RACE 1: MONTAUT MAIDEN STAKES (FIBRESAND TRACK) (FROM PAU RACE 1) – 1600M – TIME: 19:00 PRIZE MONEY: EUR21000
Summary: MARQUES (1) has shown talent in all three of her starts. She has been third on all
three of them over various trips. Her best run was probably when she raced over this trip of 1600m
on her second start in October. She can score from MARMARA (4) who looks like the main danger.
She was a pleasing second on her sole start-over track and trip early last month. KIMBIA (3) is also
worth considering and can have a say in proceedings. MAKE IT RIGHT (2) heads the remainder.
SELECTIONS
MARQUES (1) – MARMARA (4) – KIMBIA (3) – MAKE IT RIGHT (2)
RACE 2: D’IROULEGUY MAIDEN STAKES (FIBRESAND TRACK) (FROM PAU RACE 3) – 1600M – TIME: 20:10 PRIZE MONEY: EUR21000
Summary: MAYISKI (5) has shown more than enough ability in his two runs to take this race. His
most recent effort was over track and trip when he was beaten in a photo finish on December 5th.
He should get off the mark from the likely main threat in GUSTAN (6) who ran well when he was
fifth at this track over 2000m in mid-December. He will improve from that experience. LACHOP (1)
has shown talent and can make the frame. O MEIGO (3) makes up the shortlist.
SELECTIONS
MAYISKI (5) – GUSTAN (6) – LACHOP (1) – O MEIGO (3)
RACE 3: ELIE PICONE HANDICAP (FIBRESAND TRACK) (FROM PONT DE VIVAUX RACE 1) – 1500M – TIME: 23:52 PRIZE MONEY: EUR20000
Summary: BLANC BLEU (7) is in good form and gets a narrow vote to score in a very difficult
opening event. IDEE DE CHEVAL (4) remains in very good shape and will not go down easily.
ALEXEJ (5) returns from a break but does well on this surface and is not out of it. HOXTON (2) has
not been seen since February but she is capable of getting into the thick of things despite the layoff.
SELECTIONS
BLANC BLEU (7) – IDEE DE CHEVAL (4) – ALEXEJ (5) – HOXTON (2)
RACE 4: JEAN NUCERA HANDICAP (FIBRESAND TRACK) (FROM PONT DE VIVAUX RACE 2) – 1500M – TIME: 00:27 PRIZE MONEY: EUR16000
Summary: COLBY CHOP (2) showed improvement when third at this track last month. It is a very
competitive handicap today but he can score if he turns up at the top of his game. POLIVATE (10)
ran well at Deauville two weeks ago and will be a threat to these runners. SOAN (9) is threatening
to win at this course and deserves respect. TOUTELUSIVE (8) bounced back with a reasonable
effort last time out and could do even better this time.
SELECTIONS
COLBY CHOP (2) – POLIVATE (10) – SOAN (9) – TOUTELUSIVE (8)
RACE 5: REINE JEANNE HANDICAP (FIBRESAND TRACK) (FROM PONT DE VIVAUX RACE 3) – 2600M – TIME: 01:02 PRIZE MONEY: EUR18000
Summary: ANTARES (9 ) likes this course and is in good shape. She takes on her elder
counterparts this time but gets a confident vote to score. INTERSTELLA (1) had a very good last
year, winning five times and can start 2025 earning more money. DREAM OF EMERAUDE (12)
carries a penalty for a nice handicap win but could have what it takes to defy the penalty. DOCTEUR
TOURNESOL (7) likes this track and can make the frame too.

RACE 6: GENERAL BONNAFE HANDICAP (FIBRESAND TRACK) (FROM PONT DE VIVAUX RACE 4) – 2600M – TIME: 01:37 PRIZE MONEY: EUR16000
Summary: SURPRIZE ME (5) is in good form and only found one a bit better on the day last time
out at this track. The step up in distance can suit her. DREAM ANGEL (8) scored over this course
& distance last time out and would not be a surprise winner once again. MORNING SPIRIT (7) was
not disgraced last month when fourth and can contest the finish. SUCCUBA (13) is fit and can earn
some money.

RACE 7: PRIMEVERES MAIDEN STAKES (FIBRESAND TRACK) (FROM PONT DE VIVAUX RACE 5) – 2000M – TIME: 02:11 PRIZE MONEY: EUR21000
Summary: ANTICIPATION ZERO (7) has only had just the two runs and she was not disgraced in
both of them. She does set the standard for those runners that have raced before. MIVANA (9)
makes her debut and she could prove to be a lively danger if ready for this. GET BARAKA (4) has
been fair at this track and can contest the finish. SUNNY (2) showed improvement last time out and
could have more to offer.

ANTICIPATION ZERO (7) – MIVANA (9) – GET BARAKA (4) – SUNNY (2)
