNIGHT (3) – INTREPID ITALIAN (5) – TILL WE DIE (4)

R2 – PRIX DES IRIS – 1350m (a7f) – TURF – Condition Race – Maiden – Flat – EUR € 23.000

1. MAN WITH THE PLAN – Promising 2nd at Craon on debut over 1300m on June 16th. Can go
one better
2. SPIRITUALE – Nice 3rd over 1300m at Parislongchamp when last seen on May 25th. Live
chance
3. RITA AURORA – Non partant
4. ANIELSKA – Newcomer by Ivawood, the dam was a winner. Stable runners tend to need an
outing, market best guide
5. FRIST GLORY – Gelding by Zelzal, the dam was placed. Market guide best for expected
performance
6. KIND OF STAR – Son of Cloth Of Stars, the dam was a winner. Might need this outing and
further in time
7. WOOTTON VERNI – Newcomer by Wootton Bassett, the dam was a winner. The market best
guide for expected performance, but can feature
8. TIFFANYLI – Unraced filly by Lethal Force, the dam was a maiden. Might improve for this debut
run, Monitor the betting

Summary : MAN WITH THE PLAN (1) performed well on his only run so far when second 10 days
ago. He can improve plenty from that and looks the one to beat. SPIRITUALE (2) could make the
likely favourite work hard for victory, she was a good third at Parislongchamp late last month and
has more to come. RITA AURORA (3) ran a nice race at this venue when fourth over this trip on
June 3rd and can not be overlooked. WOOTTON VERNI (7) has a nice profile and could have a
say on his debut.

SELECTIONS
MAN WITH THE PLAN (1) – SPIRITUALE (2) – WOOTTON VERNI (7) – TIFFANYLI (8)

R3 – PRIX ALBERT SWANN – 1600m (a1m) – TURF – Condition Race – Class 2 – Flat – EUR € 22.000

1. AMEDRAS – Unplaced on the last run, but a good 2nd before that over 1600m on May 7th in a
Class 2 race. Among the top chances
2. EXPLORE THE SHORE – Unplaced on the last run at this venue over 2400m in late May. Looks
safely held
3. INTEGRANT – Nice 2nd over 2000m at Strasbourg on the latest run on May 31st. Sets the
standard
4. WONNEMOND – Ran 3rd over 1700m at Milan (Italy) when last racing in November 2022. Others
preferred
5. RUNNYMEDE – Will strip fitter for this after a run over 1600m in a Group 3 at Baden-Baden
(Germany) on May 18th. Player
6. LOLIWOOD – Good 2nd at Compiegne over 1600m on June 13th. Can not be overlooked
7. PERLE ROUGE – 2nd at this venue over 1600m in a Class 3 on May 20th. Needs more in a
better race

Summary : Top-rated INTEGRANT (3) should be hard to beat, he was a good second in a Class
2 race when last seen at Strasbourg at the end of May. RUNNYMEDE (5) will be a fitter horse for
a run last month in a Group 3 race and could be the main rival. LOLIWOOD (6) arrives after a good
second-placed effort at Compiegne 13 days ago, he should be involved at the business end.
AMEDRAS (1) has work to do to win but can have a say in proceedings.

SELECTIONS
INTEGRANT (3) – RUNNYMEDE (5) – LOLIWOOD (6) – AMEDRAS (1)

R4 – PRIX DU CERCLE DE L’UNION – 2000m (a1 1/4m) – TURF – Divised Handicap – Class 3 – Flat – EUR € 20.000

1. SEKKU – Ran well when 2nd over 2000m at this track on June 3rd when last raced. Live player
2. LAURA TREZY – Has several unplaced runs of late, the latest over 2400m two weeks ago. Best
watched for now
3. SILVER SCHNOK – Has dropped in the ratings by 3kg since winning over 2000m last July. Can
make the frame
4. HOOLONG – Has three unplaced runs of late since winning over 1900m at Deauville in January.
Has work to do
5. AKHATIYI – Has dropped to a fair mark and ran well when 4th on the latest outing over 2000m
in early June. Each-way angle
6. DARLYVI – Decent 2nd at this track over 2400m in late May on the last run. Top three chance
7. JASEUR DE GUYE – Unplaced on the last run over 2000m at this track on June 3rd. Has won
over hurdles last year. Vulnerable
8. KARRY BRADSHAW – Nice 2nd two runs back at this track when beaten in a photo finish over
2000m on May 18th. Ought to be thereabouts
9. CHONATA – Three out-of-the-frame runs of late, the latest over 1900m at Cluny on June 11th.
Needs to bounce back to form
10. AS DE JUILLEY – A winner two runs ago at Wissembourg on May 14th over 2400m. Ought to
make the frame
11. AGDUNE – Ran 4th two runs back over 2150m in February. Has been inconsistent recently and
others make more sense
12. LOONA SPIGAO – Out of the frame the latest two runs, but won before that over 2150m in late
April. Outside place chance
13. DARENIX – Fair 4th two runs ago over 2000m at this racecourse in early June. Ought to have
a say
14. RUE DAUPHINE – Non Partant
15. SLON HE – Numerous unplaced runs over different trips recently. Looks best avoided for the
time being

Summary : An open handicap where plenty of the lineup has a chance of winning. It may pay to
side with SEKKU (1) which carries top-weight. He has good place form on this track and has a
good chance of getting a deserved victory. DARLYVI (6) has run well at this racecourse recently
and could be the biggest danger to the selection, he was a recent second over 2400m in late May.
AKHATIYI (5) has dropped to a fair rating and is one for the each-way backers to look at, he could
be the best value in the betting exchanges. KARRY BRADSHAW (8) can not be ruled out of being
involved.

