4 Race 3 1. PASSION NONANTAISE - Needed comeback run. Has been supplemented for this race. Likes this course and distance and with PC aboard must be considered 2. LA MILVA - Won latest on the turf. Has done well on this surface but over a longer distance than this. Has a place chance 3. NEW FROSTY - Needed comeback run. Likely to be fitter this time and has won over this course and distance. Could play a minor role 4. MAGICAL FOREST - At the top of her game and has won at this course. Carries a 2.50 kgs for her latest win and that could anchor her this time. 5. SA TUNA - Fit ready and in form. Did well when third over this course and distance last time out. Should be right there at the finish 6. DALIGALA - Usually gives of her best and has won at this course and on this surface but is returning from a break and may need this run 7. LADY SIDNEY - Fit ready and inform. Has now won form sometime but was a decent runner-up over this course and distance last time out 8. GOLDEN RAJSA - Won a claimer at this course over 1600m recently. Just as good over this distance. This is a tougher task but could earn some money 9. SIYAKA - Well beaten in last two starts over shorter. Better this distance but will need to find a few lengths to win this race 10. CATALOUNIYA - Fair form and could be hitting a peak. Step up in distance could suit and is clearly not out of it. Has a chance 11. VENERABLE - Well beaten in comeback run. Likely to improve on that but may need another run or two to hit her straps. Others preferred this time 12. SHANAWEST - In good form and has won on this surface but this distance does appear to stretch her and may only be capable of a minor role 13. LA MICHODIERE - Modest last run which was over this course and distance. Best recent form was in claimers so will need t. find a few lengths to win this race 14. TRADIGRAPHIE - Distance suited and has won on this surface. Fair recent form and could be in the shake-up for minor honours 15. AUTARCIE - Last two wins were in claiming races but is course and distance suited and has some fair recent form. Has a winning chance 16. LILLY DU HAVRE - Returns from a break and likely to need this run. Has to prove herself capable of winning off this mark so others are preferred this time 17. ROSAMUNDE - Has yet to win a race. Likely to improve on comeback run but will need to find a few lengths to win this race

5 (5) SA TUNA is suited to this course and is fit and ready for this race. She is coming off what was arguably her best performance to date. (15) AUTARCIE was only sixth last time out and more was expected of her that day so she might do better this time. (7) LADY SIDNEY and (10) CATALOUNIYA both did well enough last time out to hold a winning chance in this race. (5) SA TUNA - (15) AUTARCIE - (7) LADY SIDNEY - (10) CATALOUNIYA - (12) SHANAWEST

6 Race 4 1. ALHSEEMAH - Runner-up at this course on the PSF on debut. Has to now prove herself on the turf. Consider 2. MSAIKAH - Only sixth on UK debut. Makes her French debut but is likely to need this run 3. GOING FOR GLORY - Promising debut in November but is likely to need this run returning from a break 4. WAGGA WAGGA - Not disgraced when third on debut. Has to prove herself on the turf but has a winning chance 5. DUCHESS OF DANZIG - Fifth on debut at this course in November. Could improve returning from a break 6. CREATIVITY - Only sixth on debut. Likely to improve on that and does have Christophe Soumillon up 7. LYPHARTY KA - Just needed comeback run.

HOMERIQUE - First run for a Exchange Rate filly out of Chiquita Picosa. Could need this run 10. MYSTIC SUNSHINE - A Maxios filly out of Ma Coeur who could be ready to run on this her debut. Supplemented 11. C'EST CA - First run for a Galileo filly out of A Z Warrior. Deserves the utmost respect Trainer Fabre has 3 first timers entered for this but it may be worth noting that (10) MYSTIC SUNSHINE has been supplemented for this race so gets the vote to score. Stable companions (8) ZALZALAH and (11) C'EST CA have good breeding and cannot be dismissed away easily. (4) WAGGA WAGGA at least has the experience and could contest the finish. (10) MYSTIC SUNSHINE - (8) ZALZALAH - (4) WAGGA WAGGA - (11) C'EST CA

