R1 – PRIX SECURITY ONE – 2000m (a1 1/4m) – TURF – Condition Race – Class 2 – Flat – EUR € 22.000

1. MEDIA STORM – Comes into this contest in solid form and looks to have a bright chance of
being able to win. Big runner
2. YQUELON – Inconsistent type that has won twice in his last four starts but needs to add some
consistency to his form. Place chance at best
3. MON BEL CANTO – Runner up in his last two outings and back up in trip to 2000m, he could go
one better. Winning chance
4. RESHABAR – Has been tested at Group level in his last two starts and with this representing a
drop in class, he could find himself going well. Leading claims
5. VA S’Y MIX – Finished 5th last time out over this trip but would need to do slightly more on recent
form to win. Place chance
6. GOLONDRINA – She has had two starts to date and has finished 8th in both outings. Needs
huge improvement to challenge. Would be a shock winner

Summary : MEDIA STORM (1) has been knocking on the door quite loudly in his recent starts and
would be a deserving winner. RESHABAR (4) has been competing against stronger and will enjoy
being in calmer waters. MON BEL CANTO (3) will be hoping for a bit off luck in running in order to
get his head in front. VA S’Y MIX (5) needs to improve on recent form but could run into a minor
position.

R2 – PRIX DE L’ELEVAGE DES ANGLO-ARABES – 2400m (a1 1/2m) – TURF – Condition Race – Flat – EUR € 49.500

1. HARRY DE LA BRUNIE AA – He arrives here in terrific form having notched up two consecutive
wins over the trip and the hat trick is on the cards. One to beat
2. SIERRA DE L’ABBAYE AA – She has finished 4th in her last two efforts and is held by the top
two on form. Place chance
3. INCROYABLE D’OC AA – She won her last start quite comfortably and could have more to come
despite being held by a few on her penultimate effort. Upset potential
4. SYBILLINE AA – Held by a few on her last run but she is capable of getting closer to the action
and running a place. Each way chance
5. ANGELO DE L’ABBAYE AA – He’s found one to beat him in his last two starts with one of those
seconds coming behind the top pick in this. Big runner
6. HORIZON DE TANUES AA – He is in fairly consistent, hard-knocking form and looks set to run
another honest type of race. Place claims
7. JOBURG PONTADOUR AA – She has run into the money in her last two outings but on overall
form would need to do more to win this. Hard to fancy

Summary : HARRY DE LA BRUNIE AA (1) is loving life at the moment and looks set to go very
close to winning again. ANGELO DE L’ABBAYE AA (5) is getting closer to another win and could
pick up the pieces if the favorite doesn’t pitch up. SYBILLINE AA (4) hasn’t been too far off the
action and can sneak into a place. SIERRA DE L’ABBAYE AA (2) is held on form but could run
another honest race and should be on the premises.

R3 – PRIX KANINHOP – 2000m (a1 1/4m) – TURF – Claiming – Flat – EUR € 17.000

1. BELINSKOV – Finished 6th last time out but is clearly way better than that piece off form and
can bounce back now upped in trip. Winning chance
2. ZOKOA – Finished 7th last time out over 1900m and represents moderate form so he doesn’t
inspire much confidence. Others preferred
3. MINDSET – Well beaten in 5th position in his debut run in France but can improve on that
performance to get closer. Place chance at best
4. VOLCAN – He comes into this in good heart having run good races over in Spain and if he can
reproduce some of those runs, he will be competitive. Each way chance
5. WAYOFSPEED – Winner off her maiden two starts back and steps up in trip which could suit this
filly down to the ground. Expect good improvement
6. DONAVENTURA – Finished 9th in her only appearance to date and needs to take a big step
forward in order to challenge. Hard to recommend
7. MYTHICAL WORLD – Ran a very disappointing 7th last time out but is best judged on his prior
form where he notched up back to back wins. Big runner
8. OLIVENZA – Newcomer that doesn’t stand out in terms of pedigree but could be one to keep an
eye on, on debut. Follow the market

Summary : BELINSKOV (1) can easily bounce back to winning ways in a race that doesn’t appear
to be overly strong. MYTHICAL WORLD (7) is a very capable sort that is in good form despite a
below par run last time out and can mount a strong bid. MINDSET (3) should be able to improve
on what he showed last time out. VOLCAN (4) is interesting now back in France after a stint in
Spain and warrants some respect.

