Summary: MORPHEWAN (2) was a winner of his last start which was at Pau over 2000m in early December. His overall form and ability is good enough to see him to record back-to-back victories. LAZZARO (1) makes the local debut, has been winning and winning well in Germany and could be absolutely anything here. HAVE DANCER (4) made a winning run last time and has to be factored into all bets today. ALWAYS WELCOME (5) always has a first four chance.

RACE 2: CANNES HANDICAP (FIBRESAND TRACK) – 2000M – TIME: 20:55 PRIZE MONEY: EUR53000
Summary: GRAND BALCON (5) finished a good 2nd over this trip in a Marseille Vivaux Class 2 and has every chance of winning this back at a track he relishes. LEPARD (12) was a winner of the penultimate race over 2000m but in a weak claiming race but nevertheless, should be able to go very close iunder a very workable mark. CHARLESQUINT (6) is on a career-low mark and is one for all betting calculations. He can do way better than last few starts suggest. Stablemate AMERICAN FLAG (1) ran well in this division early December and is another short list material as well as VENTS CONTRAIRES (3).

GRAND BALCON (5) – LEPARD (12) – CHARLESQUINT (6) – AMERICAN FLAG (1)
RACE 3: ILES DU FRIOUL MAIDEN STAKES (TURF TRACK) – 1500M – TIME: 21:30 PRIZE MONEY: EUR23000
Summary: THE DOCTOR (5) improved from run one to run two and more than likely has plenty more to offer. He could be a hard horse to oppose. ESCAPE GAME (2) was far from disgraced when just off them in 5th on debut and with natural progression, should get a lot closer. LAITH (8) has placed five from five and can be expected to earn for the connections again. Strong place chance and should win soon. WAKA WAKA (10) is a son of Dabirsim out of a Siyouni mare that could be absolutely anything.

RACE 4: DE LA CORNICHE MAIDEN STAKES (TURF TRACK) – 1500M – TIME: 22:05 PRIZE MONEY: EUR23000
Summary: TXIRIMIRI (5) is showing potential, improved at the second run and rates the filly to fear the most in her first run on turf. VICTORY FOLIE (6) is coming along the right way having placed three from four and should get it all right soon. Bright chance. PRINCESS TREZY (8) has an each way chance. NOCE DE RUBIS (2) made massive progression in her second run and is another one with a live chance.

RACE 5: VAL BORRIGO HANDICAP (FIBRESAND TRACK) – 1300M – TIME: 22:40 PRIZE MONEY: EUR21000
Summary: PURPLE RAIN (1) has been performing well recently without scoring. He was beaten in a photo finish when second on his latest start in mid-December at Marseille Pont De Vivaux. With a favoured draw position, he looks like the one to beat ahead of PINK VALENTINE (2) who has the best draw. If she breaks well from the stalls, she can get a nice position close to the pace. She is a previous course and distance winner. WIND OF CHANGE (4) and RISING UP (7) can also be on the premises.
SELECTIONS
PURPLE RAIN (1) – PINK VALENTINE (2) – WIND OF CHANGE (4) – RISING UP (7)
