France Form Sheet – 24th November

Race Preview

R1 – PRIX DE PARISLONGCHAMP – 2000m (a1 1/4m) – TURF – Condition Race – Flat – EUR € 22.000

1. ZVIKOV – Last start winner over 2000m in a Class 3 event and could make fair improvement
meeting a rise in class. Place chance
2. LE SAGE – Runner up in his last three outings and will be hoping for a change of fortune this
time out. Should run a big race
3. NEW RULER – Winner over track/trip two starts back and followed that up with a solid 3rd placed
effort which saw him 2L behind Le Sage but he is taken to reverse that. Go close
4. SPLENDINO – This colt arrives in solid form and reverts back to the 2000m trip which shouldn’t
be an issue and he is a two time winner. Should fight out the finish
5. VERITABLE – Finished 2nd over 2000m last time out but it was against a lot weaker company
and will need to up his game to pose a threat. More needed
6. WUKHANN – Finish 2nd over 2400m last time out and it seems as if he is looking for that distance
so the drop in trip may not be ideal. Outside place chance
7. BELLE ANSE – Well held back in 3rd position last time out over 2000m and would need to bring
more to the table in order to challenge. Others preferred

Summary : NEW RULER (3) is open to significant improvement and back on a favorable surface
should be enough to see him turn the form around with his stable companion. LE SAGE (2) has
the number of his stable companion on their last meeting and will be hoping to get it right here.
SPLENDINO (4) looks to be a solid third string to the bow from the yard and should make his
presence felt. ZVIKOV (1) should be competitive.

SELECTIONS
NEW RULER (3) – LE SAGE (2) – SPLENDINO (4) – ZVIKOV (1)

R2 – PRIX DE JUZIERS – 2400m (a1 1/2m) – TURF – Handicap – Flat – EUR € 13.000

1. HAPPY CHRISNAT – Returning from a year’s absence but does enjoy racing on heavy ground
and faces opposition he is more than capable of beating, judged on his best references. Keep safe
2. LIFE’S A BREEZE – Has blown hot and cold recently, though did acquit himself competitively
(3rd) under Delphine Santiago last time. Will be a factor
3. L’INDOMPTABLE – Consistent for the most part and has already proven her effectiveness on
heavy ground. Has strong claims at this level
4. LOUNA CHOPE – Has won three times from 11 starts in this category and finished on the podium
in the other eight outings. Must be taken seriously
5. JAZZMAN FLEURY – Limited long-time maiden who finished a career-best 3rd in a minor event
at Beaupréau last time, though most unlikely to break his duck at the 31st attempt
6. NISRY – Has looked rather ordinary in each of three starts this year, so his chances are limited
even at this level. Ignore
7. MOONRISE SHADOW – Struggling to regain any form or spark the improvement needed to be
competitive here, so is not likely to trouble the judge
8. JEVOUSVOISENCORE – Seldom finishes far off the mark and is not incapable of getting into
the picture here but has no more than a place chance
9. PAROVNA – Inconsistent but does boast some useful references on soft tracks, so is dangerous
to discount here. Dark horse
10. ZINZICHERA – Veteran mare struggling to regain her form, finishing unplaced in each of her
last four starts, though ought to fare better in this grade

Summary : L’INDOMPTABLE (3) ran well enough on heavy ground at Clairefontaine over the
summer to suggest that a race of this nature is well within her capabilities so, as the top-rated
runner in the lineup, is the one to beat. LIFE’S A BREEZE (2) has maintained a good level of form
and consistency to pose a threat, which LOUNA CHOPE (4) is also capable of doing back in the
category of her last success. HAPPY CHRISNAT (1) and ZINZICHERA (10) appeal most of the
remainder.

L’INDOMPTABLE (3) – LIFE’S A BREEZE (2) – LOUNA CHOPE (4) – HAPPY CHRISNAT (1)

R3 – PRIX FLORENCE FORNERON – 2000m (a1 1/4m) – TURF – Condition Race – Flat – EUR € 23.000

