  1. KIAMBA – Three placed runs so far, the most recent when 3rd in a Group 3 race at Saint-Cloud on March 29th over 2100m. One to keep onside
  2. KONADA – Fair 4th last time over 2100m in a Group 3 race at Saint-Cloud on March 29th, and a win before that in a Class 2 race on the PSF. In the mix
  3. QUEEN OF SCIENCE – Won on debut at Chantilly over 1800m last November, decent 2nd on April 11th over 2100m at Saint-Cloud in a Class 2 race. Looks progressive and can score
  4. SUNLY – Won well on her debut at this track on April 8th over 2100m. She will improve and warrants respect. Player
  5. MOST GLAMOROUS – Won on her last start over 2400m at La Teste in a maiden on April 2nd. Up in class and others rate higher
  6. CORTELLA – 6th last time in a Group 3 race on March 29th, she won before that over 1950m in a Class 2 race at Le Mans on March 21st. Look vulnerable
    Summary: QUEEN OF SCIENCE (3) impressed on debut and backed that up with a strong second in a competitive Class 2 at Saint-Cloud earlier this month. She gets the nod over SUNLY (4), who was a convincing winner of a maiden at this track and looks open to further improvement. KIAMBA (1) brings solid credentials after finishing third in a Group 3 at Saint-Cloud in March and should not be overlooked. KONADA (2) is the best of the rest.

