ENGHIEN - 30th June. Race 1

Transcription

1 ENGHIEN - 30th June Trainer of the day : Philippe Billard (412, 506, 705, 809) Jockey of the day : Eric Raffin (104, 306, 401, 616) Horse of the day : Féline Speed (110) Dark Horse : Arrival de Ginai (409) Race 1 1. FEE LULU D'ANDAINE - Set off no fireworks in qualification and appears to have little chance of influencing the outcome 2. FORTUNE FAITE - Untried filly that qualified in good order at Caen last month and if as good in competition could get a look in 3. FAKIRA - Sanctioned in both starts to date. Returns from a break and if applied will have her chances 4. FIONA D'HERMINE - Promising filly that encouraged in a similar event across town two weeks ago and should again acquit herself competitively 5. FANISSE DE GUEZ - Useful type that has been making fine progress and is not far from opening her account

2 6. FIERTE CASTELETS - Has raced respectably in the discipline so far and while unlikely to lose her maiden tag should still give a good account 7. FORCE DE BELKAC - Pleasing of late under harness in the claiming division. Takes first steps under the saddle but still not an obvious choice 8. FLEUR DE NOUVILLE - Never dangerous when sanctioned on ridden debut mid-month and unlikely to shake things up 9. FLEUR REYNALD - Still a maiden but has shown promise under harness. Lebourgeois on board for ridden debut and if ability transitions should figure prominently 10. FELINE SPEED - Has done everything right so far. Missed out by little at Caen last time and after a short breather makes Enghien debut with legitimate ambition (10) FELINE SPEED has been exceptionally impressive since her first steps on the track. After a short breather she comes here fresh and should be able to wrap this up provided she can see off the Baudouin-trained (4) FIONA D'HERMINE who left a very good impression on ridden debut at Vincennes mid-month. (9) FLEUR REYNALD has shown very good aptitude under harness and taking her first steps under the saddle with a top jockey on board must be seen as a good omen. (3) FAKIRA is well-regarded at home and can play a role if she can stay in stride. (10) FELINE SPEED - (4) FIONA D'HERMINE - (9) FLEUR REYNALD - (3) FAKIRA

3 Race 2 1. FLOWER POWER - Showed considerable promise last season but unraced for 6.5 months and will need the outing 2. FRANCE VOIRONS - As solid as a rock to date. Has had time to freshen up and makes her Enghien debut with every chance of getting straight down to business 3. ZANIAH BI - Won two of her last three in her native Italy. Has never been tested beyond a mile but looks a serious prospect all the same 4. FLICKA LUCAXELO - Respectable trotter but no closer than fifth in last four and must raise her game 5. FAVORITE FLIGNY - Can prove difficult but has ample talent and should not be too far off the mark following her much-needed freshener early June 6. ISABELLA BOSHOEVE - Serious German filly that missed out by little for second in a Vincennes G.III three weeks ago and looks to have a good hand to play 7. FLEUR DE LYS DELO - Has never failed to fire under these conditions. Less effective in last two before the break but comes here fresh and should not be underestimated 8. FABLE DU PLESSIS - Has acquitted herself well for the most part this season. Good second in a Vincennes Class B over shorter last time and should put on another decent show 9. FAMILLE ROYALE - Justifiably well-regarded sort that was found wanting on comeback in a G.III but will have come on for the run and must be respected 10. FERIA DIBAH - Consistently gives a good account of herself. Was beaten by (11) FILOE DE JARY on re-entry but can still make her presence felt 11. FILOE DE JARY - Serious sort that won a Vincennes Class B with ease before being dominated in a G.II but drops back in category and looks competitive After three excellent runs in her native Italy compatriot Gabriele Gelormini teams up with (3) ZANIAH BI for her French debut and although untried at this distance still looks the horse to beat. She will nevertheless face stiff competition from the excellent German filly (6) ISABELLA BOSHOEVE who left a superb impression at Vincennes three weeks ago. The best of the domestic offering looks to be the Martens brothers' (2) FRANCE VOIRONS who has had time to freshen up after a trio of very promising performances. (11) FILOE DE JARY is another quality filly and should acquit herself honourably.

4 (3) ZANIAH BI - (6) ISABELLA BOSHOEVE - (2) FRANCE VOIRONS - (11) FILOE DE JARY

5 Race 3 1. DIGNE ET DROIT - Regular for the most part. Put in a good time on re-entry mid-month and with hind shoes off can impose on this occasion 2. CLEMENZA AM - Decent sort with nothing to prove at this level. Trounced the opposition at Mauquenchy last weekend and looks a player once more 3. UNITED LOVE - Reinvigorated of late. Won over longer here before acquitting himself well in a similar Vincennes event and is well-placed to give another competitive account 4. THOR DI GIRIFALCO - Useful sort but has yet to show his true colours in France and appears to have his work cut out 5. CHTIOT DE BELLANDE - Moderate sort that was well beaten in last two. Not the most productive in autostart events and others preferred 6. CHOCOLAT DU BOURG - Won at La Capelle before putting in a superb finish behind (2) CLEMENZA AM at Mauquenchy. Is unbeaten with Raffin and will justifiably garner significant support 7. JERRY MOM - Highly-consistent dual-purpose trotter that returned to competition in good shape. Lost his action at Borely but on good behaviour should figure prominently 8. COLORADO BLUE - Has been enjoying a rewarding run of late. Imposed last time over the distance here and even racing shod will have a good hand to play 9. TELLMEASTORY - Won two of the three races he has finished this year. Makes first appearance at Enghien but in current condition is hard to ignore 10. DEUXIEME SOUFFLE - Decent sort but has not been seen out since October 2016 and can be ruled out 11. TOKEN BI - Excellent Italian type that impressed in four of last five. Makes French debut with front shoes off for the first time and will have his supporters 12. M.T.KING OF CASH - Delicate type but has talent in spades. Should find Enghien conditions to his liking and if applied can get in on the action 13. TRIOMPHE FERM - Useful sort but has struggled this year and must get his house in order 14. CAPRAIO - Won two in a row before being sanctioned in a G.III at Vincennes. Has good speed and with application can go far 15. GIJON - Serious Swedish import that missed the start at Vincennes last time but can play an important role if he can get off on the right foot

