Race Preview
RACE 1: KERAUTEM STAKES (TURF TRACK) (FROM ANGERS RACE 1) – 2000M – TIME: 18:20 PRIZE MONEY: EUR27000
Summary: MERANO (1) won nicely at this track last time in a Class 2 race and has a leading
chance of following up. MOUNTAIN RIDGE (3) got the job done last time at Les Sables in a maiden
and can improve from that and make his rivals work hard. PETITFLEURDECHAMPS (6) won her
maiden on her third run at Le Mans recently and seems on the up. SEONA (5) looks best of the
remainder.
SELECTIONS
MERANO (1) – MOUNTAIN RIDGE (3) – PETITFLEURDECHAMPS (6) – SEONA (5)
RACE 2: MERCALLE STAKES (TURF TRACK) (FROM ANGERS RACE 2) – 2000M – TIME: 18:51 PRIZE MONEY: EUR16000
Summary: VENROM FAL (2) made a pleasing debut when she was second on this track at the
end of October. She will make nice progress from that effort and is preferred to a well-bred
newcomer in BEST DANCE (11) who will be well-tuned for a bold show on her first day at school.
CERVINIA (1) was a good fourth on her latest outing at Lyon Parilly in a handicap and can make
the frame. DREAM FILLY (3) makes up the shortlist.
SELECTIONS
VENROM FAL (2) – BEST DANCE (11) – CERVINIA (1) – DREAM FILLY (3)
RACE 3: G.DE LA CELLE MAIDEN STAKES (TURF TRACK) (FROM ANGERS RACE 3) – 2000M – TIME: 19:23 PRIZE MONEY: EUR16000
Summary: PERIHELIO (4) has shown plenty of talent on both runs when third on each of them.
He can make progress from his latest run in late October and is preferred to SAKHALINE (2) who
has been fifth on both of his runs. The latter was when he was ridden a bit too far back and made
late progress. DSCHINGIS GALILEI (9) has a nice profile and can be on the premises on his debut.
SIRIUS BROWN (13) is also making his debut and is one to watch in the betting for any support.
SELECTIONS
PERIHELIO (4) – SAKHALINE (2) – DSCHINGIS GALILEI (9) – SIRIUS BROWN (13)
RACE 4: LA MAINE HANDICAP (TURF TRACK) (FROM ANGERS RACE 4) – 4000M – TIME: 19:55 PRIZE MONEY: EUR20000
Summary: KALEO CAESAR (4) has been in good shape this year, with three wins so far. His only
unplaced effort of late was at Parislongchamp recently in late October but he can bounce back to
form in this event. His main rival could be GARRICK HARMONY (7) who shaped well when he was
fourth last time and won at Jarnac in September. STALLONE (6) looks like a sensible option for
the each-way backers. STEP MORNING (5) makes up the shortlist.
SELECTIONS
KALEO CAESAR (4) – GARRICK HARMONY (7) – STALLONE (6) – STEP MORNING (5)
RACE 5: GD PX D’ANGERS STAKES (TURF TRACK) (FROM ANGERS RACE 5) – 3000M – TIME: 20:27 PRIZE MONEY: EUR30000
Summary: SIR SILJAN (8) should thrive for the slightly extended trip today after scoring at
Compiegne over 2800m when last seen on October 10th. TIC TAC (6) is a course and distance
winner on his latest start in late October and can once again give a good account of himself.
HAVRAS (4) merits consideration and can be on the premises. LE LAVANDOU (7) was second
two runs ago at Clairefontaine and can be involved at the business end.
SELECTIONS
SIR SILJAN (8) – TIC TAC (6) – HAVRAS (4) – LE LAVANDOU (7)
RACE 6: KALEE STAKES (TURF TRACK) (FROM ANGERS RACE 6) – 2300M – TIME: 21:12 PRIZE MONEY: EUR24000
Summary: LIBRE PENSEE (2) has improved with each of her three runs so far and won nicely at
Durtal on her latest outing at the start of this month. She is marginally preferred to LORMA (10)
who was not quite up to Group 3 AQ class last time but was a good second before that in early
October and can make her presence felt. LA VILLA D’ESTE (7) won on her debut and will improve
for that experience. LIBERTE D’ESPRIT (1) also warrants respect and can make the frame.
