Esimakua Prix de Cornulieristä

Esimakua Prix de Cornulieristä Viisi- ja kuusivuotiaiden montéhevosten Prix Edmond Henryssä on tarjolla esimakua Prix de Cornulieristä, sillä mukana on viime tammikuussa montén pääkilpailun voittanut Bellissima France ja kolmanneksi sijoittunut Bilibili. Kaksikon haastaa vasta toisen kerran montéssa kilpaileva Traders. Tänä vuonna Prix Edmond Henryn voittaja saa ensimmäisen kerran kutsun Prix de Cornulieriin. 3. lähtö: Prix Edmond Henry, m (Gr II, 5-6) 2700 metriä volttilähetys Prix de Cornulier-voittaja 8 Bellissima France on juossut tänä syksynä kaksi kärrylähtöä yli puolen vuoden tauon jälkeen. Viisi viimeistä montéstarttiaan voittanut tamma juoksee kengittä kuten viime talvena. Philippe Allairen valmentama 4 Traders voitti montédebyyttinsä Prix Alfred Lefèvren syyskuussa vakuuttavasti. Italialaisoriilla on sen verran vähän rahaa, että voitto varmistaisi paikan Cornulierissä. 7 Bilibili on startannut vasta kerran tauon jälkeen eikä siltä oteta vielä takakenkiä pois kuten Cornulierissä. Troikassa kannattaa huomioida myös syyskuussa ikäluokkien välisen Prix des Elitesin (Gr I) voittanut 6 Cyprien des Bordes ja alkukaudesta hyvin menestynyt, mutta sen jälkeen neljä kertaa hylätty 5 Canadien d Am. A: 8, 4, B: 7, 6, 5 2. lähtö: Prix de Montignac-Charente (EU, 6-10) 2700 metriä volttilähetys Ranskan valtakunnallisen quinté-pelin kohteena alle 450 000 euroa voittaneiden vanhempien EU-hevosten lähtö. Viikko sitten kovemmassa porukassa kolmanneksi jääneellä 5 Bakchichillä on hyvät mahdollisuudet palata voittokantaan. Vahvasti sarjoissaan tällä kaudella nousseelta Jean-Michel Baziren 7 Azaro d Evalta otetaan pitkästä aikaa kaikki kengät pois. Kaksikon haastaa vasta toisen kerran Vincennesissä vieraileva Etelä- Ranskassa pääosin kilpaileva 10 Balbir, joka debytoi kengittä. Ulkomaisista hevosista parhaat mahdollisuudet menestyä on Billard-Souloy Teamin italialaisoriilla 8 Specialesilla. Ranskalaishevosista kannattaa huomioida myös usein sijoittuvat 3 Bad Boy du Dollar ja 15 Unero Montaval. A: 5, 7, 10 B: 8, 3, 15 Vihjeet: Risto Olamo PMU:n vihjeet englanniksi Vincennes 20 th November Race 1: Prix de Briancon 2700m Mounted 3yoF Grade B 48.000 1. EPSILA DANICA - Qualified for racing in 1'18'7 at Caen on 21 September. Watch betting for clues 2. ERIA FORLIFE - Has never made the frame in eleven starts in this discipline. Best to watch 3. ETINCELLE DE ROCHA - Finished third in a class E over 2200m here last time. Cannot be ruled out 4. ESMEE DE CAREL - Disqualified on both starts over course and distance. Poor recent form

5. ELISA MUSICA - Has shown a large amount of ability in this discipline but endured stride issues in last two starts 6. EASY ONE - Never won a race from 20 starts but finished fourth in a Group II over course and distance last time 7. ELVIRA FLIGNY - Has shown ability and consistency in this discipline and can be in the mix 8. ELLA DU CHENE - Tends to go well when not disqualified. Can win if in the mood 9. ENSOLEILLEE - Has never run a bad race in this discipline and must be respected 10. ETOILE DE BRUYERE - Firing on all cylinders since September and should be closely monitored 11. ENIGMA JET - Won three in a row earlier in the year but things have gone the wrong way lately. Could bounce back at a nice price 12. EBONY D'OURVILLE - Smart performer in this discipline. Best to forget last two starts in harness and should show a much better figure 13. ESPERANZA BROUETS - Course and distance winner. Looks held for success but remains a sound place contender 14. ESPELLA VEDAQUAISE - Three solid efforts in this discipline thus far and steps up in grade with every chance 15. ENIGMA VICI - Displayed two solid efforts in this discipline last September. Four modest runs in harness since then (10) ETOILE DE BRUYERE was an impressive winner of her last start on the inner course. She is still well behind in earnings and should acquit herself well once again. (14) ESPELLA VEDAQUAISE has displayed three solid efforts in this discipline