1. ZASYMOKA – This filly ran a pleasing race on debut against the boys when finishing 2nd and
despite a deep draw she has huge scope for improvement. Should go close
2. RECREATE – Finished 7th on debut and would need to take a significant step forward in order
to mount a challenge. Unlikely winner
3. OVER CHOPE – A filly that is fairly exposed as a maiden and despite showing signs in a couple
runs, she may struggle to win here. Outside place chance at best
4. MAKE A WISH – Finished 2nd and 3rd in her last two efforts which have both come in handicaps
where she has had a weight advantage. Outside place chance
5. MALYA – Finished 3rd last time out over 2000m and could show a bit of improvement on her
efforts to date. Place chance
6. MISS SATIN – Dam was unraced and she is one who could possibly need a run or two before
showing what she is about. One to pass by today
7. LA CARRA – Dam won three times from 1500m – 2000m in a lengthy career and this individual
is likely to need the experience. Others preferred
8. ROSE BAY – Dam was unraced and given that this filly steps out over 2000m, it signals that she
could enjoy a longer trip in time. Follow the market
9. PORTE DU CIEL – Dam won once over 1850m and this filly demands respect for some notable
connections. Follow the market
10. TESUMI – Dam had one run for an unplaced effort. This filly is likely to need a few runs under
the belt before showing signs. Others preferred
11. COUPE D’EUROPE – Dam won six times ranging from 1600m – 2650m and this filly could
develop into a fair sort in time. Follow the market

Summary : ZASYMOKA (1) ran an encouraging race on debut and looks to be one to follow going
forward granted she hits all the right notes in this. PORTE DU CIEL (9) is a newcomer that needs
to be followed carefully. COUPE D’EUROPE (11) hails from a yard that are capable of getting them
ready first time out. MALYA (5) looks to be best of the rest and can earn.

R4 – PRIX PENTHESILEE – IJOCKEY GPA HANDICAP CHALLENGE – 1600m (a1m) – TURF – Handicap – Flat – EUR € 16.000

1. BEACON TOWERS – Rewarded for improved form and consistency with a last-start success but
is unlikely to repeat that feat under a penalty, having never won off a mark as high as her current
rating
2. TOP GLORY – Bounced back to form last time by finishing a reassuring 2nd and will play a
leading role if confirming that improvement
3. LEX LUTHOR – Has performed to a consistent and competitive level of form for some time and
ought to do so again here
4. LE HOULME – Has been regaining his momentum recently, finishing an improved 4th last time.
Not incapable of getting into the picture off his current mark
5. FAR MOUNTAIN EMERY – Unreliable but is seldom far off the mark on a going day. Hard to
trust but not easily ruled out either
6. JOAO – Consistent performer with sound form references, though has more of a place chance
than a winning one
7. MAPLE GIRL – Not far from winning again having finished 2nd in each of her last three outings.
WIll have a role to play
8. AZABA – Has rediscovered her form and consistency lately, finishing 3rd in consecutive outings
recently. Will enjoy the benefit of her rider’s 2kg allowance
9. MOASA – Seldom finishes far off the mark so isn’t entirely incapable of getting into the picture,
though has no more than a place chance
10. GOJI BERRY – Capable veteran who caught the eye with an encouraging comeback run (4th)
last time after a six-month layoff. Will fight for victory with any improvement
11. GOT FROST – Unreliable but seldom finishes far off the mark on a going day. Hard to trust but
is as hard to rule out

Summary : Veteran GOJI BERRY (10) caught the eye last time on his return from a six-month
absence and should have mroe to offer with improved fitness on his side, so is an obvious candidate
for success. He will, however, have to be wary of TOP GLORY (2), who bounced back to form last
time, back in shape, and MAPLE GIRL (7), who is looking for her race diligently. AZABA (8) shows
a certain regularity and will aim for a place on the podium like LEX LUTHOR (3) and LE HOULME
(4).

GOJI BERRY (10) – TOP GLORY (2) – MAPLE GIRL (7) – AZABA (8)

R5 – PRIX JULES MORGAN – 2000m (a1 1/4m) – TURF – Condition Race – Flat – EUR € 23.000

1. SAINT AQUILIN – Runner up in his last two outings and he looks to have found the ideal
opportunity to go one better. One to beat
2. PINEAPPLE EXPRESS – Ran 7th on debut over 1600m and the step up in trip should see this
individual make some progress. More needed to feature
3. ANATOLE – Finished 5th on debut behind, just over a length behind Toyotomi and could show
improvement at the second time of asking.
4. ERABLE – Finished 7th on debut and now has his second start in which he will need to show
something more encouraging. Others inspire more confidence
5. COL DU PRE’ – Finished 6th on debut behind a couple of reopposing types and could be held
but is worth an inclusion for the minor spot. Place chance
6. TREIZE – Showed good improvement when finishing 3rd last time out over 2000m but meets a
stronger field and could have his work cut out. Others preferred
7. TOYOTOMI – Finished 3rd on debut and looks to have more to offer at the second attempt. Keep
an eye on the form line in the previous race. Include in the play
8. DECIDEMENT – Finished 3rd over 1700m last time out and now steps back up in trip for this
outing but will need to show more to win. Place chance
9. LOOMAN PARIS – Won at his second start but has failed to reproduce that form ever since and
seems likely to struggle once again. Unlikely winner
10. LOUIS DE LA KLAUSS – Far from disgraced when finishing 6th in a Listed contest last time
out and the drop in class will be ideal. Strong claims
11. MOUJDAB – There was nothing to take from his debut run and he will need to return as a
sharper individual for this outing. Hard to recommend
12. KING ZARAK – Dam won once over 1800m and isn’t from a yard that are known for readying
them first time out. One to pass by
13. PESTACLE – Dam was a maiden after three starts and this filly could do with a couple of
educational runs before shaping up. Others preferred

