to be improving and should be taken seriously

make more appeal

ago. She is turned out again quickly and can get off the mark in this. LARISSA’S WORLD (9) was
3L back in fourth in the same race as RUE DE BRAQUE (8) and is probably the biggest threat.
SERENADE (6) has had a nice break since an encouraging effort at Dieppe when she was third.
She ought to be in the shake-up. LOVE IS GOLD (4) looks best of the remainder.

September. Can be involved at the finish

enclosure. He has the ability and should be fit after a run 22 days. HONGUEMARE (5) can give
him the most to think about. She has been performing with credit in her recent outings and will be
value in the betting exchanges. PRINCIPE (1) is also worth strong consideration. He was not
beaten far in a Class 1 handicap 17 days ago at Parislongchamp and warrants respect.

of a bold show
8. KARACENE – 4th last time over 2400m at Le Lion D’Angers in late July. Among the leading
chances

races when third on both runs. She can use her experience to get the job done. KELIG

ago was a good effort and she can make the selection work hard for success. KEL HISTOIRE
(11) has a taking profile and will be nicely prepared for his debut. KOKOCHAGA (1) makes up the
shortlist.

back on today she can be effective. Won over 2850m in September. Player
Summary : OLAWAY (10) can get back on track after a ‘blip’ when last seen. She won wearing
cheekpieces two runs back over 2850m in early September and looks like the best option with
them back on today. SEA TIME (5) is seeking a hat-trick of wins and ought to be on the premises
at the finish. RIHAMA (3) is one to include in all of the place bet permutations. HAVANA SIX (2)
is also one to look at from an each-way angle.

1. MORHIB – Two recent unplaced efforts, 3rd at Vichy before that over 1600m in late July in a

progressive and can feature

frame

bodes well for a bold show in this
6. HAMILTON – 4th when last seen over 2000m at Le Lion D’Angers in early August in a
handicap. Merits consideration

Opposable

look more persuasive
13. FASHIONED GIRL – Non Runner
14. DAYINA – Unplaced on all six runs so far, the latter over 2500m in late September. Needs a
few of these to falter
Summary : SLICK CHICK (5) has been running well recently and is still reasonably handicapped.
She can get win number two. LOVEATFIRSTSIGHT (3) could be the biggest danger to the likely
favourite after a pleasing second-placed effort 24 days ago over 2500m at Le Croise-Laroche.
SUBLIWAY (7) is lightly raced and has a good bit more to come, he can not be ruled out.
SINDERELLA (2) is another to include in the shortlist.

leading chances

September. Looks vulnerable
10. BELLE IMPRESSION – 3rd two runs ago over 1200m at Toulouse in late September in a
Class 4 handicap. Hard to fancy

handicap. Others rate higher
12. COCO LIGHT – Several unplaced runs of late, the latter over 1300m at Craon in late
September. Best watched for now
Summary : Despite having the most weight to carry, CAP SKIRRING (1) looks like the safest
option in an open-looking handicap. He has been in terrific form all season. URI (2) is capable of
making life difficult for the selection and can have a say in proceedings. GEORGE THE PRINCE
(4) has nosedived in the ratings but is capable of a bold show if anywhere near his best form.

Among the top three chances
5. TOOCOOLFORSCHOOL – Good 2nd two runs ago over 1400m in mid-September and was a
credible 4th in a handicap prior to that at Parislongchamp. Can be competitive
6. ELUSIVE NELSON – Four unplaced runs this year so far, the latter over 1600m in late July at
Compiegne. Needs a few of these to falter

in late September over 1400m. Looks ready for her first win
8. GORDINI ROAD – Unplaced in all three runs so far, tries a handicap for the first time. Others

10. SWEET DAMIANA – Fair effort when 4th at Craon over 1300m in a Class 4 handicap 22 days
ago. Place chance

to be thereabouts
12. RED NUDE ROUGE – Nice effort when 2nd at Chantilly over 1300m in a Class 3 handicap 6
days ago. Competitive run anticipated
Summary : SHINE ON ME (7) is better than her form figures would suggest. She ran a nice race
at Chantilly at the end of September and this looks like a good opportunity for her to get her first
success. TOOCOOLFORSCHOOL (5) is a live threat on her best form, she was a good way
behind the selection in the Chantilly race but can be forgiven for that run. BARBUDA (11) is
capable of making an impact. BIG FREEZE (4) also merits consideration.