thus far and looks a sound podium contender. (12) EBONY D'OURVILLE can feature prominently if applied. Selections: (10) ETOILE DE BRUYERE - (14) ESPELLA VEDAQUAISE - (12) EBONY D'OURVILLE - (11) ENIGMA JET Race 2: Prix de Montignc-Charente 2700m Harness race 6-10yo Course Européenne Grade A 88.000 1. ALTO DU LYS - Smart horse under the saddle and nlikely to be ready for this. Best to be watched 2. BAXTER DU KLAU - Flying high since the turn of the year but fully shod today and must have another race on the agenda 3. BAD BOY DU DOLLAR - Has had health problems for most of the season but has shown progress in last two starts and cannot be ruled out 4. ZONGULDAK - Much preferred over flat tracks but pleased when fourth in the Quinte on 6 November and can run into the placings once again 5. BAKCHICH - Front runer who has been in fine form since September and should once again acquit himself well 6. TELL ME NO LIES - Not disgraced in the Quinte run on 6 November and should come on for the race. Can place 7. AZARO D'EVA - Has shown significant progress since trained by Jean-Michel Bazire. Registered a career best effort over 2100m last time 8. SPECIALESS - Needed the run last time out but Franck Nivard steps in for the ride today so should be on top of his game 9. PERKINS GRIF - Disqualified on comeback run and likely to need this race too. Others preferred 10. BALBIR - Solid performer in Centre-East France. Impressed in last winning start at Marseille. Player

11. VENUS DE BAILLY - Did not get the best of runs last two times out but definitely has the ability to feature 12. ROMANESQUE - Has failed to shine under the saddle lately and looks hard to fancy on switchback to harness 13. BAHIA QUESNOT - Lacks consistency but very capable mare on a good day. Should come on from last run 14. ANETTE DU MIREL - Last race's form has worked out well and looks capable of popping-up at a fair odds 15. UNERO MONTAVAL - Won an indentical race last winter. Has been running well since. Shoes off and top-pilote on board 16. QUICK FIX - Not much to like on recent form but faces a task within his range this time round. Can feature 17. BOEING DU BOCAGE - Has been performing below-par lately but returns to his preferred discipline and should acquit himself well 18. UPPERCUT DU HOULET - Much preferred under the saddle and unlikely to trouble the judge (7) AZARO D'EVA is a totally different horse since trained by Jean-Michel Bazire and he still showed some significant progress in his last start over 2100m. Back over his preferred distance today, he should prove hard to beat. (5) BAKCHICH is another who has improved lately. He managed to win two Quintes in a row last month and is the main danger to the selection. (15) UNERO MONTAVAL is a capable horse but seldom wins races. Selections: (7) AZARO D'EVA - (5) BAKCHICH - (15) UNERO MONTAVAL - (10) BALBIR - (3) BAD BOY DU DOLLAR - (8) SPECIALESS - (17) BOEING DU BOCAGE - (11) VENUS DE BAILLY Race 3: Prix Edmond Henry 2700m Mounted 5-6yo International Gr II 120.000 1. CODIE DE BEAULIEU - Looks out of contention in a race of this nature and best to ignore 2. BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY - Did not get the best of run on comeback race here at the beginning of the month. Should come on for the race 3. CHABLIS D'HERFRAIE - Surprised when runner-up in a Group I last September. Unlikely to reproduce such feat here 4. TRADERS - Top-class performer in harness racing. Won a Group III on sole start under the saddle last September 5. CANADIEN D'AM - Displayed some impressive efforts in this discipline last winter. Disqualified last five times out 6. CYPRIEN DES BORDES - Very smart horse under the saddle but possibly better over shorter distances 7. BILIBILI - Multiple Group I winner under the saddle. Will come on a lot from return to action. Player 8. BELLISSIMA FRANCE - Winner of the Prix de Cornulier last winter. Has had two prep races for this. Leading contender (8) BELLISSIMA FRANCE has shaped up well in harness races and makes a much awaited return to her preferred discipline. She was crowned the best horse under the saddle earlier in the season when landing the coveted prix de Cornulier. (4) TRADERS must have a lot of progress to offer as he only raced once under the saddle so far. Still, he managed to win a Group III on that occasion... Selections: (8) BELLISSIMA FRANCE - (4) TRADERS - (7) BILIBILI - (5) CANADIEN D'AM