Summary : SAINT AQUILIN (1) is knocking on the door and is deserving of a maiden victory which
looks likely in this contest. LOUIS DE LA KLAUSS (10) is down in class and ran a pleasing 2nd
prior to his run in Listed company. TOYOTOMI (7) should have come on with his debut run and will
be on the premises. DECIDEMENT (8) looks a place hope at best.

SELECTIONS
SAINT AQUILIN (1) – LOUIS DE LA KLAUSS (10) – TOYOTOMI (7) – DECIDEMENT (8)

R6 – PRIX DU VIADUC DE SAINT-CLOUD – 1300m (a6 1/2f) – TURF – Divised Handicap – Flat – EUR € 20.000

1. JASMIN DORE – Unreliable although not incapable of getting into the picture judged on his best
references and with his rider Delphine Santiago’s 1,5kg allowance
2. PLANTHALYA – Unreliable but has the means to stake a claim in a race of this nature. Should
not be condemned for her recent failure and is capable of redeeming herself
3. KENDRA – Has nothing noteworthy to her name for a considerable period now so is easily
overlooked. Others are preferred
4. HURRICANE LIGHT – Performed very well when finishing 2nd on this track recently and will be
competitive with a repeat of that performance
5. MAKHZEN – Inconsistent though seldom finishes far off the mark. Could get into the picture but
has no more than a place chance
6. DANCE COLONY – Bounced back to form with an improved 3rd last time at Cavaillon and should
have a role to play here if confirming that improvement with Maxime Guyon in the irons. Keep safe
7. BLOOD CHOPE – Has regained her form recently and is enjoying a good spell. Should make
her presence felt once more
8. MURRAYFIELD – Unreliable but seldom finishes far off the mark on a going day. Hard to trust
but is as hard to rule out
9. ASTURIAS ROAD – Struggling to regain any form or spark the improvement needed to be
competitive here, so unlikely to trouble the judge
10. AMERICAN DAISY – Has looked distinctly ordinary for some time now so her chances here are
limited, even at this level. Overlook
11. TENORIO – Has lost her way and continues to struggle in her bid to regain form or spark any
improvement. Can be ruled out
12. RIVERET – Was a winner three starts back but appeared unable to remain competitive in either
outing since. Best watched for now
13. KOREM – Finished a reassuring 2nd last time under similar conditions over 1200m at this
venue. Should fight for victory if confirming that improvement

Summary : KOREM (13) bounced back to form last time with a reassuring 2nd when reverting to
the turf and dropped back in distance to 1200m under a light weight (51kg) at this venue. On that
evidence, he is good value to confirm that improvement and is worth siding with here with just
51,5kg on his back over an extra 100m. HURRICANE LIGHT (4), who bounced back from his
disappointing previous outing to also finish 2nd last time, remains competitive off his current mark
and is likely to pose a threat. He heads the list of potential dangers that also includes unreliable
PLANTHALYA (2), and DANCE COLONY (6), under Maxime Guyon, as well as resurgent BLOOD
CHOPE (7).

R7 – PRIX DES TURFISTES – 1800m (a1 1/8m) – TURF – Handicap – Flat – EUR € 20.000