6 Following an encouraging return to competition (1) DIGNE ET DROIT races unshod behind this time and with Jean-Philippe Monclin in the wagon can return to winning ways. (14) CAPRAIO was sanctioned last time after twice imposing over shorter and despite the draw can play a leading role. (6) CHOCOLAT DU BOURG has been very rewarding of late and should figure prominently if he can reproduce his superb effort at La Capelle earlier in the month. (3) UNITED LOVE has the plum spot behind the car and in current form is expected to make a big impact. (1) DIGNE ET DROIT - (14) CAPRAIO - (6) CHOCOLAT DU BOURG - (3) UNITED LOVE

7 Race 4 1. VOLNICO LA VALLEE - Has swung back into form since returning to France and the inside draw will do his prospects no harm 2. AHRIMA TURGOT - Has won just once at Enghien but drops a category and is sufficiently well-placed to make a big impact this time 3. VIKING LUDOIS - Has raced very modestly since last autumn and really should be given a break 4. VAKATO - Won his only start over the distance here. Is barefoot following a recent visit to Finland and is ideally-positioned to give this a good go 5. AFTER RIVER - Capable on a good day and likes Enghien but in present form is hard to make a case 6. BILY DE GUERINIERE - Hardy sort and proven at a superior level. Has one race in him and with shoes off this time can have his way 7. ANGELO AM - Excellent campaigner for the most part. Has three races under his belt and if back in shape should play an important role 8. BAILEYSE - Not currently at her most rewarding but is proven under these conditions and will have her supporters 9. ARRIVAL DE GINAI - Has been enjoying a decent run of late. Is unbeaten over the distance here and despite the second-row draw looks a possible spoiler 10. AZUR DES CAILLONS - Just one blip on his formsheet this year. Is confirmed at this level and in present condition should be able to pick up a cheque 11. BALZAC DE SOUVIGNE - In the frame in two of last three and even though shod this time can still make the first five 12. ROMI MMS - Gives a decent account in the Quinte division - principally with Nivard - but Monclin a decent substitute and could get a look in 13. AIMEE DE PERVENCHE - Solid in two of last three. Has previously imposed over course and distance but will not be helped by the draw 14. VOSS RINGEAT - Last made any impression on the track seven months ago and chances slim at best 15. PRIMULA BRAZZA - A complete write-off for past twelve months and can be confidently disregarded 16. VENUS D'ARDENNES - Has had nothing to show for her efforts since last autumn and has nothing going for her here

8 Few fireworks are expected here but if (2) AHRIMA TURGOT is in form and can get off on the right foot she should be able to win a race of this nature from the 2- spot. After a much-needed freshener a barefoot (6) BILY DE GUERINIERE finds himself well-positioned in front and if fully fit should prove the main threat. (7) ANGELO AM has yet to recapture last season's form but comes here fresh and could well get back in the game. From the inside (1) VOLNICO LA VALLEE looks to have a good hand to play. (11) BALZAC DE SOUVIGNE stays shod but is in form and can pick up some stake money. (2) AHRIMA TURGOT - (6) BILY DE GUERINIERE - (7) ANGELO AM - (1) VOLNICO LA VALLEE - (11) BALZAC DE SOUVIGNE - (10) AZUR DES CAILLONS - (12) ROMI MMS - (13) AIMEE DE PERVENCHE

9 Race 5 1. DREAMMOKO - Has bags of talent but never easy to gauge. Fourth in Elitloppet before flopping in Oslo but goes barefoot from the inside here and could pleasantly surprise 2. UNIFLOSA BELLA - Undeniably capable but has never raced under 2400m. Has a good spot behind the car but nevertheless faces a very stiff test 3. AMIRAL SACHA - Has been showing improvement of late but has never made his mark over a mile. Encouraged in the Prix des Ducs de Normandie though and from the 3-spot should not be underestimated 4. BILLIE DE MONTFORT - Very useful over these speed trips. Fourth twelve months ago and with hind shoes off this time should be good enough to challenge for a place on the podium 5. UZA JOSSELYN - Has been in cracking shape lately. Runner-up to Bold Eagle in G.I Prix Rene Balliere last weekend and should give another competitive account 6. UN MEC D'HERIPRE - Winner of this event in Convincing in both starts since his extended absence and with shoes off and Nivard in the wagon can well win this 7. AVE AVIS - Not always the most reliable but seldom disappoints over these shorter distances. Impressed in the Ducs de Normandie at Caen last month and must be respected 8. ATTACUS - Useful type that goes well for Raffin but takes a big hike in class and starting wide will only compound matters 9. ROMANESQUE - Modest sort these days. Has done nothing of note at group level for three years and can be ruled out 10. BUZZ MEARAS - Has looked decidedly ordinary this term and is unlikely to influence the result 11. VAILLANT CASH - Last placed in harness competition in Better in the other code and no threat 12. DIJON - Set his personal best when 3rd in the Criterium de Vitesse last March. Hind shoes off again and despite the draw can get a look in Winner of this race in 2016 and author of two good comeback performances champion miler (6) UN MEC D'HERIPRE is barefoot for the occasion and looks the pick of the field. His task is not an easy one though considering the presence of Prix Rene Balliere second (5) UZA JOSSELYN who can continue her fantastic form is she has sufficiently recovered. (3) AMIRAL SACHA prefers to lead from

10 the front - he is like a horse reborn at present and his spot behind the car can only enhance his already good prospects. The speedy (1) DREAMMOKO is barefoot following his Norwegian exertions and from the inside line looks a possible troublemaker. (6) UN MEC D'HERIPRE - (5) UZA JOSSELYN - (3) AMIRAL SACHA - (1) DREAMMOKO

