Race Preview

C2 – PRIX DU FOUR A CHAUX – 1600m (a1m) – TURF – Newcomers Race – Flat – EUR €35,000

1. O MEIGO – Dam won nine times in her career from 1600m – 2100m and this colt is of interest. The market will be our best guide
2. ALPHA JET – Dam raced without any success but this gelding could be ready to deliver a useful effort. Follow the market
3. SPANISH PRINCE – Son of the talented Zelzal who looks like a forward type and he could go well first up. Big runner
4. FANDANCER – Dam won twice in Germany over 1900m/2000m and this colt could need the experience. Follow the market
5. EMINENCE GRISE – Dam was unraced and this colt seems likely to need the education on debut. Others preferred
6. MIMOSA DES SOURCES – Dam won once over 1650m and this colt will need the outing. One to pass by
7. MIRAGE BLOU – Dam remained a maiden without threatening but this horse could run a fair race on debut. Place chance
8. ALEXEI – Dam won three times over 1400m/1500m but this gelding doesn’t come from a yard that are known for debut winners. Others inspire more confidence

Summary: In a race where the market will be our best indicator as to who could be the most likely winner, SPANISH PRINCE (3) is fancied to make a winning debut and could be the right one if the market speaks in his favor.  ALPHA JET  (2) and O MEIGO (1) both appear as types that could put their best foot forward and be a threat. MIRAGE BLOU (7) could fill up the minor spots.

C3 – PRIX DIDIER VEZIA – 1600m (a1m) – TURF – Newcomers Race – Flat – EUR €35,000

1. FLEUR D’AQUITAINE – Dam won three races over 1300m/1800m/2100m. Could be one to watch
2. LIXTA – Dam raced twice over the hurdles without doing anything to get excited about. One to pass by
3. KONADA – Dam was unraced and this filly isn’t the most appealing type on pedigree. Worth a market check
4. MAKE IT RIGHT – Dam raced twice without any success and this filly is likely to need the experience. Others make more appeal
5. LADY WINNER – Dam remained a maiden but this filly appears to be one that could know what its all about on debut. Follow the market
6. RUE ERNESTINE – Dam won three times from 1700m – 2000m which included a win at Listed level. Could be ready to strike first time out
7. BOREALE – Daughter of Born To Sea who doesn’t stand out on paper and could need the experience. Easy to pass by
8. STARMANIA – Dam was unraced but this filly has quite a nice pedigree and there is every chance that she could be forward on debut. Include in the play
9. TZERKA – Dam won twice over 2100m/2150m and with a bit of stamina in her pedigree, she could be effective here. Respect
10. KIM WHITE – Dam raced without any success but this daughter of Whitecliffsofdover warrants respect. The market could be our best guide
11. FILLE D’ARGENTINE – Dam was unraced and this filly seems likely to need a few runs before showing something useful. Others preferred
12. SANDON – Dam won twice over 2000m and this filly represents a yard that are capable of getting them ready on debut. Include in the play

Summary: RUE ERNESTINE (6) makes her debut and appears to be a filly that could well know the job first time out and has a pedigree to suggest that she will be a big threat. STARMANIA (8) is a nicely bred individual who ticks a lot of boxes and could be in the firing line. LADY WINNER (5) and TZERKA (9) have stamina in their bloodlines and it would come as no surprise to see them play a role on debut.

C4 – PRIX FRANCOIS VERGEZ – 1400m (a7f) – TURF – Class 2 Race – Flat – EUR €22,000

1. DENISJONH – Finished 8th over 1600m at La Teste in a Class 1 on the 6th of August 2024. Others make more appeal
2. SIYOUKING – Finished well downfield in 12th position over 1500m at Deauville in a divided handicap on the 13th of August 2024.Each way chance
3. GOLUPTIOUS – Facile winner over 1400m at Dax in a handicap on the 20th of August 2024. Include in all bets
4. SOUVENIR D’ECAJEUL – Finished 4th over track/trip behind a reopposing sort in a Class 2 on the 25th of August 2024. Should run well
5. LOR LAGOON – Finished 7th over track/trip in a Class 2 behind a couple reopposing sorts on the 25th of August 2024. Held on form
6. BEAU LINGE – Finished 2nd over 1400m at Mont-De-Marsan in a Class 2 on the 25th of August 2024. Winning chance

8. NICE SPIRIT – Finished 9th over 1400m at Compiegne in a divided handicap on the 12th of June 2024. Would be a surprise winner
9. ECLAIRE LA VIE – Finished 11th over 1600m at La Teste in a Listed event on the 21st of July 2024. Big runner in this class

Summary: ECLAIRE LA VIE (9) has been running against stronger and despite not showing much in those efforts, this is a drop in class and it should see her being one of the leading contenders. BEAU LINGE (6) has been second best at her last two outings and is knocking on the door for that overdue second career victory. SOUVENIR D’ECAJEUL (4) finished behind Beau Linge last time out and meets her on the same weight terms so that form is likely to stay the same. SIYOUKING (2) is better than his last and can show up positively.

