France Race Card – 21st September
Race Preview
R1 – PRIX DE LA MULATIERE – 2000m (a1 1/4m) – TURF – Claiming – Class 4 – Flat – EUR € 16.000
1. MOONFLIGHT – He has won twice over slightly further and now drops in trip but he could still
find himself being competitive. Can get involved in proceedings
2. RIDWAAN – Bounced back to winning ways last time out over 1800m and could easily confirm
it in this. Big runner
3. FOLLOW YOU – He has his first run on the flat and needs to be watched carefully in the
market as any support would be positive. One for the shortlist
4. WILLYWHAT – He finished last of seven on debut and would need to show massive
improvement to get involved. Would be a shock winner
5. KABIR – Finished 3rd last time out behind the reopposing Ridwaan and could get a lot closer
now upped in trip. Place chance
6. HEYTESBURY LANE – She finished 10th over 1600m last time out and hasn’t been in the best
form off late so it’s easy to look elsewhere. Improvement needed
7. PERDRIOLLE – She ran 5th last time out showing signs that she could be back in form and
she is one that could outrun her odds. Place chance
8. MISS BELIEVE – Well performed individual that is in decent form barring her last run and she
should enjoy the step up in trip. Should run well
Summary : RIDWAAN (2) did everything right last time out and can be followed with confidence
once again now meeting slightly weaker. MISS BELIEVE (8) has the form to see her run well and
she demands healthy respect with a good galloping weight. MOONFLIGHT (1) will be staying on
nicely at the finish and could sneak into a place. KABIR (5) is held on his last effort but is a likely
placegetter here.
SELECTIONS
RIDWAAN (2) – MISS BELIEVE (8) – MOONFLIGHT (1) – KABIR (5)
R2 – PRIX DES PENSEES – 1600m (a1m) – TURF – Claiming – Flat – EUR € 15.000
1. FAVORY CHOP – He won his maiden two starts back and followed that up with a very pleasing
3rd place finish over 1400m. Will run well
2. KALEOCREEK – He was not seen to best effect last time out when beaten into 9th position but
should bounce back to his previous form which will see him go close. Big runner
3. PRINCESSE SAPHIR – She finished 4th in her first attempt over a longer trip last time out and
now dropping in trip, she should still run a nice race. Each way credentials
4. SKADOOSH – He finished 4th last time out over 2000m but drops in trip which doesn’t seem
likely to suit. Others make more appeal
5. HOCKA HEY – Ran no type of race on debut finishing 11th of twelve and will need to show
significant improvement to challenge. Hard to fancy
Summary : KALEOCREEK (2) should be forgiven for his last start and is capable of showing a
better side of himself in a contest that lacks depth. PRINCESSE SAPHIR (3) put in a solid effort
over further and should make her presence felt over a trip that she should be comfortable over.
FAVORY CHOP (1) arrives here in good form and should run another forward race. HOCKA HEY
(5) will need to make improvement.
SELECTIONS
KALEOCREEK (2) – PRINCESSE SAPHIR (3) – FAVORY CHOP (1) – HOCKA HEY (5)
R3 – CRITERIUM DE LYON – 1600m (a1m) – TURF – Condition Race – Listed – Flat – EUR € 60.000
1. ARIGATO – He ran 4th in a Listed race last time out over 1650m and was far from disgraced
so needs to be respected. Each way chance
2. TEN HORNS – Promising sort that put his opposition to the sword at his recent outing and
despite dropping in trip should run well. Big runner
3. NE ME QUITTE PAS – He has won twice from his last three starts and should have more to
offer but now steps up in Class. Place chance
4. EMPLOY – She has run in Listed races in her last two starts finishing 7th and 4th respectively.
Meets similar company and could go well. Include in all bets
5. TIFFANYLI – Finished 3rd well beaten behind Ten Horns last time out and could struggle to
reverse the form. Others preferred
6. FAKARAVA – She ran out a comfortable winner of her maiden last time out and there looks to
be more to come from this filly who is open to any amount of improvement. Should go well
Summary : FAKARAVA (6) only won her maiden last time out but there was lots to like about the
manner in which she won and she could be one to follow. TEN HORNS (2) is on the up and could
well account for this field. ARIGATO (1) has been tested at this level before so should have a say
in proceedings. EMPLOY (4) also has experience at this level and will run an honest type of race.