11 Race 6 1. ELIXIR DU RADON - Just one win to his name in 28 starts and while he always gives his best he appears to be facing a tough task 2. ELDORADO ROYAL - Particularly solid since his sanctioned re-entry. Good second to (9) ESPOIR DE LARA at Laval and should again acquit himself competitively 3. EMIR DU PONT - Has begun to get back in the game since starting to race without hind shoes. Faces better elements here though and a minor place chance at best 4. ENZO D'ARCY - A model of consistency so far. Was not disgraced behind (6) ENJOLEUR LEMAN last time and with hind shoes off this time can turn the tables 5. EASY DES FLICS - Decent sort that pleased earlier in the season but well beaten in next two and must reassure 6. ENJOLEUR LEMAN - Finished runner-up to (8) ENZO VIVA at Mauquenchy before confirming last weekend and is not incapable of picking up more stake money 7. EMBRUN DE MAI - Has finished just four of the 19 races he has run and will be very hard to back 8. ENZO VIVA - Enjoying something of a renaissance since starting to race unshod. Met traffic problems at Mauquenchy but still imposed and must be afforded respect 9. ESPOIR DE LARA - Hardy sort that has won three of four this term. Steps up in class but a player all the same 10. ENZO DU KLAU - Has been very productive so far this year and while better going right-handed can still pick up a cheque 11. ECLAT DE STAR - Moderate sort but profile somewhat regressive at present and must raise his game 12. ELECTROCHOC - Showed promise last year but yet to convince since returning from the winter break and must find more 13. ELITLOVE PASMARICK - Has not once finished closer than 4th under harness and looks to have his work cut out 14. EL PRESIDENTE - Twice a winner from three when unshod all four. Should appreciate these conditions and can play a leading role 15. ESPOIR PERMIS - Returned to winning ways at Argentan when barefoot for the first time and in similar form will not be far off the mark 16. ECLAIR DE LORIOL - Has found his way again since going barefoot. Not the

12 luckiest at Vincennes but with Raffin back in charge can make amends Although sanctioned at Vincennes following a brace of good scores (14) EL PRESIDENTE was by no means disgraced. His front-running strategy can be put to good use here and with application can impose. (8) ENZO VIVA has been transformed since going barefoot and is very hard to ignore. The ever-consistent (4) ENZO D'ARCY races unshod behind for the first time and should prove even sharper. (9) ESPOIR DE LARA makes his Paris debut on the back of three wins in his last four starts and has earned the right to take his chances in this category. (16) ECLAIR DE LORIOL has a good entry and with Raffin at the helm cannot be discounted. (14) EL PRESIDENTE - (8) ENZO VIVA - (4) ENZO D'ARCY - (9) ESPOIR DE LARA - (16) ECLAIR DE LORIOL

13 Race 7 1. EFFIGIE ROYALE - Has finally started to make good on her promise and if all goes to plan can finish in the mix 2. ESCAMPETTE - Went into her break on a high note but has placed just once in three since return. Lebourgeois has maintained faith though and should not be underestimated 3. ELECTION COQUINE - Showed a different side to herself at Laval two weeks ago but still not a leading contender 4. ECIJA DE JUPILLES - Enjoying a change in fortunes since going unshod and should acquit herself honourably 5. ENAMORADA - Quality filly that has done everything right this term. Pleased over shorter here mid-month and looks a major player 6. ETOILE DE GINAI - Unexceptional trotter that backs up a week after a modest Mauquenchy effort and needs to show more 7. EGERIE QUESNOT - Moderate type that has struggled with stride problems lately and needs to get her house in order 8. ETOILE DES VALS - Has made decent progress in recent weeks. Opened her account at Mauquenchy earlier in the month and will not be available at 42-1 this time around 9. ELLA DU CAMPDOS - Won on comeback early June and was full of running when sanctioned next time. On good behaviour can play a leading role 10. EOLIA DE L'ELLE - Won smartly at Cherbourg earlier in the month. Has just front shoes off this time but still one to note 11. EASY AND NICE ER - Regularly in the thick of things but better going righthanded and chances limited 12. ETOILE DE LA LOGE - Not the most reliable but has ample talent and under these conditions should redeem herself 13. ENFILADE DU DOUET - Reliable sort that is proven under these conditions but in current form is a minor place chance at best 14. ECLIPSE D'ORIENT - Moderate sort that has done nothing of exception this year. Appreciates Enghien though and can make the first five 15. ELODIE LET'S GO - Winner of three of four when barefoot and latterly with ease. Comes here fresh and although stepping up in class must still be respected 16. ENIGME JENILOU - Turned a corner this month with two solid performances on turf. Switches surface and with shoes off again will be one to note

14 A serious filly that has raced little since her November debut (5) ENAMORADA is a very appealing prospect given what she has shown so far this year. She is a progressive sort and can complement her Angers victory. She can nonetheless expect resistance from the progressive (9) ELLA DU CAMPDOS who left regrets at Vincennes earlier in the month. (8) ETOILE DES VALS has been showing a different side to herself lately and after opening her account at Mauquenchy must be considered dangerous with four shoes off for the first time. (2) ESCAMPETTE was well beaten at Caen last time but nonetheless beat her personal best for the second time in a row and has to be taken seriously. (14) ECLIPSE D'ORIENT has shown a liking for the venue and can play an active role. (5) ENAMORADA - (9) ELLA DU CAMPDOS - (8) ETOILE DES VALS - (2) ESCAMPETTE - (14) ECLIPSE D'ORIENT

