Race Preview
R1 – CRITERIUM DE PROVENCE – PRIX LUCIEN PLANARD – 1700m (a1 1/16m) – TURF – Condition Race – Class 2 – Flat – EUR € 27.000
1. SUPER RAFALE – Won over 1600m at La Teste in early August when last seen. Seemed to like
the step up in trip that day and looks progressive
2. PEPETE – Credible run when 2nd in a Class 2 race last time over 1800m at Salon-De-Provence
on September 7th. Contender
3. TIFFANYLI – 4th in a Listed race over 1600m at Lyon Parilly 11 days ago when last seen. Can
not be ruled out
4. OLYMPE MANCINI – 4th last time over 1600m in a Class 2 race at Clairefontaine in early August.
Others rate higher
5. UN INSTANT – Looked likely to win when jinking and unseating his jockey at this track last time
about 200m from the finish over 1800m in early September. Bold show likely
Summary : SUPER RAFALE (1) should relish the extra 100m today, he won going away at La
Teste when scoring on his latest run in August over 1600m. He is the one to beat. PEPETE (2) can
give the selection plenty to think about. She was a credible second in a Class 2 race last time and
is very honest. UN INSTANT (5) can play a lead role. He jinked and unseated his jockey last time
when making a possible winning challenge and is clearly talented.
SELECTIONS
SUPER RAFALE (1) – PEPETE (2) – UN INSTANT (5) – TIFFANYLI (3)
R2 – PRIX FYRIAL PURSUIT – 1700m (a1 1/16m) – TURF – Condition Race – Maiden – Flat – EUR € 23.000
1. LOVERS DAY – Nice run when 2nd at this track over 1800m on September 4th. Looks
progressive and ought to be thereabouts
2. EPIC – 7th of 9 runners on debut at Vichy over 1600m in early August on only start to date.
Others rate higher
3. LORD OF WAR – 3rd over 1400m last time at Saint-Cloud in late June. Narrowly behind (Shiffrin,
who is a Group 3 winner since). Sets the standard.
4. SABROZURA – 2nd last time over 1600m at La Teste in early September. Can improve from
that effort and play a lead role
5. CLASH OF CURRENTS – Two unplaced runs so far the latest over 1800m in early September
in a Class 2 race. Might find this difficult
6. LOOMAN PARIS – Won over 1800m at Salon-De-Provence in early September on the latest
run. Has work to do to feature
7. LOUIS DE LA KLAUSS – Promising 4th at this track on September 4th (Lovers day 2nd). Sure
to improve for that debut run. Can be competitive
Summary : LORD OF WAR (3) was a close-up third at Saint-Cloud on his latest run, with Shiffrin
narrowly ahead of him in second place that day. Shiffrin has won twice since including a Group 3
race on its latest run. He can be too smart for these. SABROZURA (4) ran well when second over
1600m when last seen and looks like the main danger. LOVERS DAY (1) and LOUIS DE LA
KLAUSS (7) can also be competitive and ought to be involved at the business end.
SELECTIONS
LORD OF WAR (3) – SABROZURA (4) – LOVERS DAY (1) – LOUIS DE LA KLAUSS (7)
R3 – PRIX MIRACULOUS – 1700m (a1 1/16m) – TURF – Condition Race – Maiden – Flat – EUR € 23.000
1. ASTRA DREAM – Unplaced last time over 1600m and Lyon Parilly in early September. Has work
to do to feature
2. KISSY – Unplaced on only start so far over 1200m at this track in mid-September. Others make
more appeal
3. LA CLOCHARDE – 9th of 10 runners on debut at this track over 1800m in early September.
Looks out of her depth
4. PRETTY BERRY – Won last time over 1200m at Dax in early September in a claiming race.
Upped in grade and might find this difficult
5. DALKAVA – 5th last time over 1800m at this track in early September. Can keep progressing
and is sure to be involved
6. ROSE D’ETE – Nice 4th over 1800m at this track on only run so far. Sure to improve off that
effort and be competitive
7. QUEEN LIZZIE – 6th over 1800m last time at this track in early September behind two rivals she
meets again today. Can not be ruled out
8. SPARKLING PLENTY – Newcomer by Kingman, from a respected stable who ready a juvenile.
A bold show is expected. The betting market can guide
9. ZELZAMIA – Newcomer by Zelzal, can be wiser for this debut run. Watch the betting market
closely for clues
Summary : This could go to the newcomer SPARKLING PLENTY (8) who looks good on paper
and is sure to be nicely tuned for her debut. DALKAVA (5) has experience and ran well when fifth
at this track on her latest run. She looks like the main threat. ROSE D’ETE (6) can improve off her
only run when fourth at this track in the same race as DALKAVA (5) when they met recently.
