Race Preview
C1 – PRIX DE LA VALLEE DE L’AUTOMNE – 1400m (a7f) – TURF – Class 2 Race – Flat – EUR € 34,000
1. ALOYSIUS – Won last time over 1400m at Toulouse on June 19th after a promising second on
his debut. Looks progressive and has a live chance
2. HOUQUETOT – Won on his debut by an impressive 3L at this track on June 22nd over 1400m.
He beat a subsequent winner into second when scoring and looks like a useful performer
3. PARAMECIUM – Fair 2nd last time on his second run over 1400m at saint Cloud on June 17th.
In the mix
4. MAHASEN – Nice 3rd on the sole start over 1400m at Chantilly on June 26th. Should improve
and be on the premises
5. GREEN GATE – 5th on his only run so far at this track on June 22nd in a newcomers race over
1400m. Has work to do
Summary: HOUQUETOT (2) was impressive when scoring on debut at this track last month,
and this well-bred juvenile who was a 280,000 euros purchase as a yearling, looks to be a smart
prospect. He probably has the most to fear from ALOYSIUS (1) who won nicely at Toulouse
recently and looks the type to keep getting better with race experience. MAHASEN (4) showed
talent on his sole run when third and he can not be discounted.
SELECTIONS
HOUQUETOT (2) – ALOYSIUS (1) – MAHASEN (4) – PARAMECIUM (3)
C2 – PRIX DE LA THIERACHE – 1400m (a7f) – TURF – Claiming – Flat – EUR € 19,000
1. EYWA – Unplaced last time, 2nd before that over 1400m at this track in a claimer on June
22nd. One to consider
2. FAR BEYOND – Unplaced on both runs so far, the latest over 1000m in a maiden on May 30th.
Down in class but looks vulnerable
3. BY SENSATION – 3rd last time in a Class 2 race at Marseille Borely over 1200m on June 7th.
Down in class and should be too smart for her rivals
4. LA FRENCHIE – Unplaced last time, 4th on debut before that over 1200m in a claimer on May
22nd. Looks up against it
5. POFIGISTE – Three unplaced runs so far, the latter over 1200m in a claimer on June 29th at
Chantilly. Makes limited appeal
6. MIA WAVE – 3rd last time in a claimer at Argentan over 1300m in a claimer on June 5th.
Needs to be considered
7. STRAIGHTTOTHEPOINT – Unraced filly by Far Above, stable runners warrant respect on their
debut in this type of race. Watch the betting for clues
8. LAHOMI – 2nd last time over 1100m in a claimer at Sant-Malo on July 15th over 1100m. Has
each-way claims
9. MOON OF THE NIGHT – Has five unplaced runs so far, the latter over 1400m in a maiden on
July 3rd. Has been beaten in two claimers and looks to be one to avoid
Summary: BY SENSATION (3) has credible form in much better races than this. She was third in
a Class 2 race last time and drops down in grade and should be too smart for her rivals. EYWA
(1) will keep her honest and is capable of making her rivals work hard for success. LAHOMI (8) is
the one to go with from an each-way perspective after a good second last time. MIA WAVE (6)
makes up the shortlist.

BY SENSATION (3) – EYWA (1) – LAHOMI (8) – MIA WAVE (6)
C3 – PRIX PELLEAS – 2000m (a1m1/4) – TURF – Listed Race – Flat – EUR € 55,000
1. MAP OF STARS – Won on his debut on October 15th last year over 1800m at
Parislongchamp. Some useful horses have come out of that race and won since. He can play a
lead role if ready to go from an absence
2. DOLLAR INDEX – Unplaced last time( French Deby), 2nd before that in a Listed race at
Chantilly on May 2nd over 2000m. Useful and can not be overlooked
3. CAMBACERES – Won a Class 1 race last time over 1700m on June 21st at Marseille Borely.
Ought to be involved
4. BABAKOOL – 2nd last time over 2400m at Saint-Cloud in a Class 2 race on June 30th. Looks
progressive and warrants respect
5. VEGAS – Won a Class 2 race last time over 2000m on May 26th at Parislongchamp. Warrants
respect
Summary: MAP OF STARS (1) won like a smart horse on his sole start last October. He had
some useful horses behind him that day and he should be fit and ready to go. DOLLAR INDEX
(2) is a threat having been outclassed in the Prix de Jockey-Club (Gr.1) last time, he will be more
at home in calmer waters this time. BABAKOOL (4) has won his maiden and ran well when
second last time in a Class 2 race. He can make things interesting.