SELECTIONS
SEKKU (1) – DARLYVI (6) – AKHATIYI (5) – KARRY BRADSHAW (8)

R5 – METROPOLE IMMOBILIER – PRIX MUNET – 2200m (a1 3/8m) – TURF – Condition Race – Maiden – Flat – EUR € 21.000

1. SIMIYANN – 5th when last seen at this track over 2400m on June 10th. Can make the frame
2. WHYDAH GALLY – Nice 2nd over 2400m at this track on June 10th when last racing. Can make
presence felt
3. ALMAGRO – 5th over 2200m at Fontainebleau on March 3rd. Ought to be involved in the finish
4. BLACK TOBAGO – Out of the frame in two runs so far, the latest over 2200m at this track on
June 3rd. Others make more sense
5. ASHALYKA – Nice debut 3rd over 2000m at Compiegne on June 2nd on the only run. Can make
progress and is the one to beat
6. TOP OF MIND – An improved effort when 3rd at Moulins over 2200m on the last run. Can not be
overlooked
7. PARK AVENUE – Unplaced on the last run over 1600m at Vichy in mid-May. Others look better
equipped
8. SOIZIYA – Unplaced in two runs so far, the last outing was over 2000m at this track on June
10th. Can be overlooked
9. WHIP DRALLIV – Newcomer by Whipper, the dam was a winner. Stable runners usually need a
run. Monitor the betting for clues
10. SUBLIWAY – Already gelded son of Galiway, the dam was unraced. Can feature on debut,
market best guide for clues
11. GHOSTWAN AL ASHAI – Newcomer by Toccata, the dam was unraced. Any market support
should be noted

Summary : ASHALYKA (5) showed enough on her debut run when third at Compiegne earlier this
month to suggest she has a nice future ahead of her. She will make plenty of progress from the
debut and looks the logical choice. WHYDAH GALLY (2) is a definite danger, he is getting better
with racing and ran well at this track twice, his last run was over 2400m and this slight drop back in
trip today may be ideal. ALMAGRO (3) ran fifth on the last, not beaten far by the second that day,
he can make the frame. TOP OF MIND (6) is another to consider and can enter calculations.

SELECTIONS
ASHALYKA (5) – WHYDAH GALLY (2) – ALMAGRO (3) – TOP OF MIND (6)

R6 – PRIX VALANJOU – 1600m (a1m) – TURF – Handicap – Flat – EUR € 20.000

1. AGRI – Won over 1600m on the last run at this track on May 20th. Can be hard to beat
2. VEGA STAR – Nice 2nd behind AGRI (1) when they met over 1600m last month. Beaten only
0.5L that day. Player
3. VOTE FOR PEDRO – Non Partant
4. THREE DREAMS – Nice 2nd at Marseille Borely over 1700m on June 9th on the last run. Can
make the frame
5. BURWASH – Won two runs back over 1600m at Fontainebleau in early May. Lightly raced and
can not be discounted
6. BOLT OF THUNDER – Ran 2nd over 1800m in a claimer last time on May 31st. Others look
better equipped
7. MY EMOTION – Out of the frame on the last two runs, but won over 1600m before that in April.
Ought to be in the mix
8. VEDAMIYA – Fair 3rd two runs back over 1800m at Dieppe on May 6th. Ought to be on the
premises
9. HAYAMI – Has not raced since October 2022 when unplaced over 1100m. Might need this return
outing
10. HIGHLAND ARCHER – Has had three runs, and a handicap debut today. 2nd over 1600m on
debut in February. Place chance
11. ALMA BELLA – Unplaced last time in handicap debut over 1500m in late May, won before that
over 1700m. Might find a few too good
12. ARCUBIATU – 3rd two runs back over 2000m at Marseille Borely on May 12th. Needs more to
feature

Summary : AGRI (1) has top weight but that might not be enough to stop him from winning again
at this track after a recent success on May 20th. VEGA STAR (2) was only 0.5L behind AGRI (1)
when second at this track on May 20th, he can give his old rival the most to think about. VEDAMIYA
(8) could be one to look at for the each-way backers, she has some talent and ought to be in the
shake-up. THREE DREAMS (4) is another that can not be left out.

SELECTIONS
AGRI (1) – VEGA STAR (2) – VEDAMIYA (8) – THREE DREAMS (4)