QUEEN LIZZIE (7) makes up the shortlist.
SELECTIONS
SPARKLING PLENTY (8) – DALKAVA (5) – ROSE D’ETE (6) – QUEEN LIZZIE (7)
R4 – PRIX DE MONTMAJOUR – 2600m (a1 5/8m) – TURF – Handicap – Flat – EUR € 20.000
1. BAILEYS ECLAIR – Fair 3rd at this track last time over 2000m in early September. Looks the
best each-way option
2. TREATWOOD – Good second last time over 2400m in early September. Consistent all year so
far and looks the one to beat
3. ROUGE – 5th last time over 2400m in a Class 2 race in mid-September. Ought to be thereabouts
4. FOXGLOVE – Won last time over 2900m in a Class 3 race in late August at Cavaillon. Outside
place chance
5. OHIME – Fair effort when 5th on his latest start over 2400m in early September. Others make
more appeal
6. STRATUS – 2nd over 2400m last time in a claiming race in mid-September. Might find this difficult
in a much better race today
7. BREIZH WOOD – Won his last two runs the latest over 2400m in a claimer in mid-September.
Can make presence felt
Summary : TREATWOOD (2) has been running well all season so far and can get his head back
in front after two good second-placed efforts over 2400m on his last two runs. BREIZH WOOD (7)
is seeking a hat-trick of wins he is improving and looks the main danger. BAILEYS ECLAIR (1) can
not be discounted and is sure to be competitive as is ROUGE (3) who won three starts ago at Vichy
over 2400m and warrants respect.
SELECTIONS
TREATWOOD (2) – BREIZH WOOD (7) – BAILEYS ECLAIR (1) – ROUGE (3)
R5 – PRIX DE LA PANOUSE – 2600m (a1 5/8m) – TURF – Handicap – Class 4 – Flat – EUR € 14.000
1. FICHA LIMPIA – A winner over this course and distance a year ago but she has been in poor
form of late and is probably best watched this time
2. MISS ROAZHON – On a very long losing run. Fair form of late off her current mark and she can
contest the finish once again
3. PUMPY GIRL – Disappointing last run when ninth. Capable of better and she is capable of
bouncing back to score in this line-up
4. LA BRUXELLOISE – On a long losing run since only win and she has been struggling of late.
Capable of doing better and is not out of it
5. ROCHEUX – More than a year since his last win. He has struggled this year and needs major
improvement to win
6. MAVALA – Won a couple of times in 2022 but she has lost her way this year and she has
struggled in three outings this year. Others are preferred
7. FEEDESREVES – Both her wins have been on the PSF but she has been in fair form this year
on the turf and she has a winning chance
8. AMIATA – Heavily raced of late and she showed improvement when fourth last time out. Distance
suited and should finish in the money
Summary : FEEDESREVES (7) is clearly at best on the PSF but she has also run fair races on
the turf and could be the one to beat. PUMPY GIRL (3) is clearly better than her last run would
suggest and she can bounce back to score if in the mood. AMIATA (8) showed some improvement
when fourth last time out and can contest the finish. MISS ROAZHON (2) is in fair form of late and
could break a long losing run.

