R1 – PRIX DAOUDA KA – 3000m (a1 7/8m) – TURF – Handicap – Class 3 – Flat – EUR € 19.000
1. CAMPELLO – Far from disgraced back in 4th over 3000m last time out. Won’t be easy with top
weight but is capable. Each way claims
2. VANGOSTYLE – Has been very competitive in jump races but will find this a new challenge.
Others inspire more confidence
3. EL INGRATO – Runner up in his last start and now steps up in trip which could suit as he gets
on in age. Could get involved
4. KIKINE JOLIE – Ran a very good 2nd last time out over the 3000m trip and a reproduction of
that effort will see her go close. Big runner
5. JOSHUA’S SPIRIT – Not in the greatest shape of late and will have his work cut out here. Hard
to recommend
6. MONT STEELE – Finished 2nd over 2000m in his last start and enters this race with very
appealing form. Should make a bold bid
7. NOLIVER – Honest efforts of late and another fair run should be on the cards. Place chance
8. LE TAMADA – Ran 5th over 2100m at his most recent outing and will need to show more to get
involved. Others preferred
Summary : KIKINE JOLIE (4) is knocking on the door for that next win and with two runner up
finishes in her last two runs, she should go close to winning. MONT STEELE (6) just found one to
good last time out and the step up in trip could be ideal. EL INGRATO (3) has found the second
box in a couple of his previous outings and will no doubt be looking for a change of luck in this.
CAMPELLO (1) is more than capable of giving a good sight and could get involved.

R2 – PRIX VORDA – 1200m (a6f) – TURF – Condition Race – Maiden – Flat – EUR € 23.000
1. DAMIEN – Fluent winner over 1100m last time out and with more to come, he could be the value
in the race. Each way claims
2. CORDIALE – Finished a distant 10th on debut and would need to show more in order to trouble
these.
3. GOOD FEELIN – 5th on debut over 1400m and with obvious scope for improvement, could get
involved. Each way chance
4. VIVELAVIE – Has produced two very good efforts to date and should be right in the thick of
things. Bold bid expected
5. SPARKLING LIGHT – Very pleasing start to her career with a cracking 2nd on debut. Should run
a huge race
6. AURORE BOREALE – Far more exposed than a number of these and will have to make
significant improvement to challenge. Other preferred
Summary : SPARKLING LIGHT (5) ran with plenty of promise on debut and with natural
progression should go very close. VIVELAVIE (4) has done nothing wrong to date and could get it
right at the third attempt. GOOD FEELIN (3) wasn’t beaten to far on debut and if the drop in trip
suits then he could well run a nice race. DAMIEN (1) is the only winner in this contest and could
use that to his advantage although he has to concede weight all round.

R3 – PRIX BURKEGUY – WATHBA STALLIONS CUP – 1600m (a1m) – TURF – Local Final Accaf – Flat – EUR € 20.000
1. DIAMOND GEM AA – Will need to take a step forward on his first run in France. Has competed
at Group level over in the USA. Others preferred
2. ICHAN DE BOZOULS – Very capable sort that ran 2nd in a Listed event over in Spain last time
out. Each way chance
3. HAMZAH – Hasn’t been disgraced of late especially last time out when running 4th in a Listed
contest over in Spain. Include
4. AL FAISAL – 5th in a Group 3 last time out and with the drop in class likely to suit, he could be
a runner. One for the shortlist
5. MADRASSA – Has featured at Group level throughout his career and now drops in class which
could suit. One to beat
6. FLEETS ACE AA – First run in France and based on the form he brings, will need to make
significant improvement. Hard to recommend
7. CASBAR METEORA – Seems to be a very tricky individual to catch right and just about anything
could be expected here. Place chance
Summary : MADRASSA (5) has been tested at a much stronger level than this and will no doubt
enjoy taking on weaker. AL FAISAL (4) steps into Listed company for the first time and could find
his feet here to make a strong challenge. HAMZAH (3) seldomly runs a bad race and should put in
an honest effort again. CASBAR METEORA (7) rates as a very hard horse to predict but if putting
her best foot forward could be in the shake up.

