RACE 1: DES BLEUETS CLAIMING STAKES (FIBRESAND TRACK) – 2000M – TIME: 18:51 PRIZE MONEY: EUR16000
Summary: LINDERHOF (1) was not up to Class 2 last time at this track 17 days ago but was a
winner over 2000m before that in a handicap in November on the PSF. She can score in this dropin class. Her main threat could be SURBOUM (5) who showed promise when she was sixth in a
maiden race on her sole start 12 days ago at this racecourse on the turf. JUST FOR GAB’S (10)
looks like the one to be with each way after a good second at Lyon La Soie recently. LOUIS DEUX
(2) heads the remainder.

RACE 2: DE L’ESTRAGON CLAIMING STAKES (TURF TRACK) – 1500M – TIME: 19:23 PRIZE MONEY: EUR16000
Summary: SLEEPY SUZY (1) won nicely two starts ago in a Class 3 event at Clairefontaine in late
October and will be expected to give a good account of herself here. LARNO (6) is a capable
performer and although he has been a tad below par of late, he warrants respect off his current
rating. VENTS CONTRAIRES (4) is the each-way angle in the race. TALISMAN TOUCH (3) is also
worth considering.

RACE 3: DE MONS CLAIMING STAKES (FIBRESAND TRACK) – 1600M – TIME: 19:55 PRIZE MONEY: EUR15000
Summary: MANOIR (2) looked like he needed the race 10 days ago at this track and is best judged
on his win over 1800mon the PSF in late October. He can score from the likely main threat
TOLLEVAST (5) who won a Class 3 claimer at Saint-Cloud in October and has not been disgraced
in three runs since that success. HOUSTON STREET (4) is one for the each-way backers to latch
on to. MISSOURI (6) is also worth considering.

RACE 4: DU MERCANTOUR HANDICAP (FIBRESAND TRACK) – 1300M – TIME: 20:27 PRIZE MONEY: EUR21000
Summary: WHY CHOPE (10) has been knocking at the door on her last two runs and deserves to
get her head back in front after a decent second-placed run at this track 5 days ago, less than a
length behind in fourth was DADDY’S GIRL (4) who looks like the main danger, as they meet on
similar terms. SWEET AS (9) is one to include in all of the place bet permutations. TOLLARD
ROYAL (5) has the speed for this trip despite scoring over 1500m in October on the PSF. He heads
the remainder.

RACE 5: DE RAMATUELLE HANDICAP (FIBRESAND TRACK) – 1300M – TIME: 21:12 PRIZE MONEY: EUR25000
Summary: KIZMAMBO (6) has been steadily dropping in the ratings and has run two pleasing
seconds at his last two outings. He looks well placed to win again and is the one to beat. ELUSIVE
FOOT (9) has been erratic of late but always tends to pop up and having finished close up last time
out, he could have a say at the finish. VICTORY SALUTE (4) is another that isn’t too reliable but
has the ability and could get involved. WONDER BOY (2) ran against stronger last time out and will
be in the firing line once again.

RACE 6: DES ILES DES EMBIEZ MAIDEN STAKES (TURF TRACK) – 2400M – TIME: 21:47 PRIZE MONEY: EUR16000
Summary: STATESWOMAN (9) met winners last time out and could be ready to strike back
against maidens. She is improving and is a big runner. DREAM OF HOPE (11) produced a pleasing
run on local debut and should improve even further now going over ground and should go close.
LADY TURNER (10) showed up very well on debut and needs to be forgiven for a rather
disappointing last performance and she will be involved. OHIME (1) returns off a long break but if
not needing it too much then he could place.
SELECTIONS
STATESWOMAN (9) – DREAM OF HOPE (11) – LADY TURNER (10) – OHIME (1)
RACE 7: DE BOGEVE HANDICAP (FIBRESAND TRACK) – 2000M – TIME: 22:22 PRIZE MONEY: EUR21000
Summary: ARTURO (2) won a gusty race last time out and that win may have boosted his
confidence which could aid in him following up in a similar race. PERROU (10) was a clear 2nd
best last time out but has a light weight to shoulder which should see him fighting it out. AL ALAALI
(5) is far better than a rather indifferent latest effort and could run into the money. INATTENDU (3)
is capable of a lot better and could feature.
SELECTIONS
ARTURO (2) – PERROU (10) – AL ALAALI (5) – INATTENDU (3)
RACE 8: DU COL DU CLAPIER HANDICAP (FIBRESAND TRACK) – 2000M – TIME: 22:57 PRIZE MONEY: EUR25000
Summary: ALPAGE (3) arrives in sparkling form and goes in search off a hat-trick which he could
certainly pull off with a bit of luck in transit. VAZIRPOUR (4) is back in France and when judged on
his form here, he could get involved at this level. KHOCHENKO (6) showed up well last time out
and with a repeat performance, he could go close. FORCE TRANQUILLE (5) has the right type of
credentials and should be there at the finish.

ALPAGE (3) – VAZIRPOUR (4) – KHOCHENKO (6) – FORCE TRANQUILLE (5)