1. DIANE’STAR – Her last start is best ignored and judging her off her previous form will see her
run a bold race having beaten the top two choices. Include in all bets
2. BAILEYS ECLAIR – Good winner of his last start and could progress from that effort but doesn’t
seem the type to win two in a row. Place claims
3. HENRY THE LION – Arrives in solid hard knocking form and was narrowly touched off by the
reopposing Smila last time out. Big player
4. ETERNEL – Not in the greatest form at present but is two points below his last winning mark and
could some signs of life over this trip. Improvement needed
5. GRECIAN STAR – Finished a fair 4th last time out over 2150m but now drops back in trip and
meets a stronger line up so will have his work cut out. Others preferred
6. SMILA – Ran a pleasing race out the maidens by finishing 3rd and looks to have more to offer
as she matures. Winning chance
7. HYGROVE MAID – Ran a cracking 2nd last time out and should improve from that run to pose a
threat to this bunch. Each way chance
8. KAPETANIOS – Finished 2nd to the reopposing Baileys Eclair last time out but seems to be
erratic so isn’t the easiest to assess. Place chance at best
9. SPIRIT GREY – Remains a maiden after twenty two starts and is well exposed so will likely
struggle against improving types. Hard to recommend
10. FLORIDA SPRING – Arrives in moderate form and would need to show huge improvement in
order to get a blow in here. Hard to fancy
11. ARCUBIATU – Fifteen start maiden that is battling to put it all together and will have his work
cut out in order to challenge. Others preferred
12. BELLONINO – Ten start maiden that has tried his hand at a different discipline but hasn’t been
able to show much. Would be a shock winner
13. LA SURPRISE – This filly has had six starts in the maiden ranks without showing anything
positive and would need a huge turnaround to be a threat. Would be a shock winner

Summary : SMILA (6) arrives in good form and is coming along the right way so will be one of the
leading contenders. HENRY THE LION (3) is in a good space at present and will be a huge threat
once again. DIANE’STAR (1) is worse off at the weights with the top two but is capable of running
a bold race. BAILEYS ECLAIR (2) will be on the premises once again.

R8 – PRIX DU TUNNEL DE SAINT-CLOUD – 1300m (a6 1/2f) – TURF – Divised Handicap – Flat – EUR € 22.000

1. CRISTAL MARVELOUS – Caught the eye when a reassuring 2nd in her last start and is likely to
fight for victory if confirming that improvement
2. TRUE ROMANCE – Bounced back to form with an improved 2nd in a claiming race last time and
returns to the handicaps now off a mark 2,5kg lower than before
3. ZEYZOUN – Honest veteran, runner-up in three of his last five starts including a recent handicap
at Le Mans. Has to be respected on that form
4. RED TORCH – Has remained consistent despite his old age and boasts sound form references.
Will be competitive for the leading positions
5. LA FLACA – Finished 3rd at Le Mans in this category last time and will now benefit from her
rider’s 1,5kg allowance. Dark horse
6. CHILLI PRINCESS – Resurgent mare with solid form credentials. Was 3rd last time after finishing
2nd in consecutive outings so wouldn’t be winning out of turn
7. COLD PLAY – Unreliable but remains capable of staking a claim in a race of this nature judged
on his best references. Beware
8. TOUR D’ECHELLE – Struggling to regain any form or spark the improvement needed to be
competitive here, so unlikely to trouble the judge
9. PLENTY CITY – Has regained a good level of form recently by finishing 3rd in consecutive starts.
Can make his presence felt
10. BIG FREEZE – Consistent for the most part and has maintained a respectable level of form
recently. Not taken lightly
11. JOJO – Unreliable but not incapable of getting into the picture judged on her best references.
Hard to trust but is as hard to rule out
12. ISEULT – Unreliable but seldom finishes far off the mark on a going day. As hard to trust as
she is to rule out, but is best watched for now
13. PRINCE DES DUNES – Has not finished far off the mark in his last three starts so could get
into the picture here, though has no more than a place chance

Summary : CHILLI PRINCESS (6) has rediscovered her form and consistency recently and should
be winning again sooner rather than later. She gets the nod here ahead of CRISTAL MARVELOUS
(1), who bounced back to form with an improved 2nd last time. Both RED TORCH (4) and
ZEYZOUN (3) are consistent sorts who have proven their competitiveness at this level, so should
make their presence felt. TRUE ROMANCE (2) and LA FLACA (5) complete the shortlist.

R9 – PRIX MARINA JACQUIN – 2400m (a1 1/2m) – TURF – Condition Race – Flat – EUR € 22.000

1. LAOS – Ran a fair race over this trip last time out and gets valuable weight off the back which
brings him right into it. Worth an inclusion
2. BAKHCHISARAY – Ran a pleasing race two starts back in a strong lineup and should be able
to put his poor last effort behind him. Include in the play
3. SPORT COUPE – Arrives in good form from Belgium but it may not be good enough to see him
competitive against this field.
4. JOEY UP – Isn’t the most reliable sort around but brings in bits and pieces of form which make
him off some interest here. Place chance
5. HELIOPOLIS – Finished 6th over 2500m last time out and has her work cut out on the conditions
of this contest. Others make more appeal
6. ZARIYANNKA – Six appearances in France which haven’t been too grand and the trip is a
question mark. Unlikely winner
7. ROYAL FORCE – Last seen in France when running in Listed races and if arriving in good heart,
he will be a serious threat on his old form. Watch for market support
8. KENSINGTON – Winner of his debut run in France and he is open to huge improvement so could
easily win again. Leading contender
9. ALMIRA – Well beaten back in 2nd last time out and will need to show more in order to attract
supporters. Would be a surprise winner
10. CORKY – Finished 4th behind the reopposing Kensington and it doesn’t seem likely that she
can turn the from around as they meet on the same weight terms. Place chance at best

