France Form Sheet – 5 October
Race Preview
RACE 1: QATAR PRIX DE LA PLACE DE LA CONCORDE (HANDICAP) (TURF TRACK) (FROM PARISLONGCHAMP RACE 4) – 1600M – TIME: 21:15 PRIZE MONEY: EUR75000
Summary: CLIMATE CHANGE (9) caught the eye when 4th in the Quinté+ of 25 August and he
will appreciate softer ground, so could find himself fighting for victory with HARRY WAY (11). The
latter impressed at La Teste 2 starts back and wasnt disgraced, despite finishing unplaced (6th),
in his most recent outing. HALF HALF (8) has enjoyed rich success in this category and shouldn’t
be hastily condemned for his latest faux pas. AMERICAN FLAG (3) cannot be underestimated on
his reappearance, especially given an attractive opening handicap mark. The shortlist is
completed by CHIRIMIRI (7), DOURIANN (6) and WE RIDE THE WORLD (2).
SELECTIONS
CLIMATE CHANGE (9) – HARRY WAY (11) – HALF HALF (8) – AMERICAN FLAG (3)
RACE 2: ARQANA SERIES – HARAS DE BOUQUETOT CRITERIUM D’AUTOMNE STAKES (TURF TRACK) (FROM PARISLONGCHAMP RACE 5) – 1600M – TIME: 21:50 PRIZE MONEY: EUR260000
Summary: ONE EYE JACK (4) overcame a tardy start to make a winning debut and did so easier
than the margin of victory may suggest. He’s awkwardly drawn in a wide barrier but looked
potentially useful when scoring at Haydock last month, so it could pay to follow his progress.
MOUNT KILIMANJARO (5) isn’t exactly bred to be precocious but has revealed sufficient
means/ability to acquit himself competitively, especially over this extended distance which should
serve his interests. RELAXX (11) shouldn’t be hastily condemned for finishing unplaced in a
strong renewal of the Group III Prix d’Aumale and isn’t without a chance, which also applies to
debut winner FLY HALF (3), whose latest outing over this distance was encouraging.
SELECTIONS
ONE EYE JACK (4) – MOUNT KILIMANJARO (5) – RELAXX (11) – FLY HALF (3)
RACE 3: QATAR PRIX DANIEL WILDENSTEIN (GROUP 2) (TURF TRACK) (FROM PARISLONGCHAMP RACE 6) – 1600M – TIME: 22:25 PRIZE MONEY: EUR200000
Summary: ALCANTOR (9) was not disgraced in the Group 1 at Chantilly in June and if fit from
his break he is the one to beat. This shorter distance suits him well. PENALTY (5) was impressive
in Germany last time out and could be a threat. MARHABA YA SANAFI (1) seems better at this
course and does have ability so deserves respect. CARAMELITO (3) has made good progress
this year and should be right there at the finish
SELECTIONS
ALCANTOR (9) – PENALTY (5) – MARHABA YA SANAFI (1) – CARAMELITO (3)
RACE 4: QATAR PRIX DOLLAR (GROUP 2) (TURF TRACK) (FROM PARISLONGCHAMP RACE 8) – 1950M – TIME: 23:35 PRIZE MONEY: EUR200000
Summary: A small field but a cracking race. ANMAAT (3) returned from a lengthy break as well
as ever and may have even improved. Clearly the one to beat. JAYAREBE (6) shows talent and
is capable of improvement so deserves respect. CALIF (1) is at the top of his game and will be
chalelnging for top honours. MY PROSPERO (4) is also in good form and is a possible winner as
well.
SELECTIONS
ANMAAT (3) – JAYAREBE (6) – CALIF (1) – MY PROSPERO (4)
RACE 5: QATAR PRIX DE LA PLACE DES VOSGES (HANDICAP) (TURF TRACK) (FROM PARISLONGCHAMP RACE 9) – 2500M – TIME: 00:10 PRIZE MONEY: EUR75000
Summary: A tough lucky last race that may be won by a three-year-old. PAY TO LEARN (3) has
shown promise winning half his starts but this will be his first handicap. NEWLOOK (9) won a
handicap very nicely last time out but picked a 4kg penalty for that win so it will be a tougher task
this time around. UTAMARO (11) ran well over a similar distance at this track last time out and
can go one better. CASSIUS (5) could be returning to his best form and is clearly not out of it.
SELECTIONS
PAY TO LEARN (3) – NEWLOOK (9) – UTAMARO (11) – CASSIUS (5)
