RACE 1: PHILIPPE DE WATRIGANT STAKES (FIBRESAND TRACK) (FROM PAU RACE 6) – 2400M – TIME: 21:12 PRIZE MONEY: EUR14000
Summary: UGATZAI (6) ran a good race at Pornichet late in December on his latest start when he was fourth and is preferred to ICONIC STARS (8) who has been supplemented for this race. He was third at this track recently in a Class 4 race 6 days ago. EL KALBITO (7) was back in fifth just over one length behind her 6 days ago and can make the top three. POPPIE SAN (10) is also worth considering in a race that will not take much winning.
SELECTIONS
UGATZAI (6) – ICONIC STARS (8) – EL KALBITO (7) – POPPIE SAN (10)
RACE 2: DE LOUVIE-JUZON MAIDEN STAKES (FIBRESAND TRACK) (FROM PAU RACE 8) – 2000M – TIME: 22:22 PRIZE MONEY: EUR13000
Summary: TRADE HONOR (7) has been knocking at the door on his last two runs when second on both starts. He is the tentative selection in an open race. BAFFI (2) could be the main danger. He was a pleasing second at Pornichet 18 days ago and has several placed efforts last year over various trips. COSMOPOLITAINE (10) could be a good option for the each-way backers. CHAI D’OEUVRE (4) should have a say in proceedings.
SELECTIONS
TRADE HONOR (7) – BAFFI (2) – COSMOPOLITAINE (10) – CHAI D’OEUVRE (4)
RACE 3: DU CARREFOUR DE CORMIER HANDICAP (FIBRESAND TRACK) (FROM DEAUVILLE RACE 1) – 1900M – TIME: 22:57 PRIZE MONEY: EUR23000
Summary: TAMYZ (3) had been knokcing on the door for that maiden victory and finally got it all right once stepped up in trip. Despite dropping back down to 1900m, he has the right type of form that could see him win again. NOOTKA BAY (4) has been holding steady form and enjoys it around here so needs to be included in everything. HONEY BADGER (6) finished just behind the reopposing Honey Badger last time out and there shouldn’t be much to seperate them once again so is another that can go close. TANTOMILE (5) bounced back to winning ways last time out and with her confidnece restored, she could be a serious threat.
SELECTIONS
TAMYZ (3) – NOOTKA BAY (4) – HONEY BADGER (6) – TANTOMILE (5)
RACE 4: DU CARREFOUR CHARLET HANDICAP (FIBRESAND TRACK) (FROM DEAUVILLE RACE 2) – 1900M – TIME: 23:32 PRIZE MONEY: EUR21000
Summary: MISTER JULES (4) arrives in solid form and having won on his last run for 2024, he could be ideally poised to strike and make it two wins from his last three outings. LUCY GALESTE (1) is seldom far off the action and now gets the services of Maxime Guyon which could see her running a big race. HAUTE GAMME (5) wasn’t disgraced last time out and if he reproduces his penultimate run when winning, he could be a factor. ANIELSKA (7) is always about the action and should be on the premises once again.
SELECTIONS
MISTER JULES (4) – LUCY GALESTE (1) – HAUTE GAMME (5) – ANIELSKA (7)
RACE 5: DES DUNES DE BIVILLE HANDICAP (FIBRESAND TRACK) (FROM DEAUVILLE RACE 3) – 1500M – TIME: 00:07 PRIZE MONEY: EUR23000
Summary: HAPPY AGAIN (7) is far better than what he produced last time out and should be judged on his previous four runs which saw him win twice and finish second twice. HANTANO (2) hasn’t been too far off the action but his best effort came in a handicap so the conditons of the race suit him and he needs to be respected. MASTER PAT (3) showed very good improvement to win last time out and with some confidence on his side, he could folow up. MARILLAWOOD (5) just found one too good last time out and should be in the shake up.
SELECTIONS
HAPPY AGAIN (7) – HANTANO (2) – MASTER PAT (3) – MARILLAWOOD (5)
RACE 6: DE LA MARE DE VAUVILLE HANDICAP (FIBRESAND TRACK) (FROM DEAUVILLE RACE 4) – 1500M – TIME: 00:42 PRIZE MONEY: EUR21000
Summary: MEISHO VELITE (1) is better than her rather indiffernet latest outing and with weight off the back along with a steady rating drop, she could run a big race. JIJI MY LOVE (13) has produced her best efforts at her last two starts and looks ready to win. TIGER KING (6) was a winner two starts back over a similar trip and with a repeat performance, he should be in the firing line. IHOA (10) is a well tried maiden but keeps one interested for the minor positions.
SELECTIONS
MEISHO VELITE (1) – JIJI MY LOVE (13) – TIGER KING (6) – IHOA (10)
RACE 7: DE L’AURE HANDICAP (FIBRESAND TRACK) (FROM DEAUVILLE RACE 5) – 2500M – TIME: 01:20 PRIZE MONEY: EUR18000
Summary: ARGYRON (12) is yet to win at Deauville but has performed well enough at this venue to suggest he’ll play a leading role in this wide-open handicap. AHA (11), competitive off her current mark, and FASHIONSPAN (1), who was unlucky not to have achieved a better result last time, lead the opposition ahead of consistent SOGYNT (3) and LE GARDOLOT (15), an attractive outsider under a lightweight.
SELECTIONS
ARGYRON (12) – AHA (11) – FASHIONSPAN (1) – SOGYNT (3)
RACE 8: DE L’AURETTE HANDICAP (FIBRESAND TRACK) (FROM DEAUVILLE RACE 6) – 2500M – TIME: 01:55 PRIZE MONEY: EUR15000
Summary: GOLD PALACE (4), runner-up in a Chantilly handicap last time, wouldn’t be winning out of turn. He deserves a reward for his consistency. MOMOUR (14) made an eye-catching Chantilly return and will have a say in the outcome if repeating that performance. BELLE (5) ran a good race over the course and distance two starts ago and is one to consider as well. EL INGRATO (8), TYTAN (13) and LADY LOU (6) are competitive for the podium too.
SELECTIONS
GOLD PALACE (4) – MOMOUR (14) – BELLE (5) – EL INGRATO (8)
RACE 9: CLAUDE LEPONNER CLAIMING STAKES (FIBRESAND TRACK) (FROM DEAUVILLE RACE 7) – 2500M – TIME: 02:27 PRIZE MONEY: EUR16000
Summary: ORION ROCK (1) has proven his aptitude/efficiency on this surface recently and is good value to reconnect with success. Adrien Fouassier has 2 strings to his bow, with in-form HUTTON (8) and LORENZO DE MEDICI (4), who shouldn’t be hastily condemned for a disappointing last outing. Veteran NABUNGA (7) who was unlucky over this course & distance two starts ago is an attractive outsider.
SELECTIONS
ORION ROCK (1) – HUTTON (8) – LORENZO DE MEDICI (4) – NABUNGA (7)
