RACE 1: DE CAUCADE MAIDEN STAKES (TURF TRACK) – 1500M – TIME: 20:11 PRIZE MONEY: EUR23000
Summary: GRECIAN COMET (5) could be the answer to this newcomer’s race. She looks to be
the first string of the Rouget-trained pair judged on jockey bookings. ASHERAH (2) the mount of
Antonio Orani has a nice profile and is expected to be competitive. ISNEAUVILLE (1) is out of a
mare who scored three times in the UK over middle distances and warrants respect. BORNAWAY
(7) is out of a smart mare who won at Listed Class, she is worth watching in the betting.
SELECTIONS
GRECIAN COMET (5) – ASHERAH (2) – ISNEAUVILLE (1) – BORNAWAY (7)
RACE 2: DU LANGUEDOC HANDICAP (FIBRESAND TRACK) – 2000M – TIME: 20:55 PRIZE MONEY: EUR53000
Summary: GANASS (2) is the tentative selection in this open handicap. He likes the PSF and is
well drawn in stall 2 to get a nice position in the early part of the race. FOREVER GIVEN (5) has
yet to win but he has several placed efforts and looks ready to get his head in front. GANT (8) looks
like a good option for the each-way backers to take seriously. GOWAY (4) is also worth considering
and can make the top four.
SELECTIONS
GANASS (2) – FOREVER GIVEN (5) – GANT (8) – GOWAY (4)
RACE 3: ALBERT TATON STAKES (TURF TRACK) – 2150M – TIME: 21:30 PRIZE MONEY: EUR26000
Summary: ARROW EAGLE (2) was highly tried last year. When pitched into the Prix Du Jockey
Club (Gr. 10) in June, he was not up to the class, but he was placed in a Listed race on his latest
start in September and should be ready for this outing. COMME QUOI (1) can be competitive and
looks like the one that could give the selection the most to do. He won a Class 1 on turf in October.
PESTACLE (3) is also respected and can feature. INSTANTANEMENT (6) heads the remainder.

RACE 4: DE FABRON STAKES (TURF TRACK) – 1500M – TIME: 22:05 PRIZE MONEY: EUR23000
Summary: DIOPTASE (5) has a nice profile and can make a winning debut under Cristian Demuro.
His threat could be the other Jean Claude Rouget colt GRECIAN DESTINY (8) could be smart
judged on his pedigree. His dam was Listed placed in Italy. MARSIHO (7) has a choice pedigree
and his dam was a classy mare who won 3 races, including a Group 2, and was second in a Group
1 race. MOMO D’ARGENT (10) is also one to keep safe and monitor in the betting.

DIOPTASE (5) – GRECIAN DESTINY (8) – MARSIHO (7) – MOMO D’ARGENT (10)
RACE 5: LOUIS GAUTIER VIGNAL STAKES (TURF TRACK) – 1500M – TIME: 22:40 PRIZE MONEY: EUR26000
Summary: STUPOR MUNDI (3) can be forgiven for the last run which was in a Group 3 and judged
on her winning earlier form. She is the filly to beat. SILIUS (1) comes into the race of a high rating
and has strong each way claims. Last race was a Listed one at Deauville and he was victorious
before that at Angers. GOOD SPEED (6) is lightly raced and clearly has ability. He should be in the
first three. PELINIA (2) has already won twice from only four starts and the last two runs were in
Listed company despite a few months ago in Italy.
SELECTIONS
STUPOR MUNDI (3) – SILIUS (1) – GOOD SPEED (6) – PELINIA (2)
RACE 6: DE ROQUEFORT-LES-PINS HANDICAP (FIBRESAND TRACK) – 2000M – TIME: 23:15 PRIZE MONEY: EUR28000
Summary: Fitted with blinkers for the first time, CLAPTON (3) gets the services of Maxime Guyon.
He has taken well to the fibersand and should be good enough to dispose of this field. MASTER
CATH (2) impressed when winning a Handicap over 2000m at Lyon Parilly in November and can
follow up. Respect and include. CERVINIA (4) has placed six time from nine starts and, again, can
place today. SHAKY NAK (1) is a natural inclusion for the quartets.
SELECTIONS
CLAPTON (3) – MASTER CATH (2) – CERVINIA (4) – SHAKY NAK (1)
RACE 7: DU ROUSSILLON HANDICAP (FIBRESAND TRACK) – 2000M – TIME: 23:50 PRIZE MONEY: EUR27000
Summary: KYLOA (1) boasts some very attractive form and caught the eye when finishing 3rd at
Salon de Provence over 1800m in a Handicap in late November. She could be a hard horse to
oppose. MY OWN WAY (3) is taking time to get it all right but is earning along the way. Each way
chance. ROAST CHESTNUT (2) is banging loudly at the door by running second a lot and would
be deserving if winning this. HARRY GOLD (4) is always there and thereabouts and should, as
always, be in the firing line again.

KYLOA (1) – MY OWN WAY (3) – ROAST CHESTNUT (2) – HARRY GOLD (4)
