RACE 1: DANY SCHNEIDER MAIDEN STAKES (TURF TRACK) (FROM STRASBOURG RACE 1) – 2000M – TIME: 17:15 PRIZE MONEY: EUR21000
Summary: An interesting opening race. SEDANO (11) is well bred and has an entry for the
Group 1 Prix du Jockey Club so would not be a surprise winner on debut. AKIDO (10) is also well
bred and lookd ready for this debut. MY SECRET LIGHT (2) has done best of the runners in this
race that have previous experience and could contest the finish again trying the turf. PIZ PALU
(9) is another well related newcomer that can score on debut.
SELECTIONS
SEDANO (11) – AKIDO (10) – MY SECRET LIGHT (2) – PIZ PALU (9)
RACE 2: DU HAUT-RHIN HANDICAP (TURF TRACK) (FROM STRASBOURG RACE 2) – 2350M – TIME: 17:45 PRIZE MONEY: EUR16000
Summary: TREVOR SENORA (3) last won a handicap off a similar mark and has been in good
form of late. He is the one to be with. DREAM WUKAIR (5) has held form on the PSF of late. She
has won over this course and distance before and will be a serious threat. MANDOKI (2) has
struggled of late but is not out of it on best form. KALEOBAYANE (10) will be fitter this time and
can be competitive in this line-up.
SELECTIONS
TREVOR SENORA (3) – DREAM WUKAIR (5) – MANDOKI (2) – KALEOBAYANE (10)
RACE 3: DU BAS-RHIN HANDICAP (TURF TRACK) (FROM STRASBOURG RACE 3) – 2350M – TIME: 18:15 PRIZE MONEY: EUR18000
Summary: ZAMNESIA (7) has shown good improvement this year. She carries a 2.50kg penalty
for an easy last win but may well follow up. WARELIA (1) has done well around this distance so
perhaps her last two runs are best ignored. CANDYMAN (6) returns from a break but is very
consistent and can have a say in the finish again. JOLI COUP (5) needs to do more to win but is
capable of making the frame.
SELECTIONS
ZAMNESIA (7) – WARELIA (1) – CANDYMAN (6) – JOLI COUP (5)
RACE 4: DE HOERDT MAIDEN STAKES (TURF TRACK) (FROM STRASBOURG RACE 4) – 2350M – TIME: 18:45 PRIZE MONEY: EUR13000
Summary: WINTERVOGEL (2) ran well in better fields than this last year and if fit from the break
can be ready to score. ZOEY (6) was unreliable in Germany but has not been too bad in two
French runs and can contest the finish. AMARANT (12) is well bred and can be a threat on his
debut. HOROS (13) also make his debut and has a winning chance in a weak race.
SELECTIONS
WINTERVOGEL (2) – ZOEY (6) – AMARANT (12) – HOROS (13)
RACE 5: DE LA SOREC STAKES (TURF TRACK) (FROM LA TESTE DE BUCH RACE 2) – 1000M – TIME: 19:00 PRIZE MONEY: EUR23000
Summary: GOLDEN BREEZE (3) has a taking profile and will be expected to make a bold show
on her debut. AL PASO (1) is one of only two colts in the line-up. He will be competitive and
should have speed from his Sire. NOARA FOR FUN (4) is bred for speed, her dam won over
sprint distances and this filly could be smart and is one to watch in the betting for clues.
LADY’ARMOR (8) is from a good stable and should be kept safe on her first day at school.
SELECTIONS
GOLDEN BREEZE (3) – AL PASO (1) – NOARA FOR FUN (4) – LADY’ARMOR (8)
RACE 6: DE LA SOCIETE DES COURSES DE CRAON STAKES (TURF TRACK) (FROM LA TESTE DE BUCH RACE 3) – 1200M – TIME: 19:31 PRIZE MONEY: EUR30000
Summary: KAADI (1) should have no concern with a slight drop back in trip and was a good
second in a Listed race on her last start earlier this month at Chantilly. She is preferred over
MAGICAL TRAIL (5) who won twice when trained by Charlie Appleby last year in the UK. She
can be competitive on her French debut. FELIX AUX ORMES (4) will be in a good frame of mind
after a win in a handicap last time and can be involved.
SELECTIONS
KAADI (1) – MAGICAL TRAIL (5) – FELIX AUX ORMES (4) – AWAITING CHRISTMAS (3)
RACE 7: DU GALOPPCLUB IFFEZHEIM HANDICAP (TURF TRACK) (FROM STRASBOURG RACE 6) – 1400M – TIME: 19:47 PRIZE MONEY: EUR17000
Summary: CLAIM THE STARS (7) has improved of late and was a good winner at Chantilly in
February. He carries a 2kg penalty for that win but that may not be enough to stop him from
scoring again. MONSIEURVALCHOP (5) struggled back on the turf last time out but he takes a
drop in class and can be a big player. MIELA (4) hinted at a form return last time and could
contest the finish. NICE DREAM (2) will like it back on the grass and is not out of it.
