Race Preview
R1 – PRIX DU PRESIDENT FLORENT BELLAMY- PRIX DES AMAZONES – 1900m (a1 3/16m) – TURF – Handicap – Flat – EUR € 14.000
1. GORMLAITH – Arrives here in terrific form having won twice from her last three starts and should
deliver another bold performance over an ideal trip. Strong winning chance
2. GO FAST – Dropping in the ratings and could produce an encouraging effort now that he meets
slightly weaker. Can outrun his odds
3. FAR MOUNTAIN EMERY – Ran a better race at her last start when finishing 3rd and she should
appreciate being stepped up to this trip. Each way chance
4. MENILLES – Only win to date came in 2021 and her form after that doesn’t stand out and she
needs to do more. Hard to fancy
5. PREMIERE ETOILE – Not the most genuine around but ran a very pleasing 2nd last time out
and if able to confirm that, she would be a player. Include in the play
6. HEY MAN – Finishing 6th last time out behind Gormlaith and should be held on that form but
could find a minor position. Place chance at best
7. KONIG CHOUCHEN – Recent form doesn’t jump off the page but he now races off his lowest
rating for some time which could see him produce something positive. Place chance
8. ROCK OF SPIRIT – No show in recent outings but is another that is sliding down in the handicap
which could lead to an improved performance. Upset potential
9. ZILLI ROCKS – Only win to date came three starts back over 2000m and given his poor last
effort, he could find it tough here. Others make more appeal
10. KALEOROUNA – Arrives in poor form having finished unplaced in her last ten efforts, she would
need a lot to go her way. Would be a shock winner
Summary : GORMLAITH (1) brings arguably the best form figures into this contest and should be
able to continue in that rich vein of form. PREMIERE ETOILE (5) ran a good race last time out and
could be on the premises again with a similar performance. FAR MOUNTAIN EMERY (3) goes
over an ideal trip and could get involved. KONIG CHOUCHEN (7) should be able to show
something more encouraging off a lower mark.

R2 – GRAND PRIX DE CHOLET – 1350m (a7f) – TURF – Condition Race – Flat – EUR € 22.000
1. MEMORY DREAM – Seldon too far off the action and now drops in trip which is a slight negative
but he could earn a minor cheque. Place chance
2. AROWN – Last start winner over 1600m and now drops in distance but rises in class which could
find him wanting. Others preferred
3. CREW DRAGON – Last win came over track and trip a year ago and he could appreciate racing
at this level again on the back of fair efforts. Winning chance
4. GALIK – Finished 2nd two starts back and comes into this with a fair weight which could aid in
his chances to go well. Include in all bets
5. FEEL YOUR POWER – Tested at Listed and Group level earlier on in his career and despite not
showing his best off late, there is every reason to believe he could run well. Not one to take lightly
6. SEE YOU PINK – Finished 6th in a Listed race last time out and prior to that, he reeled off a hattrick so could be worth a second look. Upset type
7. SUNDAY FUDGE – Arrives in moderate form despite winning four starts back, which did come
against weaker opponents. More needed
Summary : CREW DRAGON (3) enjoys it around here and comes into this with some additional
weight off the back which will make a big difference. GALIK (4) will be suited by the conditions of
the race and should give a good account of himself. FEEL YOUR POWER (5) could produce a
positive performance in this and demands respect. MEMORY DREAM (1) will have his work cut
out over shorter but is capable of holding his own.