BELINSKOV (1) – MYTHICAL WORLD (7) – MINDSET (3) – VOLCAN (4)

R4 – PRIX JOUE CLUB – 1600m (a1m) – TURF – Condition Race – Maiden – Flat – EUR € 23.000

1. KAMAKURA ONE – Cracking run on debut and she followed that up with a 3rd over track and
trip. She should be able to get closer. Winning chance
2. BLUE CHANEL – Filly that produced very little to get excited about on debut and would need to
show a better version of herself here. Others preferred
3. MADAME LYDIA – Ran no sort of race on debut and it’s difficult seeing her troubling the judge
in this contest. Hard to fancy
4. I HAVE THE TOUCH – Finished 8th on debut but hails from a top yard so you are almost likely
to see improvement from this runner. Place chance
5. SOGNIAMO – She has run two fair races to date and remains with further scope for improvement.
Should run well
6. FINE ANYWAY – Well beaten in 5th position on debut but should be able to build on that effort
to run into a minor spot. Place chance
7. ALPHABIA – Finished 4th over 1400m last time out and despite being held, she is likely to get
better with that run under the belt. Place chance
8. MISSION ALPHA – Cracking run last time out when finishing in 3rd position and looks to be
getting better with racing. Winning chance
9. LA PORTUGAISE – Has improved with all three runs to date and can continue doing so now
upped in trip which should suit. Include in the places
10. ATRANI – Dam was a three timer winner from 1950m – 2000m including a Listed race and this
individual could be worth watching. Follow the market

Summary : KAMAKURA ONE (1) ran a blinder on debut and if able to reproduce that run here then
she should go very well and could be the one to beat. SOGNIAMO (5) has put in two decent efforts
and can only improve going forward. MISSION ALPHA (8) looks a serious threat and could build
on her recent outing. ATRANI (10) is a newcomer of interest and could be worth following if the
market speaks in her favor.

KAMAKURA ONE (1) – SOGNIAMO (5) – MISSION ALPHA (8) – ATRANI (10)

R5 – PRIX DECATHLON LA TESTE – 1400m (a7f) – TURF – Condition Race – Maiden – Flat – EUR € 17.000

1. DREAM ANGEL – His recent performances suggest that he will battle to run into a minor position
here and it’s difficult to see anything better happening. Hard to fancy
2. WILD HAWK – He’s had two starts in France with neither being to encouraging and he would
need to make significant improvement. More needed
3. MESTREYF – He has had three starts to date and hasn’t particularly set the tracks alight and he
needs to show more. Easy to pass by
4. LADY LUNE – Very poor start to her career finishing 10th over 1800m and it seems as if they
are starting again with her by going over 1400m. Others preferred
5. KHAMALGANE – Finished 3rd last time out over 1600m and now drops back in trip to 1400m
which could be a negative but if it doesn’t catch her out then she’ll be competitive. Place chance
6. BEAUTIFUL SUMMER – First run in France was certainly very attractive finishing close up in 5th
and with more to come from her, she is on the radar. Big runner
7. KAKHOVKA – She’s fairly exposed at this point having had six starts but finishing 2nd in her
recent outings suggest a win could be near. Winning chance
8. TOOGOODFORSCHOOL – Twelve starts to date and she’s yet to crack it which doesn’t bode
well against slightly less exposed rivals. Place chance
9. BRIDGE WATER – Ran a solid 3rd in her debut appearance in France and she looks to be the
type that could get better with experience. Each way chance
10. LA CHUECA – Comes into this with very weak form and it’s hard to see that changing in this
contest. Would be a surprise winner

Summary : BEAUTIFUL SUMMER (6) ran a pleasing race last time out and is worth following
against a field that she could be far better than. Horse to beat. KAKHOVKA (7) has had a few
chances but her recent form catches the eye and she should be able to make her presence felt.
TOOGOODFORSCHOOL (8) is a well tried maiden that is battling to get it right but can earn.
KHAMALGANE (5) drops in trip for her fourth start which seems questionable but she could earn
as well.