Race 4: Prix de Barenton (Groupe A) 2700m Harness race 5yoC+G Grade D 42.000 1. CHOUCHOU DU ROC - Faces a tough assignment in this class of event and best to watch 2. CASTELLO FABULET - Has shown his limits in this class of event and others are preferred 3. CEDRE DES VAUCHAUX - Has failed to make an impact in three starts over course and distance 4. CABALLO DUBRIO - Finished third in a good race at Nantes on 12 November and looks capable of featuring here again 5. CARDINAL - Has never made the frame in six starts at this course thus far and unlikely to change this figure 6. CHEF DAIRPET - Generally runs well over course and distance. Has two races under his belt and must be respected 7. CONCERTO COINTERIE - Smart horse in the Province but has a bit to prove at Vincennes 8. COLIBRI DES PINS - Useful in the Province but has a poor record at Vincennes. Best to watch 9. CAPAC - Two modest runs over course and distance thus far and latest form does not inspire confidence 10. COKTO DU BELLAY - Did not go unnoticed after early disqualification at Cabourg and can be the surprise package in this race 11. CYRUS DE CAYOLA - Registered a career best effort on the inner track on 10 November. Must have more to offer 12. COQUIN DE FONTAINE - Won five from nine in the Province since the turn of the year. Has to be hugely considered 13. CZAR DU VAAL - Ultra-consistent sort in the Province. Always goes well without shoes Player (6) CHEF DAIRPET has had two prep races for this and all of his shoes come off. He won under same conditions eleven months ago over course and distance and looks the pick. (11) CYRUS DE CAYOLA is on a hat trick and will gather a lot of support judged on his last winning effort. A winner of five of his last seven starts, (12) COQUIN DE FONTAINE also enters calculations. Selections: (6) CHEF DAIRPET - (11) CYRUS DE CAYOLA - (12) COQUIN DE FONTAINE - (13) CZAR DU VAAL Race 5: Prix de Barenton (Groupe B) 2700m Harness race 5yoC+G Grade D 42.000 1. CARMIN - Useful sort in the Province but has a few lengths to find to feature in a race like this 2. CEDAR KERYVON - Should come on a lot from comeback run but still has a lot to prove in this league 3. COLONEL CEHERE - Won over course and distance on 10 October. Has been in mixed form since then 4. CAGNARD DE BETTON - Easy winner of his last start at Saint-Brieuc. Form of this race has worked out extremely well 5. CICERO FACE - Has failed to make an impact in six starts at Vincennes. Unlikely to trouble the judge 6. CESARIO VICI - Good last run over course and distance but this was in April. Has been in poor form since then but shoes come off today 7. CANULAR - Has been running well for most of the season. Looks interesting on his penultimate effort 8. CADET - Much more performing under the saddle and unlikley to make an impact 9. COCOON AGE - Second passed the post at Cabourg but was subsequently disqualified after an inquiry. Expected to make amends today 10. CRACK DE PEBRISY - Not without a certain amount of ability but has a poor record over course and distance 11. CAVALINO SACHA - Back to himself in last two runs. All shoes come off and should be considered 12. CAID DE CHANLECY - Easy winner at Saint-Galmier last time out and steps up in grade with claims 13. CHOCHO DE GUEZ - Made late headways at Bordeaux last week and can be in the mix

