France Form Sheet – 10th November
Race Preview
R1 – PRIX D’ISSY-LES-MOULINEAUX – 2000m (a1 1/4m) – TURF – Class – Flat – EUR € 19.000
1. KINGDOM – Unreliable but not incapable of getting into the picture judged on his best references.
Hard to trust but is as hard to rule out
2. FELIPPO – Lines up here in very good form and is proven on very soft tracks. Has sufficient
means to fight for victory
3. ROYAL RIGHT – Hard-knocking sort who boasts the highest value/rating of the runners in this
race. Has regained freshness so could well resurface in a race of this nature
4. HOOTTON – Usually performs well on heavy ground and has regained momentum recently.
Finished 3rd in his last start and will be a factor again
5. SHAMSABAD – Thrives on this Saint-Cloud layout and will be a force to be reckoned with in this
grade having held his own in the Quinte+ category. One to beat
6. WILDFANG – 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. LUNA THE GREAT – Has looked distinctly ordinary for some time now, so his chances are
limited even at this level. Ignore
8. TWILIGHT – Seldom finishes far off the mark and could get into the picture here but has no more
than a place chance
Summary : SHAMSABAD (5) recently ran well in a Quinté race and will find this a considerably
easier task returning to his favorite Saint-Cloud playground. He gets the nod ahead of FELIPPO
(2), a German colt in very good shape, and HOOTTON (4) who is very comfortable/effective on
heavy ground. ROYAL RIGHT (3) is the best value (highest-rated) runner of those engaged in this
race so cannot be discounted, though his recent form leaves a lot to be desired.
SELECTIONS
SHAMSABAD (5) – FELIPPO (2) – HOOTTON (4) – ROYAL RIGHT (3)
R2 – PRIX MAURICE LARRAUN – 1400m (a7f) – TURF – A RECLAMER – Flat – EUR € 19.000
1. LEPANTO – This colt must be worth a lot more than these first two outings indicate. Mistrust.
2. STORMYGO – He hasn’t been running badly recently on the sand of Chantilly, in a better
composed field. If he adapts to the heavy terrain, he could get into the action at the finish.
3. MOZAFAKA – Has had one start over 1800m and placed fifth in that start. Has scope for
improvement
4. ALNOORY STAR – Changed of trainer from UK. Has been thereabouts and change of scenery
might do the trick
5. ROCKSTAR MARTINI – His German lines are very solid and give him a theoretical first chance.
Let’s forget his recent failure in Strasbourg, over a distance that was perhaps too long.
6. ESTRY – Has reasonable form and if putting best foot forward can get into the action here
7. VODNIKOV – Yet to place after three attempts and needs to improve before selecting
8. IHOA – Did place second at this track four runs back and a repeat of that effort could see her
make the frame
9. GOGOGADGET – It is relatively regular and indifferent to the state of the ground. More for the
places.
10. FAST FLOWING – Fairly impeccable since its debut, it seems indifferent to the field and has
just performed well in this category. Chance.
11. ROSA TREZY – Comfortable in deep terrain and left rope, it should take advantage of its small
weight to get into the action at the finish.
Summary : If judged on his best German references, and not his recent failure at Strasbourg
(where he probably didn’t see out the trip), ROCKSTAR MARTINI (5) is undeniably capable of
bouncing back to win a race of this nature. STORMYGO (2), who is taking part in his first race at
this level, and ROSA TREZY (11), back at a left-hand track and on ground (soft) that serves her
interests, have the means to pose a threat and are likely to play leading roles. FAST FLOWING
(10) and LEPANTO (1) appeal most of the remainder.
SELECTIONS
ROCKSTAR MARTINI (5) – STORMYGO (2) – ROSA TREZY (11) – FAST FLOWING (10)
R3 – PRIX BANKSEE – 1500m (a7 1/2f) – TURF – Condition Race – Flat – EUR € 20.000
1. GOLDFIELD – A two year old filly by Supplicant out of Indiana Blues who makes her debut here.
Watch betting
2. ON Y CROIT – He was the subject of some good noise for his debut. Can be wiser in second
attempt and go close
3. AGUALETO – He narrowly failed at Deauville, in a field that looked great. Should be a big runner
here
4. WHAT ELSE – Yet to place in two attempts, needs improvement to be shown before can be
considered
5. PAMELA BOUM – A 2 year old filly by Recoletos out of Impatiente who makes her debut.
6. SPRING HEART – His second place behind Best Of Light (38 value), during his first steps, gives
him a good theoretical chance.