1. HURRICANE – Finished 7th over 1400m at Le Lion D’angers in a Class 3 over 1400m on the 9th of August 2024. Big runner on prior form
2. NORDESTE – Finished 3rd over 1600m at La Teste in a Class 3 handicap on the 21st of August 2024. Winning claims
3. REVE DE VALLARSA – Finished 7th over 1600m in Spain on the 18th of August 2024. Hard to recommend
4. INSTRUIT – Finished 7th over 1100m at La Teste in a Class 2 on the 3rd of July 2024. Faces an uphill task
5. JUGANDO – Not seen to best effect in 14th spot over 1500m at Deauville in a Class 2 divided handicap on the 25th of August 2024. Can bounce back best
6. MAIMOUNA – Finished 4th over 1400m in Spain on the 8th of September 2024. Others make more appeal
7. NATURAL PATH – Winner over 1200m at La Teste in a Class 4 value claiming handicap on the 30th of August 2024. Place chance
8. LAUPER – Finished 5th over 1600m at Vichy in a Class 4 value claiming handicap on the 15th of August 2024. Include in the play

10. SILVER SILENT – Runner up over 1600m at La Teste in a Class 3 handicap on the 21st of August 2024. Strong chance
11. ATLANTIGO – Poor effort in 11th spot over track/trip in a Class 3 handicap on the 19th of July 2024. Would be a surprise winner

13. SEGERA – Fair effort in 4th spot over 1200m at La Teste in a Class 4 value claiming handicap on the 30th of August 2024. Minor money chance
14. PAS RADINE – Runner up over 1600m at Pompadour in a Class 4 on the 1st of September 2024. Place chance
15. RAPIDO PRESTO – Finished 9th over 1400m at Vichy in a Class 3 handicap on the 19th of August 2024. One to pass by

Summary: HURRICANE (1) didn’t seem to run to his form last time out and needs to be forgiven for that effort. He brings solid overall form to the table and should go well.  SILVER SILENT (10) and NORDESTE (2) come from the same form line and there should be very little to choose between the two once again with both holding big chances. LAUPER (8) has been running very well against weaker but has the right credentials to be a threat in this.

HURRICANE (1) – SILVER SILENT (10) – NORDESTE (2) – LAUPER (8)

C7 – PRIX DE LA MAISON DU SAUTERNES – 1200m (a6f) – TURF – Claiming – Flat – EUR €15,000

1. SOUTHERN METEOR – No show in 10th spot over 1200m at Deauville in a Class 2 on the 25th of August 2024. Should be more effective here
2. LA BELLE POETE – No show in 12th position over 1400m at Deauville in a Class 2 divided handicap on the 22nd of August 2024. Likely to be a big threat here
3. LAZYM – Finished 9th over 1400m at Parislongchamp in a Group 3 on the 9th of June 2024. Big runner here
4. GOGOKA – Finished 5th over 1000m Vichy in a Class 4 claimer on the 23rd of August 2024. Others make more appeal
5. ORIGEN – Finished 3rd over 1200m in Spain on the 25th of July 2024. Place chance
6. ZOE – Finished 3rd over 1400m in Spain on the 1st of September 2024. More needed on overall form
7. DELIA CHOPE – Finished 5th over 1400m at Dax in a handicap on the 20th of August 2024. Would be a surprise winner
8. SCAR CHOPE – No type of run in 8th spot over 1400m at Dax on the 20th of August 2024. Unlikely to threaten

Summary: LA BELLE POETE (2) has been running against stronger without much success but she has dropped in the ratings and now finds herself in a suitable race which should see her bouncing back to her best. LAZYM (3) is a maiden who was pitched into a Group 3 last time out which was clearly too strong for him but in this claimer, he could break the ice. SOUTHERN METEOR  (1) was a winner two starts back but unfortunately failed to follow it up and could threaten now down in class. ORIGEN (5) debuts in France and he could be competitive.

LA BELLE POETE (2) – LAZYM (3) – SOUTHERN METEOR (1) – ORIGEN (5)

C8 – PRIX PHILIPPE DE WATRIGANT – 2450m (a1m1/2) – TURF – Class 2 Race – Flat – EUR €22,000

1. NIKOLAJ – Runner up over 2100m at Dax in a Class 3 handicap on the 20th of August 2024. Should be in the shake up
2. THE TOP GATSBY – Winner over 2300m at Dax in a Class 2 on the 20th of August 2024. One to beat
3. POCA GEN – Finished 4th over 2400m at La Teste in a Class 3 handicap on the 10th of July 2024. Place chance
4. VERITABLE – Winner over 2000m at La Teste in a Class 2 on the 31st of August 2024. Place chance
5. MONONOF – Finished 5th over 2400m at Clairefontaine in a Class 2 on the 16th of August 2024. Place chance

Summary: THE TOP GATSBY (2) arrives in top form and full of confidence as she looks to reel off a hat-trick. She is the one to beat and should make it three in a row with weight off the back. MONONOF (5) has been running to a consistent level and should be on the premises once again.  NIKOLAJ (1) has been a model of consistency and could upstage the top two if they aren’t on their A game. VERITABLE (4) isn’t the most reliable type but seems very capable and needs to be included.

SELECTIONS
THE TOP GATSBY (2) – MONONOF (5) – NIKOLAJ (1) – VERITABLE (4)
