RACE 1: CARQUEIRANNE MAIDEN STAKES (TURF TRACK) – 1000M – TIME: 18:50 PRIZE MONEY: EUR23000

Summary: REMENBER CHOPE (10) looks speedily bred and can be expected to make a bold
show on her debut. THE BLACK STONE (2) is from a good stable and will be well-prepared for his
debut run. He could be the main threat. WHITE NIGHT (3) looks the part on paper and her trainer
is good with newcomers. She will know what is required. TEMADIVA (8) might need further in time
judged on her pedigree, although her dam was a useful winner in Pattern race class.

SELECTIONS
REMENBER CHOPE (10) – THE BLACK STONE (2) – WHITE NIGHT (3) – TEMADIVA (8)

RACE 2: PIERRE MAUREL STAKES (TURF TRACK) – 1700M – TIME: 19:20 PRIZE MONEY: EUR22000

Summary: STEF LE MAGNIFIQUE (5) could be the answer to this competitive Class 2 race. He
was a pleasing second in a Class 1 race on his latest start in late January and should not be
inconvenienced by the drop back in trip. ZARAKCHIC (3) won nicely in a maiden at Salon Provence
on his last start in November and is promising. DIOPTASE (4) has also done nothing wrong in two
runs and should like the step up to 1700m. DYNAMITIC (2) looks best of the remainder.

SELECTIONS
STEF LE MAGNIFIQUE (5) – ZARAKCHIC (3) – DIOPTASE (4) – DYNAMITIC (2)

RACE 3: LA BOSQUE HANDICAP (TURF TRACK) – 2600M – TIME: 19:50 PRIZE MONEY: EUR20000

Summary: HASTA LA VISTA (1) has been in top form recently with four wins in 2024 and a good
third on his latest start in a competitive handicap in February at Cagnes-Sur-Mer. He is preferred
over BACK TO BLACK (2) who has been placed on his last two starts, the latter over 2000m in a
Class 2 handicap when third in mid-February. INTERSTELLA (5) ran well when fourth recently and
has each-way claims. MOZART DES BRIERES (6) is also worth considering for a place.

SELECTIONS
HASTA LA VISTA (1) – BACK TO BLACK (2) – INTERSTELLA (5) – MOZART DES BRIERES
(6)

RACE 4: FONT ROUSSE MAIDEN STAKES (TURF TRACK) – 2000M – TIME: 20:27 PRIZE MONEY: EUR21000

Summary: FEVE (5) ran a nice race on her debut at Toulouse earlier this month and she will be a
lot more streetwise after that experience. She can improve and gets the vote ahead of
THORGALLE (3) who shaped well to be third at Cagnes-Sur-Mer in late February on her last start.
ARTMAGIC (7) looks good on paper and this daughter of Zarak should be monitored in the betting
market for any support. FLEUR DE LIS (8) is also making her debut and could be anything.

SELECTIONS
FEVE (5) – THORGALLE (3) – ARTMAGIC (7) – FLEUR DE LIS (8)

RACE 5: DE L’ESTAQUE MAIDEN STAKES (TURF TRACK) – 2000M – TIME: 21:12 PRIZE MONEY: EUR21000

Summary: ATAMAK (1) showed very good improvement last time out and with him learning on the
job, he could produce a big effort which should see him in the firing line. BLACK BOSS (2) ran a
super race on debut having just found one too good and with natural improvement, he will have a
say in the outcome. HIDDEN ASSETS (10) represents a trainer that is flying this year with a 22%
winning strike rate and he could know the business first up. MOON SEA (11) makes appeal on
pedigree and could be in the shake up if not too green on debut.

SELECTIONS
ATAMAK (1) – BLACK BOSS (2) – HIDDEN ASSETS (10) – MOON SEA (11)

RACE 6: LA BUISONNE HANDICAP (TURF TRACK) – 1200M – TIME: 21:47 PRIZE MONEY: EUR17000

Summary: RECONNECT (1) hasn’t fired up against stronger and with her easing in grade, that
should see her return to form. She continues to drop in the ratings and is 5 points lower than her
last winning mark. HAARICIA (12) produced two cracking efforts over track/trip in her previous
outings and if able to reproduce that form in this event, she will be a big player. MAFALDA STORY
(4) has the right form at this level and should be a factor in the outcome. HY DREAM (6) hasn’t
been producing anything useful of late but with her rating dropping, she could pop up.

SELECTIONS
RECONNECT (1) – HAARICIA (12) – MAFALDA STORY (4) – HY DREAM (6)

RACE 7: MASSIF ETOILE HANDICAP (TURF TRACK) – 2000M – TIME: 22:22 PRIZE MONEY: EUR16000

Summary: RED COUNTESS (2) is holding steady form and continues to threaten for that next
victory which appears to be around the corner. MAKENO (5) was a winner two starts back here
and despite finishing a comfortable 3rd last time out, he could certainly return to winning ways.
CROCUS BORGET (10) has been a fairly consistent performer for connections but winning does
come at a premium for him and he looks set to earn a minor position. TERRE SACREE (9) has
produced some solid efforts but hasn’t been the most reliable sort. On best form, she could threaten.

SELECTIONS
RED COUNTESS (2) – MAKENO (5) – CROCUS BORGET (10) – TERRE SACREE (9)