7. SUMMER FLIRT – Debut at Compiegne placed sixth and is open to improvement here
8. NINI STAR – She behaved really well on two occasions in groups that were certainly better
composed. Can improve further
9. STARLIGHT – Placed sixth in debut and can improve on that effort second time at the races
10. BEST LOOKING – Constant in her effort, she could have made progress since her last outing.
Outsider.
11. LIBRO D’ORO – A 2 year old gelding by Dariyan out of La Contessa who makes his debut and
betting is best guide
12. GLORY WOOD – A 2 year old gelding by Birchwood out of Lala Dance who makes his debut.
Watch betting
13. BAILEYS JAZZ – Well born, she can hope to get off to a good start, especially since her trainer
is in good shape. Why not.
Summary : AGUALETO (3) only narrowly missed out on debut in a maiden at Deauville and is
likely to open his account if making any improvement. ON Y CROIT (2) finished 3rd on his
introduction and needn’t make much progress to also fight for victory. NINI STAR (8) showed
enough in her two appearances (6th on occasions) in quality fields to suggest that she will also be
competitive in this grade/company. SPRING HEART (6), after an encouraging 2nd in the Pin au
Haras, also has claims.
SELECTIONS
AGUALETO (3) – ON Y CROIT (2) – NINI STAR (8) – SPRING HEART (6)
R4 – PRIX DU MESNIL-VILLEMENT – 1500m (a7 1/2f) – TURF – Divised Handicap – Flat – EUR € 21.000
1. DOUBLE EFFECT – Runner-up on handicap debut which was over this distance. Returns from
a break but can go one better
2. TRIPLE TROUBLE – Ran well when third on handicap debut which was over this distance. Has
more to offer and should fight out the finish
3. SHAMYA – Three poor performances to start her career but bounced back win a nice win in her
fourth start. Can upset
4. OCTOBER CHOPE – Constant in her effort, she adapts to everything and can position herself at
the end of a favorable race.
5. MALLORCA SUN – Yet to win a race but did run well in some recent claimers. Can contest the
finish
6. CRACK CITY – Two disappointing runs since winning a handicap over this distance. Capable of
doing better but is probably best watched this time
7. INARO – Modest in three starts on the turf and was no better when trying a handicap on the PSF.
Best watched this time
8. BELLONE – Disappointing two runs in handicaps but had run some fair races before that and is
capable of running well
9. LUCAN FAST – Has not shown much in her four starts so far but makes her handicap debut so
improvement is possible
10. WHATEVER IT COSTS – Yet to win a race and has struggled in some claimers of late. Has
also struggled in handicaps. Others are much preferred
11. LONG STORY SHORT – Has yet to win a race but was fourth in a claimer last time out. Probably
prefers the PSF and others are preferred
Summary : DOUBLE EFFECT (1) showed good improvement when runner-up in a handicap in
August and can go one better this time returning from a break. TRIPLE TROUBLE (2) showed
promise on handicap debut and could be the biggest threat. BELLONE (8) seems better than some
recent handicap performances. MALLORCA SUN (5) has yet to win arace but can contest the
finish.

R5 – PRIX DU HARAS D’OUILLY – 1500m (a7 1/2f) – TURF – Divised Handicap – Flat – EUR € 25.000
1. SHORT FINAL – Extremely consistent and looks well placed in weight at this value for his debut
in handicaps. Has a winning chance
2. FIRST PAGE – Struggling to regain any form or spark the improvement needed to be competitive
here, so unlikely to trouble the judge
3. MEHRABAH – Consistent sort with sound form references. Has shown enough to warrant
respect in a race of this nature
4. MY EMOTION – Consistent filly who has finished as the runner-up in three of her last five starts.
Deserves a victory in this category
5. TIBERIA – Seldom finishes far off the mark and could get into the picture here but has no more
than a place chance
6. HORTENSIA BASC – Comfortable on soft ground and boasts sound references in conditions
races. Ought to have a say on her handicap debut
7. NO LIMIT DREAM – Finished ahead of MY EMOTION (4) when winning last time, Confirmed on
soft ground and is likely to remain competitive despite a penalty
8. CITY OF HOPE – Hails from a stable in good form and has also shown an aptitude for very soft,
even heavy ground. Dark horse
9. DEEP PURPLE STEEL – Performed well during the autumn of 2022, particularly on heavy
ground. Has had two comeback runs so should have more to offer now
10. BUTTE ROUGE – Has performed rather poorly in a number of successive outings, so her
chances are limited even at this level. Ignore
11. ROYALTIES – Struggling to regain any form or spark the improvement needed to be competitive
here, so unlikely to trouble the judge
Summary : SHORT FINAL (1) is consistent and should be winning sooner rather than later. He
seems well placed in weight for his handicap debut here, so is taken to emerge victorious.