SELECTIONS
FAKARAVA (6) – TEN HORNS (2) – ARIGATO (1) – EMPLOY (4)
R4 – PRIX TOP WAY – 1600m (a1m) – TURF – Condition Race – Maiden – Flat – EUR € 17.000
1. NOSHOWONFRIDAY – He returns to maiden company after a run in handicaps last time out
and could put his best foot forward but isn’t the most reliable. Place chance
2. PEGO – Finished an unappealing 6th on debut in Germany and would need to do more now
having her first run in France. Difficult to recommend
3. PANZER – He has shown very little in his first two starts and doesn’t inspire any confidence.
Would be a shock winner
4. SHORT FINAL – He finished 3rd over 1400m last time out and now steps back up in trip to
1600m which shouldn’t be an issue. Should go well
5. VILLAGE ANGLAIS – He ran a very decent 4th over track and trip two starts back and
shouldn’t be discounted in a race of this nature. Should run well
6. AMERA – She finished back in 2nd last time out but was beaten 4l over the 1800m trip. Further
drop in trip which is questionable but she can improve. Place chance
7. ARISTOCRAZY – She ran a cracker on debut but hasn’t managed to reproduce that in her
latest two starts. She should improve here. Each way chance
8. VINCA – She has been well held in all of her starts to date and will need to start improving if
she is to win a race. Others make more appeal
9. JUNEBUG – She finished 5th over 2000m last time out and will need to show big improvement
in order to challenge now dropping in trip. Others preferred
Summary : SHORT FINAL (4) has the form to run a big race and could just do that taking on a
field that isn’t overly strong. NOSHOWONFRIDAY (1) has shown before and if he can bounce
back to his earlier form, he will be a serious threat. ARISTOCRAZY (7) needs to be watched
carefully as her debut run was very appealing and could show that form here. AMERA (6) seems
to be improving with each run and could get involved.
SELECTIONS
SHORT FINAL (4) – NOSHOWONFRIDAY (1) – ARISTOCRAZY (7) – AMERA (6)
R5 – PRIX DU POINT DU JOUR – 1600m (a1m) – TURF – Handicap – Class 4 – Flat – EUR € 14.000
1. TOUTELUSIVE – Was a winner at her penultimate and followed that up with an encouraging
2nd at Vichy over 1600m. Serious claims
2. SHANNA ROSE – Ignore last run, taking time to win again but has solid place form and is one
for the shortlist. Strong place chance
3. JOYEUX MALPIC – Was a winner at penultimate race but last run a concern. Others seem
much the stronger and can be passed by
4. TURTLE CHOPE – Ran a good race last time finishing 3rd over 1600m at this venue and is
one of the leading lights. Strong each way chance
5. BELCHA – Knocking at the door and has strong each way claims. Ran 4th at La-Roche-Posay
over 1700m last time. Include
6. MAKALIA – Ten time winner, won last start over 1600m at Cavaillon and could threaten
despite being an outsider. Do not dismiss
7. RECORD THE SHAW – A long time maiden but caught the eye when 2nd at Deauville recently.
Should win soon but others chosen today for the win. Good place chance
8. SIBUYU – Taking time to win again but last run when 2nd at Cavaillon suggests winning turn
could be near. An outsider with a say
9. AFFAIRE CONCLUE – Cannot be suggested for any bets based on unattractive current form.
Hard to fancy
10. QUEEN OF THE NIGHT – Needs huge improvement to threaten here and can be excluded
from all bets
11. CHEEKY TRAOU LAND – Encouraging recent 2nd over 1600m at this course earlier this
month and rates the one to beat. Win choice
Summary : CHEEKY TRAOU LAND (11) is running well, has won plenty races before and can
go one better to record another win. TURTLE CHOPE (4) is taking time to score again but is
earning place cheques for the connections and she looks set to earn again. Big chance.
TOUTELUSIVE (1) is in hot form and is one of the leading lights. SHANNA ROSE (2) can be
forgiven for her last effort and must be included in all bets based on fair overall form.

R6 – PRIX PROFESSEUR COLLET – 2000m (a1 1/4m) – TURF – Handicap – Flat – EUR € 20.000
1. L’IMPREVUE – Ran a good 2nd at Marseille Borely over 2000m earlier this month and is one
for the shortlist. Good chance
2. DIANE’STAR – Won three runs back and since has been effective. Finished 2nd at Deauville
over 1900m in penultimate and has a serious chance
3. DUKE’S SPIRIT – Never too far off the action and at best can be given a small, outside place
chance. Far prefer others
4. GRANDE JULIA – Is hard to fancy based on current form, has won before but hard to fancy
today
5. MISURINA – Lightly raced, talented, finished 2nd over 2400m at Vichy last time and could be
very hard to oppose. Strong win selection
6. I’M ON MY WAY – Needs to build on current form and far prefer others for the selections. Pass
by
7. PAPYRUS ROAD – Has placed in most runs thus far, finished 2nd at Nancy last time over
2500m and must be taken very seriously. Big runner
8. GEOLOGIE – Finished 5th most recently after winning at Brehal over 2300m. An outsider that
could run well and help make the dividends pay
9. PUMP PUMP CITY – Expect this one to get much closer now and to build on recent 5th at
Vichy. Expect plenty cheek
10. DE QUEVEDO – Finished 3rd last time over 2000m at Saint-Cloud and can place again. An
outsider with a small place chance
Summary : MISURINA (5) gets the services of Maxime Guyon and comes into the race with a
rating of 33. She is lightly raced, clearly talented and rates the one to fear the most. PAPYRUS
ROAD (7) has placed 8 times from 10 starts and should get it all right soon. PUMP PUMP CITY
(9) is showing some promise and can start getting much, much closer now. Respect and include.
