RACE 1: DE LA HAUTE POMMERAYE MAIDEN STAKES (TURF TRACK) – 1600M – TIME: 17:42 PRIZE MONEY: EUR27000
Summary: ASTRAL WAY (3) holds an entry in the Group 1 Poule d’Essai des Pouliches. She ran well in all three of her starts last year and could win returning from a break. HONEYFLOWER (4) was runner-up on debut at La Teste-de-Buch last month and should make a bold attempt at victory again. ALSABA (2) returns from a break but is threatening to win and deserves the utmost respect. LA BELLA OTERO (8) holds a Group 1 entry and would not be a surprise winner.

RACE 2: DU CHEMIN DE CHAMANT HANDICAP (FIBRESAND TRACK) – 1400M – TIME: 18:17 PRIZE MONEY: EUR14000
Summary: TERANGA (7) has shown improvement of late and was full value for her win at Compiègne. A 2kg penalty may not be enough to stop a follow-up win and she is a confident pick. ALVAR (1) has only been modest for some time but could be a threat off this low mark. ACHKI (3) is battling to find winning form but is capable of contesting the finish yet again. PRINCE DES DUNES (6) has won over this distance and could surprise.

TERANGA (7) – ALVAR (1) – ACHKI (3) – PRINCE DES DUNES (6)
RACE 3: DE LA MARE LANDRY HANDICAP (TURF TRACK) – 2000M – TIME: 18:52 PRIZE MONEY: EUR21000
Summary: DIYAA (10) has been very consistent in claimers of late. She was only tried once in a handicap and finished 6th. She is down in weight significantly since then and gets the vote to score. NOTA BENE (1) has been consistent on the PSF of late but will need to prove it on the turf this time. EMINENCE GRISE (3) tries a handicap for the first time and could be a lively danger. TWARAB (11) showed improvement last time out and could do even better this time.

RACE 4: CH. DES CLOS (FIBRESAND TRACK) – 1400M – TIME: 19:27 PRIZE MONEY: EUR16000
Summary: KHABESA (7) is very consistent and was not disgraced at this track last month. She looks very likely to fight out the finish in this line-up. SHOWMAN (12) has disappointing form on this surface but has been much improved of late and is clearly not out of it. FULL GAIN (2) showed improvement over this course and distance last time out and could have more to offer. AMOUREUSE (4) will strip fitter this time, so an improved run is on the cards.

KHABESA (7) – SHOWMAN (12) – FULL GAIN (2) – AMOUREUSE (4)
RACE 5: DES COTES D’ORLEANS MAIDEN STAKES (TURF TRACK) – 1200M – TIME: 20:12 PRIZE MONEY: EUR27000
Summary: ASTON CLINTON (4) produced a good finish on the PSF last time out and could do better on the turf. He gets a narrow vote to score in a competitive race. ZELZAL DREAM (1) has been consistent without winning so far but can fight out the finish yet again. HAWKEYE (14) is out of a Group 1-winning dam and deserves respect on debut. BELVEDERE PALACE (6) is better judged on his good debut and can be a threat as well.
SELECTIONS
ASTON CLINTON (4) – ZELZAL DREAM (1) – HAWKEYE (14) – BELVEDERE PALACE (6)
RACE 6: DU CHEMIN DES POISSONNIERS HANDICAP (FIBRESAND TRACK) – 1400M – TIME: 20:47 PRIZE MONEY: EUR21000
Summary: HERODION (9) is unbeaten in three starts this year and clearly enjoys this track. He does carry a 3kg penalty for the hat-trick win, so it will be tougher this time, but he can do it. TOLLARD ROYAL (10) has struggled in handicaps but did win a claimer at this course last time out and could be a threat. ADWAN (1) is in good form and should be competitive yet again. WAKAI GO (7) has yet to win a race but is threatening to do just that.
SELECTIONS
HERODION (9) – TOLLARD ROYAL (10) – ADWAN (1) – WAKAI GO (7)
RACE 7: DU POTAGER DES PRINCES HANDICAP (TURF TRACK) – 2000M – TIME: 21:22 PRIZE MONEY: EUR25000
Summary: A very competitive looking handicap. CODICE (3) is improving and ran well on the grass last time out, so could score on handicap debut. AMANDINES (8) also makes her handicap debut and could be a threat with improvement expected. TAKE ME I’M YOURS (4) is improving and has already run well in a handicap, so has an obvious winning chance. SEONA (1) ran well when returning after a break and can also shine brightly.
SELECTIONS
CODICE (3) – AMANDINES (8) – TAKE ME I’M YOURS (4) – SEONA (1)
RACE 8: DU CHEMIN DE LA CARTOUCHE HANDICAP (FIBRESAND TRACK) – 1400M – TIME: 21:58 PRIZE MONEY: EUR23000
Summary: A very tough lucky last race. RANCON ROYALE (4) is usually very competitive and has done well at this course, so gets a narrow vote to score. VIBRATO (11) has shown improvement of late and should be right there in the mix of things yet again. KIZMAMBO (1) was a comfortable winner at Cagnes-sur-Mer and could double up carrying a penalty. CROWDFUNDING (2) ran well in a claimer but is also not out of it in this handicap.

RANCON ROYALE (4) – VIBRATO (11) – KIZMAMBO (1) – CROWDFUNDING (2)
