France Form Sheet – 19th November
Race Preview
R1 – PRIX JEAN-LUC KIRCHHOFF – 1900m (a1 3/16m) – TURF – Condition Race – Class 2 – Flat – EUR € 27.000
1. SOMKIYR – Finished third on debut, then won well over 1900m at this track and can follow up.
Clearly talented and is the one to beat
2. HAVRAS – Won on the 24th of October over 1950m at Le Mans and could end up being
absolutely anything. Bright win chance again
3. POLANZOR – Won cozily on debut at this circuit over 1900m late last month and can follow up.
Strong chance
4. BLOU LAGOON – Has raced once, won once over 1900m last month, at this circuit and can
remain unbeaten after this. Can win
5. PORT GALLAND – Has yet to win, lightly raced, finished fourth last time at Pau over 1600m.
Strong place chance
6. MANLY – Will need to improve a lot to win this but can build on latest fourth place over 1900m
at this course. Outside place chance at best
Summary : SOMKIYR (1) races for the Aga Khan and seems very talented. He won, at this course,
at only the second time of asking and can be followed with confidence. HAVRAS (2) is another that
scored at the second time of asking and must be taken seriously. He could be absolutely anything.
BLOU LAGOON (4) comes into this race boasting a 100% strike rate and could well remain
unbeaten after this. POLANZOR (3) made an impressive winning debut and is a must for all bets
in a hard race.
SELECTIONS
SOMKIYR (1) – HAVRAS (2) – BLOU LAGOON (4) – POLANZOR (3)
R2 – PRIX DU CHATEAU GRANDIS – 1900m (a1 3/16m) – TURF – Handicap – Flat – EUR € 20.000
1. THE TOP GATSBY – Has very solid form, clearly full of potential and finished third over 2400m
last time. She has already won twice and is selected to win again
2. LIMESY – Can build on recent fourth over 2000m at Pau. Strong place chance
3. SERIE – Won encouragingly over 1950m at Parislongchamp on the 21st of October and has a
bright chance of following up. Go close
4. MAIMOUNA – Will need to build on local seventh over 1600m at Toulouse. Prefer others and
can be passed by for today
5. OLYMPIADE – Won at Chantilly over 1900m on the 11th on November and must be respected
and included in all bets. Strong each way chance
6. ROATAN – Was a winner at his last start over 1650m at Machecoul. A must for the shortlist.
Strong each way chance
7. GLORIETTE SAN – Running well, finished second in her last two starts and can go one better.
Last run was at Pau over 2400m. Serious contender
8. RUE DE BRAQUE – Won well over 2000m at Durtal and could go on to bigger and better things.
Good chance
9. MANAKEL – Has a few lengths to find on current form but could lurk into the back end of the
quartet. Outsider with a small chance
10. WEDDING WILD – Needs to improve on form seen thus far and would be a surprise winner.
Happy to ignore
Summary : THE TOP GATSBY (1) is lightly raced, boasts solid form and is an exciting proposition
for the future. They might have to go some to beat this son of The Grey Gatsby. SERIE (3) recorded
her maiden win last time at Parislongchamp and can follow up. OLYMPIADE (5) caught the eye
when winning over 1900m and can provide plenty cheek. RUE DE BRAQUE (8) is a must for all
bets.
SELECTIONS
THE TOP GATSBY (1) – SERIE (3) – OLYMPIADE (5) – RUE DE BRAQUE (8)
R3 – PRIX GUY CHANCELIER – 2400m (a1 1/2m) – TURF – Handicap – Class 4 – Flat – EUR € 14.000
1. HARIASA – Has been on the decline for sometime and would be a shock winner. Other should
be way stronger. Pass by
2. ASSIER – Ignore last run when twelfth and could place based on penultimate third over 2000m
at Toulouse. Much prefer others
3. MONJARAZ – Ran an absolute cracker last time when finishing second over 2400m at Toulouse.
Can go on better and is a must for all bets. Good chance
4. CLEVER ACTRESS – Is running well and can go one better on most recent second over 2400m
at this track. Has a bright winning chance
5. JACK’S SON – Has finished third in his last three races and can get much closer now. Good
each way chance
6. CAMARINES – Won well over 2400m at Toulouse earlier this month and has a serious chance
again. Big runner
7. DALHIANA – Managed a fourth last time but a lot more required to feature here and can therefore
be passed by
8. OLYMPE TEA – Taking a long time to get it all right for the maiden win and would be a surprise
winner against these. Hard to fancy and can be ignored
9. AKINATHOR GAME – Much better effort last time when third over 2400m at this venue. Strong
each way claims
10. ZINZICHERA – Is hard to fancy on current form and can be ignored from any bets. Wait for a
form return
11. FARZANEH – Will need to build on dismal local run last time at Toulouse. Might be able to, but
rather wait for improvement before including in any bets
12. TARGUI – Finished fourth three races back over 2300m at Pompadour but has been average
since. Prefer others and is hard to fancy for the win
13. DREAM WORD – Has been on the decline for sometime now and would be a surprise winner.
Happy to ignore
14. TRES RUSH – Knocking at the door and is a serious contender. Finished second at Nantes
most recently. Big runner
15. TREMONT – Has a very low rating and is slightly off the boil currently. Is an outsider that has it
all to do for the win
Summary : CLEVER ACTRESS (4) is in mustard form at the moment and threatening to notch up
another career victory. Today looks to be the day that she can get it all right again. AKINATHOR
GAME (9) ran a much better race last time and simply based on that encouraging run, can finish in
the money again. Strong place chance. CAMARINES (6) won well last time and if following up, it
would be no surprise at all and MONJARAZ (3) has to be respected and included for most bets.

CLEVER ACTRESS (4) – AKINATHOR GAME (9) – CAMARINES (6) – MONJARAZ (3)
R4 – PRIX DES GRANDS CRUS – 1200m (a6f) – TURF – Handicap – Class 4 – Flat – EUR € 14.000
1. SWEET DAMIANA – Solid form, won well last time over 1200m at Saint-Cloud and is confidently
selected to follow up. Win
2. HAPPY DREAM – Never too far adrift the winners but far prefer others for the win. An outsider
with a very small place chance
3. MARVELOUS CAPRICE – Needs to build on current form but has shown capabilities before.
One for the shortlist
4. BEYOND MY DREAMS – Ignore last run, won penultimate against weaker and is hard to assess.
Might be worth including in the back end of the quartet but prefer others
5. FORCE CAT – Running well, finished fourth most recently over 1200m and is a huge runner
again. Each way chance
6. O GRE DES SAISONS – Ignore last run when sixth, ran a cracker when second at Pau over
1400m. Good chance
7. JASMIN DORE – Was a winner five races back but has been on the decline since which makes
him hard to fancy. Pass by
8. IDAHO JAMES – Is never too far off the action but needs to find a few lengths to threaten here.
Happy to ignore
9. SHAMASUN – Ignore last shocking run, finished third over 1200m at Nimes before that and can
make her presence felt. Each way shout
10. PEDRO DES AIGLES – Won four starts back over 1600m at Pompadour but has been
disappointing since. Hard to fancy and can be ignored
11. STAR LUCE – Was a winner at the penultimate and can build on recent third over 1700m at
Saint-Brieuc. Serious contender for top position
Summary : SWEET DAMIANA (1) has solid overall form and won well last time. She sprints well
and is selected to follow up. FORCE CAT (5) is taking time to win again but has consistent place
form and again should be involved in the finish. O GRES DES SAISONS (6) is a tad erratic but on
very best form shown, can win a race like this. Serious contender. STAR LUCE (11) has each way
claims.
