France Form Sheet – 26 July

Race Preview

C1 – PRIX FACO – PRIX NATHANAELLE ARTU – 1200m (a6f) – TURF – Maiden Race – Flat – EUR € 16,000

1. KENMADA – Unplaced on both runs so far, the latest over 1400m at this track on June 9th in a
maiden. Has work to do
2. LADELONETTE – Unplaced on her sole start over 1400m at Compiegne on June 22nd. Looks
hard to recommend
3. SIGNORIA PIAZZA – Ran well when 2nd last time in a claimer was over 1200m at Aix-LesBains on July 9th. More needed but can make the frame
4. NIIA – 6th last time over 1000m at Dieppe on June 14th in a maiden on her second start.
Should like the step up in trip this time
5. LARMES D’OR – Unplaced over 1400m at this track on July 11th on her sole start. She should
improve but others make more appeal
6. BAY DE LARMOR – Unplaced on her sole start over 1400m at this track on July 11th. Needs
vast improvement to figure
7. PEARL WOOD – Fair 4th last time over 1100m at Le Mans on May 15th in a Class 3 race. Can
not be overlooked
8. CAMBODGE – Non-Runner
9. LADY OF ANDROS – Newcomer by Ardad, the dam won twice. Bold show is expected for this
nicely bred filly

Summary: LADY OF ANDROS (9) has been found a good opportunity through her connections
to make a winning debut in what looks like a modest maiden race. PEARL WOOD (7) has the
best form of those that have raced and is the obvious threat. SIGNORIA PIAZZA (3) will need
more than she showed when second last time in a claimer to be successful, but it was a better
run. NIIA (4) should show an improved run on a step-up in trip today.

SELECTIONS
LADY OF ANDROS (9) – PEARL WOOD (7) – SIGNORIA PIAZZA (3) – NIIA (4)

C2 – PRIX ABSI EQUITOP – PRIX DE MONTREUIL-SUR-MAINE – 1400m (a7f) – TURF – Class 3 Race – Flat – EUR € 18,000

1. SENZA TE – Three unplaced runs since a win over 1100m at Dieppe on May 13th in a Class 3
race. Capable of being involved
2. BATESCA – Three unplaced runs recently, won before that over 1300m in a claimer at SaintCloud on May 6th. Has work to do
3. HONKY TONK WOMAN – 3rd last time, won before that over 1400m at Clairefontaine in a
claimer on July 5th. Has outside place claims
4. TANTOMILE – Unplaced last time, 3rd before that over 1600m at Parislongchamp in a Class 3
race on June 13th. Merits consideration
5. ALYAQUT – 6th last time over 1800m at Compiegne on June 24th in a maiden race. 4th in a
maiden two starts ago over 1850m.Down in grade and can feature
6. BAILEYS TOPAZE – Nice 3rd last time over 1400m at this track in a handicap on July 11th.
Ought to be in the shake-up
7. MA MOME – Fair 2nd last time over 1400m in a handicap at La Teste on July 21st. One to pay
attention too

Summary: ALYAQUT (5) has shown ability in all three of her runs so far, she was a good fourth
two runs ago in a maiden in May at Parislongchamp and can get off the mark this time. BAILEYS
TOPAZE (6) has yet to win after nine runs but has been placed on the majority of her starts. She
can play a lead role as can MA MOME (7) who was a good second on her latest start in a
handicap. TANTOMILE (4) makes up the shortlist.

SELECTIONS
ALYAQUT (5) – BAILEYS TOPAZE (6) – MA MOME (7) – TANTOMILE (4)

C3 – PRIX PIGEON PREFA – PRIX JEAN SAUVAGE – 1400m (a7f) – TURF – Class 4 Divided Handicap – Flat – EUR € 15,000