HORTENSIA BASC (6), who is also debuting in handicaps at a favorable value, is another
candidate for success. As is consistent MY EMOTION (4) who wouldn’t be winning out of turn
having finished 2nd in three of her last five starts. Last-start winner NO LIMIT DREAM (7) is capable
of staking a claim too, despite carrying a penalty.
SELECTIONS
SHORT FINAL (1) – HORTENSIA BASC (6) – MY EMOTION (4) – NO LIMIT DREAM (7)
R6 – PRIX DE LA FRETTE – 1200m (a6f) – TURF – Handicap – Flat – EUR € 22.000
1. CHILLI PRINCESS – In great shape, she deserves to return to victory. Runner-up in two
handicaps leading into this and can go one better
2. ASTRACHEM – In great shape and on an ideal course for his abilities, this resident of the
euphoric Cottier stable should make a bold bid
3. COOLMEEN ROYAL – Won twice in March around this distance but has struggled of late. Best
watched this time
4. MINO PICO – This 1200m course with turning point should suit him perfectly. Yet to win but is
consistent and can contest the finish
5. SHINE ON ME – Yet to win a race and has only been fair in handicaps of late. Might play a minor
role
6. BARDO – Has struck form with two nice wins of late. Drops in distance but is clearly not out of it
7. WHY CHOPE – Clearly unreliable and has struggled in three starts since winning a handicap.
Others are preferred
8. TARAMANA – More than a year since only win which was a handicap. That was off a higher
mark than currently is. Can upset
9. TWIN BOY – Disappointing last two runs. Has been winning over further but could like the drop
in distance. Can upset
10. BEYOND MY DREAMS – Unreliable but did win a handicap over this distance last time out.
Tougher task this time but could earn some money
11. LOVE AFFAIR – Both wins were on the PSF in February. Fair last two runs and could finish in
the money again
12. SWEET DAMIANA – In great shape, she has just finished very well at Croisé-Laroche. Course
suited and can contest the finish
13. PRIMO VIOLINO – Only win was on the PSF last year. Fair fifth last time out but more is needed
to win this race
14. ASTURIAS ROAD – On a very long losing run but has been runner-up numerous times in
handicaps. Has a winning chance
15. AMERICAN DAISY – Has struggled in three starts since winning a handicap. Drops in distance
but is probably best watched this time
16. MEHANYDREAM – Non Partant
17. TENORIO – Won a handicap over this distance in May but has really struggled since then.
Others are preferred
18. KOREM – Has yet to win a race. Fair fourth in his penultimate start but that was on the PSF.
Others preferred this time
Summary : ASTRACHEM (2) has just shown its form in Marseille and is clearly capable of doing
even better this time. CHILLI PRINCESS (1), is in good form and will be a threat again. MINO
PICO (4) is threatening to win and is clearly not out of it and finally BARDO (6), is looking to
complete a hat-trick after some nice wins and deserves respect as well.

ASTRACHEM (2) – CHILLI PRINCESS (1) – MINO PICO (4) – BARDO (6)
R7 – PRIX DE SAINT-HONORAT – 2000m (a1 1/4m) – TURF – Divised Handicap – Flat – EUR € 21.000
1. BARC – Competitive and ideally committed under these conditions, so likely to play a leading
role. Will be a factor
2. SPATIAL MERIT – Last-start winner who lines up here in good form and physical condition.
Should have a say again with the benefit of her rider’s 1,5kg allowance
3. JOLIEPIERRE – Has regained momentum, finishing 3rd and 4th recently in her last two starts.
Should make her presence felt from gate No 1
4. FLAMBOYANTE – Thrives on this Saint-Cloud layout and runs well on heavy ground. Has strong
claims for a spot on the podium, could even win
5. AKHATIYI – 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. KARKHOV – Struggling to regain any form or show signs of improvement needed to be
