1. HERRENCHIEMSEE – Unplaced last time, 2nd before that at Vichy in a Listed race over 1000m
on May 15th. Ought to make her presence felt

chance of being involved
3. EAGLE GATE – Has won both runs so far, the latter over 1000m in a Class 3 race at Lyon Parilly
on April 17th. He is improving and a hat-trick is on the cards

on May 5th in a maiden race. Has place claims
5. REINE DU CIEL – 3rd last time at this Chantilly in a maiden on July 2nd over 1200m. Looks
vulnerable

Hard to recommend

Summary: HERRENCHIEMSEE (1) was a good second two runs ago at Vichy in a Listed race
over 1000m on May 15th. She can edge this from EAGLE GATE (3) who has won both runs so far,
the latest over 1000m in a Class 3 race at Lyon Parilly in mid-April. He is improving and holds a
leading chance. MISTER CHANG (2) was a fair second last time and is one to consider. ALLEE
DE BERCY (4) is also worth a mention.

the shake-up
3. MAGIC SWORD – Nice 2nd last time in a Class 3 handicap at Chantilly on June 26th. One to
pay attention too
4. TALLINSKI – Unplaced last time, 2nd before that over 1100m at Dieppe ina Class 3 handicap

warrants respect
6. CRISTAL MARVELOUS – Has several unplaced runs of late, the latter over 1100m in a Class 4
handicap on July 15th. Hardly inspiring

on July 7th in a Class 4 race. Hardly inspiring

Class 4 race on June 20th. Can be overlooked

Summary: MAGIC SWORD (3) was a good second last time in a Class 3 handicap at Chantilly on
June 26th. He is one to pay attention to. He can edge this from TALLINSKI (4) who ran unplaced
last time but was second before that over 1100m at Dieppe in a Class 3 handicap on June 14th.
He can make an impact. BOTTOMS UP (5) is also one to consider and looks like a solid each-way
option. LAMORNA COVE (7) will be sharper for a recent run and can not be ruled out.

SELECTIONS
MAGIC SWORD (3) – TALLINSKI (4) – BOTTOMS UP (5) – LAMORNA COVE (7)

C3 – PRIX YVES SAINT-MARTIN – 1000m (a5f) – TURF – Class 3 Divided Handicap – Flat – EUR € 20,000

1. MARY GOLD – Can make her rivals work hard, she won two runs back over 1100m in a Class 2
race in early March and is very honest
2. CALIFANO – A decent third-placed run last time over 1200m in a Class 3 race. Ought to be
thereabouts

In the mix

on July 2nd. One to keep safe
7. CERVARO – Has several unplaced runs of late, the latter over 1350m in a Class 3 handicap on
June 15th. Hardly inspiring

place claims

Might need this race for fitness

July 7th in a Class 3 race. Opposable
13. LE CENTRAL – Five unplaced runs this year, the most recent over 1400m at Chantilly in a
Class 3 handicap on July 2nd. Unlikely to figure
14. KOUTSOUNAKOS – Has six unplaced runs of late, the latter over 1300m in a Class 3 race at
Le Touquet on July 1st. Pass over
15. HY DREAM – Has been in the frame on the last six runs, 2nd last time over 1200m in a Class
3 handicap on June 26th. Player

Summary: ISMAEL PAINT (4) was a pleasing third in a Class 2 handicap at Deauville earlier this
month. He is overdue for another success. MARY GOLD (1) can make her rivals work hard, she
won on her penultimate start over 1100m in a Class 2 race in early March and rarely runs out of
the frame. CALIFANO (2) looks like the best option each-way after a decent third-placed run last
time over 1200m in a Class 3 event. EXCALIBUR (5) makes up the shortlist.

SELECTIONS
ISMAEL PAINT (4) – MARY GOLD (1) – CALIFANO (2) – EXCALIBUR (5)

1. OUDON – Good 2nd last time over 2600m at Marseille Borely on June 14th on his second start.
He is promising and can play a lead role

will of improved and can score
3. GOGO DU BREUIL – Unplaced on sole start over 2300m in a maiden at Angers on June 20th.
Hardly inspiring

Looks of limited ability
5. BLACK SAXON – 4th on sole start over 2400m in a maiden on July 5th. Should improve and
make the frame
6. KURKUL – Unplaced last time, 2nd before that over 1600m at Wroclaw(POL) on May 30th. Hard
to recommend

be sharper for that outing and can not be overlooked

vulnerable
9. PINK PERSEVERANCE – 5th on the sole start over 2000m at Lyon Parilly on June 8th in a
maiden. Improvement expected
10. CHILLI ZING – Newcomer by Magna Grecia, will likely need this run for experience. The betting
can be the best guide

Summary: EDESTRIAV (2) was a decent second on his sole start over 1800m at Clairefontaine
21 days ago. He will be sharper for that run and can have a say in the finish. OUDON (1) was a
good second last time over 2600m at Marseille Borely on June 14th on his second start. He looks
progressive. BLACK SAXON (5) looks like the best each-way option after promise on his debut
when fourth. PINK PERSEVERANCE (9) makes up the shortlist.

bold run can be expected by him
3. NATIONAL SERVICE – Unplaced last time, 2nd before that over 1300m at Chantilly on March
8th in a Class 1 race. Ought to be in the shake-up
4. SPIRIT CATCHER – 4th last time over 1600m at Doncaster(GBR) on September 16th. Makes
the trip over from the UK but others make more appeal
5. RAINIER – 2nd last time over 1600m at Karlovy Vary (CZE) on June 30th. Hard to know what to
expect from him
6. JIR SUN – 3rd last time over 1600m at Prague(CZE) on June 23rd. Has won at Listed Class in
Germany last year but this looks a tough ask
7. ANTHORUS – Won last time over 1600m in a Class 2 race at Lyon Parilly on June 24th. One to
keep safe
8. RUNNYMEDE – Has two recent third-placed efforts in Class 2 races over 1600m and is one to
consider

20th. Might find this difficult

Summary: ELAMAZ (1) has won his last three races, the latest a Class 2 handicap at Saint-Cloud
over 1600m in early June. He is on the upward curve and will be hard to beat. BULLACE (2) is a
threat having been a decent third in a Group 3 race over 1600m at Chantilly last time on June 16th.
A bold run can be expected by him. RUNNYMEDE (8) has two recent third-placed efforts in Class
2 races over 1600m and is one to consider. MOUNTAIN SONG (9) is also worth a mention.

June 28th. Can be overlooked

July 9th over 2500m. She has yet to win but will be competitive. BLACK MORNING (6) was a
credible fourth over 2000m in a Class 4 race in early July when last seen. She is among the leading