R6 – PRIX GILBERT MOGA – 1600m (a1m) – TURF – Divised Handicap – Class 3 – Flat – EUR € 20.000

1. PASSALITO – Finished 6th last time out and on recent form it’s hard to have any confidence in
this individual running a forward race. Others preferred
2. GIFT OF THE G – His last start was all wrong and it’s best to ignore it. He represents good form
over this trip which bodes well for his chances. Each way claims
3. CAESARS PALACE – In terrific winning form this year but very inconsistent which is a negative.
Track and trip winner last time out and one to keep an eye on. Include in all bets
4. VALLEE D’ENFER – Two starts this year and both haven’t been positive which leads us to
believe that this runner isn’t in the best heart at present. Easy to look elsewhere
5. ZOFFWALTZ – Ran a cracking 2nd last time out over 1400m just finding one too good and she
could make amends here. Winning chance
6. RAPIDO PRESTO – Winner of his last outing at this track over 1400m and now steps up in trip
which shouldn’t be an issue. Can go back to back
7. BUTI – No sort of form to work with and it’s hard to see this runner having a say in proceedings.
Hard to fancy
8. YSSINGEAUX – Arrives in very decent form and he is certainly one at a price that could be worth
including in the play. Solid claims
9. NUIT D’ALIENOR – She won over the trip last time out putting an end to her poor form but will
need to confirm that huge improvement here. Place chance
10. BECHO – Winner of her last two starts over this trip albeit against weaker, her confidence is up
and she could go well. Include in all bets
11. TRUJILLO – He represents uninspiring from and it’s easy to pass this runner by at present.
Difficult to recommend
12. MONA LISA – No form to work with at present and would need a complete form turnaround to
challenge. Hard to fancy
13. UNTITLED – Last won a race back in 2021 and recent effort don’t inspire much confidence.
Would be a shock winner
14. BADASS – His last three efforts have all been backward type of runs and required huge
improvement. Would be a surprise winner

Summary : RAPIDO PRESTO (6) is running well and looks set to run a huge race over the 1600m
trip. CAESARS PALACE (3) has won three times this year and looks like he could reel off a couple
more but needs to find some consistency. ZOFFWALTZ (5) can go one better in this event and
should be in the money on her recent form. GIFT OF THE G (2) has the right credentials to effective
in this line up.

RAPIDO PRESTO (6) – CAESARS PALACE (3) – ZOFFWALTZ (5) – GIFT OF THE G (2)

R7 – PRIX DU HARAS DE GALOUIN (PRIX DU PRESIDENT JEAN-LOUIS HISS) – 1600m (a1m) – TURF – Divised Handicap – Class 4 – Flat – EUR € 16.000

1. CHAAM – Finished 2nd behind King’s Caprice last time out and could turn the tables with that
rival. Each way chance
2. ATLANTICA – She won her penultimate start over 1400m and despite not backing that up with
a decent run, she could outrun her odds. Upset type
3. ARCOS VANCOUVER – He has dropped quite a bit in the ratings and needs to start showing
that he can be effective off this mark. Watch for now
4. SHANGRI LA – Fourteen runs in France without a win but his last start which came over in Spain
saw him being victorious. Include in the play
5. KING’S CAPRICE – Put an end to his ordinary form by winning last time out over 1600m and he
could follow up in a weak race. Winning chance
6. JUSTE BERE – He seems to be getting back to his old form with two decent efforts in recent
starts and warrants respect here. Could get involved
7. SOLITARY MAN – Ran a much improved 5th last time out over 1900m. Winner over track and
trip which is a positive. Should run well
8. LA CATELLA – She has bits and pieces of form that we can work with . Ran 4th over track and
trip in her penultimate start could see her challenging boldly. Winning chance
9. THE FUNK BIBLE – Strictly on recent from it’s difficult to make a case for him but he’s dropped
a few points in the ratings which will help. Include
10. KATHALINA – Her form at present doesn’t indicate that she is capable of winning and it’s easy
to look pass her. Would be a surprise winner
11. LA FILLE DE BERLIN – Difficult to assess on recent form and he needs to start shaping up in
order to maintain his followers. Others preferred
12. MONSIEUR EMILE – Remains a maiden from forty four outings and would be an absolute shock
winner were he to get it right. Hard to recommend
13. INDIAN DEAL – Remains a maiden after nineteen starts and it’s difficult to see that changing
in this line up. Would be a shock winner

Summary : SOLITARY MAN (7) can continue to improve and build on his latest performance to
get a blow in here. THE FUNK BIBLE (9) doesn’t necessarily stand out with regards to form but
could do something of his current mark. LA CATELLA (8) ran a fair race in her penultimate start
and that could work in her favor here. KING’S CAPRICE (5) won his last start over the trip and has
confidence on his side which makes a huge difference taking on runners that haven’t tasted
success in a while.

