R1 – PRIX DES MALAVAUX – 2400m (a1 1/2m) – TURF – Condition Race – Flat – EUR € 18.000
1. KATCHINA – Not disgraced when fifth over this course and distance on debut. Did a lot better
when winning last time out and deserves some respect
2. KANDALIUS – Showed promise when runner-up over this distance last month. Canb go one
better in a competitive race
3. KADO DE L’EST – Found betting support when winning on debut so could have more to offer.
Would not be a surprise winner
4. KESACO VERGOIGNAN – Has improved with each runa nd was not disgraced when runner-up
last time out. This is stronger but can earn some money
5. KALINA D’ENGILBERT – Won well on debut. This could be a tougher ask but deserves respect
for that win and can follow up
6. KIFILE DU SEUIL – A three-year-old filly by Kamsin out of Tulipe du Seuil who is making her
debut. Watch the betting
7. KOKOUETTE – A three-year-old filly by Coastal Path out of Quoette de Touzaine who is making
her debut. Watch the betting
Summary : KANDALIUS (2) only found one better on debut and should be smarter this time and
is the choice in a small but competitive field. KADO DE L’EST (3) found support when winning on
debut and should have more to offer. KATCHINA (1) is improving and has course and distance
experience. KOKOUETTE (7) makes her debut but is also a possible winner in this line-up.

R2 – PRIX DE RAVEL – 2000m (a1 1/4m) – TURF – Claiming – Flat – EUR € 12.000
1. LINFASOMMER – Unbeaten in claimers. Won a claimer on debut and picked up a claimer last
time out. Deserves the utmost respect
2. AL QADAM – Well beaten on debut and did not do any better in a claimer second time out.
Others are much preferred
3. SUBLIWAY – Nit disgraced when sixth on debut. Drops slightly in distance and has a winning
chance in a claimer for the first time
4. SURPRIZE ME – Only fifth in a claimer last time out and is probably better on the PSF. Others
are preferred
5. HADLEIGH – Always gives of his best in claimers and did win in January. May need this run
returning from a break
6. SHAKSTAR FAL – Has been a disappointment in two starts this year. Did better in 2022 winning
two claimers and has a winning chance
7. ELAUNEIL – Fit and has run well in both claimers so far. Distance suited and should do a lot
better this time
8. MOLLY WEASLEY – Ignore last run when seventh in a handicap. Has a good record in claimers
but is returning from a 4 month break. Has a winning chance if fit
Summary : A very competitive claimer. ELAUNEIL (7) is fit and still has scope for improvement
and gets a narrow pick. SHAKSTAR FAL (6) has struggled twice this year but has a winning chance
if bouncing back to the form of last year. LINFASOMMER (1) cannot be faulted in her claimer form
as she has won both contested. SUBLIWAY (3) should improve dropped to a claimer for the first
time.

1. MAWHOB – Showed some promise when runner-up on debut but did let his side down last time
out when fifth. Place chance
2. PUMP PUMP CITY – Only modest in his two starts so far finishing sixth both starts. Capable of
improvement but others are preferred
3. SHORT FINAL – Well beaten on debut last year but has made significant improvement in two
starts this year. Runner-up last time out and can go one better
4. EL MEASTRO – Fit and has been very consistent of late. Distance suited and should contest the
finish once again
5. CELTIC STONE HENGE – Did not show much when tenth on her debut over this distance. Can
improve but others are preferred
6. EMERALD LAKE – Ran well in a couple of claimers in 2022 but has lost her way this year and
needs major improvement to win
7. SPIRIT MOON – Well beaten on debut. Likely to improve after that experience but others are
preferred in this line-up
8. WAZIERS – Up to 13 starts without winning yet. Does pop up in a place every now and then and
could play a minor role
9. MGHEERA – Ran well when runner-up on her penultimate start but fluffed the lines last time out.
Tries the turf and can improve
10. GLOWING SKY – Not disgraced when fifth on debut last year. Did better in two starts this year
and has improvement to come. Big chance
11. JOLI CORBEAU – Holding her form well enough and was fourth over this course and distance
in her penultimate start. Not out of it
12. ROYAL WAY – A three-year-old colt by Galiway out of Belle Et Royale who is making his debut.
Watch the betting
Summary : GLOWING SKY (10) is going the right way and improving with each run. She was not
disgraced when third on French debut and should do better this time. SHORT FINAL (3) is
improving and only found one better last time out. EL MEASTRO (4) has been consistent of late
and should fight out the finish yet again. JOLI CORBEAU (11) has course and distance experience
and is not out of it.