R4 – GRAND PRIX DE MONT-DE-MARSAN (PRIX MARCY) – 2000m (a1 1/4m) – TURF – Condition Race – Class 1 – Flat – EUR € 38.000
1. DIAMOND VENDOME – Finished 2nd in a Listed race last time out and looks to be the one that
could give the most cheek to our fancy. Should run well
2. PRINCE ANODIN – Not disgraced in recent efforts and could have a say when it comes to the
minor positions. Place chance
3. AGADOR – Very talented sort that continues to impress. Unbeaten in last four starts. One to beat
4. MEDIA STORM – Consistent performer without winning and can definitely earn once again in
this field. Place chance
5. BELIEVEINMIRACLES – Has her first start in France and will need to make improvement to the
form that she brings from Ireland. Hard to fancy
Summary : AGADOR (3) has been very impressive to date and he looks set to continue on his
winning ways here. He looks to have a bright future. DIAMOND VENDOME (1) ran a very nice race
last time out and looks to be best of the rest in this. MEDIA STORM (4) is always about the action
and continues to keep supporters interested without really challenging. PRINCE ANODIN (2) has
the form that would make him capable of earning.

R5 – PRIX DE L’IFAHR – 2000m (a1 1/4m) – TURF – Condition Race – Flat – EUR € 16.000
1. HASHEM – Winner over 2300m two starts back and has the form that he could see getting
involved. Place chance
2. NIMIR – Last two starts have been below par considering what he did on debut was rather
encouraging. Needs to improve
3. CHOUF THE STAR – Won his last start over 2250m and with further improvement on the cards,
there could be more to come. Each way chance
4. JADE DU CROATE – Back to winning way two starts back over 2100m. Ignore her last effort as
it was all wrong. Should go well
5. AINHOA PETRUCIO – Won out in Belgium last time out but will need to improve on current form
in France. Others preferred
6. NAHIM – A maiden that has competed at Group level and has equipped himself very well. Will
love being in calmer waters. Big runner
7. AL ZARAFFA CHAM – Remains a maiden from 10 outings and on recent form will need to do
more to win but can earn. Place chance
8. AL HADAB – Maiden from three starts that did run with some promise two runs back but was
disappointing last time out. More needed
9. KAWTHAR – In and out sort that needs to add some consistency to his game in order to give
supporters confidence. Others preferred
10. JOY DE MONTEGUT – Hasn’t produced much to inspire any confidence that he could be
capable running well. Hard to fancy
11. ZAWANIA STAR – Won on debut and has just gone backwards since. Needs to start showing
more. Hard to recommend
12. CHIHAB AL CHAM – Soundly beaten last time out and comes into this needing to prove herself
which won’t be easy. Would be a surprise winner
Summary : NAHIM (6) has been tested as a maiden in some very strong races but has done well
and with this race being more in his favor, he could get it right. JADE DU CROATE (4) is way better
than her last run and if we judge her based on her penultimate performance, she should go close.
HASHEM (1) is a capable sort that could run into the top four. AL ZARAFFA CHAM (7) a maiden
that could find herself running a decent race and finding a place.

R6 – PRIX DES MELEZES – 2000m (a1 1/4m) – TURF – Claiming – Flat – EUR € 12.000
1. KENMYA – Last seen in France last year when winning over 1600m and if able to replicate that
in this event then it will see her run well. Leading claims
2. BECQUANIENTE – Her last start was all wrong after tasting success two runs back. Seems
capable of bouncing back. Each way chance
3. SPANISH LIGHT – Ran 5th last time out over 1600m and with more to come, he could be one
to follow closely. Should run nicely
4. RECOLEROS – Has had nine bites at the cherry and is yet to crack the maiden so hard to be
confidence on his chances. Can place
5. MAITRE DE MUSIQUE – Last three starts has yielded in very moderate performances and
improvement is required. Others inspire more confidence
6. LOVE TRUE – Ran a decent 2nd last time out and now stepping up in trip, it could see this
individual run well. Each way player
7. RAKSHA – Last start winner over 1700m but will no doubt need to do more to follow up. Place
chance at best
8. LUCIO VERO – Has shown very little to work with in both Spain and France. Unlikely to feature
9. LONG KE WAN – Won her last start but will need to take a step forward in order to follow up on
that. Could earn
10. LOVELY TRAOU LAND – Thirteen starts and still remains a maiden with lots of work to do.
Unlikely to get involved here. More Needed
11. PREMIERE D’ESTEJO – Needs to improve on the form that she represents to date in order to
find a place. Hard to fancy
Summary : KENMYA (1) ended off 2022 with a win and will be looking to recapture that form
returning to France. SPANISH LIGHT (3) offered something to work with last time out and should
make natural progression to challenge. BECQUANIENTE (2) won in her penultimate start and if
finding that piece of form again then could be competitive. MAITRE DE MUSIQUE (5) needs to
improve on recent form but this isn’t the strongest contest.