R3 – PRIX DES MAUGES – 1900m (a1 3/16m) – TURF – Handicap – Flat – EUR € 17.000
1. KERDINA – Remains a maiden after seventeen attempts but is seldom far off the action which
keeps followers interested. Place claims
2. SAMBA – Last start winner over 1700m that will be suited to the extra yardage now and could
make further improvement. Strong claims
3. SUGERTIME – Recent efforts aren’t inspiring but she could show decent improvement now
racing at a weaker center. Place chance
4. ZIBULON – Finished a close up 4th two starts back over track/trip and based on that
performance, he could enjoy these conditions. Winning chance
5. SERENADE – Won on debut over 2000m and hasn’t been disgraced in her three subsequent
runs which hold her in good stead heading into this contest. Include in all bets
6. BEAUTIFUL STRANGER – Winner of his maiden two starts back and followed that up with a
rather under par effort which doesn’t bode well for his chances. Hard to fancy
7. GEOLOGIE – Finished 7th over 1800m and may have found the trip on the sharper side as her
only win to date has come over 2300m. Others preferred
8. KENMYRA – Has produced five uninspiring runs to date and isn’t one to have a lot of confidence
in. Would be a surprise winner
9. HEY CHARLIE – Nine start maiden that was well held when finishing 4th last time out and would
need others to flop their lines in order to be competitive. Easy to pass by
10. LADIVA – Ran 4th over 2300m last time out and could be inconvenienced by the drop in
distance. Easy to look elsewhere
11. RECOLEROS – Fifteen start maiden that drops in trip which shouldn’t be too much off an issue
but needs to do more to win. Others preferred
12. FASHIONED GIRL – Finished 3rd over track/trip two starts back and despite a poor latest effort,
she could outrun her odds. Dark horse
13. CAPRICE A DEUX – Six efforts to date, all of which have been poor and drops further in trip
which is hard to assess given she hasn’t been totally effective over any trip. Huge improvement
needed
Summary : ZIBULON (4) has shown to have a liking for this track and could make good
improvement to challenge strongly. SAMBA (2) won an encouraging race last time out and should
have more to offer. SERENADE (5) remains with scope for improvement and needs to be included
in everything. SUGERTIME (3) could be one for the back end of placings.

R4 – PRIX DU PRESIDENT GERARD COIFFARD – 2950m (a1 13/16m) – TURF – Handicap – Flat – EUR € 14.000
1. MONTE CINTO – Has been earning throughout the year and could enjoy running at this venue
so is one that is worth a mention. Could get involved
2. KIROZ – Facile winner of his last start over 2850m and should have no issues going over slightly
further. Big runner
3. GOOD DES LANDES – This filly hasn’t proven that she is a genuine stayer just yet and on current
form there isn’t a lot that would persuade us in her direction. More to do
4. LADY STRAIGHT – This filly won impressively two starts back and was fairly close up last time
out when finishing 5th. Should go well
5. MOONRISE SHADOW – Recent performances don’t inspire a lot of confidence and it is hard to
see him having much impact in this race. Would be a shock winner
6. STYRKA – Eight start maiden that has put in two moderate efforts in recent starts and would
need to do a great deal more. Others inspire more confidence
7. PRINCESS POLLY – Last start on the flat came late last year when finishing in 3rd position over
2650m and would be a fairly fit horse returning from chasing races. Outside place chance
8. SPIRIT OF DANCE – Inconsistent gelding that would need to do more on overall form to have a
winning chance. One to pass by
9. ESPOIR LONGUEEN – Thirteen start maiden that has finished closer to last than first in his last
two attempts and needs a complete transformation. Would be a shock winner
10. FAN ZONE – Not the most consistent type around but always does enough to warrant respect
especially over these trips. Place chance
11. FRENCH DIVA – This filly arrives in very poor form and there isn’t much to fancy about her
chances over this trip. Unlikely winner
12. ROUGE A SANG – Arrives in moderate form and it’s hard to have any confidence in him getting
involved in proceedings. Difficult to fancy
13. FIVE BY FIVE – This gelding has gone three years without a win and current form doesn’t
suggest that it can change anytime soon. Easy to look elsewhere
Summary : KIROZ (2) romped home to victory at his last start and if in the same heart, he could
put his opponents to the sword once again. MONTE CINTO (1) has got his stable companion to
beat but can earn. LADY STRAIGHT (4) has good form to her name and should be a serious threat
to the top two. FAN ZONE (10) has proven her stamina and could get involved for a minor position.

