France Form Sheet – 10 December
Race Preview
RACE 1: PORCHENE STAKES (FIBRESAND TRACK) – 1600M – TIME: 19:00 PRIZE MONEY: EUR34000
Summary: Experienced INSPIRED IDEA (3) has done little wrong and it could pay to follow his progress. He finished 2nd in a similar course-and-distance contest last month and a repeat of that performance should suffice in this opening event. Last-start winner EL PEQUENIO (2), supplemented BATAL YOUMZAIN (5) and the filly ROMANCE CERTAINE (6) are best equipped to challenge the selection for race honors.
RACE 2: PISTES DE LAMORLAYE HANDICAP (FIBRESAND TRACK) – 1600M – TIME: 19:35 PRIZE MONEY: EUR18000
Summary: LOUVE PRECIEUSE (10) carries a 2,5kg penalty for winning a course-and-distance handicap last month but a repeat of that performance could suffice. ACHKI (16) is more efficient/competitive on turf but has the means to trouble the selection, which can also be said of RUBIS GOLD (3) who would’ve come on from a much-needed comeback outing. PRINCE DES DUNES (12), LE CHAT BOTTE (11) and LARCIN (1) have legitimate podium prospects.
RACE 3: PISTE D’AVILLY HANDICAP (FIBRESAND TRACK) – 1600M – TIME: 20:10 PRIZE MONEY: EUR20000
Summary: LOVE AFFAIR (10) offers the most guarantees on the strength and consistency of her form and she’s good value to reconnect with success here at the expense of SUNSHINEFLED (7), whose last-start 3rd on PSF at Deauville was encouraging, and MONTGAUDRY (6) who can join that fight for victory if confirming/building on the improvement of his last start. SICILIA (1) and IT’S ALL A DREAM (5) complete the shortlist.
RACE 4: PISTE DES LIONS HANDICAP (FIBRESAND TRACK) – 1600M – TIME: 20:55 PRIZE MONEY: EUR53000
Summary: LE FREINAY (10) won a course-and-distance Quinté+ almost a year ago to the day off a similar rating, so he is worth chancing off a 0,5kg lower mark with headgear fitted in his third start after a rest during which he was gelded. HALEINE (7) had legitimate excuses for her disappointing last start (in season) and she retains the means to fight for victory if bouncing back to her earlier form. GUALDA (16) isn’t taken lightly under a lightweight and with cheekpieces retained, while hard-knockers CENTRAL PARK WEST (2) and CHIRIMIRI (1) have genuine podium prospects. LEOPARDUCCIO (8), STAR ROCK (9) and MURCIANO (13) appeal most of the remainder.
RACE 5: SALLE ISABELLE MAIDEN STAKES (FIBRESAND TRACK) – 1400M – TIME: 21:30 PRIZE MONEY: EUR22000
Summary: SPEEDSTER (3) showed signs of inexperience on debut. He did quicken nicely at the end of that race and can go one better this time. HANTANO (8) was only modest in a handicap last time out but has run some decent races and should contest the finish. SPRING HEART (10) is in good form and can get into the mix of things as well. MELANIES JOY (6) has some fair UK form and is not out of it.
RACE 6: L’ENGUERANDE HANDICAP (FIBRESAND TRACK) – 1600M – TIME: 22:05 PRIZE MONEY: EUR22000
Summary: ORANGE VIF (3) flopped on a heavy track last time out but is clearly capable of better and did run well at this track before that. SIMONS KING (7) is improving and it would not be a surprise were he to go one better this time. PRAIRIE GLORY (12) was just behind SIMONS KING (7) last time out and can be competitive as well. GO LOVE (6) is also in good form and has a winning chance.
RACE 7: PELOUSE AUX YEARLINGS HANDICAP (FIBRESAND TRACK) – 1600M – TIME: 22:40 PRIZE MONEY: EUR27000
Summary: LE ROCKEUR (6) remains in good form and likes this track. A confident pick. BOZZO (5) is holding form and should contest the finish over a course and distance that suits. CALYPSO (3) has improved of late and should not be too far away at the line once again. OPIANA (17) has a good draw and could be a threat attempting start to finish tactics.
