Summary: HOLD MY HAND (10) has a nice profile and can be expected to play a lead role on her racecourse debut. FRAGANCE (8) is well-bred, her dam is by Frankel and she is from a good stable that will have her well-tuned. DELIRE D’AMOUR (5) has a speedy profile and should be monitored in the betting market for any market support. MADAME LY (6) has a nice pedigree and her dam won three times. She is one to keep safe on debut.
SELECTIONS
HOLD MY HAND (10) – FRAGANCE (8) – DELIRE D’AMOUR (5) – MADAME LY (6)
RACE 2: CHARLES GIRAUDON STAKES (TURF TRACK) (FROM LYON-PARILLY RACE 6) – 2400M – TIME: 20:38 PRIZE MONEY: EUR22000
Summary: GOLDEN CALL (1) can make a winning start to his new season. He was a decent second in a Listed race at Toulouse on his last start in late November. ROCK JOYEUX (6) has a long absence to deal with but is a useful performer and a course and distance winner of a Listed race on his latest outing in October 2023. ZULU WARRIOR (5) has two decent efforts at the end of last year and could be the one that makes the two already mentioned work hard for success.
SELECTIONS
GOLDEN CALL (1) – ROCK JOYEUX (6) – ZULU WARRIOR (5) – PARTENIT (4)
RACE 3: OMNIUM II LISTED STAKES (TURF TRACK) (FROM SAINT-CLOUD RACE 1) – 1600M – TIME: 20:58 PRIZE MONEY: EUR55000
Summary: A small fied but a decent race. NESTHORN (3) returns from a break but does set the standard for the race. He was runner-up in a Group 3 in September and can go one better this time. BATAL YOUMZAIN (1) returns from a short break but was impressive in his win in December and can double up. DARIUS CEN (5) is improving and would not be a surprise winner. MADERO (4) picked up a Listed race last time out and can shine again.
SELECTIONS
NESTHORN (3) – BATAL YOUMZAIN (1) – DARIUS CEN (5) – MADERO (4)
RACE 4: FONDATEURS MAIDEN STAKES (TURF TRACK) (FROM LYON-PARILLY RACE 7) – 1600M – TIME: 21:15 PRIZE MONEY: EUR21000
Summary: THE ANGEL KING (9) has a nice profile, his dam won a Listed race in France over 2000m and he is from a leading trainer. PREMONITION (8) has run well on both of her starts so far and seems to be improving with experience. She can make the selection work hard. PRINCESSE TREZY (7) tends to race freely but is talented and can make the top three. KRASKHOV (1) can step forward from his debut run and be on the premises.
SELECTIONS
THE ANGEL KING (9) – PREMONITION (8) – PRINCESSE TREZY (7) – KRASKHOV (1)
RACE 5: EXBURY STAKES (GROUP 3) (TURF TRACK) (FROM SAINT-CLOUD RACE 2) – 2000M – TIME: 21:33 PRIZE MONEY: EUR80000
Summary: FIRST LOOK (4) has let his surpporters down since finishing second last year in the French Derby. Jockey Mickael Barzalona does duty and he can recoup recent losses. Stable companion SEVENNA’S KNIGHT (1) completes a very strong hand for trainer André Fabre. This colt has been kept over further recently but did finish 5th in Arc de Triomphe last year and would not be a surprise winner this distance. MAP OF STARS (5) and DARING PRINCE (2) are clearly talented and will not go down without a fight.
SELECTIONS
FIRST LOOK (4) – SEVENNA’S KNIGHT (1) – MAP OF STARS (5) – DARING PRINCE (2)
RACE 6: PERRACHE HANDICAP (TURF TRACK) (FROM LYON-PARILLY RACE 8) – 2000M – TIME: 21:50 PRIZE MONEY: EUR20000
Summary: CEDRUS (4) should like the return to this track. He scored over 2200m last year and ran a pleasing race to be third on the PSF on his latest outing. NEVA NEVADA (9) won two runs back over 3200m last month at Cagnes-Sur-Mer. Dropping back in trip is a slight concern but she can be involved. A CANNES (3) scored on his penultimate start on the PSF in January and has winning form on turf. He can make the frame. DSCHINGIS DREAM (1) makes up the shortlist.
SELECTIONS
CEDRUS (4) – NEVA NEVADA (9) – A CANNES (3) – DSCHINGIS DREAM (1)
RACE 7: LA GLORIETTE HANDICAP (TURF TRACK) (FROM SAINT-CLOUD RACE 3) – 2400M – TIME: 22:15 PRIZE MONEY: EUR53000
Summary: IL CAPO (6) is in a purple patch of rom. He will need to overcome two penalties to complete a hat-trick but makes a long trip for this race. DSCHINGIS RANGER (10) will enjoy being back on the turf and is likely to be a serious threat this track and trip. ROUDOUDOU (7) produced a good effort at this track earlier this month and can contest the finish again. BIBBIENA (9) is in very good shape and is clearly not out of it.NARCOS (16) generally goes well at the track and can get a look in.