The last time (6) CESARIO VICI has been seen running without shoes, he scored over this course and distance. This was in April and he has done little to impress since then but still, he must be worth a look in and could get back in the winners box at a nice price. (13) CHOCHO DE GUEZ ran well in defeat at Bordeaux last time out and isn't ruled out. Watch for (4) CAGNARD DE BETTON. Selections: (6) CESARIO VICI - (13) CHOCHO DE GUEZ - (4) CAGNARD DE BETTON - (9) COCOON AGE Race 6: Prix de Senonnes 2700m Harness race 3yoF Grade D 37.000 1. EBELLA AIMEF - Won two in the Province last winter. Has it all to prove at Vincennes 2. ENA JOSSELYN - Never in sight on comeback run on 1 November. Betting should prove indicative 3. ELARA FRAZEENNE - Capable sort in the Province but disqualified two from two at this course 4. EXCITING LADY - Not sighted in three starts back from a layoff and has a bit to prove 5. ETALIA - Well beaten on debut at Vincennes ten days ago. Needs to show progress 6. ELECTRA DU VIVIER - Looked promising on first run at Vincennes last month. Open to improvement 7. EDITH STYLE - Has failed to make an impact in three runs at this course and can be passed over 8. EARLY STAR - Easy winner on comeback run here over 2200m. Extra-trip will favour. Chance 9. ETOILE DES YEDRAG - Two good runs since back in action last month and should feature prominently 10. ELITE DES LOUANGES - Very capable sort in the Province. Never a factor on sole start at Vincennes 11. EXTASIA BELLA - Looked promising last winter but has not lived-up to expectations since then 12. ETONNE DE CARSI - Improving with each runs. Hard fought win over 2100m last time. Has more to offer 13. ELLA DE MAI - Outclassed rivals in a grade C at La Rochelle a fortnight ago. Looks set to take on better horses at present 14. ESPERANZA IDOLE - Smart performer in the Province but things look tougher on first run at Vincennes 15. ELIZALDE VRIE - Not devoid of ability but unlikely to go off the mark in a race like this (13) ELLA DE MAI impressed when winning at La Rochelle last time out and a repeat of this effort shall see her record a sixth career victory. (6) ELECTRA DU VIVIER has not stopped improving over the summer and might be a danger to the selection with further progress. (12) ETONNE DE CARSI won well over the inner course last time and is another for the shortlist. Selections: (13) ELLA DE MAI - (6) ELECTRA DU VIVIER - (12) ETONNE DE CARSI - (8) EARLY STAR Race 7: Prix de Loudon 2850m Harness race 4yoF Grade C 60.000 1. DRAPANIE - Disqualified on comeback run at Laval. Had shown capabilities last winter. Can surprise 2. DYNAMITE DU SAPTEL - Has done little to impress since the turn of the year and best to watch 3. DIVINE GIRL - Never in sight on comeback run. All shoes still on and may be best to watch 4. DIANA DES LUCAS - Dual course winner. Has been in good heart since back in action last September 5. DAISY JENILOU - Disappointed in last three starts but has plenty of stamina and cannot be ruled out 6. DARK NIGHT LOVE - Won six races in a row last winter. Has two races under her belt and all shoes come off for the first time 7. DECENNIE - Course winner. Made a promising return to action at Saint-Brieuc a fortnight ago 8. DIVINE D'ECAJEUL - Has shown significant progress since racing without shoes. Player 9. DIVA BEAUREGARD - Much improved when running barefoot and this is the case today 10. DOUCE LIGNERIES - Has been struggling with form in past 17 months and unlikely to play role 11. DIANE DE FREDLAU - Much more competitive under the saddle and unlikely to pose a treat 12. DONA MAZA - Capable sort on both codes but returns from a two months break and may need the run

13. DANSE D'ETANG - On the upgrade curve and ideally entered. A definite player A winner of six races in a row last winter including three at Vincennes, (6) DARK NIGHT LOVE is expected to make a big impact while racing barefoot for the first time of her career. (8) DIVINE D'ECAJEUL does not know how to run a bad race and looks a sound contender although she will need to improve to challenge the selection. (13) DANSE D'ETANG and (7) DECENNIE are two more for the shortlist. Selections: (6) DARK NIGHT LOVE - (8) DIVINE D'ECAJEUL - (13) DANSE D'ETANG - (7) DECENNIE Race 8: Prix de Castelnaudary 2850m