L’IMPREVUE (1) ran a cracker last time and has a competitive rating.

MISURINA (5) – PAPYRUS ROAD (7) – PUMP PUMP CITY (9) – L’IMPREVUE (1)
R7 – PRIX DES TRIBUNES – 2400m (a1 1/2m) – TURF – Divised Handicap – Class 4 – Flat – EUR € 16.000
1. SCHERWOOD – Was a winner three runs back at Vittel over 2100m but has not shone since.
Prefer others
2. DUX – Has run 3rd in last two and can get much closer now. Should go very close to winning.
Big runner
3. SYLVER SAMBA – Won well at Clairefontaine over 2400m in August and followed that up with
a good 4th at Salon Provence. Big chance
4. HARD TALK – Is an outsider that might find it tough to threaten the top ones. Happy to ignore
5. WILLY BOY – Ignore last run, caught the eye in penultimate when 2nd at Lyon La Soie over
2400m and has very strong each way claims. Can win
6. ROCHEUX – Based on current and overall form, would be a surprise winner. Happy to ignore
7. KING SUN – Has run some attractive races recently against weaker. Cannot be completely
ignored but others could be much stronger
8. MOKO – Won three races ago and can build on recent 5th over 2400m earlier this month.
Strong each way chance
9. EVAGRO – Finished 2nd at Divonne last time but is taking forever to get it all right. Hard to
fancy for the win. Small place chance at best
10. ZINZICHERA – Needs to build on recent efforts and can. Outside chance based on better
earlier form, however prefer others
11. BRAZING – Needs to build on current form before being selected. Hard to fancy
12. AMIATA – Needs to build on current form, is an eight time winner but needs to bounce back
to better form. Happy to ignore today
13. LAGOONE CHOPE – Has run 4th in last two races and looks set to finish in the money again.
Quartet must
14. GO FOR IT – Finished 2nd last month over 3000m and could go one better. Chance
Summary : WILLY BOY (5) is a tad erratic but has run some solid races before. Based on his
best form, he looks the one to beat. DUX (2) is taking time to be victorious again but judging buy
his current efforts, his next win seems near. He should make his presence felt and is one to be
included in all bets. MOKO (8) was a winner 3 runs back but has been a tad disappointing
thereafter. SYLVER SAMBA (3) cannot be excluded from the quartet.
SELECTIONS
WILLY BOY (5) – DUX (2) – MOKO (8) – SYLVER SAMBA (3)
R8 – PRIX DU PADDOCK – 2400m (a1 1/2m) – TURF – Divised Handicap – Class 3 – Flat – EUR € 20.000
1. BEB’S – Is in good form at the moment and is one for the shortlist. A must for all bets and a
huge run can be expected
2. LOR BLANC – Won over 2400m recently at Divonne and won 2 starts before that too. In good
form and can continue that way. Bright chance
3. DENIA – Was a winner at Salon Provence over 2400m last time and has a bright chance of
following up. Big danger
4. NOBODY’S – Should run a huge race, is never too far off the action and is a must for the
quartet
5. KALAOS – Ignore last 3 runs, finished 2nd at Wissembourg over 2400m before that and has a
chance based on better earlier form. Strong each way chance
6. PAIDEIA – Finished 4th three runs back at Chantilly but form since then has been bad. Hard to
fancy and can be ignored
7. RANDONNEUR – Would be a surprise winner based on current form and is hard to fancy.
Ignore
8. EVERMAN – Can build on moderate recent efforts. Finished 4th over 2400m in June and can
make his presence felt
9. LA HAUTE ISLE – Needs to do a bit more before being taken seriously for the selection panel.
Happy to ignore
10. NANA GINA – Was a winner the last time she went racing. Won over 2800m at Moulins last
month. An outsider with a chance
11. BREATH OF FIRE – Ignore last two form lines, finished 3rd at Dieppe over 2200m before
that. He has strong each way claims in a weak line up
12. ELIZABEA – Expect her to build a lot on recent 5th at Moulins. Lightly raced and has a Good
chance
13. AMANDERO – Won 4 starts back but has not really shone since. Last run a shocker and is
hard to make a case for him. Pass by
14. SOUTHWEST HARBOR – Finished 4th over 2400m at Vichy in July and should run well if not
too much in need of the run. Chance
15. BEN DE DIANE – Will have a very small, outside place chance based on 2nd over 2400m 3
runs back. Others preferred
Summary : A vey weak race. KALAOS (5) is currently a tad off form but has shown some talent
and ability before. BREATH OF FIRE (11) will need to build on his last two efforts and can.
EVERMAN (8) is never too far off the action and can be expected to build on his last two
performances. ELIZABEA (12) has placed four times from six starts and should not be a maiden
for too much longer. Big runner.
