RACE 1: DE LAGENESTE STAKES (TURF TRACK) (FROM LIGNIERES RACE 4) – 2400M – TIME: 18:14 PRIZE MONEY: EUR13000
Summary: In a field of newcomers, it may pay to side with MAZARINE (7) who looks the part on her pedigree. She will be well prepared by her astute trainer. MARIOLE (3) is out of a mare who won two races, and this gelding is worth watching in the betting exchanges. MUSIQUE ALLEN (8) has a taking profile; her dam won six races and was placed in a Listed chase. She can be involved as can MARIGNY (4), who could be the first choice of her trainers trio in the lineup.
SELECTIONS
MAZARINE (7) – MARIOLE (3) – MUSIQUE ALLEN (8) – MARIGNY (4)
RACE 2: AVENIR MAIDEN STAKES (TURF TRACK) (FROM LIGNIERES RACE 5) – 2000M – TIME: 18:47 PRIZE MONEY: EUR11000
Summary: Summary: SAKURASAKU (4) was below his best last time but posted a promising fifth at Chantilly in mid-February and is the first choice in what looks like an open maiden. GERARD TER BORCH (7) makes plenty of appeal on paper and is expected to play a leading role on debut. SAWAF (2) has finished fifth on his last two starts, and with race experience on his side, he can make the frame. TEPITO (1) has shown ability and is one to consider each-way.
SELECTIONS
SAKURASAKU (4) – GERARD TER BORCH (7) – SAWAF (2) – TEPITO (1)
RACE 3: CHAMBON HANDICAP (TURF TRACK) (FROM LIGNIERES RACE 6) – 3200M – TIME: 19:21 PRIZE MONEY: EUR17000
Summary: Summary: ALMACADO GREE (1) is an honest performer and won at Saint-Cloud on his latest start in a Class 3 race in early March. He is given marginal choice over hat-trick seeking ANDOUINS (2), who won over course and distance in early March and followed that up with a win on the PSF later that month. WAIT THE STORM (3) was third behind the latter on the PSF last time and can be involved at the finish. I’M ON MY WAY (4) is another for the shortlist.
SELECTIONS
ALMACADO GREE (1) – ANDOUINS (2) – WAIT THE STORM (3) – I’M ON MY WAY (4)
RACE 4: LORD SEYMOUR LISTED STAKES (TURF TRACK) (FROM PARISLONGCHAMP RACE 1) – 2400M – TIME: 19:58 PRIZE MONEY: EUR52000
Summary: Summary: Supplemented MONT DE SOLEIL (1) takes his place in this Listed event coming off two creditable efforts in Group III contests last year. His form poses for him to be the horse to beat if the eight month break does not affect him. TRABUCO (2) is as honest as they come and won’t be no surprise if he strikes a winning threat. JORDANELLA (4) can be forgiven for her last start returning from a small rest but her penultimate run when finishing third in a Group III makes her a livewire. FULL OF HOPE (5) has the ability to be competitive.
SELECTIONS
MONT DE SOLEIL (1) – TRABUCO (2) – JORDANELLA (4) – FULL OF HOPE (5)
RACE 5: JACQUES LAFFITTE LISTED STAKES (TURF TRACK) (FROM PARISLONGCHAMP RACE 2) – 1850M – TIME: 20:33 PRIZE MONEY: EUR52000
Summary: Summary: FIRST LOOK (5) enters this Listed race with solid Group form and without a doubt, he will be urging to romp into the winners box. CAMBRONNE (1) is in pleasing form and will be putting his best foot forward to fight out the finish. CLIMATE CHANGE (2) has won two of his last three starts and although taking on tougher in his last start when finishing sixth in a Listed, he must be given consideration. WAKABURN (3) holds a place chance in this contest.
SELECTIONS
FIRST LOOK (5) – CAMBRONNE (1) – CLIMATE CHANGE (2) – WAKABURN (3)
RACE 6: PAVILLON ROYAL HANDICAP (TURF TRACK) (FROM PARISLONGCHAMP RACE 3) – 2400M – TIME: 21:15 PRIZE MONEY: EUR53000
Summary: Summary: AQUA AUGUSTA (1) is a winner over the trip in her penultimate start and for a two-time winner off seven starts, she will be trying her best to add to her winning tally in this competitive Handicap. FOXTROT ZULU (8) comes off two victories in her last two starts and does step up to face Class two company but has the ability to seal off a hat-trick win. TILILA (6) bounced to winning ways in a similar field and if she remains wise here, she will be competitive again. BIBBIENA (12) is a true definition of a honest performer and will be right in the mix again. ZULU WARRIOR (2) must be respected for his last two starts finishing second.
SELECTIONS
AQUA AUGUSTA (1) – FOXTROT ZULU (8) – TILILA (6) – BIBBIENA (12)
RACE 7: PRIX DE FONTAINEBLEAU (GROUP 3) (TURF TRACK) (FROM PARISLONGCHAMP RACE 4) – 1600M – TIME: 21:50 PRIZE MONEY: EUR80000
Summary: Summary: MISUNDERSTOOD (4) ran an eye-catching race in the Group I Prix Jean-Luc Lagardère last October, finishing third despite running keen. His penultimate start reflects him winning a Group III contest over the course and distance. He should win here if he is to turn into a Classic prospect. SAHLAN (3) was a winner on debut and this well-bred youngster shows he has ability to produce similar efforts. DARIUS CEN (7) comes off winning his last two starts and will be trying his best to seal a hat-trick success. MADERO (6) boasts to be pleasing over the mile and definitely holds a place chance.
SELECTIONS
MISUNDERSTOOD (4) – SAHLAN (3) – DARIUS CEN (7) – MADERO (6)
RACE 8: PRIX DE LA GROTTE (GROUP 3) (TURF TRACK) (FROM PARISLONGCHAMP RACE 5) – 1600M – TIME: 22:25 PRIZE MONEY: EUR80000
Summary: Summary: ZARIGANA (1) is a class act and has only suffered defeat at Group 1 level — a race she might well have won with better luck in running. She returns from a break but should prove too strong for these rivals. SAFIA (4) is unbeaten in two starts and could be anything. She may also have the fitness edge. SHES PERFECT (2) has travelled over from the UK, suggesting her connections are confident of a good performance. ROSA SALVAJE (5) is consistent and should be in the mix for a place.
SELECTIONS
ZARIGANA (1) – SAFIA (4) – SHES PERFECT (2) – ROSA SALVAJE (5)