Harness race 4yoC+G Grade E 36.000 1. DAIM DU RUISSEAU - Creditable effort on comeback run two weeks ago but still plenty to find 2. DRAGSTER DE BOMO - Has come to terms with himself since July and should make his presence felt 3. DORANIC FOUTEAU - Won over course and distance in a sound 1'14'8 last September. Two poor runs since 4. DREAM DU ROUSSOIR - Never a danger in four starts this season and has quite a bit to find 5. DEFI DE SUBLIGNY - Not disgraced here last time over 2200m and should enjoy the rise in distance 6. DOMINGO BELLO - Needs to do more than what he has shown in the Province recently. Not a priority 7. DONUTS - Not the best of run when third in a class D at Enghien last month. Place chance 8. DECLIC DU SOLEIL - Off the mark at Enghien last June. Has done nothing of note since then 9. DJANGO DU BANNEY - Ran well despite disqualification at Le Croise-Laroche last time. Cannot be ruled out 10. DIAMANT DU NIL - Useful sort in the Province but has too much to find back at Vincennes 11. DON'T FORGET - Has demonstrated a fair amount of capability in the Province. Looks interesting on first run at Vincennes 12. DONATELLO KILY - Unbeaten in five starts last year. Well in contention when disqualified on return to action at Le Croise-Laroche 13. DAKOTA DE PLOMB - Ran better than placing suggests at Laval and cannot be excluded of the equation 14. DIABLO DE CAPONET - Registered a career best effort when narrowly defeated here over 2200m a fortnight ago 15. DAMOCLEY DE BEA - Outclassed rivals in a grade F at Lyon last time and steps up in grade with claims 16. DIRE STRAITS - Has shown progress in past two month and could grab a small place with further improvement (3) DORANIC FOUTEAU won well over course and distance at the beginning of September, but he has since posted two modest efforts in the Province. Nonetheless he scored in a very good time on this occasion and should be given the benefit of the doubt. Second to the selection here on 4 September, (11) DON'T FORGET should run into the money once again. (14) DIABLO DE CAPONET would have won here last time had he kept in line in the final strides. Selections: (3) DORANIC FOUTEAU - (11) DON'T FORGET - (14) DIABLO DE CAPONET - (12) DONATELLO KILY - (2) DRAGSTER DE BOMO Race 9: Prix de Cormelles 2850m Mounted 4yoC+G Grade E 37.000 1. DAHLIA DU BON AIR - Finished third to Delicieux du Cebe last time out over course and distance. Place prospect 2. DAVAO JIEL - Showed better intentions in last run at Cabourg but still has a few lengths to find

3. DREAM DE MORGANE - Enduring stride issues at present and needs to show vast improvement to feature 4. DASTERIEN - Very capable sort in this discipline and looks a sound place prospect if applied 5. DIDEROT BLUE - Should come on from return to action. All shoes come off today and looks capable of grabbing a place 6. DOCSPEL SEVEN - Not sighted on comeback run at Les Sables d'olonne. All shoes come off today so best to keep an eye on him 7. DUC DE PIENCOURT - A model of consistency in this discipline and although seldom wins races, should be thereabouts 8. DOW JONES EMGE - Generally struggles to keep in stride but goes well when in the mood 9. DIADEM BOY - Disqualified on both starts back from a spell and has a lot to find 10. DAZIO BEST - Has been struggling all season and looks hard to fancy on first start under the saddle 11. DELICIEUX DU CEBE - Sound winner of a class E over track and trip last time. Can follow-up 12. DAGUET DU RIB - Good last two runs in this discipline and returns to Vincennes with legitimate claims (11) DELICIEUX DU CEBE made quite an impression when winning here over course and distance last week and is taken to make it two in a row. Danger might come from (12) DAGUET DU RIB whose confidence is boosted after his last two good runs in the Province. (6) DOCSPEL SEVEN and (8) DOW JONES EMGE have the credentials to feature in a race of this caliber. Selections: (11) DELICIEUX DU CEBE - (12) DAGUET DU RIB - (6) DOCSPEL SEVEN - (8) DOW JONES EMGE