15 Race 8 1. DIVINE DE L'ITON - Faithful servant in the ridden code. Fourth in the race of reference and cannot be discounted 2. DANIA BEACH - Pleased in three of last four appearances in the discipline. Finished runner-up to (9) DIVINE BEJI last time and will have her chances 3. DOUCE REVELATION - Hardy sort that left a good impression at Caen recently on just second start in the code and in similar form should again finish in the mix 4. DAISY D'ATOUT - Can trot on a good day. Has two races under her belt but still not an obvious choice 5. DEESSE DU RELAIS - Acquits herself well for the most part and has previously won under these conditions. Surprisingly below-par at Vincennes recently but can make amends 6. CATALINA DU PONT - In flying form over past six weeks and confirmed with her apprentice. Has a particular liking for Enghien and looks a player 7. DIGNITE - Good consistent campaigner making her Enghien and ridden debut but if form transitions she should be able to give this a good go 8. DIGITALE - Has acquitted herself well so far this season. Returns from a spell but a minor place chance at best 9. DIVINE BEJI - Blows hot and cold but won for Alexandre Angot at Vincennes last month and should again give a competitive account 10. DAISY MAISY - Has nothing to prove at this level but sanctioned in all four this season. Benefits from a short break and with application can play an important role 11. DANSE CADENCE - Has ability but not the most reliable. Sanctioned on lone start under the saddle but is unshod behind for the first time and will be worth a small consideration (9) DIVINE BEJI produced the goods for Alexandre Angot on her penultimate start at Vincennes and returns to a more suitable flat track with every chance of pulling off another good score. She will however be pitted against the Enghienloving (6) CATALINA DU PONT who is currently at the top of her game. (3) DOUCE REVELATION picked up her first ridden earnings nine days ago with Ludivine Drapier on her back and can be backed with confidence. (5) DEESSE DU RELAIS regularly puts her heart into it and should be able to finish in the mix.

16 (9) DIVINE BEJI - (6) CATALINA DU PONT - (3) DOUCE REVELATION - (5) DEESSE DU RELAIS

17 PARISLONGCHAMP - 30th June Trainer of the day : André Fabre (207, 402, 403, 501) Jockey of the day : Pierre-Charles Boudot (207, 313, 402, 505) Horse of the day : Corsen (207) Dark Horse : Tibério (818) Race 1 1. PHOTO CHOC - Has scored three times from just nine starts and can go close again here today 2. BETTING TIP - Easy maiden winner at Lyon la Soie in January and a few good efforts since then. Not ruled out 3. AUTRETOT - Demonstrated some capabilities in four career starts to date and can be in the mix here 4. LOZOYA - Victorious at Chantilly in March but well beaten in two runs since then 5. COULMER - Battling win in a maiden at Chateaubriant last time out and can have a say here 6. MINNEHAHA - Placed in her first three starts this year but disappointing in a handicap at Saint-Malo last month 7. BELEAVE YOU - Second in a claimer here earlier this month and a fair effort in a handicap at Saint-Cloud since. Respected 8. BIELLA - Both career wins came in a row at Cagnes earlier this year but disappointing in a handicap here last month 9. PRIMA PERFECT - Got off the mark in a handicap at Chantilly last month but well beaten in a Class 2 race at Maisons-Laffitte since 10. HUMANISTE - Eight of ten behind Interieur in a Class 2 race at Maisons- Laffitte last time out. More required 11. ALHSEEMAH - Outclassed in a Group Three race at Chantilly this month. Hard to recommend today The Rouget trained gelding (3) AUTRETOT ran well on his reappearance when third of eight behind Juyush in a Class 2 race at Cholet in April. He is likely to improve for that run and is the one they have to beat in the opener. (2) BETTING

18 TIP is also dropped in class after some good performances this year and must be respected. (1) PHOTO CHOC and (4) LOZOYA can make the frame. (3) AUTRETOT - (2) BETTING TIP - (1) PHOTO CHOC - (4) LOZOYA

19 Race 2 1. WASMY - Well beaten fourth behind Intellogent on his debut at Saint-Cloud last October. Interesting 2. SILVER D'ARGENT - Runner up in a maiden at Montlucon earlier this month but faces better opposition here today 3. BIRDIE - Unplaced in all three of his career starts to date and will need to improve to feature today 4. CADORINO DES PLACE - Well beaten eight of ten on his debut at Fontainebleau last month and needs to improve 5. DUMAS - Placed in two of his three starts in Germany but more needed on French debut 6. INDYCO - Disappointing in a maiden at Tarbes earlier this month and needs to improve from that 7. CORSEN - Third of five behind Mer Et Nuages in a Listed race here last month. One for the short list 8. EL MANIFICO - Runner up in four starts before good efforts at Saint-Cloud and Compiegne. Not ruled out 9. BREATH OF FIRE - By Intello and is a half brother to Beauty Of Love who was a Listed winner at Deauville this year Third of five behind Mer Et Nuages in a Listed race here last month the Andre Fabre trained colt (7) CORSEN had shown promise before that and should be capable of breaking his maiden tag today. The well bred (9) BREATH OF FIRE is a half brother to the Listed winner Beauty Of Love and must be respected on his debut. (8) EL MANIFICO and (5) DUMAS are next best. (7) CORSEN - (9) BREATH OF FIRE - (8) EL MANIFICO - (5) DUMAS

20 Race 3 1. KIYOUNO - Only one win from twenty seven career starts and two poor runs so far this year 2. DOT GREEN - One win from fifteen runs which came in the Uk and needs to improve to feature here today 3. USAIN BEST - Rattled up a hat trick at one stage last season and won two claimers in a row this year. Respected 4. PERLE NONANTAISE - Has struggled all year and needs to find a few lengths to win this race 5. ROCK TO THE MOON - A triple winner from twenty four starts and can get competitive once more today 6. MAGIC MAC - Has some decent form in handicaps this year and not without a chance off current mark 7. NUMBERS TALK - Won handicaps at Clairefontaine and Deauville last Summer but has not run since last October 8. FAST CHARLIE - Winner at Pornichet in March and a few decent efforts since then. Can have a say 9. KING DREAM - Has lost his way since last March and looks hard to trust on that basis 10. FUMATA BIANCA - Boasts a sound record in this class of event but has been disappointing so far this year 11. PRINCESS EMMA - Four times a winner from forty nine including at Croise- Laroche last time out. Has a 2.5 Kg penalty today 12. BIG LETTERS - A triple winner from thirty five runs and third in a Class E handicap here last time out. Consider 13. LATE COMER - Dual winner from nineteen career runs and back to form in his last few starts. Can be in the mix 14. MONOCLE - Best form shown was in Ireland. Needs to improve on recent outings to have any chance here 15. ADAM'S PEAK - Winner off a lower mark four starts back but could still play a major role off current rating 16. BARHEIN - Only the one win from twenty one starts but could be close if on a going day here 17. ETERNAL GIFT - In good form on the fibresand at Chantilly in April but disappointing on the turf there recently 18. FIRST COMPANY - Runner up in four of his last five races and cannot be

