RACE 1: DE L’AVRE LISTED STAKES (TURF TRACK) – 2400M – TIME: 19:58 PRIZE MONEY: EUR55000
Summary: SURABAD (1) seemed to enjoy positive tactics when scoring at Saint-Cloud last time out in a Class 2 race late in March, and might just edge this if ridden similarly. MILITARY AIR (3) will be a threat and has performed well on both starts this year. He should appreciate the step up in trip. KILLARY KING (5) won twice at Cagnes-Sur-Mer earlier in the year and ran a creditable race when fourth in a Class 1 race at the same track in mid-February.
SELECTIONS
SURABAD (1) – MILITARY AIR (3) – KILLARY KING (5) – CROQUIS (6)
RACE 2: PRIX DE BARBEVILLE (GROUP 3) (TURF TRACK) – 3000M – TIME: 20:33 PRIZE MONEY: EUR80000
Summary: INTERNAUTE (7) won nicely in a Listed race at Saint-Cloud on March 20th, and his style of racing suggests he will appreciate the step up in trip today. He is preferred over the unbeaten CANDELARI (4), who has impressed with three wins on the PSF this winter. His latest was over 2700m in a Class 1 race, and he will have no issues with this trip. PRESAGE NOCTURNE (3) was fourth in a competitive race in Saudi Arabia last time and can have a say. BEL ET BIEN (1) heads the remainder.

RACE 3: DE CHEVILLY HANDICAP (TURF TRACK) – 1400M – TIME: 21:15 PRIZE MONEY: EUR53000
Summary: TIMES WARRIOR (3) comes into this on the back of two strong placed efforts this year, most recently finishing second in a Class 1 handicap over 1400m at this track earlier this month. He looks ready to get his head in front. TORTISAMBERT (4), who finished third in that same race, is progressing well and should be close again. SKYLIGHT BROCHARD (1), though carrying top weight, makes solid each-way appeal. MIELA (15), a winner on her penultimate start, is respected, while CENTENARIO (9) rounds out the shortlist.

RACE 4: PRIX ALLEZ FRANCE (GROUP 3) (TURF TRACK) – 2000M – TIME: 21:50 PRIZE MONEY: EUR80000
Summary: AVENTURE (8) was a model of consistency throughout last season, never finishing outside the frame. She signed off with an excellent second in the Group 1 Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe over 2400m at this track on October 6th and is expected to make a winning return. ZUNA (9) impressed when winning a Listed race here on April 6th and looks a major player once more. EUBOA (7) finished second to ZUNA (9) in that contest and should be involved again, while GRAND STARS (5) is another worth considering.
SELECTIONS
AVENTURE (8) – ZUNA (9) – EUBOA (7) – GRAND STARS (5)
RACE 5: PRIX GANAY (GROUP 1) (TURF TRACK) – 2100M – TIME: 22:25 PRIZE MONEY: EUR300000
Summary: MAP OF STARS (4) has looked highly progressive this year, winning both starts in style, including a comfortable success in the Group 2 Prix d’Harcourt over 2000m on April 6th. He is narrowly preferred over the classy SOSIE (5), a Group 1 Grand Prix de Paris winner last July, who signed off with a strong fourth in the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe in October. AL RIFFA (2), a Group 1 winner in Germany last year, adds further depth and must be respected.
SELECTIONS
MAP OF STARS (4) – SOSIE (5) – AL RIFFA (2) – HORIZON DORE (3)
RACE 6: DE GLATIGNY HANDICAP (TURF TRACK) – 1400M – TIME: 23:00 PRIZE MONEY: EUR27000
Summary: ABIAT (2) made a decent return to the season with a fourth over 1400m at Fontainebleau on April 1st in a conditions race and can get off the mark. WHITE PLATIN (1) has been racing in stronger class handicaps recently and can have a say in the finish. SHA TIN (11) was pleasing second on the turf at Chantilly earlier this month and is one for the each-way backers to look at. WIND OF CHANGE (7) makes up the shortlist.
SELECTIONS
ABIAT (2) – WHITE PLATIN (1) – SHA TIN (11) – WIND OF CHANGE (7)