R4 – PRIX DE BORT -L’ETANG – 2400m (a1 1/2m) – TURF – Divised Handicap – Class 4 – Flat – EUR € 16.000
1. ZINZICHERA – At the top of her game recently and won a nice race last time out. Carries a 2kg
penalty for last win but can follow up
2. RUUDJE – His last win was a handicap off a much higher mark but has been very moderate of
late and others are preferred
3. DIAMOND BIRTHDAY – Fourth in a claimer in only start of this but hast yet to win after eleven
starts and needs to do more to win this race
4. AMIATA – Broke a long losing streak when winning her latest start and carries a 2.5kg penalty
but is not out of it
5. SUMMIT – Has yet to win a race and has struggled in handicaps of late. Did better last year and
is capable of an upset
6. LAGOONE CHOPE – Well tried this year and has struggled. She has been struggling for some
time now and is unlikely to win
7. PAROVNA – On a long losing streak since only win which was a claimer. Capable of doing better
but has lost her way of late and others are preferred
8. DARENIX – Has yet to win a race after 35 starts but was not disgraced when fourth last time out
and is capable of a minor role
9. ALMAZORA – Very consistent of late and has been runner-up twice off this mark. Better over
further but is capable of winning
10. SUN DE L’ORME – Not disgraced when fourth in penultimate start and is distance suited but is
on a long losing streak. Might place
11. LADIE SALSA – On a long losing streak and has been disappointing of late but could contest
the finish in this line-up
12. NORWEGIAN LORD – Well beaten in three starts since returning from a lengthy break and
needs major improvement to win
Summary : DARENIX (8) is knocking the door hard with numerous good runs off this mark and
could win anytime soon. ZINZICHERA (1) carries a penalty for the last win but is capable of
following up. LADIE SALSA (11) has been disappointing of late but could bounce back to score.
AMIATA (4) broke a long losing streak when winning latest and deserves respect under a penalty
for that win.

R5 – PRIX DE LA CHALOTAIS – 1100m (a5 1/2f) – TURF – Condition Race – Maiden – Flat – EUR € 16.000
1. STORMYGO – Runner-up on debut but has failed to confirm that promise, finishing unplaced in
subsequent outings. Needs to reaffirm
2. TANIS – Has maintained a good level of form and consistency to this point. Capable of getting
into the picture
3. LILY OFTHE KINGDON – Has shown little to date, finishing unplaced in both outings. Must raise
her game to get a look in here
4. PICANES – Improved to finish 4th and ahead of three re-opposing rivals at Deauville last time.
Will have more to offer
5. IHOA – Didn’t go unnoticed at Chantilly last time (5th) but ought to fare better in this
grade/company. Has claims
6. JEEZ LOUISE – Has the benefit of experience, which should stand her in good stead, but needs
to improve to have a say
7. GODAKA – Finished a well-beaten 8th on debut and, while likely to improve for that experience,
is best watched for now
8. BLUE RIBBON – Finished an improved last time and has maintained a good level of form and
consistency. Will be a factor
9. YOLLILAL – Was behind PICANES (4) when only 5th last time after finishing 2nd in both previous
outings. Keep safe
Summary : PICANES (4) finished ahead of several re-opposing rivals when improving to finish 4th
last time and is capable of confirming that superiority by building on that progress to open her
account. IHOA (5) has been far from disgraced in good company, at Chantilly last time, and could
pose a bigger threat. YOLLILAL (9) and BLUE RIBBON (8), who was supplemented for this race,
ought to make their presence felt too.