7 Race 5 1. SEJO - Just needed comeback run. Tries the turf now and is clearly in with a chance 2. NATURALLY HIGH - Improved nicely in second start. Returns from a break but has a big chance if fit 3. FROZEN BERE - Fit and ready for this. Good last run in the UK. Must be given respect 4. MAHOE - Not disgraced when fourth on PSF debut. Tries the turf. Can play a minor role 5. CHUCK BASS - Did not show much on debut. Likely to improve but others are preferred this time 6. EL MANIFICO - Improving and some nice bits of form. Returns from a break but should go close 7. GALIKOR - Did not show much on PSF debut but is likely to improve trying the turf this time 8. LE MUSICIEN - First run for a Rip Van Winkle colt out of Divine Music. Deserves respect with PS up (2) NATURALLY HIGH showed good improvement from his debut when runnerup next time out. A winning run was promised and he holds some notable entries later this season. If fit and well he can use this as a stepping stone. (6) EL MANIFICO also returns from a break and does have some fair form. He will be a danger once again. (2) NATURALLY HIGH - (6) EL MANIFICO - (1) SEJO - (7) GALIKOR

8 Race 6 1. LAW DIVA - Did well in 2016 struggled in 2017 and did not do much better in May have needed last run 2. CAVALSEULLES - Needed comeback run. Likes this surface and could finish in the money once again 3. VEGAS VALENTINE - Was not disgraced on his return when fifth over this course and distance. Can place 4. SPEAK NOW - Fit and ready for this race. Needs to do more to win but could play a minor role 5. WALLIS - Has been struggling for some time now an improvement to win this race. Others preferred 6. INTO THE ROCK - Doing better this year but was well beaten over this course and distance last time out 7. LADY KYRIA - Returns from a break and has yet to taste the PSF. Best watched for now 8. MUSTANGA - Both wins were on this surface but would probably prefer a longer distance 9. YANLING - Has won over this distance but is returning from a break so is likely to need the run 10. IMPATIENTE - Fit and ready for this race. Doing well enough recently to have a winning chance 11. PINK - Has been finding the distance a bit far in the last three runs. Could place 12. UPENDI - Good third in latest run. Has a chance trying it a bit further this time 13. CHAPARDEUSE - Fit and inform. Distance suited and could finish in the money once again 14. ESTRELLA ERIA - Only fair form in France. More needed to win but could pop up in the places 15. ZOELOLA - Has yet to win a race but did well enough over this course and distance last time out 16. MAJURA - Distance suited but needs to improve on modest last two runs. Might place 17. GREY MAGIC NIGHT - Unreliable and maybe at best on the turf but is not completely out of it

9 A tough race to find the winner and we have settled on (1) LAW DIVA but it is not with much confidence. (13) CHAPARDEUSE is in good form and must hold a winning chance. (3) VEGAS VALENTINE may have just needed her comeback run and could do a bit better this time. (5) WALLIS can improve with jockey PC Boudot on. (1) LAW DIVA - (13) CHAPARDEUSE - (3) VEGAS VALENTINE - (5) WALLIS - (10) IMPATIENTE

10 Race 7 1. AWAAMIR - Good first two runs. Returns from a break but is clearly not out of it 2. FORTY BERE - Fit ready and is distance suited but needs to do more to win. Might place 3. CABOTIN - Holding form well. Has a big chance if returning fit and well from a break 4. GLORIA - Modest first four runs. Takes a dip at sprinting. Needs to improve to win 5. HONEY BLOSSOM - Only fair form shown so far. Could improve but does need to find a few lengths to win 6. NO FAITH - Just needed comeback run. Could do even better this distance. Go close 7. EVERTOGETHER - Holding form well enough but is returning from a break and could just need it (6) NO FAITH holds some classic entries later this season and was not disgraced when third last time out. She could prove to be a step or two quicker than her rivals. (3) CABOTIN returns from a lengthy break but has some nice form and is clearly not out of it. (1) AWAAMIR and (7) EVERTOGETHER can improve from their break. (6) NO FAITH - (3) CABOTIN - (1) AWAAMIR - (7) EVERTOGETHER

