RACE 1: DES COQUELICOTS CLAIMING STAKES (FIBRESAND TRACK) – 1600M – TIME: 18:28 PRIZE MONEY: EUR16000
Summary: NEW WAY BABY (9) is a solid performer in this grade of race. She was a pleasing third last time out and scored before that over 1500m on the PSF in November. She holds a leading chance ahead of another filly with a good level of form in claiming events in LILAROSE (3) who has been acquitting herself well in handicaps of late. SILVER TOWER (1) has each-way claims after a nice second at Deauville recently. WICKBURY (2) heads the remainder.
SELECTIONS
NEW WAY BABY (9) – LILAROSE (3) – SILVER TOWER (1) – WICKBURY (2)
RACE 2: DE COGOLIN MAIDEN STAKES (TURF TRACK) – 2150M – TIME: 18:59 PRIZE MONEY: EUR23000
Summary: BEAUTIFUL MESS (2) ran a nice race on her only start at Pau in late November when she was fifth in a field of sixteen runners. She will be wiser for that experience and can be expected to get off the mark. SURBOUM (8) has a nice profile and should know what is required on her first day at school. She could be the main threat. BELLA VITA (6) is also making her debut and can be on the premises. BLANCHE SACREE (3) is also worth considering.
SELECTIONS
BEAUTIFUL MESS (2) – SURBOUM (8) – BELLA VITA (6) – BLANCHE SACREE (3)
RACE 3: DU VAL CAREI HANDICAP (FIBRESAND TRACK) – 2000M – TIME: 19:31 PRIZE MONEY: EUR17000
Summary: SURPRIZE ME (6) was a good second two runs back at Marseille Pont De Vivaux in early December and looks like the one to be with. She handles most types of surfaces. PRINCE LOS (7) could be the one that makes the selection work the most for success. DRAGON LOVE (1) returns after an absence of over 6 months but should be ready to give a good account of herself. MARCAN (3) looks the best of the others.
SELECTIONS
SURPRIZE ME (6) – PRINCE LOS (7) – DRAGON LOVE (1) – MARCAN (3)
RACE 4: DU SERPOLET HANDICAP (TURF TRACK) – 2150M – TIME: 20:03 PRIZE MONEY: EUR21000
Summary: POMELEO (2) has been placed on his last four runs and looks overdue for another success. He is the tentative selection ahead of APOPHTEGME (1) who won at Deauville over 2500m on his last start early this month. He should be fine with the drop back in trip. MALYA (6) warrants respect and is capable of a top-three finish. ARLINO (10) has made the frame on his last three runs and can once again be involved at the business end.
SELECTIONS
POMELEO (2) – APOPHTEGME (1) – MALYA (6) – ARLINO (10)
RACE 5: DE GRIMAUD MAIDEN STAKES (TURF TRACK) – 2150M – TIME: 20:40 PRIZE MONEY: EUR23000
Summary: AIDAN’S PHONE (4) has run two solid races on both of his starts. He was second at Saint-Cloud on the latest of them in mid-November and should be good enough to get a deserved success. His main rival could be DIEGO BELLO (5) who was a recent third at Lyon La Soie over 2150m 12 days ago. He will not lack for fitness and looks progressive. PRADO (2) seemed unsuited by the track last time and is probably better than that run. DIEGO BELLO (5) makes up the shortlist.
SELECTIONS
AIDAN’S PHONE (4) – DIEGO BELLO (5) – PRADO (2) – CAMELOR (10)
RACE 6: DE TOURRETTES-SUR-LOUP HANDICAP (TURF TRACK) – 3200M – TIME: 21:15 PRIZE MONEY: EUR25000
Summary: TURANIA (4) has shaped well on his last two runs and was a pleasing fourth at Deauville on the most recent outing over 3400m at the start of this month. He is a marginal choice ahead of SAINT LANGIS (12) who races from the foot of the handicap and can be forgiven for his last run and is best judged on his three runs before that. BARBADIN (8) looks like the best each-way option. I’M ON MY WAY (9) is one to include in all of the place bet permutations.
SELECTIONS
TURANIA (4) – SAINT LANGIS (12) – BARBADIN (8) – I’M ON MY WAY (9)
RACE 7: DU PETIT JUAS HANDICAP (FIBRESAND TRACK) – 2000M – TIME: 21:50 PRIZE MONEY: EUR20000
Summary: SON VIDA (3) is the tentative selection in an open race. She was a credible fourth in a conditions race on the PSF on her latest start 9 days ago. Her main danger could be BEIJINHO (2) who was a decent second on his last start at Marseille Pont De Vivaux earlier this month. LEJENDARIO (9) is also worth considering and can not be ruled out of the frame. PERROU (12) was a good second two runs back and can be on the premises.
SELECTIONS
SON VIDA (3) – BEIJINHO (2) – LEJENDARIO (9) – PERROU (12)
RACE 8: DES VALLIERES HANDICAP (TURF TRACK) – 2150M – TIME: 22:32 PRIZE MONEY: EUR25000
Summary: AMERICAN GLORY (3) has been in top shape in the Autumn with two wins, the latter of them came at Saint-Cloud in late October in a Class 3 handicap. She will be fit after a short break and ready to go. SKIMBLESHANKS (5) can be a live threat. He shaped well when third last time in mid-December and has been running well during 2024 without a win. PROBABLY ME (7) and ROOFTOP (1) both warrant respect and are hard to rule out of the frame.
SELECTIONS
AMERICAN GLORY (3) – SKIMBLESHANKS (5) – PROBABLY ME (7) – ROOFTOP (1)