C4 – PRIX DU POLYGONE – 2400m (a1m1/2) – TURF – Class 3 Claiming – Flat – EUR € 19,000
1. HAVOC – Two unplaced runs of late, won before that over 2500m in a Class 3 race at SaintCloud on May 10th. One to keep safe
2. MYKISS – Won his last two races, the latter over 2700m in a Class 4 race at Le Touquet on
July 1st. Thrives on very soft ground and can win again
3. SIRJAN – 5th last time over 2200m at Koln (DEU) on June 16th. Has won a Group 3 race in
Italy in 2022 and ought to be thereabouts
4. I’M A BELIEVER – Has five unplaced runs of late, 3rd before that in a Class 3 race on January
24th at Chantilly. Has eased in the ratings and looks out of form
5. HELIOPOLIS – 5th last time, won before that over 2400m in a Class 2 handicap at Lyon Parilly
on May 8th. One to pay attention too
6. NORTH HUNTER – Three unplaced runs this year, the latter over 1800m at Chantilly on July
14th in a Class 2 handicap. He needs to get back to form
7. PALUS ARGENTEUS – 3rd two runs ago over 2400m at Compiegne in a Class 3 race(claimer)
on June 7th. Can not be overlooked
Summary: The filly HELIOPOLIS (5) might just edge this, she was a good winner two starts ago
in a Class 2 handicap and is marginally preferred to the consistent performer MYKISS (2) who will
handle most types of ground but thrives on very soft conditions. He is seeking a hat-trick of wins
and can not be overlooked. PALUS ARGENTEUS (7) and HAVOC (1) are both capable and
should be involved at the business end.

C5 – PRIX LA TOQUE CUIVREE – 1400m (a7f) – TURF – Newcomers Race – Flat – EUR € 23,000
1. ODAI – Newcomer by Sioux Nation, will be better for this debut run. Watch the betting for any
support
2. FASKO – Unraced colt by Fas, the dam was a winner. Can come forward for this debut run.
Any market support should be informative
3. ZE WEEKEND – Unraced colt by Gutaifan, stable runners warrant respect. Watch the betting
for any support
4. MONDO – Newcomer by Persian King, the dam was useful who won a Listed race, and was
placed in a Group 3 race. From a leading stable that will have this colt well-tuned
5. OPUS ONE – Unraced colt by Sea The Stars, the dam won a Listed race, and this youngster
will be nicely prepared for his debut
6. KEYKO – Unraced gelding by War Command, should improve from this debut run. Any market
support should be noted
7. TORIO – Unraced colt by Romanised, the dam was a maiden. One to watch in the betting for
any support
8. AWAITING CHRISTMAS – Unraced colt by Attendu, the dam was unraced. One to watch in
the betting for any support
9. LAVIS – Newcomer by Lope De Vega, the dam won twice including a Listed race over 1600m.
Stable runners warrant respect and the betting can be informative
10. DISCORAMA – Unraced filly by Muhaarar, the dam ran one. From a shrewd stable who can
ready a newcomer. Watch the betting patterns
11. MARY JAYNE – Unraced filly by Toronado, stable runners tend to need a run or two. Monitor
the betting for clues
12. RUE DU DOME – Newcomer by Waldpark, should be wiser for this outing. The betting can be
the best guide
Summary: MONDO (4) can score on his debut, he is well-bred, his dam was a classy performer
who won a Listed race and the Rouget yard will have this colt ready to strike. OPUS ONE (5) is a
stable companion of the selection and looks good on paper. He will know what is required. LAVIS
(9) could be smart, his dam was a useful filly who won a Listed race and any market interest
should be noted. AWAITING CHRISTMAS (8) is also worth a mention.

C6 – PRIX DE LA BASSE AUTOMNE – 2000m (a1m1/4) – TURF – Maiden Race – Flat – EUR € 22,000
1. DARBASAN – Slightly below par last time, but a good 6th on his debut at Saint-Cloud over
1600m on March 7th. Can make the top three
2. PIRATE REBEL – Three unplaced runs so far, the latter over 1400m at Compiegne on July 9th.
Opposable
3. DAREMBERG – Unplaced on his only run over 1600m at Compiegne on May 31st. Hard to
recommend
4. GATTOPARDO – Nice 2nd last time over 2000m at Chantilly in a maiden on June 29th. Live
chance
5. GUARDIAN – Nice debut when 7th over 2100m ay Koln(DEU) on April 1st. Can improve and
play a lead role
6. IMPRESARIO – 4th last time over 2700m at Le Touquet on July 1st. Among the leading place
chances
7. MYTHICOREO – 6th last time on his debut at Saarbrucken (DEU) on June 29th. Makes limited
appeal
8. AKANO – 3rd last time at Koln(DEU) over 1850m on June 16th. Might find this difficult
9. PERRINE – Unplaced on her sole start over 1800m at Clairefontaine on June 28th. Others
make more appeal
10. ALEMANIA – Fair 3rd over 2000m at Chantilly on June 29th on her second start. Looks to be
improving and can not be ruled out
11. ZANZIA – 4th on both of her runs so far, the latter over 2000n at Chantilly on June 29th. In the
mix
12. BAILEYS CORONATION – Unplaced on her sole start over 1400m at Compiegne on July 9th.
Looks vulnerable
13. MAGNETICQUEEN – 5th last time over 2000m at Chantilly on June 29th on her second start.
One to consider
14. KAIWHAKAN – Unplaced last time, 3rd before that on her debut at Waregem (BEL) over
1600m on May 28th. Can be overlooked
Summary: GATTOPARDO (4) looks like the most likely winner in this maiden event. He was a
pleasing second last time at Chantilly and will likely head the betting market. GUARDIAN (5) is a
player and will be wiser for a promising run in April at Koln in Germany. ALEMANIA (10) looks
progressive and faired well last time when she was third at the end of June at Chantilly.
DARBASAN (1) is best judged on his debut run after fluffing his lines last time and is one to
consider

