Race Preview
R1 – PRIX DE LA PASTILLE – 2400m (a1 1/2m) – TURF – Claiming – Class 4 – Flat – EUR € 16.000
1. HAVOC – Finished a reassuring 3rd at Clairefontaine last time and can target victory with a
similar performance
2. AUENWOLF – Consistent veteran who was on a good run of form prior to his last start (7th).
Proven at this level, respect
3. JOHEN – Unreliable sort but remains quite capable of staking a claim in a race of this nature.
Dangerous to dismiss
4. MAGNENTIUS – Beaten for the first time this year in his last start after consecutive victories.
Cannot be written off just yet
5. OLYMPIC DREAM – Made no impression in a Quinte+ last time but has, for the most part,
performed relatively consistently. Dark horse
6. SCENARISTE – Gaining momentum with improvement shown in recent outings, so should have
a role to play. Keep safe
7. QUICK FLASH – Maintaining his form and consistency. Was not far off AUENWOLF (2) at Dieppe
last time (4th). Has claims
8. KING SIHTRIC – Reverts to the flat having looked rather ordinary in hurdles races recently.
Others make more appeal
9. SLON HE – Has been struggling for some time now and is unlikely to trouble the judge here. Can
be ruled out
Summary : HAVOC (1) is the highest-rated entrant and, with the benefit of his rider’s 2,5kg
allowance, has a good opportunity to bounce back to winning ways. Veteran AUENWOLF (2), who
must not be condemned following a disappointing last start, is capable of giving cheek.
SCENARISTE (6) is gaining momentum and has the means to shine at this level, so can join that
fight for victory. Confirmed in this category, QUICK FLASH (7) also has a role to play.
SELECTIONS
HAVOC (1) – AUENWOLF (2) – SCENARISTE (6) – QUICK FLASH (7)
R2 – PRIX DU DONJON – 1600m (a1m) – TURF – Divised Handicap – Class 4 – Flat – EUR € 12.000
1. WAYNE – Out of sorts but has dropped in the weights to his last winning mark. Benefit from the
1,5kg allowance of Marie Velon
2. TALISSON – Has looked distinctly ordinary for some time now, so his chances are limited even
at this level. Ignore
3. CHEEKY TRAOU LAND – Inconsistent but is undeniably capable. Has been off the boil this year,
so needs to reaffirm to have a say
4. ANGEL DUST – Capable but unreliable mare, unplaced in her last two starts but on her earlier
form could be competitive
5. THIRD APPLE – Unreliable mare who, judged on her best references, is not incapable of getting
a look in here. Outsider
6. BLACK PANTHER – Inconsistent mare who continues to blow hot and cold. Hard to trust but is
hard to rule out – dark horse
7. MALECON – Did not go unnoticed last time (6th) when only outrun late in the finish. Does well
at this track too, so can play a leading role
8. AMERICAN DAISY – Returned to form last time by finishing 4th at Lyon-Parilly last month. Will
be a factor here if confirming
9. MOANA – Appears to have lost her way recently, making no impression in each of her two starts
this year. Overlook
10. IZAKAYA – An unreliable veteran but he remains quite capable of staking a claim in a race of
this nature. Respect
11. LILLY BIRD – Nothing noteworthy to her name for a considerable period now so can be ruled
out as a result. Overlook
12. MEHANYDREAM – Reassured with victory last time and is likely to be competitive here if
confirming that improvement. Has claims
13. SORRENZA – Continues to struggle to regain any form or consistency and is unlikely to buck
that trend here. Ignored
14. DELIVER STORM – Has looked distinctly ordinary for some time now, so his chances are limited
even at this level. Overlook
15. MY RIVER – Has been struggling for some time now and is unlikely to trouble the judge here.
Can be ruled out
16. ASTROLOGO – Has nothing noteworthy to his name for a considerable period now, so can be
ruled out. Others preferred
Summary : MALECON (7) returned to some sort of form last time (6th) and will not be bothered by
this drop back in distance, so is taken to score at the expense of top-weight WAYNE (1) who is
back on his last winning mark. Having finished 4th at Lyon-Parilly in her last start, AMERICAN
DAISY (8) is capable of staking a claim in the finish. Last-start winner MEHANYDREAM (12) is
likely to have a say if confirming the improvement of that victory.
