R1 – PRIX FERME ST-SIMEON – PX DU PAYS D’AUGE – 9E ETAPE DU DEFI DU GALOP – 1800m (a1 1/8m) – TURF – Condition Race – Listed – Flat – EUR € 52.000
1. DOURIANN – Makes Listed debut and could find it tough. Won penultimate at Parislongchamp
which holds him in good stead but others selected
2. SHAHZAD – Is a three time winner, excellent 2nd over 2000m at Compiegne in a Listed race
and should go close to winning
3. BREIZH EAGLE – Has contested in Listed and Group races and despite being an outsider
could make his presence felt. Outside place chance
4. LORD CHARMING – Brings a rating of 47,5 into the race. Won his last start which was over
1800m at Hamburg. The horse to beat
5. MYTHICO – Finished 4th in a Group 3 event over 2050m at Magdeburg last time. Fair chance
6. MIRSKY – Has won an impressive four races from eight starts and can reel off the hat trick.
Scored at Deauville most recently. Big danger
7. VAGALAME – Attractive 2nd at Parislongchamp last time and has fared well in a feature but is
taking time to win again. Strong place chance
8. YOOZUNA – Recently been competing in feature races at Chantilly and Parislongchamp which
makes him a serious threat in this
9. KENNELLA – Is off form and cannot be selected based on that evidence. Hard to fancy
Summary : LORD CHARMING (4) brings a high rating into the race and is fresh off an
impressive victory at Hamburg. He is the one they all have to fear the most. MIRSKY (6) has a
fifty percent win strike rate which is impressive. He could easily reel off the hat trick and has
competed in some hot races. SHAHZAD (2) has solid overall form and should give a good
account of himself in this Listed event and VAGALAME (7) is taking time to score again but has a
quartet chance.

R2 – PRIX MORNY MAGAZINE (PRIX DE BROCOTTES) – 2200m (a1 3/8m) – TURF – Condition Race – Class 3 – Flat – EUR € 18.000
1. L’ASTRONOME – High rating, won at Toulouse in June over 3000m, Group 2 winner from last
year. Win chance
2. MIRABAD – Won on debut, has ability, attractive form since winning first time out but is rested
and may need it
3. ALESSANDRO – Has only raced once this year when 4th at Cagnes-Sur Mer over 2000m.
Hard to assess
4. PRETTY TIGER – Fair last run when 5th at Parislongchamp over 2100m. He should be
included in all bets. Each way claims
5. SELLER ONE – Cannot be suggested based on bad debut. Will need to improve immensely
6. MR DE POURCEAUGNAC – Has been competitive in features, raced often, 4th at Saint-Cloud
over 2000m in June and ran a cracker in a Listed recently. Big runner
7. LORD ACHILLES – Won a Listed race at Vichy last year over 2400m but has been rested
since and likely to need the run. But can’t be dismissed
8. QUEST THE MOON – Listed winner in June 2022, can race fresh, clearly talented. Do not
ignore
9. ARAMHES – Has not raced for a long time but could run fresh. Chance if not needing this
Summary : L’ASTRONOME (1) has achieved a rating of 47,5, won at Toulouse recently and is a
Group 2 winner from last year. He is the winning suggestion. MR DE POURCEAUGNAC (6) has
held his own in competitve feature races but has had plenty racing. He, however, has strong
claims. PRETTY TIGER (4) should be able to be right there based on overall form and QUEST
FOR THE MOON (8) is returning form a rest but clearly has talent and ability and might run fresh.
Chance.

1. SALAHUDIN – Has shown ability in all his races thus far, won three starts back and finished
3rd at Clairefontein over 2400m in June. The one to beat
2. GOLIATH – Unbeaten two-from-two. One victory at Clairefontein and the other at Saint-Cloud.
Could be anything and can win again
3. GUET APENS – Finished 2nd at Clairefointein over 2400m last month and is a one time
winner. Respect and include
4. CASSIUS – Caught the eye when 5th in a Group 2 at Saint-Cloud over 2000m. Has a 50% win
strike rate. Big danger
5. HAPTICS – Will need to build on recent 8th to threaten here. Prefer others
6. NAPOLITANO – Makes his local debut from Germany but brings solid form with. Expect him to
threaten first up
Summary : SALAHUDIN (1) has had five starts and was a winner three races back. His form is
solid as is his chance of winning. GOLIATH (2) has shown huge potential remaining unbeaten in
two starts. He could remain unbeaten after this and end up being absolutely anything. Follow.
CASSIUS (4) caught the eye in a Group race recently which bodes well for this race and his
future. NAPOLITANO (6) has shown ability in Germany and can make his presence felt in his
French debut. A must for all bets.

R4 – PRIX ZETURF – PRIX LUTH ENCHANTEE – FONDS EUROPEEN DE L’ELEVAGE – 2400m (a1 1/2m) – TURF – Condition Race – Listed – Flat – EUR € 48.000
1. BAIYKARA – A bit of a disappointment since her good run last year over this distance. Has a
winning chance in this line-up
2. THANKS MONICA – Won twice in the UK in 2022. Not disgraced in two starts this year but
needs to do more to win this race. Might place
3. FLYINGBEAUTY – Unreliable and was disappointing when only tenth last time out. In a tough
race and others are preferred
4. DANCING TANGO – Won at the end of 2022 in Ireland. Disappointing when only modest in
three starts since then and others are preferred
5. LA FILLE DU SUD – Has disappointed twice over this distance of late. Capable of doing better
and is clearly not out of it
6. IRISH LULLABY – Won three times in Ireland in 2022 but has struggled in her last two starts
this year and is probably best watched for now
7. DIVINE JEWEL – Disappointed at Saint Cloud in her penultimate start but ran well at York in
her comeback run and should run very well
8. ONAMERIDANCE – She lost her way in two starts after her only win and is likely to need this
run returning from a break
9. CALLIEPIE – Has yet to win a race after seven starts but has some fair and could sneak a
minor place once again
10. ALLADA – Very consistent in 2022 and won three times. Probably needed last run when fifth
and should improve. Cnm upset
11. CHING SHIH – Not disgraced with two good runs over this distance in UK of late and is
capable of fighting out the finish yet again
12. GALIFA – Consistent this year and is distance suited but may need to do a lot more to beat
these rivals. Might place
13. DERIDA – Not disgraced when third last time out in Germany but was only eighth when last
seen in France and needs to do more to win this race
14. MYTHICARA – Disappointing last run when eleventh. Capable of doing better but needs to
find a few lengths to win this race
15. DANNSA FLORA – Very consistent so far this year and was not disgraced when third last
time out. Has a winning chance
Summary : A mine field for punters with very little collateral form to match up. BAIYKARA (1) ran
very well at ParisLongchamp last year but has been a disappointment this year but can bounce
back. DIVINE JEWEL (7) ran well at York earlier this year and has a winning chance. LA FILLE
DU SUD (5) has question marks over this distance but does deserve some respect. CHING SHIH
(11) is one of a string of many others that are not out of it. Good luck in finding the winner.

1. BRAGGIN RIGHTS – Disappointing last run when sixth in a handicap. Capable of better and
can contest the finish

play a minor role

winning chance

more to offer and deserves respect

more improvement and has a winning chance
11. BELLE D’AMOUR – Has not shown much in her three starts so far. First time in a handicap

minor role

expected and can fight out the finish

others are much preferred

Others are preferred

start and has a winning chance in a race that is wide open. JIEPIES MELODY (4) disappointed
last time out when eighth but was in better form before that and can bounce back. BRAGGIN