1. TOOCOOLFORSCHOOL – 5th last time over 1400m in a Class 4 handicap at Vichy on July
16th. Can be on the premises
2. PRINCE DES DUNES – Non-Runner
3. L’AIR DU TEMPS – Has a few unplaced runs of late, 5th two runs back over 1400m in a Class
4 handicap was probably the best on June 9th. Each-way angle
4. SPACE FORCE – 3rd last time over 1200m at Chantilly in a Class 4 handicap on June 26th.
One to consider
5. PODIA DAZ – Nice 2nd last time over 1950m at Chateaubriant in a Class 4 handicap. Can get
off the mark
6. LA FLACA – Has shown very little form for some time. Well beaten over 1400m in a Class 3
race on July 11th when last racing. Hard to fancy
7. ACHKI – 3rd last time, won before that over 1400m at Chantilly in a Class 4 handicap on July
2nd. Can feature
8. SHAMASUN – Fair 3rd last time over 1400m in a Class 4 handicap at Chantilly on July 2nd. In
the mix
9. MINO PICO – Has shown no form for some time, the latest unplaced run was over 2100m at
Savenay in a Class event on July 14th. Hard to fancy
10. APASH – 4th last time over 1700m in a Class 4 race at Granville on July 15th. Others make
more sense
11. ABRASSO – 2nd last time, won before that was over 1400m in a Class 4 handicap at
Compiegne on June 12th. Merits consideration
12. SPEED CHOP – Has several unplaced runs this year, the latter over 1600m in a Class 4
handicap on June 20th. Unlikely
13. RED THE WEST – Three unplaced runs this year, the latter over 1600m in a Class 4 handicap
at Nantes on May 30th. Pass over
14. CAPELENA – Has five unplaced runs of late, the latest over 1400m at Mont-De-Marsan in a
Class 4 handicap on July 5th. Looks out of form
15. ZENHAYA – 4th last time over 2500m in a Class 4 race at Jarnac on September 18th, 2022.
Has a long absence to overcome and is best avoided
16. BULSARA – Has six unplaced runs this year, the latter over 1400m in a Class 4 handicap on
June 30th. Makes no appeal

Summary: A large number of the runners are out of form. PODIA DAZ (5) was a good second
last time 10 days ago at Chateaubriant and is the tentative selection to finally get off the mark.
ACHKI (7) can be a threat if emulating his effort at Chantilly earlier this month when he was third.
L’AIR DU TEMPS (3) has eased in the ratings and is capable of being involved off his current
handicap mark. SPACE FORCE (4) makes up the shortlist.

SELECTIONS
PODIA DAZ (5) – ACHKI (7) – L’AIR DU TEMPS (3) – SPACE FORCE (4)

C4 – PRIX SOLS SPORTIFS – PRIX BERNARD LEROYER – 1400m (a7f) – TURF – Class 4 Divided Handicap – Flat – EUR € 17,000

1. VALDIKHOVA – Has four unplaced runs this year, the latest over 1400m in a Class 3 handicap
at Vichy 10 days ago. Hardly inspiring
2. KENDAYA – Three unplaced runs since a 3rd in a Class 3 handicap at Pau on January 22nd
over 1400m. Hard to dismiss
3. ROYALWOOD – 5th last time over 1200m in a Class 3 handicap on July 7th at Deauville.
Among the leading place chances
4. KENITZA – Won two runs ago over 1900m at Nimes on March 24th. Has struggled in handicap
runs so far
5. AIGRETTE – 4th last time over 2900m at Royan in a Class 4 race on May 8th. Has work to do
to be involved
6. REGALIEN – Has shown no real form for some time, the latest poor run was over 1600m at
Nantes in a Class 4 handicap on July 3rd. Others preferred
7. ESSAI TRANSFORME – Four unplaced runs of late, the latter over 1600m in a Class 3
handicap on July 12th and he has dropped in the ratings, which gives him an each-way chance
8. FINDON ROSE – Has six unplaced runs this year, the most recent over 1200m at Chantilly on
June 26th in a Class 3 race. Out of form and best avoided
9. GALILEE DREAM – Unplaced on the last two runs, 3rd before that over 2000m in a Class 3
handicap at Compiegne on May 31st. Faces a stiff task
10. NEOWISE – Three unplaced runs since a 4th placed run over 1800m in a Class 4 race on
January 26th on the PSF. Makes limited appeal
11. ROXY MUSIC – 5th last time, 2nd before that over 1300m at Argentan in a Class 4 race on
June 5th. Ought to be in the shake-up
12. UN PLUS UNE – 5th on the last two runs, 2nd before that over 1300m at Saint-Cloud in a
Class 3 handicap on May 25th. Can not be ruled out
13. ADELA – Has five unplaced runs this year, the latest over 1400m in a Class 4 handicap on
July 5th. Hard to recommend
14. LAGOA SANTA – Unplaced on the last two runs, won before that over 1400m in a Class 4
race at Niort on May 26th. Player
15. ZAAHIR – Has five unplaced runs recently, the latest over 1600m at Compiegne in a Class 3
handicap on July 12th. Pass by
16. DIEPPE – 2nd two runs ago over 1350m at Angers on June 20th in a Class 4 handicap.
Should be competitive on the back of this performance

Summary: DIEPPE (16) can score from the foot of the weights. She has been on the premises
on her last four runs and was not beaten far when sixth on her latest run at Chantilly 24 days ago.
ROXY MUSIC (11) was a pleasing second two starts ago and can make the selection work hard
for the win. UN PLUS UNE (12) has a nice racing weight and will be expected to be competitive.
ESSAI TRANSFORME (7) has eased in the ratings and ought to be in the shake-up.

SELECTIONS
DIEPPE (16) – ROXY MUSIC (11) – UN PLUS UNE (12) – ESSAI TRANSFORME (7)