SELECTIONS
MALECON (7) – WAYNE (1) – AMERICAN DAISY (8) – MEHANYDREAM (12)
R3 – PRIX DE LYON LA SOIE – 1600m (a1m) – TURF – Divised Handicap – Class 4 – Flat – EUR € 14.000
1. FULLDITCH – Has been struggling for some time now and is unlikely to trouble the judge here.
Can be ruled out
2. PRINCE ELZY – Has looked rather ordinary to this point, so his chances are limited even at this
level. Can be ignored
3. VICTORY CAT – At the top of her game at present and is likely to give this another good go.
High on the shortlist
4. NIGHT CANDLE – Has nothing noteworthy to her name for a considerable period now so can
be ruled out. Others preferred
5. VEGA DREAM – Returned to winning ways at Le Lion-d’Angers last time and should remain
competitive under a penalty
6. DANDY COOL – Won at Niort before finishing 3rd at Clairefontaine last time, can take advantage
of his good form. One to beat
7. PRINCE LOS – Undeniably capable but appears to have gone off the boil recently, so must
reaffirm. Dangerous to dismiss
8. NAVALIS – Finished a reassuring 4th last time and could get a look in here if confirming that
improvement. Outsider
9. POLDINA – Unreliable but seldom finishes far off the mark on a going day. Hard to trust but is
as hard to rule out
10. LILY APPLE – Unreliable mare but she remains quite capable of staking a claim in a race of
this nature. Dark horse
11. LUCKY YOU – Has nothing noteworthy to her name for a considerable period now so can be
ruled out. Others preferred
12. COLE CHOP – Pops up on occasion but has struggled for consistency for some time now.
Unlikely to trouble the judge
13. HURRICANE LIGHT – Capable veteran but is no longer the force of old and appears to have
lost his way. Others are preferred
14. CHARM WRENS – Has shown signs of improvement recently and, in current shap, ought to
remain competitive. Keep safe
15. MURRAYFIELD – Unreliable mare but does retain some ability. Runner-up in two of her last
three starts, not taken lightly
16. MOASA – Has rediscovered her form and consistency lately, finishing 2nd at Compiegne last
time. Will be a factor
Summary : DANDY COOL (6) is in great shape and sets the standard here, though has to fear
VICTORY CAT (3) who has fully recovered in recent months. MOASA (16) has improved for the
fitting of headgear and should also be competitive too. Up 2kg for winning at Le Lion-d’Angers last
time, VEGA DREAM (5) is likely to make his presence felt once more.

DANDY COOL (6) – VICTORY CAT (3) – MOASA (16) – VEGA DREAM (5)
R4 – PRIX DE L’ALLIER – 2000m (a1 1/4m) – TURF – Condition Race Qualifier – Class 4 – Flat – EUR € 14.000
1. NOTRE HISTOIRE – Has struck form with two recent conditions wins. Has struggled in handicaps
but is not out of it
2. BLACK MORNING – In good form of late and was not disgraced when third in a handicap over
this course and distance last time out. Has a winning chance
3. CHARLOTTE TAGADA – Unreliable but found her form last time out with a nice handicap win.
Carries a 2.5kg penalty but can follow up
4. BOY DAVIER – A bit disappointing in last two starts. Capable of doing better and could contest
the finish
5. HOOLONG – Showed improvement when third in a handicap over this distance last time out.
Can contest the finish
6. IPHITOS – Disappointing four runs this year. Capable of doing better and has won off a higher
rating but that was on the PSF. Might place
7. FAWKES – Nearly a year since only win. Has really been struggling of late and needs major
improvement to win
8. SPATIAL MERIT – Last win was in 2021. Disappointing last run but has done better before that
and could play a minor role
9. GRACE OF CLIFFS – Only the one win to show in 52 starts but is always capable of earning
some money off her rating. Place chance
10. CATALINA – Put in her best run of the year when third in a handicap last time out. Competitive
off this mark and could do even better this time
11. SILVER SCHNOK – Disappointing form this year but last win was over this course and distance
off a higher mark. Could be the surprise package of the race
12. DARLING CHALLENGE – Unreliable this year. She probably prefers it furth than this distance
and others are preferred
Summary : A very weak race and anything is possible. CATALINA (10) showed her best side when
third last time out so is clearly competitive off this rating and can do even better this time.
CHARLOTTE TAGADA (3) won well and can follow up under a penalty. BOY DAVIER (4) is capable
of an upset if showing his best side. BLACK MORNING (2) has been holding form and has a
winning chance.