PICANES (4) – IHOA (5) – YOLLILAL (9) – BLUE RIBBON (8)
R6 – PRIX DE BILLOM – 2400m (a1 1/2m) – TURF – Divised Handicap – Class 3 – Flat – EUR € 20.000
1. MY LENNY – Won two nice races earlier this year but has struggled in two races since then and
is probably best watched this time
2. LIB DUBAWI – Has lost his way in four starts and seems anchored by penalty for last win. Others
are preferred
3. ARTURO – Fair third in his penultimate start but was only ninth last time out needs to find a few
lengths to win
4. HARIQ – Disappointing last two starts and seems anchored by penalty for latest win. In very
good form earlier this year and is not out of it
5. PANNETONE – Not disgraced when runner-up in a claimer last time out. Both wins this year
were on the PSF but she has won on turf and should fight out the finish
6. ALIEN – Not disgraced when fifth last time out and has won on the flat but is better jumping and
others are preferred
7. SCREEN SHOT – Not disgraced when third last time out. Unreliable but has won twice this year
and has a winning chance in this line-up
8. POET’S BLACK – Disappointing last run which was at this course. Capable of much better and
he is capable of bouncing back to score.
9. SOUTHWEST HARBOR – All three of her wins were last year. Disappointing form of late but is
capable of better. Might place
10. SERIGNAN – Has not shown much in three races so far. Capable of improving first time in a
handicap and is not out of it
11. EUSTACHE – On a very long losing streak and has been modest in five starts this yeat. Needs
to find a few lengths to win
Summary : POET’S BLACK (8) is better than the last run would suggest and could bounce back
to score in a tough handicap. PANNETONE (5) has been in good form this year and was not
disgraced when runner-up in a claimer last time out. SCREEN SHOT (7) has been a bit unreliable
but has won a couple of times this year and deserves respect in this line-up. SERIGNAN (10) has
only had the three starts and can improve.

R7 – PRIX ROBERT SURCOUF – 2500m (a1 9/16m) – TURF – Condition Race – Maiden – Flat – EUR € 17.000
1. CELTIC JABAAR – Was 7th on debut but failed to improve with the benefit of that experience
when making no impression last time. Outsider
2. ZHUYRIK – Has struggled to find form or spark any improvement to this point so is hard to make
a case for. Outsider
3. BEL ET BIEN – Finished an encouraging 2nd on debut despite being inconvenienced late on.
Capable of going one better
4. GOT LAND – Confirmed the improvement of his previous outing by finishing 3rd last time. Should
have a role to play
5. JADE VINE – Made a very timid introduction but, like many of André Fabre’s charges, should
have more to offer now in her second outing. Beware
6. ARMENTIERES – Ran well to finish 2nd in a Parisian handicap last time and on that form should
play a leading role here. Chief threat
7. CRASY DAY – Made no impression on debut and, while likely to have come on for that run, is
best watched for now
8. SHALAKA – Open to improvement with the benefit of an introductory outing but did little to
warrant consideration. Others preferred
9. SECRET CONTACT – Consistent for the most part and boasts the form and experience to stake
a claim in a race of this nature. Respect
Summary : After an excellent debut 2nd at Sennones, BEL ET BIEN (3) needn’t improve a great
deal to go one better and is likely to prove a popular choice. ARMENTIERES (6) finished runnerup in a handicap last time so ought to give cheek to the selection, along with JADE VINE (5), who
ought to be better than her modest introduction suggests. Improving GOT LAND (4) could also
have a say.

R8 – PRIX ANNE DE BRETAGNE – 1800m (a1 1/8m) – TURF – Claiming – Flat – EUR € 12.000
1. DOM DUARTE – Convincing winner of his most recent outing at Nantes and is well placed here
to follow up. One to beat
2. EMOZIONE – Unreliable sort but remains quite capable of staking a claim in a race of this nature.
Not one to take lightly
3. VILLEMACHO – Unreliable but ought to be more comfortable back on a right-handed track so
could improve. Dark horse
4. CATCH THE BLUES – Has finished unplaced and well beaten in both outings, so cannot be
recommended even at this level
5. APASH – Has maintained a fair degree of form and consistency, but has more of a place chance
than a winning one
6. RAYJO – Sparked some improvement last time to finish 3rd but needs to confirm/build on that
improvement here. Outsider
7. SNUGGLES – Lost her way toward the end of last season and made no impression in her only
start this year either. Must reaffirm with headgear now fitted
8. KASSAR SAID – Inconsistent but capable filly who seldom finishes far off the mark. Hard to trust
but is as hard to rule out
9. PITRIZZA – Made no impression on debut and, while open to improvement, is best watched for
now. Others preferred
10. KENDOHA – Has appeared very limited, showing little both on the flat and over hurdles. Cannot
be made a case for
Summary : DOM DUARTE (1) was a convincing last-start winner at Nantes recently and is capable
of repeating that feat here in what is a very similar contest. KASSAR SAID (8), dropped significantly
in class, and EMOZIONE (2), even after a disappointing last start, are likely to give him most to
fear. VILLEMACHO (3) could also have a say back on a right-handed track.
