Summary: SHARGHA (12) has only found one better in both her starts to date. She returns from a break and looks hard to oppose if fit. KISSAURA STAR (5) showed improvement on her second outing and can go close too, though she is trying the turf for the first time. ISHRAAQ (11) is fit and should be in contention, also making his turf debut. HUALA (10) needed her last run and would not be a surprise winner.

SELECTIONS
SHARGHA (12) – KISSAURA STAR (5) – ISHRAAQ (11) – HUALA (10)

RACE 2: LA MIDOUZE STAKES (TURF TRACK) (FROM MONT DE MARSAN RACE 4) – 2000M – TIME: 18:43 PRIZE MONEY: EUR19000

Summary: GOLFEUR (5) has improved with every start and won nicely at Pornichet-La Baule earlier this month. He tries the turf for the first time but sets the standard for the race. XILOFONO (1) continues to improve, and although his latest win was in Spain, he has also won in France before. MISTER PRESIDENT (9) needed his last run, and it would be no surprise to see him involved in the finish. MANLY (3) has shown improvement and is another to consider.

SELECTIONS
GOLFEUR (5) – XILOFONO (1) – MISTER PRESIDENT (9) – MANLY (3)

RACE 3: ESTRIGON HANDICAP (TURF TRACK) (FROM MONT DE MARSAN RACE 5) – 1400M – TIME: 19:15 PRIZE MONEY: EUR15000

Summary: VIRIMOON ETOILE (6) has been in good form all year and gets a narrow vote to win in a highly competitive handicap. RAFALE (5) prefers the turf and should be in contention for top honors. LA VALE (8) has been consistent lately and should be competitive in this line-up. BECHO (3) carries a 2.50kg penalty for her latest win, but she won well and can follow up if in the same form.

SELECTIONS
VIRIMOON ETOILE (6) – RAFALE (5) – LA VALE (8) – BECHO (3)

RACE 4: GEORGES PASTRE (TURF TRACK) (FROM MONT DE MARSAN RACE 6) – 1400M – TIME: 19:47 PRIZE MONEY: EUR17000

Summary: HINAT (11) makes a long journey for this race and is the only runner for Elias Mikhalides, so he gets the nod to score. LAUPER (8) was an easy winner last time out and can double up despite carrying a penalty. QANTIEM (3) returns to handicap company and is capable of getting into the mix. NUIT D’ALIENOR (6) remains in very good form and will not go down easily in this line-up.

SELECTIONS
HINAT (11) – LAUPER (8) – QANTIEM (3) – NUIT D’ALIENOR (6)

Summary: OCEAN DIAMOND (7) boasts useful form and comes into the race fresh off a victory at this track over 2150m in a Handicap earlier this month. He is selected to follow up. AGOUREIL (5) ran an attractive race last time when placed 3rd and can be expected to get much closer this time. Bright chance. KALIFE ALAPLACE (4) is a must for all bets. Strong place chance. PUMPY GIRL (10) caught the eye last time at the track and has a first four chance.

SELECTIONS

Summary: XARUN (3) is running well, finished an attractive 2nd over 1900m in a Handicap last time and should be able to go one better. SOIZIYA (9) is taking ages to win her maiden but showed last time when 2nd at Fontainebleau over 2000m, that a success is near. Strong each way claims. GO GO BLITZ (4) can be expected to serve up way more than last time and is a must for the quartets. FETE JOYEUSE (1) has a first four chance. Include.

SELECTIONS
XARUN (3) – SOIZIYA (9) – GO GO BLITZ (4) – FETE JOYEUSE (1)

RACE 7: MONTCHAT HANDICAP (FIBRESAND TRACK) (FROM LYON LA SOIE RACE 3) – 1800M – TIME: 00:17 PRIZE MONEY: EUR20000

Summary: ACCLAM (8) is never far off the action and If all goes well and has a smooth run in transit, he can be a potential winner based on his best form. PREWITT (7) has a first rate chance, on a course that should suit him, and if it does, he can go very close. ROYAL SAXO (3) boasts some useful and consistent form and comes into the race fresh off a victory at Chantilly over 1900m. Big chance. SAINT HELLIER (10) did something special at Marseille-Vivaux last time. He’s certainly on the cusp of a great performance and is therefore a must for all betting calculations.

SELECTIONS
ACCLAM (8) – PREWITT (7) – ROYAL SAXO (3) – SAINT HELLIER (10)

RACE 8: CEREALISTE STAKES (FIBRESAND TRACK) (FROM LYON LA SOIE RACE 4) – 1800M – TIME: 00:52 PRIZE MONEY: EUR15000

Summary: SCARLET VALENTINE (8) is a lightly raced filly that showed last time when running 3rd at Marseille Vivaux over 1500m that the win is near. She is confidently selected to score. KING LUDWIG (5) ran a much improved race last time when 4th over 2000m and can be expected to build on that. GOOD ORPEN (4) has not really shone in three races thus far but surely will have some progression to come. Do not ignore for the places. LADY COOL (2) is knocking loudly at the door for the win. Big chance and one to respect and include in all bets.

SELECTIONS
SCARLET VALENTINE (8) – KING LUDWIG (5) – GOOD ORPEN (4) – LADY COOL (2)

RACE 9: JEAN LYON MAIDEN STAKES (FIBRESAND TRACK) (FROM LYON LA SOIE RACE 5) – 1800M – TIME: 01:27 PRIZE MONEY: EUR13000

Summary: STONEYS (5) was disappointing in a handicap earlier this month but could bounce back to win her maiden race. ISLA COIBA (6) found only one better on debut in Germany and could be competitive , making a long trip for the race. POLYSPEED (1) is knocking hard at the door and would not be a surprise winner. TRENO (4) is better on the PSF, so his last run is best ignored.

SELECTIONS
STONEYS (5) – ISLA COIBA (6) – POLYSPEED (1) – TRENO (4)

RACE 10: ORTOLAN CLAIMING STAKES (FIBRESAND TRACK) (FROM LYON LA SOIE RACE 6) – 2400M – TIME: 02:02 PRIZE MONEY: EUR12000

Summary: BENGALE (2) fluffed his lines in this division on the turf at Saint-Cloud earlier this month but had been performing well on the PSF before that and can bounce back to score. Much more was expected from GUIBERNE (3) on debut, and he can show significant improvement when trying the PSF. FIRST ROSE (8) should also improve after her debut at this track. EICHEL (4) is well drawn and could be competitive this time.

SELECTIONS
BENGALE (2) – GUIBERNE (3) – FIRST ROSE (8) – EICHEL (4)