SELECTIONS
CLAIM THE STARS (7) – MONSIEURVALCHOP (5) – MIELA (4) – NICE DREAM (2)
RACE 8: DU BASSIN D’ARCACHON LISTED STAKES (TURF TRACK) (FROM LA TESTE DE BUCH RACE 5) – 2000M – TIME: 20:40 PRIZE MONEY: EUR52000
Summary: KOVROV (5) could be the answer to this competitive race. He is a marginal
preference over the ultra-consistent DILAWAR (1) who does not know how to run a bad race. He
won a Listed race on his latest start in November and will be ready for this after a break. GOOD
GIFT (11) will have no fitness worries and was a good second in February in a Listed race last
time. BEVAN (9) makes up the shortlist.
SELECTIONS
KOVROV (5) – DILAWAR (1) – GOOD GIFT (11) – BEVAN (9)
RACE 9: DE LA SOCIETE DES COURSES DE TOULOUSE MAIDEN STAKES (TURF TRACK) (FROM LA TESTE DE BUCH RACE 6) – 1600M – TIME: 21:15 PRIZE MONEY: EUR21000
Summary: JOKLA (7) caught the eye on her debut when she was third at Lyon Parilly last
September. She is preferred over MARQUES (1) who has been placed on all of her five starts.
Her latest start was when second at Toulouse in late February in a maiden race.
HONEYFLOWER (9) looks good on paper and can be expected to be involved. Her dam was a
useful performer. BLUE LILAS (6) has been placed on all three starts and looks like the each-way
option.
SELECTIONS
JOKLA (7) – MARQUES (1) – HONEYFLOWER (9) – BLUE LILAS (6)
RACE 10: JEAN-FRANCOIS BERNARD MAIDEN STAKES (TURF TRACK) (FROM LA TESTE DE BUCH RACE 7) – 1600M – TIME: 21:50 PRIZE MONEY: EUR21000
Summary: KAI LUNG (15) has been placed on three starts, the latter over 1600m when he was
second at Toulouse in late February. He can score from TIZIAN (10) who was a pleasing fourth at
Chantilly on his debut in early February. ARTISTIC MAN (5) was a decent fourth on debut and
with normal progress, he looks like a good option each way. CHARENGO (4) can improve from a
fourth at Pau on his debut.
SELECTIONS
KAI LUNG (15) – TIZIAN (10) – ARTISTIC MAN (5) – CHARENGO (4)
RACE 11: GAIA SECURITE HANDICAP (TURF TRACK) (FROM LA TESTE DE BUCH RACE 8) – 2400M – TIME: 22:32 PRIZE MONEY: EUR20000
Summary: EQUUS VINCIT (3) has been consistent with several placed runs since a win at
Parislongchamp in April 2023. He was a decent third over 2400m at Lyon La Soie in a Class 3
handicap in December. POCA GEN (1) heads the weights and won three runs back at Toulouse
in a Class 2 handicap in November. He could be the main threat. CHEESE (8) won on his latest
start and is the each-way must. NIKOLAJ (2) makes up the shortlist.
SELECTIONS
EQUUS VINCIT (3) – POCA GEN (1) – CHEESE (8) – NIKOLAJ (2)
RACE 12: DES PLAINES DE L’ARBOIS HANDICAP (FIBRESAND TRACK) (FROM PONT DE VIVAUX RACE 1) – 1500M – TIME: 23:07 PRIZE MONEY: EUR20000
Summary: KHARAMAZOV (6) won doing handstands last time out and despite rising in
company, he looks the part in this contest and can certainly win again. IRBIS (8) just found one
too good last time out but bumps into the right field and could make amends. On paper it appears
that he has one to beat. LOUIS DE LA KLAUSS (10) and TANIS (11) both finished behind the top
choice last time out and may battle to turn the form around but are capable of earning.
SELECTIONS
KHARAMAZOV (6) – IRBIS (8) – LOUIS DE LA KLAUSS (10) – TANIS (11)
RACE 13: DE BONNIEUX HANDICAP (FIBRESAND TRACK) (FROM PONT DE VIVAUX RACE 2) – 1500M – TIME: 23:42 PRIZE MONEY: EUR20000
Summary: SMILE FOR ME (2) produced a solid effort against stronger last time out and
continues to hold encouraging form. She gets weight off the back which will help, and she rates
the one to beat. PASSINGSHOT (3) continued to improve with each start in France and showed
up well when winning last time out. He has further scope for improvement and should be right on
top of them. TAVULLIA (8) has been a consistent performer and should be in the shake up once
again. STUNNING ANGEL (1) has run to better quality in the past and if on song, she could have
a say.
SELECTIONS
SMILE FOR ME (2) – PASSINGSHOT (3) – TAVULLIA (8) – STUNNING ANGEL (1)
