RACE 1: HAUTEURS SOLLE CLAIMING STAKES (TURF TRACK) – 1100M – TIME: 20:22 PRIZE MONEY: EUR19000
Summary: GALLIUS (2) ran well in a stronger race when he was fifth in a handicap 7 days ago
over 1200m. He has plenty of speed and has won over 1000m last year, so today’s trip is not an
issue. REUX (1) is dropping back in trip after a decent third in a claimer over further last time. He
can be competitive. MAHJONG (4) ran well when fourth in a maiden race on his penultimate start
and has place claims. WILD MOOR (7) makes her debut and is one to watch in the betting for
clues.
SELECTIONS
GALLIUS (2) – REUX (1) – MAHJONG (4) – WILD MOOR (7)
RACE 2: EDITH DE BRETIZEL STAKES (TURF TRACK) – 2600M – TIME: 20:54 PRIZE MONEY: EUR16000
Summary: SOUL OF FREEDOM (2) is a reliable performer who won twice on the turf in late
January and early February. He was not disgraced on his last handicap run at the same track when
not beaten far over the same track. He is preferred over BAKHCHISARAY (5) who has been placed
on his last three starts and looks ready to win. MEASTER OWEN (4) was a pleasing second over
track and trip last time and can make the frame. BREATH OF FIRE (1) stays well and is worth
considering.

RACE 3: DES BARNOLETS STAKES (TURF TRACK) – 1100M – TIME: 21:37 PRIZE MONEY: EUR27000
Summary: KERAN (1) has not been seen since the Poule D’Essai Des Poulains (Gr.1) when he
faded to finish last. He was a good second before that in a Group 3 race in April last year and has
been found a nice race to make a winning return. LESSLEPASSER (3) won over 1000m in a Class
2 on his latest start and will be ready having been off since November. TERRITORYWAR (4) will
like the trip and can be involved. LE CADEAU (2) can be in the mix and should not be overlooked.
SELECTIONS
KERAN (1) – LESSLEPASSER (3) – TERRITORYWAR (4) – LE CADEAU (2)
RACE 4: DES TROIS MASSIFS MAIDEN STAKES (TURF TRACK) – 1400M – TIME: 22:09 PRIZE MONEY: EUR27000
Summary: TIME GOES ON (6) has not been since a pleasing debut second over 1400m at
Compiegne last June. She can be expected to improve from that run and her trainer will have her
ready for this return run. WITH ZEST (9) ran well on her debut at Newmarket when second. She
was trained by Sir Michael Stoute , but has now transferred to France following his retirement.
VALENTIA ISLAND (8) and PRINCE AUBOIS (3) are both talented and can fight for minor honours.

TIME GOES ON (6) – WITH ZEST (9) – VALENTIA ISLAND (8) – PRINCE AUBOIS (3)
RACE 5: DES FOUGERES HANDICAP (TURF TRACK) – 1400M – TIME: 22:41 PRIZE MONEY: EUR20000
Summary: RECONSTRUCTED (1) heads the handicap and has been running consistently without
a win recently. He is the tentative selection ahead of BEAUTYFULL EYES (2) who got off the mark
over 1600m at this track in a handicap 11 days ago and is hard to rule out. L’ELU DE SADDLE (7)
was second at Marseille Borely ahead of the main selection last time out. He is the each-way option
and still seeking a win after twenty-five runs. SUMMER FLIRT (10) makes up the shortlist.

RACE 6: DES AJONCS HANDICAP (TURF TRACK) – 1400M – TIME: 23:15 PRIZE MONEY: EUR22000
Summary: ROMANCE MARINE (1) won over this distance back in November and is threatening
to score again after some promising recent handicap runs. FOR WIN (11) has yet to win a race but
does make the trip as the only runner for Marseile-based trainer Nicolas Perret so deserves the
utmost respect. FORTUNATE SON (3) has been competitive off higher marks than this one and is
not out of it. BRAVO PAPA (7) can also get involved the finish.

RACE 7: DES PEUPLIERS HANDICAP (TURF TRACK) – 2000M – TIME: 23:49 PRIZE MONEY: EUR25000
Summary: Trainer Fabrice Chappet has a decent hand to play for this race. VICTORY WIND (4)
has been unreliable but did run well in a handicap last time out and can go one better this time.
DUCHESSE DE MORNY (7) has yet to win a race and has to prove herself as good on the turf but
she is quite capable of scoring. HOT AND BEAUTY (5) will like it back on the turf and can fight out
the finish. AVANT L’ORAGE (3) showed last season that he stays well and is also capable of
shining.

L’ORAGE (3)
RACE 8: DU ROCHER DES DEMOISELLES HANDICAP (TURF TRACK) – 2000M – TIME: 00:35 PRIZE MONEY: EUR20000
Summary: A competitive handicap. MANDLEFT (4) has done best in claimers of late but did win a
handicap off a higher mark than this in November and can bounce back to score. STEPASIDE
BELL (10) has been doing well on the PSF of late but is even better on the grass so has a huge
chance. LOVELY MISS (8) is not easy to trust but does win every now and then and is clearly
capable of scoring again. SOHO VICKY (5) has run well for this jockey before and could spring a
surprise.
SELECTIONS
MANDLEFT (4) – STEPASIDE BELL (10) – LOVELY MISS (8) – SOHO VICKY (5)
RACE 9: DES SEQUOIAS HANDICAP (TURF TRACK) – 2000M – TIME: 01:10 PRIZE MONEY: EUR22000
Summary: RIDWAAN (2) has done well of late on the PSF but is in good form and gets a narrow
vote to score back on his favorite surface. MOMO NELSON (6) is unreliable but is proven on the
turf and can bounce back to score.AQUILON (1) has struggled of late but has run well under the
very much in-form Cristian Demuro. The supplemened FRENCH DEFENSE (16) is definitely worth
a good look in.
SELECTIONS
RIDWAAN (2) – MOMO NELSON (6) – AQUILON (1) – FRENCH DEFENSE (16)