21 ruled out of going one better today (18) FIRST COMPANY is well handicapped at the moment and has been runner up in four of his last five starts. He was only just touched off in a handicap by Beaupreau at Chantilly recently and can go one better here today. (15) ADAM'S PEAK was a good third on his reappearance and cannot be discounted. (13) LATE COMER and (3) USAIN BEST are two more to consider. (8) FAST CHARLIE is next best. (18) FIRST COMPANY - (13) LATE COMER - (15) ADAM'S PEAK - (3) USAIN BEST - (8) FAST CHARLIE

22 Race 4 1. KARAR - Fourth behind Polydream in a Group Three race here this month. Should come on from that run 2. INNS OF COURT - Runner up behind Polydream in a Group Three race here this month and is one for the short list today 3. JIMMY TWO TIMES - Third behind Polydream in a Group Three race here this month and likely to be in the mix today 4. LIDA - Well beaten last of nine behind Polydream in a Group Three race here earlier this month 5. ALADDINE - A Group Three winner at Maisons-Laffitte last year but well beaten on reappearance here this month 6. EFAADAH - Won a Listed race here last month and third in a Group Two race at Chantilly since. Must be respected In a small but competitive field for this Group Three race Andre Fabre could again hold the key. Slight preference is for (2) INNS OF COURT who finished a short head in front of stable companion (3) JIMMY TWO TIMES when runner up to Polydream here last time out. The selection was having his first start of the season and can confirm those placings today. (6) EFAADAH and (1) KARAR are next best. (2) INNS OF COURT - (3) JIMMY TWO TIMES - (6) EFAADAH - (1) KARAR

23 Race 5 1. ENVIRONS - Made promising debut at Maisons-Laffitte in June last year and third in a Class 2 race there last month. Respected 2. SELINI MOU - Eight of nine behind Saccharose on her debut here earlier this month. Others preferred today 3. ALCAMA DOLOISE - Disappointing in her last three starts and will need to improve to feature today 4. IDEAL DAY - Seventh behind Flowrider on her debut at Saint-Cloud last month. Might find a few too good 5. TROPICAL PRINCESS - A close second behind Saccharose on her debut here earlier this month. Can be in the mix 6. SECCOTINE - A reasonable effort on her debut at Senonnes this month but needs to improve from that 7. KATINKA - Decent effort when fifth of twelve behind Snakeless on her debut here last month 8. IMAGINARY MOVE - Third on both of her career starts in Germany to date. Tough test on French debut 9. FRAGRANCE - Creditable effort in a maiden at Compiegne earlier this month. More required here 10. BLUE MARIPOSA - Unplaced on her debut in a newcomers race at Maisons- Laffitte this month. Hard to recommend 11. HOLDBACKTHERIVER - Improved from debut when third behind Jizellita in a maiden at Chateaubriant last month 12. HALLUCINANTE - Placed in both career starts to date at Maisons-Laffitte and Saint-Cloud and can be in the mix 13. IO MOTIVATA - By Motivator and is the third foal to run out of a dam that has produced two winners Runner up on her debut at Maisons-Laffitte in June 2017 (1) ENVIRONS ran well on her reappearance there last month when third to Stella Di Camelot in a Class 2 race. She is likely to improve from that and can record her first career success. (12) HALLUCINANTE has shown plenty of ability on both of her starts and looks the main danger. (5) TROPICAL PRINCESS and (7) KATINKA can make the frame.

24 (1) ENVIRONS - (12) HALLUCINANTE - (5) TROPICAL PRINCESS - (7) KATINKA

25 Race 6 1. RAVEN RIDGE - Five wins from fifty career starts but a poor a effort in a Class E race at Croise-Laroche last time out 2. GREY SENSATION - Four wins from forty seven and back on a fair handicap mark today. Can have a say 3. EZPELETAKO - Gets a 3 Kg penalty for his win in a Class G handicap at Salon-Provence last time out. Place claims 4. CALINA - Has yet to win after twenty six starts but does pop up in the places every now and then 5. CHUCK SPORT - Five wins from forty six starts and has the form to get competitive here too 6. BERET - Won two handicaps from his last five starts but on a tough mark at present 7. GOJICI - Showed signs of a return to form at Bordeaux last month but well beaten at Tarbes since 8. ASAP - Has shown encouraging signs in recent outings which bode well for her chances here 9. CLOUD - Running well at present and going for a hat trick of wins today. Not without a chance 10. CATUSHABA - Eight victories from eighty seven and runner up in a claimer here last month. Can be in the mix 11. SOMBRE HEROS - Four wins from forty five starts including a handicap at Saint-Cloud last month. Respected 12. DANI BLUE - Was in fair form this year before disappointing here last time out. Stiff test today 13. CONVICTED - In good form lately. Runner up in two of his last three and can have a say again today 14. NOSTALBOWL - Won two in a row at Cagnes-sur-Mer earlier in the season but out of form at the moment 15. RUE DE RIVOLI - Won two handicaps in April at Saint-Cloud and Cholet and continues to run well. Has a chance here 16. BLACK BIRD RUNS - Seven wins from fifty three career starts but others make a lot more appeal today 17. OOI LONG - Has been placed three times in Belgium lately but hard to recommend on the evidence of his French form 18. AMIRAL - Struggling to regain winning form. Has been very unreliable this

26 year. Others preferred (9) CLOUD got back to winning ways at Chatillon in April and followed that up with a three length win from (2) GREY SENSATION in a Class E race at Croise- Laroche earlier this month. She escapes a penalty for those wins and can confirm those placings today. (10) CATUSHABA and (8) ASAP are both running well at present and must come in to the reckoning. Last time out winner (NP) EZPELETAKO is next best. (9) CLOUD - (2) GREY SENSATION - (10) CATUSHABA - (8) ASAP

27 Race 7 1. PARK TOWER - A hard fought win in a Class 1 race at Angers last month and is not ruled out here 2. ZANZI WIN - Dual winner from sixteen starts and a creditable effort in a Class 1 race at Maisons-Laffitte last time out 3. PRINCESS GOLD - Won twice last year and runner up in a Class 2 race at Saint-Cloud last month. Respected here 4.