R5 – PRIX DU CHATEAU DE CREVECOEUR – 1900m (a1 3/16m) – ALL WEATHER – A RECLAMER – Flat – EUR € 24.000
1. GOLDEN GLOBE – Intello colt from the stable of Alessandro & Giuseppe Botti with Giovanni
Sias engaged to ride. Rider’s 3,5kg allowance is a huge help
2. CALON LAN – Revealed sufficient means in each of his three starts in the South West, finishing
4th on debut and 3rd in consecutive outings. Not taken lightly
3. EVERSTAR – Consistent for the most part with sound form references. Will have a leading role
to play at this level
4. HASHTAG JOA – Has remained consistent after her debut win and has held her own in stronger
races/company than this including a recent 3rd in the handicaps. One to beat
5. GRAND GIOMAR KODI – Unreliable but not incapable of getting into the picture judged on her
best references. Hard to trust but is as hard to rule out
6. LOST IN MUSIC – Improving sort who has won back-to-back outings in this grade. Ought to
continue his momentum but faces tougher opposition here
7. COLT PILOT – Progressing with each start. Confirmed the improvement of her previous outing
(6th) by finishing 5th last time but will need to eke out more to have a say here
8. ELASTIC HEART – Has improved with each outing and, after finishing 5th last time, could get
into the picture here. Place chance
9. FLY FALCON FLY – Has nothing noteworthy to her name to warrant any consideration and is,
in fact, hard to make a case for
Summary : HASHTAG JOA (4) has maintained a good level of form and consistency at a higher
level after her winning debut and, in so doing, revealed enough quality to make a winning start in
the claiming division. EVERSTAR (3) has held his own in stronger races too, so ought to be
competitive for the leading positions. LOST IN MUSIC (6), undefeated in two starts at this level, is
also capable of fighting for victory. CALON LAN (2) ran well enough in three outings in the SouthWest to also warrant a mention but has only a place chance.

R6 – PRIX DU CHATEAU DE BLANC-BUISSON – 2500m (a1 9/16m) – ALL WEATHER – Class – Flat – EUR € 19.000
1. IDEAL KING – Inconsistent and hasn’t been seen since July but has serious references on this
surface and will benefit from Delphine Santiago’s 1,5kg allowance. Big runner
2. LORENZO DE MEDICI – Has struggled to make an impression in stronger races recently but will
prove a different proposition in this grade. Keep safe
3. JAAFAR – Unreliable and costly to follow recently but is well placed here with Dorian Provost’s
2,5kg allowance. Winning chance back on his preferred surface
4. STRONGER TOGETHER – Struggling to regain any form or spark the improvement needed to
be competitive here, so unlikely to trouble the judge
5. IDEM DES ONGRAIS – Won a steeplechase race three starts back and, as she is most effective
over obstacles, is probably here only for conditioning purposes. Overlook
6. BADEN ROCKS – Unreliable but not incapable of getting into the picture judged on his best
references. Hard to trust but is as hard to rule out
7. HAVOC – Struggling to regain form or maintain any consistency but does have the means to get
into the picture in a race of this nature
8. INTERSTELLA – Showed signs of improvement last time and could get a look in here if building
on that progress. Place chance
Summary : JAAFAR (3) has been frustrating/costly to follow in his last three starts but, back on his
preferred surface, looks good value here to repay the faith of his supporters by recapturing the
winning thread. He gets the nod ahead of returning IDEAL KING (1), absent since 10 July but
proven on this surface, and LORENZO DE MEDICI (2) whose recent form figures do not reflect his
capabilities. BADEN ROCKS (6) continues to disappoint but will make his presence play if
rediscovering his best form.