R5 – PRIX DE LYON-PARILLY – 1600m (a1m) – TURF – Divised Handicap – Class 4 – Flat – EUR € 16.000
1. LE KAKOU – Not disgraced when fifth last time out and did win a handicap earlier this year. Has
place chance
2. ESTACITY – Disappointing since winning a handicap in March and is best watched until
improvement is shown
3. SAINT FIACRE – A bit of a disappointment when only eighth last time out. Capable of doing
better and has a winning chance
4. BADASS – Non Partant
5. DETESNOUVELLES – On a very long losing streak and has been well beaten in last three starts.
Needs major improvement to win
6. PINK GOLD – Ran well when runner-up under a penalty last time out and is clearly capable of
winning again
7. BEACON TOWERS – Struggled in eight under a penalty last time out. Capable of doing better
and has a place chance
8. NOBLE AMBER – Returned to form with a win last time out but has only been modest in
handicaps this year. Might follow up though
9. SAMAGACE DU VIVIEN – Unreliable and last win was last year on the PSF. Pops up in a place
every now and then. Might place
10. BALAGAN – Has been doing well on the PSF of late but she does seem to prefer that surface.
Might play a minor role
11. WHEEL OF CHANCE – On a very long losing streak but has now run a couple of decent runs
off this handicap mark and could be ready to score
12. PRESS OFFICER – Picked up two handicap wins earlier this year but he has really struggled
in his last five starts and others are preferred
13. CERVARO – Unreliable and disappointing of late. Better on the PSF and others are preferred
in this line-up
14. TURTLE CHOPE – On a long losing streak but is in good form of late and should contest the
finish once again
15. AFFAIRE CONCLUE – On a very long losing streak. Disappointing last three runs but did bette
before that and could finish in the money
16. LUX – Showed improvement when sixth in a handicap last time out but needs to do more than
that to win this race
17. TOUTELUSIVE – Slow improvement in last two races but needs to do a lot better to win this
race and others are preferred
Summary : A weak race and it is not with much confidence that we offer up WHEEL OF CHANCE
(11) who has run well a couple of times now off his handicap mark but needs to break a long losing
streak. PINK GOLD (6) is improving and was not disgraced when runner-up last time out and can
go one better. TURTLE CHOPE (14) continues to hold form and one day can find herself in front
at the post. SAINT FIACRE (3) is capable of doing better and is not out of it.

R6 – PRIX BURGOS – 1600m (a1m) – TURF – Divised Handicap – Class 3 – Flat – EUR € 20.000
1. MAMA IMELDA – Up 2kg after consecutive recent wins but is unbeaten over track and trip.
Capable of completing hat-trick
2. CHOP VAL – Has won two of his last four starts, including his most recent outing on PSF, though
is adept on the turf. Contender
3. GOLDINO BELLO – Undeniably capable but appears to have gone off the boil this year. Rider’s
2,5kg allowance should help
4. BLUE STARS – Returned to form last time (4th) and could have a say here if confirming that
improvement. Has claims
5. MY BLACK LADY – At the top of her game at present after back-to-back wins and is likely to
remain competitive. Keep safe
6. J’ACCLAME – Capable filly but has been out of sorts, finishing unplaced in her last three starts.
Needs to reaffirm
7. RIO D’OCTOBRE – Has improved with each outing this year after a lengthy layoff. Finished 2nd
last time and will be a factor again
8. MAX VERST – Consistent for the most part and is capable of better than his recent 6th with
Mickaël Barzalona. Respect
9. KARINAS DREAM – Ran well again from a bad starting stall last time and from a favourable No
2 gate here should have a say
10. LARNO – Was on a good run of form and consistency prior to a disappointing last start. Can do
better, dark horse
11. ITALO – Has shown signs of improvement recently and has not gone unnoticed in his last two
starts. Must confirm
12. ASPEN – Consistent sort with solid recent form references and has proven competitive with
blinkers fitted. On the shortlist
13. VILLA ROYALE – Has finished 4th in consecutive outings recently and could get into the picture
with any improvement
14. DON FALCO – Has looked distinctly ordinary for some time now, so his chances are limited
even at this level. Ignore
15. SLEEPY SUZY – Has been struggling to regain any form or consistency for some time now so
unlikely to trouble the judge
16. SAGE DREAM – Took advantage of a reduced rating to win last time but is unlikely to repeat
that feat under a 2kg penalty
17. THE MANAGER – Capable but inconsistent sort. Made no impression last time so needs to
reaffirm – best watched for now
Summary : Unbeaten in two starts over the Vichy mile, MAMA IMELDA (1) arrives at the top of his
game after consecutive victories and is good value to complete the hat-trick. Last-start winner
CHOP VAL (2) is consistent and should go well again so ought to pose a threat. KARINAS DREAM
(9) is also capable of staking a claim after two encouraging comeback outings. ASPEN (12) usually
does well with this headgear on so can get into the picture too.