Summary : KENSINGTON (8) showed ability prior to his move to France and could take advantage
off a nice galloping weight. ROYAL FORCE (7) is an interesting runner if judged on his older form
which will see him run above many expectations. BAKHCHISARAY (2) steps up in trip which could
be ideal now that he is older. LAOS (1) is well treated with the apprentice claim and could contest
the finish.

R10 – PRIX DE LA FONTAINE – 2000m (a1 1/4m) – TURF – Handicap – Flat – EUR € 27.000

1. MARSELAN – Consistent sort with solid form credentials/references. Has held his own at a
higher level and should be a factor here
2. MEISHO VELITE – Unexposed filly with sufficient means to warrant respect/inclusion in a race
of this nature. Dark horse
3. MAGIC DYA – Consistent for the most part and is capable of better than his last-start 7th
suggests. Not taken lightly
4. ROOSTER CROWING – A reliable sort who always gives of his best. Has both the form and
experience to make his presence felt
5. BELLE DE SABA – Imposed herself in testing conditions at Lyon-Parilly last time and is capable
of carrying 5kg penalty to victory again. One to beat
6. LUCKY BERE – Unexposed and getting better with each start. Will be competitive in this category
with further progress expected
7. BE A LORD – Made an encouraging start in this category last time when finishing 2nd on his
handicap debut. Must be respected
8. DEMI TRAOU LAND – Consistent for the most and is seldom far off the mark. Has more of a
place chance than a winning one

Summary : BELLE DE SABA (5) made light work of her opposition when winning on heavy ground
at Lyon-Parilly last time and, on the evidence of that demolition job, is good value to defy the penalty
by following up here. She will, however, have to thwart the expected challenges from unexposed
LUCKY BERE (6), who is open to improvement, and MARSELAN (1), who has held her own at a
higher level, as well as BE A LORD (7) who finished 2nd on handicap debut last time.

R11 – PRIX GERARD SAMOUN – 2400m (a1 1/2m) – TURF – Handicap – Flat – EUR € 20.000

1. GERMINAL – Winner over track/trip three starts back and has held his form well ever since then
so looks to be a threat. Leading player
2. KING OF MEADOWS – Runner up at his last two outings and should appreciate the extra
yardage which has suited him before. Each way chance
3. MERCI ELIE – Finished 9th last time out over 1900m and would need to show a different version
of herself to pose a threat. Hard to fancy
4. AIXELLENCE – Ran an improved race when finishing 3rd last time out and if able to confirm that
improvement then she could earn again. Place chance
5. SALON STARLET – Not disgraced by finishing 5th last time out and if she can show improvement
there is every chance that she could place. Potential lurker for the places
6. SIGRUNE – Well drawn and goes the extra for the first time which looks likely to play into her
hands and she could be right on top of them at the line. Winning chance
7. MOZART DES BRIERES – Won two races in a row over further which was followed up by a 4th
placed effort last time out over this trip. Place claims
8. VILLA JOALI – Last start winner that seems to come good around this time of the year but has
more to do in order to follow up on that success. Others preferred
9. BREIZH WOOD – Winner at this circuit three starts back and he is holding his form which
suggests that another win is around the corner. Should go well
10. DOCTEUR TOURNESOL – This gelding doesn’t arrive in the greatest form and will need to
show some spark again if he is to be a threat. Easy to look elsewhere
11. GLOWING SKY – Her last run was all wrong and if she can reproduce her winning run, she will
be a factor. Warrants an inclusion
12. CELEB – Seven starts in the maiden ranks and has failed to show anything positive to date so
doesn’t seem a likely type. Hard to make a case for
13. LE DRAKKAR – Has done well throughout her career but will have her work cut out to be
competitive in this event against stronger opponents. One to pass by
14. MOTICA – Showed vast improvement when finishing 3rd last time out over 2250m but will have
more to do. Others appeal more

Summary : GERMINAL (1) has the right credentials to hold leading claims and should deliver a
bold performance. SIGRUNE (6) meets the boys but looks capable of holding her own in this line
up and will love the test of stamina. BREIZH WOOD (9) is in a good space currently and should go
very well in this. KING OF MEADOWS (2) needs to be included in all bets