R7 – PRIX DAHMAN – WATHBA STALLIONS CUP – 2200m (a1 3/8m) – TURF – Condition Race – Flat – EUR € 18.000
1. AL ZEER – Well held on debut when finishing back in 5th position but is open to improvement
now stepping up in trip. Winning chance
2. KASSOU HIPOLYTE – Has been tried over various trips and showed his best when finishing 4th
over 1200m. More needed
3. FIFRE AL MAURY – Finished 9th on sole start to date and would need to put his best foot forward
to get involved. Improvement required
4. JABAL TARIQ – Ran 8th on debut and now steps up in trip which could extract some
improvement. Hard to fancy
5. LE RAIS – Two runs to date and could certainly appreciate being back up in distance. Needs to
show more
6. ZEINARK – Beaten 18l last time out but that run can be forgotten as his debut effort was fair.
Has claims
7. RAJIH – Ran in a Group 2 last time out and with this representing a drop in class, he could be
able to get off the mark. Winning chance
8. DAMERAT AL SHAHANIA – Huge improvement needed on debut run in order to get involved
here. Others preferred
9. MOLFIT – Newcomer that could shape up better with experience under the belt. Others preferred
10. NYR MAGIB – He is a newcomer that wouldn’t need to be too special to win on debut. Follow
the market
11. SPIRIT LUCK – Has his first start over the extended trip so could well enjoy more ground in
time to come. Follow the market for clues
12. IVOIRE ET OR – Far from disgraced in a Group 3 contest last time out and can build on that
performance. Each way claims
13. BELGARO – Dam was unraced. Newcomer that bears close watching. The market is our best
guide
14. ENIGMA CODE – Newcomer that won’t find things too easy at the first time off asking especially
over this distance. Others preferred
15. KENAYA DE FLAUZINS – Newcomer that will have her work cut out on her first attempt. Could
do with racing experience. Hard to recommend
16. ENDLESS – Dam was unraced. Will need to have something about her in order to be competitve
here. Others preferred
17. KAHLIE DE FAUST – Newcomer that could need a run or two before showing her best hand.
Follow the market
Summary : This is not a strong contest which means it won’t take a great deal of winning. AL ZEER
(1) is the top choice in this having had one run to date, that experience can hold him in good stead.
ZEINARK (6) produced a fair run on debut and judging him on that, it won’t be a surprise to see
him getting involved. RAJIH (7) faced a much tougher task last time out and will be a leading
contender in calmer waters. NYR MAGIB (10) is a first timer that bears close watching.

R8 – PRIX SOURDOIS – 1600m (a1m) – TURF – Handicap – Class 4 – Flat – EUR € 14.000
1. BON ESPRIT – Inconsistent performer that runs a blinder every now and then. Won three starts
back but hasn’t gone on from there. More needed
2. LAYALINA – Solid performance over the trip last time out and could follow that up with another
positive run. Winning chance
3. WAIPA – Runner up last time out and looks set to run a huge race from a decent draw. Go close
4. SHANGRI LA – Remains a maiden from 13 starts in France and it would be a surprise to see
her get her head in front. Others preferred
5. VEGA DREAM – In a good space at the moment and he should be able to put his best foot
forward by running another honest race. Should be in the shake up
6. LA CATELLA – Penultimate start over track and trip was good, finishing in 4th just over 1l behind
the winner. Can get involved in proceedings
7. TWIN BOY – Has only found the winners enclosure on one occasion from his 59 career starts
which is a slight concern but he can earn. Place chance
8. PEDRO DES AIGLES – Comes into this event with very poor form and is still a maiden from 18
career outings. Would be a shock winner
9. LA FILLE DE BERLIN – Hasn’t been able to pick up on her form from last year and looks to be
struggling. Hard to fancy
10. KRYPTON – Has dropped quite a bit in the ratings and it seemed to make all the difference as
she ran a much improved 4th last time out. Each way claims
11. KALEOROUNA – Last won way back in 2021and since then hasn’t shown a great deal of form.
Would be a surprise winner
12. PEDROZIO – Has dropped in the ratings but there haven’t been any signs that a big run is near.
Out of sorts off late
13. INDIAN DEAL – 18 runs with no victory. Would seem to lack confidence therefore the lack of
effort in races. Hard to recommend
Summary : WAIPA (3) ran a cracker last time out and a win looks to be right around the corner.
Should go very close to getting the job done. LAYALINA (2) looks to be ready to strike and if Waipa
doesn’t pitch up, she could pick up the pieces. VEGA DREAM (5) is running well and is in a good
heart so should be able to run to a good enough level here. KRYPTON (10) has been relieved by
the handicapper and could start showing more.

WAIPA (3) – LAYALINA (2) – VEGA DREAM (5) – KRYPTON (10)