R7 – PRIX DE SAINT-CENERI-LE-GEREI – 1400m (a7f) – ALL WEATHER – Divised Handicap – Flat – EUR € 53.000
1. SHINNING OCEAN – Consistent sort who again acquitted himself well last time from an
unfavourable (No 16) starting stall. Drawn wide again here but should make his presence felt
2. ZOOM – Well-bred colt who showed abundant promise as a two-year-old but has flattered to
deceive this year, despite finishing 4th in a Listed race back in July. Could do better on this surface
and now in a handicap
3. HOT SPOT – Gutsy winner of a recent conditions race and lines up here in full possession of his
means. Appreciates fibresand but has little margin off his current mark – outsider
4. DEEP HOPE – Did not go unnoticed when finishing 10th in a Quinte+ on the turf two starts back
and is a lot better than his last start suggests. Worth another chance back on a surface he
particularly appreciates
5. TAIRANN – Was not disgraced in the Grand Handicap des Flyers (9th) and confirmed that form
by finishing 2nd just a few days later on PSF. Competitive at this handicap value 41 so warrants
the utmost respect
6. BULLACE – Has performed impeccably since joining the Lerner’s stable and was not winning
out of turn last time at ParisLongchamp. Finished 2nd in a Quinte+ in his only start on Deauville’s
PSF, so can’t be taken lightly
7. PTIT PEDRO – Has maintained a good level of form and consistency with blinkers fitted on and
ought to improve with the benefit of a pleasing (5th) comeback outing. Has won at this venue and
has sound claims here
8. TORPEN – Has been disappointing since his Grand Handicap des Sprinters success but is
gradually regaining a competitive handicap value. Capable on the PSF but needs to spark
improvement – just watch for now
9. SZAFRAN – Former Jean-Claude Rouget inmate who has changed trainers twice since August.
Seldom disappoints on the PSF is probably too high at this handicap value to be competitive
10. ASHIKTASH – Has won two handicaps since joining Yoann Bonnefoy’s stable but must prove
himself at this handicap value and is probably better on turf. Others preferred
11. INNOVATOR – Up 4,5kg for winning easily back in August but showed his limits when only 11th
at ParisLongchamp in his last start. Most effective on this surface but probably too high at this value
to have a say here
12. CAMELOT SONG – Showed her form and well-being by winning a conditions race at Cholet
last time, but her only start off this mark ended in failure. Others make more appeal
13. MAAYAFUSHI – Was not disgraced last time, despite finishing 8th, and probably should have
achieved a better result. Lacks references on this surface but is ideally suited to the 1400m distance
– has upset potential
14. HOLLYHOCK – Runner-up in a Quinté+ event on 7 September when equipped with Australian
blinkers but has been disappointing in both starts since. Remains capable at this level though, so
cannot be discounted 15. CENTRAL PARK WEST – Honest performer who is seldom far off the mark and he boasts
serious references on this surface. Has won over this distance and is likely to get the pace in this
race which serves his interests. Dark horse
16. TOIJK – Finished 5th in a Quinté+ at this venue on 1 August and is capable of a lot better than
his last two starts (unplaced in both) suggest. Thrives on this surface and is competitive at this
value, so can have a say
Summary : DEEP HOPE (4) caught the in his penultimate outing and shaped as one to be with
next time, but let the side down by only managing to finish 12th in the Grand Handicap des Flyers
when very popular in the market. It could, however, pay to give him another chance here back on
his preferred surface with Théo Bachelot aboard and a handicap value reduced by 1kg. Well-bred
ZOOM (2) returned to form recently and should, with a repeat of that performance, acquit himself
competitively on his handicap debut. He ought to play a leading role and so too should last-start
winner BULLACE (6), who is capable of defying the 2,5kg penalty by fighting for victory once more.
TAIRANN (5), runner-up in her most recent outing, PTIT PEDRO (7), who should have more to
give after a much-needed but pleasing comeback run (5th), as well as consistent SHINNING
OCEAN (1) all have the means to play a role in the finish and ought to be competitive for the places.
HOLLYHOCK (14) and CENTRAL PARK WEST (15) could get into the picture under light weights,
so are others to consider.