R12 – PRIX DE L’HUREPOIX – 2000m (a1 1/4m) – TURF – Divised Handicap – Flat – EUR € 14.000

1. ANGEL PARK – Inconsistent mare but isn’t incapable either. Has the means to stake a claim in
a race of this nature
2. BARZELONA – Struggling to regain any form or show signs of improvement needed to be
competitive here, so unlikely to trouble the judge
3. MAKENO – Undeniably capable but has appeared to have gone off the boil on the evidence of
his recent outings. Must reaffirm
4. SAVILE ROW – Resurgent veteran with sound form credentials. Finished 3rd last time and 2nd
prior to that, so will not be winning out of turn
5. ILDOUCE FLECHOIS – Unreliable although not incapable of sneaking into the money, if judged
on his best references. Hard to trust but is as hard to rule out
6. NIPPER – Has taken a particular liking to racing over this distance and his rider’s 2,5kg allowance
will only aid his cause. Winning chance
7. ANATH – Finished a reassuring 2nd last time and is capable of fighting for victory if confirming
that improvement here
8. ASLAN SENORA – Performed better last time than his finishing position suggest. Warrants
respect with Maxime Guyon in the irons
9. PRINCEDESCHAMPS – Unreliable sort who continues to blow hot and cold but is capable of
getting a look in, having finished 2nd in two of his last four starts
10. COUP GAGNANT – Seldom finishes far off the mark and could get another look in here, but
has only a place chance. Watch for now
11. AMERICAN LILY – Confirmed the improvement of her previous start by winning last time and
will be competitive, despite a 2kg penalty. Respect
12. ARMORIGENE – Rarely goes unnoticed by seldom finishing far off the mark, and already
proven himself competitive at this value. Dark horse
13. SHALAWAY – Out of sorts but has sufficient means and remains capable of resurfacing in a
race of this nature off her reduced mark
14. JARITE FLEURY – Struggling to regain any form or show signs of improvement needed to be
competitive here, so unlikely to trouble the judge

Summary : NIPPER (6) thrives on heavy ground and is likely to get the testing conditions he enjoys,
according to the forecast, so looks the one to be with here on his return to the scene of his last
victory. SAVILE ROW (4), who has a proven record at this track, and last-start runner-up ANATH
(7) are potential threats, as is AMERICAN LILY (11) who confirmed the improvement oof her
previous outing (4th) by winning last time.

R13 – PRIX DE L’ASSOCIATION DES ELEVEURS DU SUD-EST – 2400m (a1 1/2m) – TURF – Divised Handicap – Flat – EUR € 16.000

1. SYLVER SAMBA – Well beaten back in 4th last time out but is always about the action and
should deliver a fair effort. Place chance
2. GINO – Arrives in very moderate form and this gelding will find it tough having to concede weight
to some in form rivals. Easy to pass by
3. MAVALA – Arrives in solid form having won two in a row prior to finishing 4th at her last start and
will be a huge threat. Big runner
4. AMERICAN JOKER – This filly won in her first start of the year but has failed to do anything
since that and is an unlikely type. Hard to recommend
5. FORCE TRANQUILLE – Consistent sort that is never far off the action and brings the right form
into a race of this nature. Will go close
6. RANDONNEUR – Last three starts from this gelding have all been dismal and he needs to start
showing signs of life again before supporters give up on him. Unlikely winner
7. JUSSIFER – Ten starts this year without any success and a 9th place finish from this gelding last
time out, that win looks far away. Would be a surprise winner
8. HE’S A ROCK STAR – Finished a well beaten 6th last time out over 3400m and now reverts
back to 2400m in a tricky race. Others preferred
9. MISS ROAZHON – This filly gets valuable weight off the back and has run a 3rd over track/trip
earlier in the year but needs to do more. Others inspire more confidence
10. FICHA LIMPIA – The last two years have seen this mare win races but her current form doesn’t
suggest that she is capable of winning soon. Hard to fancy
11. FIELD OF GLORY – Fourteen start maiden that is fairly well exposed but stays so could be a
factor for the minor position. Place chance at best
12. AGAMEMNON – Terribly inconsistent sort that doesn’t seem able to hold his form for longer
than two runs but has run fair races over the trip. Outside place chance
13. DREAM OF EMERAUDE – This individual is low on confidence having last won in 2020 but has
dropped considerably in the ratings which is a positive. Place claims
14. CHARLIMIX – This gelding has not been firing in his last seven starts and looks to have very
little to offer. Would be a shock winner

Summary : MAVALA (3) has her tail up and knows exactly where the finishing post is so could
lead her rivals to it. FORCE TRANQUILLE (5) is running with a lot of credit and should make her
presence felt in a big way. SYLVER SAMBA (1) is never far off them and should be included in all
bets. DREAM OF EMERAUDE (13) looks to be on the right mark to some something more positive.

