R1 – PRIX DE LIGNIERES – 1000m (a5f) – TURF – Handicap – Flat – EUR € 20.000
1. FALEH – Has been in good form, 2nd at Dieppe on last run over 1100m in mid-June. Sets the
standard
2. LE CENTRAL – Two fair efforts of late over 1200m, the latest at Chantilly 5 days ago. Player
3. REMINISCE – Ran 2nd over 1200m on the last run at Fontainebleau in early May. In the mix
4. BIG STAR – Fair 4th over 1400m last time at Saint-Cloud in late June. Can be on the premises
in handicap debut
5. VALDIKHOVA – Has yet to win, unplaced over 1000m on the last run in early June. Has work to
do
6. RISE ABOVE – Two unplaced runs of late, 4th before that over 1100m last September. Hard to
fancy
7. BEAST MODE – 3rd three runs ago over 1000m in early June at Parislongchamp. Others make
more appeal
8. CUREJ – 4th two runs ago over 1300m at Argentan in early June. Others make more sense
Summary : FALEH (1) has been in good heart recently. With a nice second at Dieppe in mid-June
on his most recent outing in his first handicap, he should be too good for his rivals despite carrying
top weight. LE CENTRAL (2) takes a drop in trip, he could be the main danger as he usually travels
strongly in his races over a bit further and is an interesting runner. BIG STAR (4) makes his
handicap debut and if adapting to a big drop in trip he can have a say in proceedings. REMINISCE
(3) has form over a bit further than today’s journey in lower-grade races but should be respected.

R2 – PRIX CLAUDE DELEUZE – 1000m (a5f) – TURF – Divised Handicap – Class 4 – Flat – EUR € 16.000
1. HOLLY STORY – Recent 3rd over 1200m at Aix-Les-Baines 13 days ago. Has form over 1000m
and can not be overlooked
2. VANILLE BLEUE – Has three out-of-the-frame runs of late, the latest over 1200m at Dax 9 days
ago. Vulnerable
3. DROGO – 5th over 1200m on the last run at Deauville 12 days ago. Can be on the premises
4. SVOUL – Two good runs this year, the latest over 1100m at La Teste in late June. Live chance
5. BOWDRAGON – Two unplaced runs this year, the latest over 1200m in mid-June. Looks safely
held
6. GLICOURT – Fair 2nd two runs ago over 1000m at Dieppe in mid-June. Looking for win number
14, each way angle
7. SAKHARAH – Four unplaced runs of late and has eased in the ratings, the latest run was over
1350m in late June. Has won over 1000m at this track last July. Consider
8. GOOD FRIEND – Fair 3rd two runs ago over 1400m at Compiegne. Drop-in trip is possibly not
ideal but can feature
9. KING OF THE LIONS – Two unplaced runs recently won before that over 1300m in January.
Outside place chance
10. EXPLORAR – 4th over 1200m when last seen 13 days ago in a claiming handicap. Has work
to do
11. VALENTO – Three unplaced runs of late, but won over 1300m at Chantilly before that in
February. Not an ideal distance
12. QUEEN OF THE NIGHT – Three unplaced runs, 2nd before that over 1400m in March. Can
make the frame
13. SIR MAURICE – Numerous unplaced runs, the latter over 1000m in early July. Hard to
recommend
14. EL MANSOUR – Has shown very little form of late and is 0-69 runs. Hard to make a case for
Summary : SVOUL (4) has run well in both outings this year, the latest was a solid effort when
beaten 1L when second at La Teste over 1100m in late June, he gets the vote ahead of DROGO
(3) who is capable of making life difficult for his rivals, and could pose the biggest rival. HOLLY
STORY (1) ran well when third on her latest outing over 1200m, she has form over today’s journey
and is one for the place backers to rely on. GLICOURT (6) is looking for his fourteenth win and is
effective over 1000m and should be respected.

R3 – PRIX YVES SAINT-MARTIN – 1000m (a5f) – TURF – Divised Handicap – Class 3 – Flat – EUR € 20.000
1. LESSLEPASSER – Won over 1000m at Dieppe last time in mid-June. Has won here over 1000m
last July. Form pick
2. PRADARO – Won over 1000m on the last run in November at Angouleme. Should be fit for a
bold show
3. JOSEJOSEPHINE – Has dropped to a reasonable rating, and has won over course and distance
in September. Can make the frame
4. PILE OU FACE – Three unplaced runs of late, won before that over 1100m in March. needs to
get back on track
5. KOUTSOUNAKOS – Fair 3rd over 1000m last time and a winner over the same before that in
late May at Parislongchamp. In the mix
6. ISMAEL PAINT – 3rd over 1200m on the last run at Deauville 12 days ago. Each way option
7. AMAZON PRINCE – Shaped well when 3rd last time was over 1000m in late June. Can have a
leading say
8. MONSIEUR BEAULIEU – Five unplaced runs, the latter over 1000m in late June. Has dropped
in the ratings but looks out of form
9. COOLMEEN ROYAL – Won two runs back over 1200m in March at Fontainebleau. Has outside
place chance
10. THE DIG – Out of the frame the last three runs, won at Nimes over 1200m in April before that.
Usually better over a bit further than today’s trip
Summary : With good form at this track over 1000m and a recent win at Dieppe in mid-June
LESSLEPASSER (1) looks the logical selection. He gets the nod from PRADARO (2) who although
making his seasonal debut, he should be fit for a bold show, he is versatile trip-wise.
KOUTSOUNAKOS (5) likes this distance and has been in decent shape of late. He can make his
presence felt one more. AMAZON PRINCE (7) also enters calculations after a close third over
1000m at Lyon Parilly last month.