11 Race 8 1. CRYSALSA - Distance suited and is holding form well enough at this course to hold a winning chance 2. VERSALINE - Battling to regain best form but is fit and could get competitive off current mark 3. NUMERO TREIZE - Last win was in 2016 and is likely to need this run returning from a break 4. ELLECOURT - Fit and inform. Battling to win but cannot be dismissed away easily. One to consider 5. EMPRESS CLAUDIA - Improving and was not disgraced when third last time out. Maybe better on the turf though 6. EAU DU LARGE - Battling to regain winning form but does pop up in the places every now and then 7. STORAYA - Could be held on current mark and may need to find a few lengths to win 8. HUDA - Has been struggling recently and needs to make major improvement to win 9. DALSTAR - Good last win which was over this track and trip. Can follow up despite a penalty 10. ETOILE DE MER - Disappointing last run but has been placed over this track and trip before 11. MANILA PALM - Has been struggling since a fair debut and needs major improvement to win this race 12. SISSI DOLOISE - Ha struggled this year and has yet to win after 14 starts. Needs to improve 13. STOHAILA - Modest recent form but rating keeps dropping so could improve soon. Might place 14. LIGHT OF THE WORLD - Has yet to win and last run was disappointing. Has a place chance on good penultimate run 15. ROSE DOLOISE - just needed comeback run. Likely to improve and could yet play a minor role 16. MISS MASSUCCO - Bounced back to win latest start on the turf. Not as good on the PSF but is not out of it 17. SHANABALA - Struggling to regain best form but is distance suited. Might earn some money

12 (9) DALSTAR could have had something in hand when winning last time out and the 2.50kg penalty may not be enough to stop another win. (1) CRYSALSA is fit enough to do herself justice in this race and could be right there at the finish. (4) ELLECOURT usually gives of her best and is clearly not out of it. Another one to consider is (5) EMPRESS CLAUDIA. (9) DALSTAR - (1) CRYSALSA - (4) ELLECOURT - (5) EMPRESS CLAUDIA - (14) LIGHT OF THE WORLD

13 Race 9 1. IMPERIAL TANGO - Not disgraced in comeback run which was over this course and distance. Consider 2. RAYON VERT - Just needed comeback run.

SEASIDE SONG - First run for a Harbour Watch filly out of Sea Chorus. Has a winning chance on debut 7. DAME DU ROI - Hard to oppose if returning fit and well after a break. Looking to regain confidence It could be a case of saving the best bet till the lucky last race. (7) DAME DU ROI has been placed third in Group 1 at this track last year and if fit she could prove too good for her 6 rivals. (6) SEASIDE SONG is looking for a hat-trick of wins but does meet tougher returning from a break. (4) SOHO STARLIGHT could finish in the money. (7) DAME DU ROI - (6) SEASIDE SONG - (4) SOHO STARLIGHT - (1) IMPERIAL TANGO

ELEGANT KILY - Sent off at single-figure prices in all four harness races but has disappointed each time. Ridden debut 2. ELIOS - No show in two outings in harness last autumn. Ridden debut and barefoot first time on first run since October 3. ELIXIR WIND - Sanctioned in both harness appearances. Not seen since August. Ridden debut 4. EMERALD DARBY - Not a factor in either race in harness. First run since December. Ridden debut and front shoes off first time 5. ETERNELLE LOUKI - Has broken stride in both races so far in July and September. Ridden debut and first run for new trainer 6. EXPRESS WIND - Seventh of 12 at Rouen-Mauquenchy in October.