MAVALA (3) – FORCE TRANQUILLE (5) – SYLVER SAMBA (1) – DREAM OF EMERAUDE
(13)

R14 – PRIX DU PAYS D’YVELINES – 2000m (a1 1/4m) – TURF – Divised Handicap – Flat – EUR € 16.000

1. TENNESSEE JOHN – Undeniably capable but, on the evidence of his three consecutive
unplaced outings, has gone off the boil. Must reaffirm
2. MI C’INFILO – At the top of his game after consecutive victories and revels in testing
conditions/deep ground, so isn’t without a chance of completing the hat-trick
3. DARLYVI – Inconsistent but undeniably capable of staking a claim in a race of this nature. Not
be underestimated
4. BARC – Has regained momentum and confirmed as much by finishing 2nd last time, ahead of
MANDLEFT (13). Will be a factor
5. SPATIAL MERIT – 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. RECOLETA – Last-start winner on very heavy ground at this venue. Should go well again, though
has more of a place chance than a winning one
7. BAIONA – Returns to the handicaps racing off a mark 1kg lower than she did when last seen in
this category. Not taken lightly with Stéphane Pasquier engaged
8. ACE CARD – Struggling to regain any form or spark the improvement needed to be competitive
here, so unlikely to trouble the judge
9. BAILEYS DIABLE – Seldom finishes far off the mark and has the means to play a minor role,
but no more than that. Place chance only
10. DAISY SENORA – Has nothing noteworthy to her name to warrant consideration here and can
be ruled out. Overlook
11. LADIVA – Maintaining a good level of form and consistency, and should once again acquit
herself competitively
12. MAGNETIQUE – An authoritative winner of his last start and is likely to remain competitive
despite a resultant penalty
13. MANDLEFT – Returned to form with an unlucky 3rd last time, having been unable to secure a
clear run until very late in the piece. Can make amends
14. DRIP – Limited colt, more effective at a lower level and unlikely to trouble the judge here. Others
are preferred

Summary : MANDLEFT (13) was an unlucky 3rd last time when she only got going late after
running into traffic in the straight. She ran on well enough, nonetheless, and on that evidence seems
capable of gaining compensation. MAGNETIQUE (12) is likely to pose a threat, though, despite
carrying a penalty for his confidence-boosting last-start success. BARC (4) finished ahead of the
selection last time and ought to be competitive again, with the shortlist completed by MI C’INFILO
(2) and LADIVA (11).

R15 – PRIX DENIS BENSUSSAN – 2400m (a1 1/2m) – TURF – Divised Handicap – Flat – EUR € 20.000

1. CORTEZ BANK – This gelding has been nothing short of consistent this year and now going
over further which could be right up his ally with the apprentice claim. Winning chance
2. SCENARISTE – Finished 3rd over 2600m last time out and there is a lot to like about his chances
against these opponents. Winning claims
3. INTO FAITH – He has failed to follow up his victory with anything substantial and looks likely to
struggle against these rivals. Hard to fancy
4. BACIVER – Won over track/trip in his penultimate start and jumps from the best of the draws
which will give him every opportunity to run well. One to include
5. PADRON – Finished 3rd over 2500m last time out and if the form of that race works out in an
earlier race then he will hold serious claims. One for the shortlist
6. DENIA – Winner over track/trip three starts back that seems capable of landing a blow in this
contest. Each way chance
7. LIVING NELSON – Tries the trip for the first time which is questionable but if able to stay then
he could be a player for the minor positions. Others preferred
8. GEMMYO – Finished 3rd behind the top selection last time out and could close the deficit with a
slight weight advantage. Upset potential
9. BEN DE DIANE – This gelding has found form again over 2000m which looks to be his ideal trip
despite a couple of fair runs over track/trip. Place chance
10. SANCHO – Won two races in quick succession at the start of the year but hasn’t been able to
live up to that form since then. Easy to look elsewhere
11. FREE BREATH – Arrives in consistent form and is always about the action so should be a
player based on recent efforts. Include in all bets
12. PEGASUS – Finished 5L behind the winner back in 3rd last time out and he has his work cut
out to close the gap. More needed to feature
13. MOUTRAKI – Won well in Class 4 company last time out and seems to be the type that could
outrun his odds here. Dark horse
14. MOKO – Non Partant

Summary : SCENARISTE (2) is in the right place currently and has recent winning form to his
name which bodes well for his chances. FREE BREATH (11) receives weight from his rivals and
from a good draw, should get the ideal run in transit. CORTEZ BANK (1) seems to be craving a
stamina test and he’ll be a player. DENIA (6) has done well at this venue so will be a factor once
again.