  15. BOAVISTA – Ran well to be 3rd last time over 1600m at Fontainebleau on April 21st in a handicap. Each way angle

  21. NEIADE – Four unplaced runs so far, the latter over 1800m in a handicap at Le Croise-Laroche on March 21st. Looks of limited ability
    Summary: DARINGA (5) has shaped well with two placed runs this year, the latest over 1600m when she was fourth in a handicap at Fontainebleau. She can get deserved success. AZOTE (13) has been knocking at the door with two second-place efforts of late, the latter over 1600m in a handicap at Lyon Parilly late last month. She can not be discounted. BETISE (3) could be one for the each-way backers to look at. BOAVISTA (9) is one to include in all of the place bet permutations.
    SELECTIONS
    DARINGA (5) – AZOTE (13) – BETISE (3) – BOAVISTA (9)
    C3 – PRIX D’HEDOUVILLE – 2400m (a1m1/2) – TURF – Gr3 Race – Flat – EUR € 80,000
  22. SIBAYAN – Won on the last start over 2400m in a Class 2 race at Compiegne on March 28th. More needed in a better race
  23. MONT DE SOLEIL – Won on his sole run this year, that was a Listed race at this track over 2400m on April 13th. On the up and a player
  24. SEVENNA’S KNIGHT – Promising 3rd to Map Of Stars at Saint-Cloud on March 16th in a Group 3 race over 2000m on his seasonal bow. Can not be overlooked
  25. PLEASEMAN – Ran well to be 3rd over 2100m at Saint-Cloud in a Class 1 race on April 11th when last racing. This is a stiffer test
  26. ARROW EAGLE – Two good wins this year, the latter over 2150m at Cagnes-Sur-Mer in a Listed race on February 23rd. One to consider
  27. JUNKO – Top-class performer not seen since a win in the Grand Prix De Chantilly (Gr.2) on June 2nd over 2400m. Should be fit and ready to score
    Summary: JUNKO (6) makes his seasonal return following a strong win in the Grand Prix de Chantilly (Gr.2) last June and is expected to be primed for this. He is taken to get the better of SEVENNA’S KNIGHT (3), who has race fitness on his side and was a solid third in a Group 3 at Saint-Cloud in March. MONT DE SOLEIL (2) is on the up and should not be underestimated after landing a Listed contest over this course and distance earlier in April.
    SELECTIONS
    JUNKO (6) – SEVENNA’S KNIGHT (3) – MONT DE SOLEIL (2) – ARROW EAGLE (5)
    C4 – PRIX DE LA VILLE DE PARIS – 1600m (a1m) – TURF – Class 2 Divided Handicap – Flat – EUR € 55,000
  28. ZAWAN – 6th in a Listed race last time, 3rd before that in a Class 2 race over 1500m on January 24th at Deauville. Live chance
  29. MAHASEN – Placed 4th on both starts this year, the latter over 1600m in a handicap at this track on April 13th. Might need to drop in the weights a few kilos
  30. ALEKSINE – Two unplaced runs since a 3rd over 1400m at Chantilly in a handicap on February 21st. Capable if in the mood
  31. ZOLIA – Won on the last start over 1600m at Nantes in a handicap on April 9th. Might be in the handicapper’s grip
  32. ACTO – 9th last time out, 3rd before that over 1600m in a handicap at Saint-Cloud on March 6th. Place contender
  33. EL PEQUENIO – Three unplaced runs since a 4th in a Class 2 race on January 31st at Deauville over 1900m. Ought to be in the shake-up
  34. RUE ERNESTINE – Ran well to be 2nd over 1600m in a handicap at Toulouse on March 19th on her latest start and won before that on the PSF in December. Consider
  35. GREEN CAPE – 6th on the one run this year over 1800m at Lyon La Soie in a maiden on March 30th. Has place claims
  36. THE SNARK – 2nd on the latest start over 1600m at Nantes on April 9th in a handicap. Might find a few of these too smart
  37. ZIGGY STAR – Won on his latest start over 1600m at Lyon Parilly on April 23rd in a handicap. More needed in a stronger handicap
  38. SOMMERBLAU – 5th on her last start over 1600m at this track in a handicap on April 13th. Among the leading each way options
  39. RIDE ON – Unplaced last time, 4th before that over 1800m in a maiden race at Le Croise-Laroche on March 21st. Handicap debut and others seem more likely
  40. TOOGOODTOBEROOD – Unplaced last time, 4th before that over 1400m in a handicap on March 17th at Chantilly. One to pay attention to
  41. GOLDEN ALQA – Fair 5th over 2000m in a maiden at Le Lion D’Angers on April 6th on her third start. Handicap debut and warrants respect
  42. BANMA – Won on her third run over 1500m in a Class 3 race at Vannes on April 13th. Handicap debut and can not be ruled out
  43. ORANGERIE – Tries a handicap after four runs in maiden races, she is better than her run at Compiegne over 1600m on March 28th, when she ran too freely. Off a low weight, she can play a lead role
    Summary: ORANGERIE (16) gets in at the foot of the weights and has shown promise in maiden company. If settling better than she did last time, she can make a bold bid at nice odds. ZAWAN (1) brings solid form at a higher level, having tried Listed company last time and previously placed in a Class 2—she looks a major player. EL PEQUENIO (6) is better than recent efforts suggest and could represent each-way value. GOLDEN ALQA (14) also has claims among the remainder. SOMMERBLAU (11) was a good finisher in this division last time and has to be considered as well.
    SELECTIONS
    ORANGERIE (16) – ZAWAN (1) – EL PEQUENIO (6) – GOLDEN ALQA (14)
    C5 – PRIX GOLD RIVER – 2800m (a2m) – TURF – Listed Race – Flat – EUR € 48,000
  44. JANNAH PEARL – Ran well to be 4th in a Listed race at Saint-Cloud over 3000m on March 29th and won before that in a maiden last October over 2200m. Hard to overlook
  45. KATHINA – Fair 5th last time, a win before that in a Class 2 race at Fontainebleau on March 18th over 3000m. Strong stayer who is an honest performer
  46. AGILE – 3rd on the last start over 3000m in a Listed race at Fontainebleau on November 14th. Lightly raced last year and might improve for this after a layoff
  47. MISS DYNAMITE – Won twice last year in Poland, the last run was when 2nd over 2600m at Sluzewiec (POL) on October 6th. Fitness to prove and faces a stiff task
  48. AQUA AUGUSTA – Two unplaced runs this year, the latter over 2400m in a Class 2 handicap at this track on April 13th. Opposable
  49. FULL OF HOPE – Placed on both runs this year, 4th on the latest over 2400m in a Listed race on April 13th at this track. Might need a few to falter
  50. BIBBIENA – Won on her last start over 2400m at this track in a Class 2 handicap on April 13th. She should thrive over this extra trip
  51. OLATZ DE VEGA – Not seen since a win over 2500m in a Class 2 race at Deauville on November 9th. She should be fit and can not be ruled out
    Summary: KATHINA (2) looks the one to beat in this Listed contest. She impressed with a strong win over 3000m in a Class 2 at Fontainebleau and ran with credit in a higher-grade race last time. JANNAH PEARL (1) rates the main danger after a solid fourth in Listed company at Saint-Cloud, backing up her maiden win last October. OLATZ DE VEGA (8) returns from a break but is interesting on form and could be a value each-way player. BIBBIENA (7) also warrants respect and can’t be ruled out.