Ridden debut and back shoes off first time 12. EMPEREUR D'ORIVAL - Placed twice last summer. In line for second when losing rhythm near the end at Reims last week 13. EKEREN - Failed on harness debut when fancied. Came good in first ridden race when a wide-margin winner at Caen on March 24

15 The card starts with a ridden race where (13) EKEREN - who showed that this discipline suits him when scoring at Caen 10 days ago - is taken to double up. (12) EMPEREUR D'ORIVAL was in the frame twice last year and would have been second last time but for breaking stride in the closing stages. On his best form (10) ETOILE CASTELETS is capable of a place however with eight of the 13 debuting in this sphere a market watch is essential. (13) EKEREN - (12) EMPEREUR D'ORIVAL - (10) ETOILE CASTELETS - (11) ENAKOSA DU MANS

16 Race 2 1. FAIRWAY DE BLARY - Debut for colt by Village Mystic out of Sonia du Boscail. Qualified at Caen last year in the same lot - and faster - than the useful Feliciano 2. FIDELIO DE DIGEON - Debut for gelding by Ni Ho Ped d'ombree out of Kyrielle de Digeon. Qualified here 3. FLAMENCO DU BOIS - Never a factor at Caen on debut when 10th in a 12- runner contest a week ago 4. FRAGON D'AVIGNERE - Debut for gelding by Kiwi out of Hermine d'avignere. Qualified at this venue 5.

Sanctioned at the start next time 8. FERLAINE - Good introductory runs at Rouen-Mauquenchy (fourth) and at Reims (third). Probably would have won back at Reims latest but for an early fault 9. FORT GALAA - Runner-up at Cabourg in December but has broken stride in all of other three outings 10. FEDRA - Fourth at Le Croise-Laroche on debut. Third of 12 here on March 20 next time 11. FRISE PONT VAUTIER - Third at La Capelle first time up in November. Filled the same berth on re-appearance at Chartres on March 18 (1) FAIRWAY DE BLARY is a potentially exciting recruit. The son of Village Mystic qualified in the same group as Feliciano - who has subsequently won two class Cs and came second in a class A last time - and in a faster time. (8) FERLAINE was sent off favourite at Reims on March 25 but wrecked her chances - after making an early fault - only to show that she would probably have won. (9) FORT GALAA has talent but also has rhythm issues. (1) FAIRWAY DE BLARY - (8) FERLAINE - (9) FORT GALAA - (10) FEDRA

AVENTURE MAGIC - Two successes last year. Fifth of 12 in a class C at Caen latest on March 10 The Thierry Duvaldestin-trained (4) CARLY can complete a hattrick after easy wins at Caen and Agen-Le Passage last month. The main danger is (10) CARLA DU CHATELET - who has been successful in four of her last five races. (6) BATATA has also been in good form under the saddle this year. (1) BALANTINE MAX could play a role if keeping stride. (4) CARLY - (10) CARLA DU CHATELET - (6) BATATA - (1) BALANTINE MAX

ETOILE MIKA - Disqualified twice before finishing third at Reims on March 11. Fourth of 13 at Durtal a week later (4) EPONA DU TRIEUX was a beaten favourite when resuming at Chartres on March 18. However she still ran well enough to suggest the losses will be recouped this time. Saint-Brieuc winner (12) EXOTIC PASSION should be competitive if keeping within the rules while (5) EDESSE DE MESANGY has only been beaten by one horse so far.

Prone to breaking stride (5) DUO AJITE has won twice this year - at Chateaubriant in February when shod and at Durtal last month when barefoot - and can add to his tally with the shoes back on. (7) DINGUE DE ROCK remains in a good spell of form and is potentially the most dangerous rival. (4) DYNAROCK has won the most prize money of these and can find a step on the podium. (5) DUO AJITE - (7) DINGUE DE ROCK - (4) DYNAROCK - (10) DIVIN DE BOUGY

If anything can foil his ambition then the most likely is (5) CUBA LIBRE who won at Rouen-Mauquenchy in January. Reims-fourth (4) BACILLY and the well-drawn (2) CESARIO BELLO can fight it out for a place.