FAKIR BERE - Unplaced in a handicap at Maisons-Laffitte earlier this month and has it all to do here 10.

On a fair mark 12. STILL IN LOVE - Raised 3.5 Kg for her win in a handicap at Dieppe last time out. Tougher test today (3) PRINCESS GOLD finished runner behind Crown walk last time out in a Class 1 race at Saint-Cloud. The winner there has since finished second behind Mission Impassible in a Group Two race at Chantilly so that form looks good. She can make a winning hasndicap debut today. (5) MASSINA and (1) PARK TOWER look the main dangers to the selection. (4) FLORAVISE is next best. (3) PRINCESS GOLD - (5) MASSINA - (1) PARK TOWER - (4) FLORAVISE

29 Race 8 1. DESTINEE DU BOIS - A close second behind Ironstone in a Class G handicap at Lyon Parilly last month and can go close again today 2. NIMO - Three wins from thirty one starts but needs to jump up on recent form to feature today 3. SIR GIN - Has been sliding down the handicap and cannot be discounted off his present mark 4. MOCKLERSHILL - Won a Class G race at Tours last October and has had a few decent efforts since then 5. AKOHOL - Second at Tours last month and runner up twice in Belgium since then and can grab a place 6. LOTREXTREMDUMILIEU - Runs pretty well in low grade claimers and handicaps but likely to find a few too good today 7. LOUBLUE - Runner up in a Class E handicap at Chantilly last time out and is not without a chance today 8. GROWNSTARK - Won a handicap in Belgium last month but well beaten in a claimer at Dieppe since 9. INCA LIBRE - Unplaced in a Class G claimer at Langon-Libourne earlier this month. Others preferred 10. BLUE MASTER - Runner up behind Silver Treasure in a Class G handicap at Croise-Laroche this month. Can be in the mix 11. SNOW DREAM - Last of three wins came at Pornichet in April but a poor run in a Class G handicap at Croise-Laroche this month 12. EASTERN PROMISE - Won at Angers last month but a poor effort in a Class G claimer at Lion-D'Angers recently 13. PEINTRE FRANCAIS - Won a handicap at Strasbourg last month but well beaten at Bordeaux since then 14. SAAD - Dual winner from twenty seven career runs but on a long losing sequence at the moment 15.

DUKE IGOR - Sixth behind Lucky Lawyer in a Class G handicap at Tarbes this month. More required 18. TIBERIO - Has been sliding down the handicap since his last win in August of

30 2016.Interesting here (18) TIBERIO had his last success in August 2016 in a Class E handicap at Deauville. He is now racing off a 5 Kg lower mark and has been showing some better signs lately. He gets a tentative vote ahead of (1) DESTINEE DU BOIS who was only just touched off in a handicap at Lyon Parilly last month. (10) BLUE MASTER and (7) LOUBLUE have both been knocking on the door lately and cannot be ruled out. (3) SIR GIN is another one to consider. (18) TIBERIO - (1) DESTINEE DU BOIS - (10) BLUE MASTER - (7) LOUBLUE - (3) SIR GIN

SAINT JULIEN - Showed nice improvement when winnin g latest start. More needed under a penalty. 2. ONE FLY - Fair debut last year but did not repeat in three starts this year. More needed to win 3. A GREAT NEWS - Fair first three starts but may need to do more than that to win this race 4. RISKY STAR - Looking for a hat-trick. Has been supplemented so does deserve some respect 5. LALYROSE - Fit and is in good form. Is likely to fight out the finish once again 6. MEDITIA - Battling for second win but is in good form and should be in the final shake-up 7. BUXUS - A bit unreliable but has been supplemented for this race so could finish in the money 8. CAPTUR - Well beaten in all three starts and needs to make major improvement to win 9. PRALEEN - Holding form and has been supplemented for this race. Has a chance 10. BELLE VENDOME - Modest last run and is best watched for improvement. Others are much preferred (5) LALYROSE has run two good races off this mark and looks likely to win soon. This race could well be it. (1) SAINT JULIEN is coming off a nice win. He has risen 3 pounds for that win but may well be good enough to win again. (6) MEDITIA and (9) PRALEEN are both in good enough form to run well again and must be considered.

32 (5) LALYROSE - (1) SAINT JULIEN - (6) MEDITIA - (9) PRALEEN

33 Race 2 1. TALISMANA - A bit disappointing recently but has been supplemented for this race. Chance 2. QUAI DE JEMMAPES - Won nicely over this course and distance last time out. Carries a 2kg penalty 3. ISACC - Fit and ready for this. More needed to win but could earn some minor money 4. ZEPHIR - A bit disappointing this year but could play a minor role if in the mood 5. SIMFAUST - Runner-up over this tarck and distance last time out. Looking to go one better 6. BEAU TEMPS - Has been unreliable this year but is capable of finishing in the money 7. DARLING DE LOIRE - Well beaten last time out but has been supplemented for this race. Can place 8. MYXIAS DE PIREY - Modest form this year but rating keeps dropping so can improve. Might place 9. LE NAVARO - Probably needed coem back run but is likely to do better when next seen over obstacles (5) SIMFAUST and (2) QUAI DE JEMMAPES fought out the finish of their latest start and with the weight change-over the result could switch this time but that cannot be taken for certain. (1) TALISMANA is capable of better and is not out of it in this small field. (3) ISACC is another that could get involved with the finish. (5) SIMFAUST - (2) QUAI DE JEMMAPES - (1) TALISMANA - (3) ISACC