SELECTIONS
LIBRE PENSEE (2) – LORMA (10) – LA VILLA D’ESTE (7) – LIBERTE D’ESPRIT (1)
RACE 7: ANC. BATTERIE HANDICAP (FIBRESAND TRACK) (FROM LYON LA SOIE RACE 1) – 1800M – TIME: 23:35 PRIZE MONEY: EUR17000
Summary: CAPTAIN DE CERISY (3) has proven to be very effective over this track and trip in the
past. His recent form is a worry but he can bounce back to score. ARFAN (4) has usually finished
well over a short distance so could like this distance and be a threat. AGOUREIL (5) is very
consistent and would not be a surprise winner. SUPER ZOOM (13) has won at this course and
nearly won last time out so is another to consider.
SELECTIONS
CAPTAIN DE CERISY (3) – ARFAN (4) – AGOUREIL (5) – SUPER ZOOM (13)
RACE 8: PERVENCHES MAIDEN STAKES (FIBRESAND TRACK) (FROM LYON LA SOIE RACE 2) – 1800M – TIME: 00:10 PRIZE MONEY: EUR23000
Summary: NALIA (6) was certainly not disgraced when fifth last time in a Group 3 in Germany.
That form should be good enough to set the standard of this particular race. REALITY CEN (13)
was not disgraced in her two starts. This longer distance could suit her. DANSE ETOILEE (1) ran
well from an unfavourable draw last time out and should do a lot better this time. GALA CEN (12)
could show vast improvement on a debut in heavy going.
SELECTIONS
NALIA (6) – REALITY CEN (13) – DANSE ETOILEE (1) – GALA CEN (12)
RACE 9: POSTE CHEVAUX HANDICAP (FIBRESAND TRACK) (FROM LYON LA SOIE RACE 3) – 1800M – TIME: 00:45 PRIZE MONEY: EUR15000
Summary: A competitive looking handicap. SIR WALTER (3) is capable of a decent finish when in
the mood and could pick off a field like this. A STOLEN KISS (12) showed improvement last time
out and was an unlucky loser at Chantilly in September. She can certainly go one better this time.
TRUST ON ME (13) is usually competitive but does have a bad stall. CALAS QUEEN (10) won
well last time out and can double up.
SELECTIONS
SIR WALTER (3) – A STOLEN KISS (12) – TRUST ON ME (13) – CALAS QUEEN (10)
RACE 10: CHATAIGNIERS MAIDEN STAKES (FIBRESAND TRACK) (FROM LYON LA SOIE RACE 4) – 1800M – TIME: 01:21 PRIZE MONEY: EUR23000
Summary: CHAUNCEY GARDINER (9) is knocking hard at the door with some good recent
runner-up performances. He tries the PSF this time after a change of trainer but can go one better.
UPPERCUT (8) only found one better on the day on debut and should be a serious threat. VAN
DIEMEN (3) is usually competitive and can fight it out once again. PINK MONDAY (2) could show
good improvement trying the PSF.
SELECTIONS
CHAUNCEY GARDINER (9) – UPPERCUT (8) – VAN DIEMEN (3) – PINK MONDAY (2)
RACE 11: PEROUGES STAKES (FIBRESAND TRACK) (FROM LYON LA SOIE RACE 5) – 1800M – TIME: 01:56 PRIZE MONEY: EUR16000
Summary: COCKTAIL DRESS (3) ran a good race in a Class 1 in her last effort. She holds
tremendous form and in this field, she is a massive contender. THE FIRST DANCE (8) takes on a
field that could find her being more competitive. She could certainly make her presence felt. THAT’S
LIFE (10) is lightly raced this year and carries light weight. She could definitely finish closer at the
firing line. ROAD TO ESCONDIDO (7) has had only 3 starts in her career. She is drawn well,
shoulders a nice weight and could be the surprise package.
SELECTIONS
COCKTAIL DRESS (3) – THE FIRST DANCE (8) – THAT’S LIFE (10) – ROAD TO
ESCONDIDO (7)
RACE 12: ST-PRIEST HANDICAP (FIBRESAND TRACK) (FROM LYON LA SOIE RACE 6) – 2150M – TIME: 02:28 PRIZE MONEY: EUR20000
Summary: ARTURO (10) is no stranger to the course, he takes on a field that could find himself
more competitive and expecting him to finish closer. VAZIR (3) has featured over the course and
distance, he holds form that sparks attraction and is a massive contender in this lineup. CLEOD’OR
(6) is consistent and not out of it. ANCTOT (1) is a consistent veteran and could find himself in the
shake up.
SELECTIONS
ARTURO (10) – VAZIR (3) – CLEOD’OR (6) – ANCTOT (1)