  61. LISEO – Finished 14th in a Class 3 Handicap over 1900m at Deauville on the 8th of April 2025. Erratic but capable of a quartet chance
  62. PALAZZO – Finished 16th in a Class 2 Handicap over 2000m at Saint-Cloud on the 29th of March 2025. Others weigh more attraction
  63. PREWITT – Finished 8th in a Class 3 Handicap over 1800m at Lyon La Soie on the 23rd of March 2025. One to respectfully pass by

  67. CREEKATTEMPS – Finished 2nd in a Class 3 Handicap over 2100m at Senonnes on the 12th of April 2025. Others have more appeal
    Summary: THE FIRST DANCE (5) can be forgiven for her last two starts as she faced a much tougher opposition. The drop in class could see her bouncing back to produce a winning effort. MEAUTIS (6) was a courageous winner when breaking his maiden las time out and will be trying his best to make a big splash here too. TROPHANE (14) keeps knocking on the door and she can put her best foot forward here in breaking her maiden streak. ATANASIO (2) was a winner in his last start and has all the limelight upon him to produce a sneaky chance of snatching a victory again.

He gets the services of Mikael Barzalona who understands him and can certainly follow up on the Maiden win. APOLLO FOUNTAIN (6) was not disgraced when finishing sixth in a Group III contest and will be no surprise if she demolishes her opponents. TIEGO THE FIRST (4) is an effective type over the 1400m having won a Listed over the distance and has to be given serious consideration here. CACOFONIX (2) returns after a seven month break and if the run is not needed, he is capable of disrupting the finish.

  120. CHARM WRENS – Decent effort finishing 2nd in a Class 4 Handicap over 1400m at Pairslongchamp on the 17th of April 2025.. Include in exotic plays

  122. GIN GEMBRE – Finished 7th in a Class 4 Handicap over 1400m at Parislongchamp on the 17th of April 2025. Hard to recommend on form
    Summary: ACHKI (9) is a hard trier and comes into the race with tons of experience. He should produce similar efforts and be competitive in this difficult handicap. LORD POST OFFICE (3) produced a good third over the course and distance and a similar run could see him snatching his third career victory. TERANGA (2) is loving life to the fullest having won her last two starts over the trip and surely has all competence to reel off the hattrick win. STANTO (13) has winning accolades over the track and trip and can be a lurker to follow up on his last effort.

IDEM DU PONT (9) broke a long losing run when winning at Cherbourg and is capable of following up if in the same form. IERMES DE GUEZ (7) has disqualification issues but also has ability and would not be a surprise winner. IRMA DE L’ÉCLAIR (4) ran well at this course last month and is clearly not out of it.

KRYSTAL PIYA (2) picked up five wins last year and was not disgraced when returning from a break; he could be a lively danger now fitter. KONTESSA DREAM (6) always gives her all and should be very competitive once again. KAPLA DEVOL (13) is threatening to win and also deserves respect.

LOQUIDY (11) is clearly talented but fluffed his lines with a disqualification last time out; he can bounce back and be a threat.