R8 – PRIX CARPENTER – FONDATION CLAUDE POMPIDOU (PRIX DU LUDE) – 1650m (a1m40y) – TURF – Condition Race – Maiden – Flat – EUR € 23.000

1. HIMYAN – Yoann Barille rides this Olympic Glory newcomer for trainer Edouard Monfort.
Probably for another day
2. DSCHINGIS JADE – Yann Barberot-trained Dschingis Secret filly who finished a well-beaten 9th
on debut. Must improve to feature
3. SALMA – Improved in her latest outing and did better than her finishing position (5th) may
suggest. Is likely to be a factor here
4. VELIA – Showed enough to work with when an encouraging 5th on debut and is likely to improve
with that experience under the belt. Respect
5. MARA WOOD – The most experienced runner in the race. Improved to finish 4th last time but
must raise her game to have a say
6. LET’S GO GIRL – Open to improvement with the benefit of experience having finished 8th on
debut. Could get a look in
7. EXIGENCE – Confirmed the improvement of her previous outing by finishing 3rd last time and is
unlikely to stop there. Keep safe
8. BELISE – Finished an encouraging 6th on debut and would have gained plenty from that
experience. Will have more to offer
9. BANSHIE – Joël Boisnard-trained Johnny Barnes debutante closely related to Prince De Paname
who placed at Listed level. Not taken lightly
10. UNEXPECTED GIRL – Shalaa filly on debut for trainer Mathieu Brasme who has engaged
Tristan Baron to ride. For another day
11. TEARDROP EXPLODES – Ludovic Gadbin-trained Seabhac newcomer to keep an eye on, with
Maxime Guyon engaged to ride. Beware
12. HOCKA HEY – Toronado filly trained by Joséphine Soudan and to be ridden on debut by
Thomas Trullier. Best just to watch

Summary : SALMA (3), trained by Carlos & Yann Lerner who have enjoyed a fruitful summer
campaign, improved with the benefit of an introductory outing to finish 5th at her next/last start and
is likely to play a leading role here with further progress on the cards. She is, however, likely to face
stiff competition from BELISE (8) who should have more to offer after her encouraging (6th) debut
. Improving EXIGENCE (7) could also fight for victory after finishing 3rd last time. VELIA (4) and
newcomer BANSHIE (9) are others to consider.

SALMA (3) – BELISE (8) – EXIGENCE (7) – VELIA (4)

R9 – PRIX DU HARAS DE BOUQUETOT (CRITERIUM DE L’OUEST) – 1650m (a1m40y) – TURF – Condition Race – Listed – Flat – EUR € 60.000

1. ARIGATO – Has done little wrong and proved his competitiveness when finishing 3rd 3rd last
time having scored at his previous outing. Outsider
2. BATEAU BLANC – Confirmed the promise of his debut 2nd by winning next/last time and should
have more to offer. Keep safe
3. VOODOO MAGIC – Lost her unbeaten record last time when an unlucky 4th in a Group III event
at Deauville in July. Sets the standard
4. VIVE LA REINE – Rewarded for consistency with a last-start success and should remain
competitive, even at this level. Dark horse
5. MAYMAY – Finished 3rd over 1200m at Deauville last month but should have even more to over
this trip. Makes obvious appeal
6. SHADY LADY – Built on the promise of her debut (4th) by winning last time and ought to make
further progress. Has claims
7. SANS VOIX – Imposed herself when winning on debut at Le Lion d’Angers and, with the benefit
of that experience, is open to any amount of improvement

Summary : Having won the last two editions of this Listed event, Jean-Claude Rouget looks likely
to maintain his stranglehold with VOODOO MAGIC (3), who lost her unbeaten record last time
when an unlucky 4th in a Group III contest. MAYMAY (5) will fight for victory, though, as this
distance ought to suit her interests. Debut winner SANS VOIX (7) is open to any amount of
improvement so could also make her presence felt. Satoshi Kobayashi, winner of this race in 2020,
relies on BATEAU BLANC (2) this time.

SELECTIONS
VOODOO MAGIC (3) – MAYMAY (5) – SANS VOIX (7) – BATEAU BLANC (2)
