Race Preview

RACE 1: MONT SAINT-MICHEL HANDICAP (FIBRESAND TRACK) – 2500M – TIME: 20:55 PRIZE MONEY: EUR53000

Summary: CASSIUS (2) ran a remarkable race over the course and distance in his last start and
with a similar performance, he could be hard to beat. CENTRICAL (3) is A PLAYER as well as he
has tasted the surface and trip and ran a good race last time from a tricky draw. He will certainly
make his presence felt. KALEO PALACE (4) must not be ignored as he did not enjoy the best of
trip last time and can finish closer today. ALERIO (15) has a first three chance, as does I’M A
BELIEVER (12) who is confirmed in this class of event.

SELECTIONS
CASSIUS (2) – CENTRICAL (3) – KALEO PALACE (4) – ALERIO (15)

RACE 2: CUIGNY CLAIMING STAKES (FIBRESAND TRACK) – 1300M – TIME: 21:30 PRIZE MONEY: EUR19000

Summary: GLOBAL VENTURE (5) has tasted victory in his penultimate start when breaking his
maiden tag. He did take on a tougher field in his last start but now faces an opposition where he
could make another winning performance. EAGLE GATE (1) holds admirable form and he will
definitely gives this field a good go. RED TOO HOT (12) is certainly not out of it and has a top
three chance. MARVIN OF SUCES (2) is well placed in the weight.

SELECTIONS
GLOBAL VENTURE (5) – EAGLE GATE (1) – RED TOO HOT (12) – MARVIN OF SUCCESS
(2)

RACE 3: BORNEL CLAIMING STAKES (FIBRESAND TRACK) – 1500M – TIME: 22:05 PRIZE MONEY: EUR16000

Summary: MOUTARDE (2) is a one time winner and has always produced an honest run at
Deauville. He is confidently selected to snatch his second career victory. SASSICA (4) holds
steady form and has a bright chance taking a drop in class too. FAIS NOUS PLAISIR (7) runs for
the first time in a claimer and must be given some consideration. KARELIA (9) is worth a good
look in.

SELECTIONS
MOUTARDE (2) – SASSICA (4) – FAIS NOUS PLAISIR (7) – KARELIA (9)

RACE 4: SENTIER DU LITTORAL MAIDEN STAKES (FIBRESAND TRACK) – 1900M – TIME: 22:40 PRIZE MONEY: EUR22000

Summary: MORE DREAM (3) ran an absolute cracker on debut when finishing second over the
course and distance and is confidently selected to go one better. MEAUTIS (2) holds steady form
and hasn’t been too far off the action which brings him right into it. GARVEY (4) is certainly
capable of finishing closer after a good first run on fibersand and can earn a cheque. DARNYA
(5) is lightly raced and can be given some thoughts as well.

SELECTIONS
MORE DREAM (3) – MEAUTIS (2) – GARVEY (4) – DARNYA (5)

RACE 5: BOURGEAUVILLE CLAIMING STAKES (FIBRESAND TRACK) – 1900M – TIME: 23:15 PRIZE MONEY: EUR19000

Summary: MYCONIAN (6) is more than capable of scoring in a race of this nature. He won on
his debut at Saint-Cloud in 2023 when trained by Amy Murphy and ran well on his first run for
new connections at Pornichet late last month in a claimer. His main threat could be PRINCESSE
SAPHIR (2) who was a cosy winner over course and distance earlier this month. SOUL AND
ROMANCE (1) was back in second in the same race and can be involved. NIGHT ACTION (8) is
also worth a mention.

SELECTIONS
MYCONIAN (6) – PRINCESSE SAPHIR (2) – SOUL AND ROMANCE (1) – NIGHT ACTION (8)

RACE 6: MAISON DE L’ARTICHAUT HANDICAP (FIBRESAND TRACK) – 2500M – TIME: 23:53 PRIZE MONEY: EUR22000

Summary: LEPTI PRINSADI (1) has a leading chance of defying top weight in this open
handicap. He acts well on the PSF and can give a good account of himself. FEE DU VIVIEN (3)
could be the one who gives the selection the most to do after a decent fourth over course and
distance 9 days ago. GRAND LEON (6) looks like a sensible option for the each-way backers to
latch on to. AHA (13) has a decent racing weight and can not be discounted.

SELECTIONS
LEPTI PRINSADI (1) – FEE DU VIVIEN (3) – GRAND LEON (6) – AHA (13)

RACE 7: MAISON DE LA TRUIE QUI FILE HANDICAP (FIBRESAND TRACK) – 2500M – TIME: 00:28 PRIZE MONEY: EUR20000

Summary: BELLE (9) was a pleasing second over course and distance in late November in a
Class 4 handicap and will be expected to go one better this time. FULL COLOUR (4) has decent
track form and was second two starts ago over course and distance late last month. She can
make her rivals work hard. FRENCH DIVA (8) warrants respect and is among the leading
chances each way. LE GARDOLOT (2) makes up the shortlist.

SELECTIONS
BELLE (9) – FULL COLOUR (4) – FRENCH DIVA (8) – LE GARDOLOT (2)

RACE 8: STATUE DE L’ARCHANGE HANDICAP (FIBRESAND TRACK) – 2500M – TIME: 01:03 PRIZE MONEY: EUR27000

Summary: QUALIAND (7) is a recent course winner in late November and looks like the most
sensible option in a competitive handicap. RUE DE L’AUDE (1) could be the one that gives the
selection the most to think about. She was beaten in a photo-finish recently at this track and
warrants respect. THIRSTY (5) was a decent third over course and distance on his penultimate
start in late October and is one to pay attention too. MARTIAL ART (16) heads the remainder.

SELECTIONS
QUALIAND (7) – RUE DE L’AUDE (1) – THIRSTY (5) – MARTIAL ART (16)