FEEDESREVES (7) – PUMPY GIRL (3) – AMIATA (8) – MISS ROAZHON (2)
R6 – PRIX JOSEPH TROGGI – 2000m (a1 1/4m) – TURF – Claiming – Flat – EUR € 15.000
1. KAPETANIOS – Picked up his first win when a course and distance claimer last time out. Capable
of following up
2. MONACO RULES – Has improved with each run. Good last win and he is capable of following
up dropped to a claimer
3. LIMESY – A winner over this course and distance on debut. Has been fair since and dropped to
a claimer should make a bold bid at winning
4. VITTVITT – Her only win was a handicap in May. Has only been modest since then and others
are preferred this time
5. SPIRIT GREY – Has yet to win a race but he does always give of his best. Runner-up in a claimer
over this track and trip last time out. Place chance
6. LE TROPIC – His only win was a claimer in January. Runs well in claimers and could contest the
finish once again
7. GRECIAN STAR – Both his wins were last year. Disappointing form of late but is clearly capable
of better and has a winning chance
Summary : LIMESY (3) won over this track and trip on debut and dropped to a claimer should be
right there at the finish. MONACO RULES (2) has improved with each run and won well last time
out. He will be a big threat. GRECIAN STAR (7) was better last year but is not out of it. SPIRIT
GREY (5) always gives of his best and can contest the finish yet again.

LIMESY (3) – MONACO RULES (2) – GRECIAN STAR (7) – SPIRIT GREY (5)
R7 – PRIX DE L’ASSOCIATION PROVINCE-PARIS – 2000m (a1 1/4m) – TURF – Divised Handicap – Class 4 – Flat – EUR € 16.000
1. AZACHOP – Unreliable since winning at this course in March but he has been runner-up a couple
of times since then and has a winning chance
2. DARLYVI – Fit and she has been in very good form of late. Distance suited and should fight out
the finish yet again
3. GAMECHANGER – On a long losing run but he was runner-up in his penultimate start and can
fight out the finish
4. BEN DE DIANE – Not disgraced when fifth last time out. Well tried this year without winning but
could finish in the money
5. THE MANAGER – Well tried this year and did win in January. Not disgraced when fourth in a
claimer last time out. Might place
6. TCHAKOVA – Yet to win a race and was only modest when eighth last time out. More needed
to win this race
7. MARITOT – Very consistent of late and did win a race in July. Can fight out the finish once again
8. LE PARRAIN – Fair last two runs when finishing fourth on both occasions. Won a handicap in
June and is clearly not out of it
Summary : AZACHOP (1) has been unreliable since winning in March but likes this course and
has a big winning chance in this line-up. GAMECHANGER (3) has not won for some time but
indicated his well being when runner-up in his penultimate start and has a winning chance.
DARLYVI (2) is fit and in very good form so should be right there at the finish once again. BEN DE
DIANE (4) has been well tried this year without winning but is also not out of it.

AZACHOP (1) – GAMECHANGER (3) – DARLYVI (2) – BEN DE DIANE (4)
R8 – PRIX LUCIEN FRAUCIEL – 2000m (a1 1/4m) – TURF – Divised Handicap – Class 3 – Flat – EUR € 20.000
1. DRAGONET – Disappointing last run when eighth and he does seem at best on the PSF these
days. Capable of winning if in the mood
2. BENI KHIAR – His last two wins have been on the PSF but he was not disgraced when third over
this course and distance last time out. Has a winning chance
3. RIO D’OCTOBRE – Good last win in a handicap over this course and distance. Carries a 2.5kg
penalty but is capable of following up with another win
4. CORTEZ BANK – More than a year since his last win but he has been very consistent of late
and should fight out the finish
5. MUELHEIMER PERLE – In good form of late with two wins in her last four starts. Better in
claimers but is capable of contesting the finish
6. ONARIA – Well beaten on the PSF last time out. Does better on the grass and she has won twice
this year. Deserves respect in this line-up
7. INTERIEUR – Unreliable again this year but he has won three times. Struggled in his last two
handicaps and others are preferred
8. DUELIST – Both of his wins have been this year and he is in good form of late. Tougher task this
time around but can earn some money
Summary : RIO D’OCTOBRE (3) carries a 2.50kg penalty for a recent course and distance victory
but that may not be enough to stop another win. CORTEZ BANK (4) has not won for over a year
but has been very consistent of late and should fight out the finish. DRAGONET (1) is at best on
the PSF but cannot be dismissed from winning. MUELHEIMER PERLE (5) is better in claimers but
has been winning well of late and deserves some respect.