R16 – PRIX DU PLATEAU DE SACLAY – 2000m (a1 1/4m) – TURF – Divised Handicap – Flat – EUR € 21.000

1. BURATTINA – Has been at the top of her game recently, winning back-to-back recent outings.
Will remain competitive
2. SANDSTORM – Maintaining a good level of form and consistency and will also benefit from his
rider’s 2,5kg allowance. Place chance
3. HOOTTON – Enjoys racing at Saint-Cloud and lines up here in good form and physical condition.
Should be a factor
4. CORDEY ROSE – Unreliable but not incapable of getting into the picture judged on her best
references. Hard to trust but is as hard to rule out
5. MORSAN – An honest veteran who continues to acquit himself competitively/consistently at a
good level. Winning chance
6. ATHINEOS – Currently enjoying a good spell of form, so it is difficult to count him out. Could get
into the picture
7. JOLI COUP – Finished a reassuring 2nd last time and ought to be competitive here if confirming
that improvement
8. TRABUCO – Improved with a much-needed comeback outing under his belt to win his most
recent start and will be competitive once more
9. WAITARA – Last-start winner who has proven her effectiveness/competitiveness on heavy
ground. Not taken lightly
10. STORMY NIGHT – Has regained her momentum recently and confirmed as much with an
improved 3rd last time out. Dark horse
11. WALDSTEIN – Improving with each start and could get a look in here if building on the progress
of his most recent 4th
12. RUE JONAS – Seldom finishes far off the mark and is capable of getting into the picture, though
has no more than a place chance
13. BONNIE HOPPS – Has won consecutive starts at her last two appearances but has a lot more
on her plate now. Outsider
14. KARIOITAHI – Honest mare with sound form references, although is more effective at a lower
level. Best watched for now

Summary : MORSAN (5) is somewhat of a ‘mudlark’ given his particular liking for deep/heavy
ground which he’s likely to get here. And having finished 2nd in 3 of his last 4 starts, he seems
ideally engaged here and is good value to add an 11th career success to his tally. BURATTINA (1)
and HOOTTON (3) should pose a serious threat, judged on the strength and consistency of their
recent form, while TRABUCO (8) is steadily regaining his best level following a lengthy absence
and could have a say too.

R17 – PRIX DE LA VALLEE DE CHEVREUSE – 2000m (a1 1/4m) – TURF – Divised Handicap – Flat – EUR € 23.000

1. STALLONE – This colt placed second in latest in a class G event and did place second at this
course in April. One to consider
2. VAYDENA – A course and distance winner of penultimate start. This filly was fifth in latest at this
course and can make the frame
3. MOONWALK STEP – A course winner of latest and is a ten time winner overall. Can make the
frame at best here
4. TWILIGHT – A filly that won over course and distance in latest and she is a three time winner
overall
5. POWER PAPERS – Been on a break since August and if not needing the run can be in the
action. One to consider
6. PENTAOUR – This gelding places second at this course over 2400m in October. If putting best
foot forward can be involved
7. KIMINA – A mare that has placed two of last three and could get into the action here. In good
form here
8. COME SAY HI – A gelding that has been on a break since August when winning three in a row.
If not needing the run can be there
9. LA DIVA D’ALBEN – This filly has had two runs back from a break and placed fourth in latest.
Third run back could be cherry ripe
10. YOU ROCK – Placed second at this course in October and that was coming back from a five
month break. Should be sharper this time round
11. VILLA DARYA – This mare has won two of last three and is a three time winner overall. Can
be involved at the finish
12. ZULU NYALA – This mare placed third in her latest event and seems to be on the improve and
can trouble the judge
13. KABIR – Been on a break since August and might need the run back from the absence.
14. AUENWOLF – Placed in lateat two events and similar can be achieved if all goes in his favor.
Place chance
15. QUELLO – Won in October but has run unplaced twice since that run and must improve to
feature

Summary : STALLONE (1) is in good heart and could go one better in this lucky last race.
VAYDENA (2) won over this course and distance in her penultimate start and should be a threat.
KIMINA (7) has been consistent of late and can contest the finish once again. LA DIVA D’ALBEN
(9) could be cherry ripe fitness wise and ready to strike.