competitive here, so unlikely to trouble the judge
7. DAISY SENORA – Has nothing done noteworthy her for a considerable period to warrant any
consideration here, so can be ruled out. Overlook
8. BLACK MORNING – Last-start winner who lines up here in good form and physical condition.
Will remain competitive for the leading places
9. JACQUES COEUR – Seldom finishes far off the mark so could get into the picture here but has
no more than a place chance
10. AQUITAINE – Unreliable but not incapable of getting into the picture judged on her best
references. Hard to trust but is as hard to rule out
11. MANDLEFT – Struggling to regain any form or show signs of improvement needed to be
competitive here, so unlikely to trouble the judge
12. AGDUNE – Confirmed the form of her previous start (win) with a good 2nd last time but needs
to build on that to be competitive here
13. NIPPER – Has tumbled down the ratings/weight scale and, sooner or later, is likely to resurface,
especially in a race of this nature on heavy ground he enjoys
14. ASPHODELE MIA – Rewarded for consistency with a last-start success but has a lot more to
do in this grade/company. Watch for now
15. AMARHALEN – Last-start winner not incapable of playing a role again with just 53,5kg on the
back. For lovers of the outsiders
16. ASLAN SENORA – Struggling to regain any form or show signs of improvement needed to be
competitive here, so unlikely to trouble the judge
17. PRINCEDESCHAMPS – Runner-up recently for the second time in his last three starts. Drawn
wide but ought to have a say under a light weight
18. ANTAIOS – Finished a reassuring 2nd in his last start so could be competitive if confirming that
improvement. Beware
Summary : BARC (1) acquitted himself very well in a similar contest last time and should remain
competitive with the benefit of his rider’s 3,5kg allowance, so gets the nod here aheahe d of
consistent FLAMBOYANTE (4) who has an affinity for this track. Last-start winner BLACK
MORNING (8) and PRINCEDESCHAMPS (17), who has been 2nd in two of her last three starts,
are also competitive for the leading places. JOLIEPIERRE (3) and NIPPER (13) complete the
shortlist.

R8 – PRIX D’ABLIS – 2000m (a1 1/4m) – TURF – Divised Handicap – Flat – EUR € 23.000
1. MORSAN – Consistent performer with sound references on heavy ground. Has been in good
form recently and is likely to remain so here
2. FULL FLOW – Ultra-consistent mare effective on any ground with sound form references at this
level. Potential winner
3. STORMY NIGHT – Inconsistent but has proven her competitiveness in handicaps and will
appreciate the conditions. Winning chance
4. EAGLEHAWK – Has regained momentum recently, finishing an improved 4th last time out. More
than capable of staking a claim here
5. INSIGNIA OF RANK – Struggling to regain any form or spark the improvement needed to be
competitive here, so is not likely to trouble the judge
6. HENOUVILLE – Competitive at this handicap value and has finished 3rd in consecutive outings
recently. Will be a factor
7. TRABUCO – Made a pleasing return to action at Clairefontaine and is returning to a track on
which he started victoriously on heavy ground. Keep safe
8. TAHLA – Seldom finishes far off the mark and could well get into the picture here, though has
no more than a place chance
9. GREEN SPIRIT – Unreliable but not incapable of getting into the picture judged on her best
references. Hard to trust but is as hard to rule out
10. RED GRACE – Struggling to regain any form or spark the improvement needed to be
competitive here, so is not likely to trouble the judge
11. LE SICILIEN – Lines up here in very good form, having finished among rivals rated higher than
anything he faces here. Candidate for success
12. KARAK – Has been significantly dropped in the weights following two unplaced efforts after a
lengthy layoff and is likely to revel in the deep/heavy ground he encounters here, so could well
resurface
13. BONNIE HOPPS – Has won consecutive handicaps over 2200m recently but has gone up 4kg
as a result, so may find it difficult to remain competitive
14. WALDKAUZ – Unreliable but not incapable of getting into the picture judged on her best
references. Hard to trust but is as hard to rule out
15. ICATU – Struggling to regain any form or spark the improvement needed to be competitive here,
so is not likely to trouble the judge
16. ORANGE VIF – Seldom finishes far off the mark and could get into the picture here but has no
more than a place chance
17. KARIOITAHI – Confirmed the improvement of her previous outing (2nd) by winning last time
but has less margin at this handicap value. Outsider 18. DARLYVI – Consistent for the most part and has remained competitive in the three outings
since her victory 4 starts back. Place chance
Summary : STORMY NIGHT (3) looks well treated by these conditions and retains the means
necessary to resume winning ways, with Mickaël Barzalona engaged to assist from the widest
stall. LE SICILIEN (11), whose recent 3rd at Lignières proves his competitiveness at this value,
TRABUCO (7), after an excellent comeback following a long absence, as well as the consistent
FULL FLOW (2), versatile and effective on any ground, are other priority choices likely to fight for
victory.