34 Race 3 1. GRAF - A bit disappointing recently and needs to find a few lengths to win this race 2. BOLCHEVIK - Should be competitive off current mark and can go close to winning this race 3. VIKING'S - Versatile and has run well over this course and distance. Not out of it 4. FLYING SCOTSMAN - Much improved last run and has been supplemented for this race. Consider 5. THALIE AGLAE - poor form but has been supplemented for this race so can make improvement 6. JUST YOU AND ME - Has been struggling all year and needs major improvement to win this race 7. CELLALANDO - Unreliable and last three runs were only modest. Needs to do more to win 8. GO FAST BLUE - Battling to regain best form but drop in distance could suit. Might place (2) BOLCHEVIK is comfortable at this track and more can be read into his run last time as he should have finished a lot closer. Ridden more forcefully this time will suit him. (3) VIKING'S continues to hold his form and deserves a win but may have to be runner-up once again. (4) FLYING SCOTSMAN and (8) GO FAST BLUEcould also earn some money. (2) BOLCHEVIK - (3) VIKING'S - (4) FLYING SCOTSMAN - (8) GO FAST BLUE

35 Race 4 1. EMBRUN DU LARGE - Fit and ready for this. Has a winning chance returning to hurdles. Go close 2. ELUE DE SIVOLA - In good form this year and is distance suited. Should be right there at the finish 3. MONA KERBILI - In good form and looks likely to go very close to winning this race. Big chance 4. SOLEMARE - Fair recent form. More needed to win this race. Can play a minor role at best 5. EN AVANT FOREZ - Fair last two runs and does have a winning chance in this line-up. Consider 6. HIGH ALPHA - In good form and appears distance suited, Deserves the utmost respect in an open race A small field but it could prove to be more competitive than what first meets the eye. Clearly (3) MONA KERBILI is the one to beat in the race but he will be made to work hard. (6) HIGH ALPHA has done well enough when third in the last two starts and should fight out the finish. (1) EMBRUN DU LARGE is another that will not go down without a fight. (3) MONA KERBILI - (6) HIGH ALPHA - (1) EMBRUN DU LARGE - (5) EN AVANT FOREZ

36 Race 5 1. MILLION DREAMS - Good debut when third and could win this race with further improvement likely 2. EVITA KANT - Fair fourth on debut and is likely to do even better this time. Utmost respect 3. LADY ARKADINA - Good first two runs but has not repated in her nest two start. Not out of it 4. GRAY ROUGNETTE - Modest debut but is likely to improve but probably best watched for now 5. OCAGNA - First run for a Mayson filly out of Rhodagna. Deserves respect on debut 6. HEIDEE - A Alhebayeb filly out of Hms Pinafore. May need this debut experience. Others preferred (1) MILLION DREAMSshowed enough on her debut at Saint Cloud and with just normal improvement should win soon and this small field looks idea for her. (2) EVITA KANT will need to improve a bit to win this race but was not disgraced when fourth on debut. (3) LADY ARKADINAseems to have regressed lately but is clearly capable of better. (1) MILLION DREAMS - (2) EVITA KANT - (3) LADY ARKADINA - (6) HEIDEE

37 Race 6 1. ESPRIT DE QUARTIER - Fit and is distance suited. May need to do more to win but is clearly not out of it 2. SCOUT TOUJOURS - A bit disappointing last time out. Has yet to win and others may have the upper hand 3. ECOLE D'ESTRUVAL - Looking for a hat-trick of wins after soem nice performances. The one to beat 4. SCAT SUCCES - Not disgraced when fourth in latest. Could do even better trying the larger obstacles 5. SERIAL - Good last win. Needs to confirm that form over the large obstacles returning from a break Only five runners turned up for this and the Macaire trained (3) ECOLE D'ESTRUVAL could complete the hat-trick. She was solid enough in both of her recent wins and is clearly going to be hard to beat. (5) SERIAL returns from a break but if fit and well could be the biggest threat. (1) ESPRIT DE QUARTIER and (2) SCOUT TOUJOURS could battle out the minor places. (3) ECOLE D'ESTRUVAL - (5) SERIAL - (1) ESPRIT DE QUARTIER - (2) SCOUT TOUJOURS

38 Race 7 1. GALANT BELIN - A bit unreliable and has been better on the PSF but has been supplemented for this race 2. DRAKKAR ART - Holding form well and looks likely to get out of the maiden ranks this time 3. GOLD BIANCO - First run for a Anodincolt out of Intolerance. Cannot be dismissed away easily 4. KATDAR - A Kendargent gelding out of Katelyns Kiss. Has been supplemented for this race. Respect (2) DRAKKAR ART has held his form well and could prove to be very hard to beat in this small field. He does deserve a win.(1) GALANT BELINand (4) KATDARhave both been supplemented for this race and must be given some respect.(3) GOLD BIANCOis making his debut and might battle in this small fieldand over this distance. (2) DRAKKAR ART - (4) KATDAR - (1) GALANT BELIN

39 VIRE - 30th June Trainer of the day : Sébastien Ernault (307, 306, 501) Driver of the day : Sébastien Baude (201, 404) Horse of the day : Black Charm (114) Dark Horse : Césario Bello (204) Race 1 1. COPERNIC DE PLAY - Particularly hard to fault at present and difficult to bet against. One to beat 2. AMAZONE DU MONT - Reassured under the saddle last time but things look tougher back under harness 3. ANRY DE L'ECLAIR - Just the one run this term and likely to need this race. Fully shod and best to watch 4. CANDIDAT D'ORTIGE - Back in the game on turf last time. Has the best possible draw here and can stake a claim 5. AZUR DE CARINA - Much preferred under the saddle and although well-drawn today, is hard to fancy 6. COMTE DU VIVIER - Capable sort on both turf and sand. Tends to make the running and should be respected 7. ALTESSE BLUE - Won six on the trot last year. Disappointing this term and needs to reaffirm 8. ARMADA BUROISE - Not the best of draw and modest recent form. Others are preferred 9. BALL TRAP - More effective under the saddle and will have limited aspirations back under harness 10. BE BOP MESLOIS - Obvious lack of consistency but capable on a good day and can grab a place 11. CALLIJO DELBI - Third to (1) COPERNIC DE PLAY at Vichy last time. Ran well on this occasion and should be thereabouts once again 12. BAHAMAS - Going through a rough patch and is unlikely to trouble the judge 13. ARIANE D'ARRY - Cannot be worth any consideration on paper and can easily be passed over 14. BLACK CHARM - Reassured at Caen last time out. Is distance-suited and should go well despite the poor draw