SELECTIONS
IL CAPO (6) – DSCHINGIS RANGER (10) – ROUDOUDOU (7) – BIBBIENA (9)
RACE 8: BROTTEUX STAKES (TURF TRACK) (FROM LYON-PARILLY RACE 9) – 1600M – TIME: 22:32 PRIZE MONEY: EUR16000
Summary: SHINING YELLOW (9) could be the answer to this open race. She arrives after a decent second-placed run at Fontainebleau 9 days ago. FLEXIBILITY (2) is a consistent performer, with several placed runs of late, and can give a good account of herself. ARCUBIATU (5) ran well to be fourth at Cagnes-Sur-Mer late last month and is one to pay attention to. PETERHOF (6) was a creditable second two starts ago and looks best of the remainder.
SELECTIONS
SHINING YELLOW (9) – FLEXIBILITY (2) – ARCUBIATU (5) – PETERHOF (6)
RACE 9: TERTULLIEN MAIDEN STAKES (TURF TRACK) (FROM SAINT-CLOUD RACE 4) – 2000M – TIME: 22:50 PRIZE MONEY: EUR27000
Summary: A very competitive-looking race. CUALIFICAR (2) showed enough in his two starts last year to get the vote to score. He returns from a break and steps up in distance but can score. More was expected from DALAKIR (1) on debut. That was on the PSF and he is likely to do a lot better on the turf this time. ZINGARO (5) showed promise on debut and has a winning chance. SPANISH BREEZE CEN (6) can go one better this time stepping up in distance.
SELECTIONS
CUALIFICAR (2) – DALAKIR (1) – ZINGARO (5) – SPANISH BREEZE CEN (6)
RACE 10: LA CAMARGO LISTED STAKES (TURF TRACK) (FROM SAINT-CLOUD RACE 5) – 1600M – TIME: 23:25 PRIZE MONEY: EUR55001
Summary: IRON BIRD (8) was behind rival GLAMIS ROAD (6) when they met at this track in November. Both are returning from a break but have shown promise and can fight out the finish. GOLDAUE (7) was not disgraced in her performances in Germany and would not be a surprise winner. FLAMING STONE (5) did not really produce the goods in the UK last year but can be a threat to these rivals.
SELECTIONS
IRON BIRD (8) – GLAMIS ROAD (6) – GOLDAUE (7) – FLAMING STONE (5)
RACE 11: FRANCOIS MATHET LISTED STAKES (TURF TRACK) (FROM SAINT-CLOUD RACE 6) – 2100M – TIME: 00:00 PRIZE MONEY: EUR55000
Summary: AIDAN’S PHONE (2) is clearly improving and impressed in both wins at Cagnes-sur-Mer. He does look the one they all have to beat. INSTANT FRAGILE (6) is unbeaten in two starts last year but is returning from a break and his fitness will need to be taken on trust. WITHOUT (8) looked good when scoring on debut on the PSF but is not out of it. UTHER (7) won well on debut and could be anything.
SELECTIONS
AIDAN’S PHONE (2) – INSTANT FRAGILE (6) – WITHOUT (8) – UTHER (7)
RACE 12: GAILLARDERIE HANDICAP (TURF TRACK) (FROM SAINT-CLOUD RACE 7) – 2400M – TIME: 00:35 PRIZE MONEY: EUR27000
Summary: A very competitove-looking handicap. MARTIAL ART (8) continues to hold form and should be right there at the finish yet again. BARBADIN (5) showed improvement over this distance at Cagnes-sur-Mer last month and has an obvious winning chance. GOOD QUESTION (12) threatened a victory over this track and trip earlier this month and can go one better. CLICCLIC PANPANPAN (13) is in good shape and can make the frame.
SELECTIONS
MARTIAL ART (8) – BARBADIN (5) – GOOD QUESTION (12) – CLICCLIC PANPANPAN (13)
RACE 13: TARENTELLE STAKES (TURF TRACK) (FROM SAINT-CLOUD RACE 8) – 1600M – TIME: 01:10 PRIZE MONEY: EUR23000
Summary: ZRYAN (1) continues to improve and has a decent shot at taking out this lucky last race. He has to carry a 3kg penalty for his latest win. LONDON ROYAL (5) is always competitive and can challenge for top honours yet again. CALAS (8) has won over this track and trip and is clearly not out of it. SAINT AQUILIN (7) returns from a break but does have a winning chance as well.
SELECTIONS
ZRYAN (1) – LONDON ROYAL (5) – CALAS (8) – SAINT AQUILIN (7)