R4 – PRIX DE NERIS-LES-BAINS – 1850m (a1 1/8m) – TURF – Claiming – Class 4 – Flat – EUR € 17.000
1. PLAIN BEAU – Has been running well, 2nd over 1900m last time at Deauville in a claimer in
early July. Can be in the mix
2. LE SCORP – Out of the frame last time over 2200m in late June. Drops in class but others
preferred.
3. PACO – Won over 1850m two runs ago at Hyeres in April, drops in class, and sets the standard
4. ZAUR – Won both runs since arriving in France, the latter over 1900m in a claimer at Deauville
19 days ago. Can be on the premises
5. ETCHECOANDEREA – Unplaced last time over 1900m in early July. Looks of limited ability on
what she has shown so far
6. MISS BELIEVE – Fair 3rd over 1600m last time in a Class 3 handicap in mid-June at Lyon Parilly.
Among the top chances
7. EXPLORE THE SHORE – Has a record of 0-68 runs, the latest over 2300m 7 days ago. Best
avoided
8. MISS TREVILLE – 3rd two runs back over 2000m in April. Capable of a good run in this type of
race
Summary : Top rated and well-weighted, PACO (3) takes a drop in class and was a winner over
1850m at Hyeres in April. He should be too smart in the grade. PLAIN BEAU (1) looks like the
biggest rival, he has been consistent of late and has not been out of the first four in his last five
runs, he has placed form at this track. MISS BELIEVE (6) is the each-way angle as she previously
won this track and has run well recently. ZAUR (4) has won both runs on French soil since moving
to his current trainer and can not be discounted.

PACO (3) – PLAIN BEAU (1) – MISS BELIEVE (6) – ZAUR (4)
R5 – PRIX JOURNAL LA RENAISSANCE (PRIX TRIPOLETTE) – 1600m (a1m) – TURF – Condition Race – Maiden – Flat – EUR € 16.000
1. PURPLE MOOD – 4th over 1600m at Clairefontaine on July 7th on the only run. Looks unlikely
2. PEPETE – Three recent 2nd placed runs, the latter over 1200m in late June. Sets the standard
3. RUBY IN THE ROCKS – Fair 4th over 1200m in late June at Marseille Borely. Looks a live
contender
4. CHINCHA ALTA – 5th over 1400m at Saint-Cloud in late June on the last run. Capable of having
a say
5. DABIR MOON – Unplaced on only run so far over 1200m in early May. Has vast improvement
needed to figure
6. ASTRA DREAM – Newcomer by Dream Ahead, looks good on paper and will be well prepared
for a bold show on debut
7. MIDDLE KICK – Unraced daughter of Battle Of Marengo, likely to be in need of this outing.
Market best guide for clues
Summary : PEPETE (2) has been second on her last three runs and looks overdue a success.
She should be too smart for her rivals. RUBY IN THE ROCKS (3) warrants plenty of respect and
could be the biggest threat, she was 1.5L back in 4th when she met in the same race as PEPETE
(2) last time and meets on similar terms. ASTRA DREAM (6) has a nice profile and will be welleducated by her trainer. A competitive debut can be anticipated. CHINCHA ALTA (4) showed some
ability in her three runs to date, although unlikely to win she ought to be in the mix.

R6 – PRIX MGPF – TECHNISPECTACLE (PRIX JACQUES DE BREMOND) – 1600m (a1m) – TURF – Condition Race – Listed – Flat – EUR € 52.000
1. RUSSIPANT FAL – Good 3rd last time at Chantilly in mid-June over 1600m in a Group 3 race.
Sets the standard
2. NANO NAGLE – 4th in a Group 3 race two starts ago at Baden-Baden in May over 1600m.
Needs more to feature
3. GOD BLESSING – Fair effort when 4th at Deauville over 1600m last time in a Class 1 race on
July 2nd. Consider
4. DEEP HOPE – Unplaced last two starts 3rd before that in a Class 2 race at Chantilly in March
over 1400m. Others rate higher
5. ANTHORUS – 4th on latest start over 1600m in a Listed race in late May. Must enter calculations
6. RUNNYMEDE – Won last time at Lyon Parilly over 1600m in late June in a Class 2 race. Player
Summary : In a competitive listed event where the reliable RUSSIPANT FAL (1) is marginally top
rated. After a good third in a Group 3 race when last seen, he can just edge this from RUNNYMEDE
(6) who was a recent winner in a Class 2 at Lyon Parilly in late June. ANTHORUS (5) has been
running well in Listed and Group 3 races of late. He was fourth behind RUSSIPANT FAL (1) when
they met at Parislongchamp in late May in a Listed race over 1600m and has ground to find. GOD
BLESSING (3) was back in seventh that day and needs a personal best to win but can finish closer
to the principals today.
