France Form Sheet – 28 November
Race Preview
RACE 1: JULES MORGAN MAIDEN STAKES (TURF TRACK) – 2000M – TIME: 18:51 PRIZE MONEY: EUR23000
Summary: ZARAKCHIC (3) caught the eye on debut (3rd) at ParisLongchamp and finished ahead
of subsequent Fontainebleau winner Le Roi Leon, so he needn’t improve a great deal with that
experience under the belt to open his account. However, JO FRANÇAIS (4) fits a similar profile
and a repeat performance of his Bordeaux 2nd should see Jean-Claude Rouget’s charge fight for
victory. Others with podium ambitions include unexposed PRADO (2), improving CAMELOR (7)
and LE PROFESSIONNEL (5) after an encouraging introduction.
SELECTIONS
ZARAKCHIC (3) – JO FRANCAIS (4) – PRADO (2) – CAMELOR (7)
RACE 2: MARINA JACQUIN STAKES (TURF TRACK) – 2000M – TIME: 19:23 PRIZE MONEY: EUR30000
Summary: YAKAMOUN (8) impressed when winning a course-and-distance event on her
reappearance in late September and, with scope for further improvement after a subsequent break,
it could pay to follow her progress. FUTURE FATE (1) sets a good standard and has references at
a higher level. He has the form and experience to play a leading role so will challenge the selection
for race honours. Progressive last-start Quinté+ winner NOBLEMAN (4) and consistent filly
L’HOTELLERIE (5) aren’t taken lightly and have legitimate podium ambitions.
SELECTIONS
YAKAMOUN (8) – FUTURE FATE (1) – NOBLEMAN (4) – L’HOTELLERIE (5)
RACE 3: FLORENCE FORNERON MAIDEN STAKES (TURF TRACK) – 2000M – TIME: 19:55 PRIZE MONEY: EUR23000
Summary: SHAKY NAK (3) displayed a willing attitude on debut when staying on gamely to finish
4th after racing forward from a wide berth. She would’ve benefitted from that experience and, with
any improvement, will be competitive for victory. FELINA (7) also caught the eye last time when
finishing an encouraging 4th in her first start on French soil. She, too, is open to improvement so
will play a leading role. PRINCESSE GALILEE (8) and GINALYAH (1), who are closely matched
on their debut meeting, and BLANCHE SACREE (10), who didn’t go unnoticed first-up, appeal most
of the remainder.
SELECTIONS
SHAKY NAK (3) – FELINA (7) – PRINCESSE GALILEE (8) – GINALYAH (1)
RACE 4: DE PARISLONGCHAMP STAKES (TURF TRACK) – 2400M – TIME: 20:27 PRIZE MONEY: EUR22000
Summary: HAVE DANCER (4), despite finishing unplaced in consecutive recent starts, is
favourably treated under these conditions and ought to appreciate switching back to the turf. He
acquitted himself well enough in both comeback outings on PSF to suggest he retains the means
to win a race of this nature, especially on favourable weight terms despite his reduced mark.
AMELIELYMPIQUE (5) will give cheek to the selection in defence of her 100% record (2 from 2) at
this track. She leads the opposition ahead of NEPALAIS (2), who benefits from his rider’s 2,5kg
allowance, and hard-knocker I’M A BELIEVER (3).
SELECTIONS
HAVE DANCER (4) – AMELIELYMPIQUE (5) – NEPALAIS (2) – I’M A BELIEVER (3)
RACE 5: GERARD SAMOUN HANDICAP (TURF TRACK) – 2400M – TIME: 21:12 PRIZE MONEY: EUR20000
Summary: HASTA LA VISTA (1) arrives in sparkling form and has been doing a lot right of recent.
He gets weight off the back which could see him proving hard to beat. TERRE BLANCHE (3) found
one too good last time out but has the right type of form to mount a challenge and could pick up
the pieces if the favorite were to fluff his lines. SISTERLAND (2) finished well behind the top pick
last time out and it’s hard to see her reversing the form but she can place. IL CAPO (8) continues
to hold form and can run another consistent race.
SELECTIONS
HASTA LA VISTA (1) – TERRE BLANCHE (3) – SISTERLAND (2) – IL CAPO (8)
RACE 6: DE L’ASSOCIATION DES ELEVEURS DU SUD-EST HANDICAP (TURF TRACK) – 2400M – TIME: 21:47 PRIZE MONEY: EUR16000
Summary: HE’S A ROCK STAR (8) has finished second at three of his last four outings and could
well end that string of seconds in this. He is well treated and rates the one to beat. SYLVER SAMBA
(7) finished just behind the top pick last time out and despite finding herself 3kgs worse off at the
weights, she has the right form to win in a race of this nature. BUSINESS PLAN (6) ran her best
race in a while and seems to be back on the right track which should see her being competitive.
RIMBAULT (2) continues to hold his form and will be right in the thick of things.
SELECTIONS
HE’S A ROCK STAR (8) – SYLVER SAMBA (7) – BUSINESS PLAN (6) – RIMBAULT (2)
RACE 7: DENIS BENSUSSAN HANDICAP (TURF TRACK) – 2400M – TIME: 22:22 PRIZE MONEY: EUR20000
Summary: VEULES (3) let the side down with a rather indifferent performance but can bounce
back to best and needs to be respected. ZOOM CHOP (1) ran against stronger last time out and is
well placed to make his presence felt in a big way. INTO FAITH (9) is holding form very nicely and
looks to be set to run well as he chases another win this year. HENRY THE LION (2) is seldom far
off the action and needs to be included.
SELECTIONS
VEULES (3) – ZOOM CHOP (1) – INTO FAITH (9) – HENRY THE LION (2)