40 (1) COPERNIC DE PLAY has been flying high since March and if in similar form today, he will take a power of beating. (6) COMTE DU VIVIER has plenty of early speed and is expected to make the running. He can go far and looks the biggest threat to the selection. (11) CALLIJO DELBI was a sound third behind the selection at Vichy. He caught the eye on this occasion and must be afforded respect. (1) COPERNIC DE PLAY - (6) COMTE DU VIVIER - (11) CALLIJO DELBI - (4) CANDIDAT D'ORTIGE

41 Race 2 1. CAID DE CAPONET - Back on top of his game in last three starts. Has a good inside draw and should go close 2. CALYPSO D'HARCOUEL - Very capable horse in the ridden code but things look tough here and can be watched 3. CADOR DE BABEL - Reassured at Meslay last time following three sanctions in a row and can follow up 4. CESARIO BELLO - Flopped at Chateaubriant following a run of good performances in this division. Can be given another chance 5. CE RETOUR D'OSCAR - Has been knocking in recent starts. Well-drawn and should be at the premises 6. CROMY - Trounced the field at Saint-Omer. Drop in distance is unlikely to be an issue. Player 7. CABALLO D'AURE - Four time winner from 42. Much more effective when racing unshod and others are preferred 8. COMTE DES TITHAIS - Enjoyed a fruitful spring but disappointed in last three and must reaffirm 9. CHARMEUR DU VIVIER - Modest recent form. First time behind the autostart. Has a poor draw and can be watched 10. CAPTAIN BLEU - Recorded his last three victories on turf and will struggle to make an impact here 11. CATHY DU MARIN - Had an excellent start to the year but appears to have lost his way recently 12. CAUZIKI DU RIB - One win and two places from three starts this term. Poor draw but still, cannot be overlooked (1) CAID DE CAPONET is back on terms with himself as show his last three runs. Back on sand following an easy victory on turf at Avranches, he goes barefoot today and deserves the utmost respect. (6) CROMY displayed a very promising winning effort at Saint-Omer and looks all set to step up in grade with success. (4) CESARIO BELLO is better than his last effort suggests. (1) CAID DE CAPONET - (6) CROMY - (4) CESARIO BELLO - (3) CADOR DE

42 BABEL

43 Race 3 1. BELLAGIO FEAT - Inconsistent but capable of filling a minor place if in the mood to run 2. CAGNOISE D'AGON - Very hard to fault of late and should again figure prominently 3. ANGE DU BONHEUR - Unexceptional horse that has placed just twice in last 21 starts and will have too much to do 4. CAMOMILLE DE BLAY - Going through a rough patch but won two from three under the saddle so far 5. BACCHUS - Caused a big disappointment at Lyon subsequently to two solid efforts in this code 6. CLOCLO DU CHERISAY - Pleased on sole start in this code at Cherbourg last April and should show some progress 7. CALIFORNIE OF LOVE - Not the most consistent mare but has ability and can make the frame if in the mood 8. BOUGLY - Hard to fault in this code but at lower level and will have limited aspirations 9. CORFOU - Won the last race she has finished. Encountered misfortunes in the running last time at Bordeaux. Can make amends 10. AMARDO - Down the field in all four starts this term and is unlikely to shake things up 11. ALBERTAINS - One win and four flops from five runs this term. Many others are more reliable 12. APOLLON D'ILLE - Modest recent form and looks hard to retain on switchback to ridden racing 13. AS DE CREPON - Not in the frame since May last year and recent form does little to attract any support (9) CORFOU was first passed the post last time out at Bordeaux but subsequently disqualified after an inquiry. He is in for redemtpion today and gets the vote to resume winning ways. (2) CAGNOISE D'AGON has improved significantly in recent weeks and must be shortlisted. Both (7) CALIFORNIE OF LOVE and (6) CLOCLO DU CHERISAY have the credentials to feature in a race like this.

44 (9) CORFOU - (2) CAGNOISE D'AGON - (7) CALIFORNIE OF LOVE - (6) CLOCLO DU CHERISAY

45 Race 4 1. DIVINE D'ECROVILLE - Has not finished in the frame since end of September last year and is unlikely to change this figure 2. DUMPING DU PARC - Ran below-par at Lisieux last time. Is proven under these conditions and has a good draw today 3. DUNE D'AVIGNERE - Has not run for more than two months and faces a stiff task in this division. Watch 4. DIAMANT DE MONCHEL - Hard-fought win in a claimer at Vincennes last time out. Has an excellent draw and must be considered 5. DINES DU CHATELET - Got back in the game at Lisieux last time out. Is a course winner and looks interesting from this draw 6. DARWIN DU RIB - Six time winner from 22. Ran better than last placing suggests and has to be monitored 7. DAZIO BEST - Won well under the saddle last time out and should be respected back under harness 8. DAUPHINE DE CLECY - Has been in excellent form in past six weeks and looks a sound podium contender despite her poor draw 9. DOUGLAS KERYVON - Down the field on both starts since returning from the spell. Hard to fancy 10. DIMITRIA DE LA NOE - Just the one win from 39 and must show vast improvement on recent efforts to play a role 11. DESTIN VENESI - Useful horse under the saddle but has no realistic chance from this draw and back in this discipline 12. DANSEUR DELO - Looks totally out of his league in this line-up and can be passed over (6) DARWIN DU RIB was not beaten far at Lisieux and a repeat of this performance shall see him play a major role here today. (7) DAZIO BEST won impressively under the saddle last time out and is definitely worth a look in back under harness. (4) DIAMANT DE MONCHEL is worth more than a claimer and should be in the mix. (2) DUMPING DU PARC is not one to be underrated. (6) DARWIN DU RIB - (7) DAZIO BEST - (4) DIAMANT DE MONCHEL - (2)
