Summary: VARENNE (5) has shown plenty of talent on his three runs and is the tentative selection for this conditions race. His main threat could be VERMEER (4) who was a pleasing third on his sole run over 1600m at the end of November at this track. He will improve a good deal for that experience. JEALOUS SKY (9) looks like one for the each-way backers to take seriously. VIF DE BOISTRON (2) makes up the shortlist.

RACE 3: DU HOME STAKES (FIBRESAND TRACK) (FROM DEAUVILLE RACE 1) – 2500M – TIME: 23:07 PRIZE MONEY: EUR16000
Summary: LE GAST (8) ran a cracker last time over the course and distance when finishing third against Class 3 opposition. He now takes on a field that will see him demolishing his opponents and find himself the horse to beat. LHOMMAIZE (9) has won over the course and distance in January 2024 and hasn’t won since then. If he brings his last effort into this race, he can certainly pose a winning threat. SOGYNT (1) hasn’t been far off the action and should be fighting it out with a bit of luck in transit. FASHIONSPAN (3) if her penultimate start is repeated, will be a huge lurker in the mix.

LE GAST (8) – LHOMMAIZE (9) – SOGYNT (1) – FASHIONSPAN (3)

FIRTH OF FIFTH (9) has run third over the course and distance in her last start and definitely has a bright chance. CHICA DE CIUDAD (6) was a winner over the course and distance in her last start but does take on a much stronger field but we can expect another good performance. NOOTKA BAY (2) can be in the mix.

Summary: BATAVIUS (9) comes into the race with eye-catching form when running second over the course and distance last time out and could certainly go one more. AFRIQUE ADIEU (8) has tasted the course and distance in his last three starts, he now understands the surface and looks to be a mighty threat in this lineup. ORFEO (5) was a winner in his penultimate start at Deauville over the 1900m and definitely has a top three chance. ANIELSKA (2) is not out of it and can contend at the finish.

MERCURISSIME (2) was a victor in his last start over 1300m at Deauville and certainly poses to be a huge threat in this lineup. ORANGE VIF (1) needs to find a new lengths for the win but has a place chance. DZARINA (5) can be forgiven for her last two runs and should finish in the first four.

Summary: SAGANNE (9) has been a model of consistency in the maiden ranks but is overdue a victory which doesn’t seem far away. She gets weight off the back which will be of assistance and she should go very well. IRIDIA (8) finished just behind the top choice last time out but with a repeat effort, she won’t be far off once again. LOVE HER (10) is open to good improvement and should have more to offer with some experience on her side. PAINTELLO (3) hasn’t been seen for a while but can feature on prior form.

RACE 8: DU PHARE CLAIMING STAKES (FIBRESAND TRACK) (FROM DEAUVILLE RACE 6) – 1300M – TIME: 02:02 PRIZE MONEY: EUR16000
Summary: DROIT DE PAROLE (1) arrives in sparkling form having won three times from his last four attempts and is looking to reel off a hat-trick. He has a big weight to shoulder but sets the standard and can win again. NO DAY NEVER (5) returns to French soil after a fairly successful stint in Germany and could make an immediate impact. MRS HOLIDAY (8) is seldom far off the action and has the right type of form to get involved. ZEPLACETOBE (9) doesn’t arrive in great form but continues to drop in the ratings which could see her showing a return to form.