1. DENISJONH – 2nd two starts ago in a Class 2 race over 1600m on May 16th. Needs a few to

Has had a break and will be fit and competitive
8. NOVA KEN – Unplaced recently, 2nd before that over 1300m in a Class 2 race on February
11th. Makes limited appeal
Summary: PIANO BAR (2) can put a tame effort behind him last time and looks like the likely
winner in this Class 2 race. His main rival could be RIVER FALLS (6) who is bred to be useful
and showed an improved effort last time when she was second at Compiegne earlier this month.
SEE THE DREAM (7) won in December on the all-weather surface and is fit to go she can be on
the premises. CLANITHA (5) heads the remainder.

8. SAGALITA – Unplaced on her sole run over 1800m at Clairefontaine on June 28th. Hard to
recommend
9. WESTERNER THEYSS – Nice debut 3rd at Compiegne on her sole run to date over 1600m on
May 31st. Should be sharper this time and be in the shake-up
10. WINDBURN – Credible 3rd last time over 1800m in a maiden at Parislongchamp on June
20th. Among the leading chances
11. SUMMER BAY – 3rd last time over 1600m at Waregem(BEL) on June 22nd. Looks out of her
depth
12. EVER KATE – Unplaced on her sole run so far, that was over 1600m at Chantilly on June
29th. Looks vulnerable
13. DREAM CEN – Nice 4th on her debut over 1400m at Compiegne on April 16th. Can improve

14. FENIX CEN – Unplaced on her only start over 1400m at Compiegne on July 9th. Needs vast
improvement to feature

Any market support should be noted
16. EMMA MAY ROSE – Newcomer by Golden Horn, the dam won in France and was Listed
placed in Germany. Can play a prominent role on debut
Summary: BALTIC EMPRESS (4) has been second on her most recent two runs and holds
leading claims to get a deserved success. GALAXIE VEGA (6) can make the selection work hard
for success. She was behind the selection when they met at Chantilly 23 days ago when
unplaced. A better run can be expected. WINDBURN (10) is also one to keep safe after a good
effort at Parislongchamp when third last time. DREAM CEN (13) looks best of the rest.

Although he has risen in the weights he will be hard to beat. VICTORY CAT (10) has run credibly
of late without success and she can make the selection work hard for success. VENETICO (12) is
one to include in all of the place bet permutations. VEGA DREAM (4) won two runs ago and is
one that needs to be considered.

Summary: ZVAROSHKA (3) is a marginal choice after two recent second-placed efforts. Her
latest in a Class 2 handicap and she looks like she can make an impact. TERREDEGUERRE (8)
will do her best to overcome her rivals and has been running well without success of late. ALVA
(5) has been in good heart of late and looks like a solid option each way. CAMELOT SONG (7) is
racing off a decent racing weight and can not be overlooked.

One to consider 18. PRAIRIE GLORY – Won last time over 2000m at Strasbourg on July 8th in a Class 4
handicap. More required in a better race
Summary: INATTENDU (9) will be full of confidence after a recent win in mid-July and hold
strong claims of following up. KING HARTWOOD (4) has to be taken seriously after some good
efforts of late, which includes a win two starts ago in early June. BOZZO (5) is one to consider
from an each-way perspective. CRUELLA DE VIL (16) has been knocking at the door with two
second-placed efforts and can not be ruled out.

this distance on 20 June. Capable of better and has a winning chance

June. Deserves respect on handicap debut

2400m on 28 June. Could play a minor role

11 May. Capable of improvement but others are preferred

2000m on 3 July. A bit more is needed to win this race

this line up and others are preferred
11. SNATCHER – Not disgraced when fourth last time out in a handicap at this course over

Summary: JANASHA (1) has been consistent so far and could score on handicap debut but it is
a competitive-looking race. MISSION ALPHA (2) flopped when taking a shot at a much stronger
race than this so could be a threat this time. NO BAY (3) is improving and won last time out so
deserves respect on handicap debut. BASHEER (7) ran well first time in handicap so is clearly
not out of it.
