RACE 1: DES ROMARINS CLAIMING STAKES (FIBRESAND TRACK) – 1400M – TIME: 19:34 PRIZE MONEY: EUR16000
Summary: KING PATH (3) could relish the drop-in trip after a solid effort of over 1500m in a better
race earlier this month on the PSF. He is marginally preferred ahead of NIGHT OF LIGHTNING (2)
who is versatile and scored over 1200m on the turf at Marseille Borely in October in a Class 3
handicap. ZOFFWALTZ (8) is also dropping in trip after a few runs over 2000m recently. She can
make the top three. WHISTLE AND FLUTE (6) heads the remainder.

RACE 2: SKY LAWYER STAKES (TURF TRACK) – 2150M – TIME: 20:09 PRIZE MONEY: EUR30000
Summary: STARNBERG (3) was unbeaten in three runs last year. The latest win was in a Class
2 at Marseille Borely over 2000m in November. He will be ready to go. STEF LE MAGNIFIQUE (5)
is a promising colt and was a good second on his second start at Deauville in a Class 2 race when
last seen in late November. He can make things interesting with the selection. KILLARY KING (6)
won over course and distance earlier this month and warrants respect. HERMES WOOD (2) is also
worth considering.

RACE 3: DE MARSEILLE HANDICAP (TURF TRACK) – 1500M – TIME: 20:55 PRIZE MONEY: EUR53000
Summary: In an open handicap, it may pay to side with AMORCITA (10) who won over course
and distance in February last year. She is best judged on recent form on her run three runs back
when fourth at Chantilly, rather than two tepid efforts of late. YAKAMOUN (9) could be the main
danger. She scored two starts ago at Salon Provence in a Class 2 race in late September.
REVERSO (1) can be on the premises despite having to deal with top weight. KOVEL (2) heads
the remainder.

RACE 4: LA CANEBIERE HANDICAP (TURF TRACK) – 1500M – TIME: 21:30 PRIZE MONEY: EUR22000
Summary: RECONSTRUCTED (6) is returning after 9 weeks away. His last run was when second
in a handicap at Fontainebleau in early November and he will be expected to get off the mark. His
main danger could be FOR WIN (2) who is also looking for his first success. He ran a credible race
last time out in December and was fourth in a handicap before that. HINAT (1) looks like a safe
each-way option. NOBLE COTAI (5) is also worth a mention.

RACE 5: BONNARD MAIDEN STAKES (FIBRESAND TRACK) – 2000M – TIME: 22:05 PRIZE MONEY: EUR23000
Summary: KLYCOT (9) will be expected to make a winning debut. His dam was a useful performer
who won twice and was placed in Listed races. He can score from PUMBA (7) who was second at
this track on her debut 7 days ago. She can make the selection work hard for success. ESCAPE
GAME (1) showed improvement to be fourth 12 days ago at this track and should like the step up
in trip today. WAKA WAKA (5) can improve from his debut fifth at this track 10 days ago.

RACE 6: YVES BACHELIER HANDICAP (TURF TRACK) – 1500M – TIME: 22:40 PRIZE MONEY: EUR27000
Summary: ROSE ACADEMY (1) has been shaping up for a return to the winner’s enclosure and
was a pleasing third over 1400m at Chantilly when last seen in late December. TOPY’SIM (7) was
seventh at this track earlier this month in a handicap and can be on the premises. ROMANCE
MARINE (8) looks like a sensible option for the each-way backers to look at. ELUSIVE GLORY (9)
is also worth considering and should be involved.

Summary: MAGNETIQUE (6) is racing off a good racing weight and acquitted himself well when
he was sixth on his latest start at this track 7 days ago in a handicap. He is a marginal choice ahead
of DALIAPUR (3) who was ahead of the selection in fourth place when they met 7 days ago.
SYLVER SAMBA (1) is the one to be with each -way and was a solid second two runs back in
December. LE KAKOU (10) makes up the shortlist.

RACE 8: SUD HANDICAP (TURF TRACK) – 2150M – TIME: 23:50 PRIZE MONEY: EUR20000
Summary: FRENCH DEFENSE (12) has stumbled down the weights and was a good third at this
track 9 days ago. He has become well-handicapped and can score from NARCOS (1) who has
form at this track and was a credible third three runs back in mid-November in a handicap at
Fontainebleau. MOMO NELSON (9) is one for all of the each-way backers to look at. AMARHALEN
(11) is also worth considering from an each-way perspective.
