R1 COMPIEGNE [L-H]

C1 – PRIX DE SAINT JEAN AUX BOIS – 2000m (a1m1/4) – TURF – Newcomers Race – Flat – EUR € 27,000

  1. WHEELER – Colt by Spieghtstown, the dam won 3 races, including a Grade 3 in the USA. Nice pedigree and a leading role can be anticipated. In the mix
  2. ESCALINA – Filly by No Nay Never, the dam never ran. Likely to improve for this run and is best watched in the betting for clues
  3. BEAUTY KING’S – Filly by Bande, the dam was unraced. Stable runners warrant respect on debut. Monitor the betting for any market interest
  4. DEODATA – Filly by Churchill, the dam won 1 race and was Listed placed. Choice pedigree and a bold show can be expected. Live contender
  5. PERSIA BELLA – Filly by Le Havre, the dam won 1 race. 150,000 euros as a foal. Watch the betting patterns for any support
  6. QUEEN’S TRIAL – Filly by Kingman, the dam won 1 race. Half-sister to a Listed race winner in Wishfully. From a good stable who will have her well prepared. Player
  7. TTAINTED DREAMS – Filly by Toronado, the dam was placed on her only start. Best watched in the betting market for any support
    Summary: DEODATA (4) is from a top stable that can ready a newcomer to strike on debut. Mickael Barzalona should get a nice tune out of this filly on her first day at school. She is preferred over QUEEN’S TRIAL (6), who is a half-sister to Wishfully, who won at Listed class. She can have a say in the business end. WHEELER (1) is the only colt in the line-up; his dam won a Grade 3 race in the USA, and market support should be noted. PERSIA BELLA (5) is also one to keep onside.
    SELECTIONS
    DEODATA (4) – QUEEN’S TRIAL (6) – WHEELER (1) – PERSIA BELLA (5)
    C2 – PRIX DU POLYGONE – 1600m (a1m) – TURF – Class 3 Claiming – Flat – EUR € 19,000
  8. TIMBER LIGHT – 7th last time in a Class 3 handicap on May 20th at Angers over 1600m. Seems to have lost his form at the moment
  9. CYNOSURE – Three unplaced runs of late, 2nd before that over 1750m at Wolverhampton (UK) on January 4th. French debut and is best watched
  10. BURGUNDY REGAL – 7th last time, 2nd previously over 1400m at Pau in a Class 3 handicap on January 14th. Others make more appeal
  11. ROUGEGARDE – Won on his last start over 1700m at La Roche-Posay in a Class 4 race on May 18th. Capable of playing a leading role
  12. DAPANGO – 5th last time, 3rd before that over 1600m in a claimer at Fontainebleau on March 7th. Won 2 Class 3 races in October last year. Live contender
  13. CREW DRAGON – In top form of late, a win at Angers in a Class 4 claimer on May 20th on his latest run. Hard to ignore in this class of race
  14. EL RUBIO – 6th last time, 2nd before that over 1500m at Mulheim (DEU) in a Class 3 claimer on May 6th. Each way angle
    Summary: DAPANGO (5) could be the answer to this claimer, he was a decent second two runs back in a Class 3 handicap. He won on the PSF in December in a claimer and is preferred over CREW DRAGON (6), who is useful in claiming class races and can give another good account of himself. ROUGEGARDE (4) looks like an option for the each-way backers to look at after a win on his latest start. EL RUBIO (7) makes up the shortlist.

  15. ZIGGY STAR – Two good wins recently, the latter over 1600m in a handicap at Parislongchamp on May 4th. A hat trick of wins is not out of the question
  16. VEGETALE – Unplaced last time, 3rd before that over 1900m in a Class 1 race at Chantilly on March 24th on the PSF. Has to prove she handles the turf but is bred to
  17. SAKHALINE – 5th last time in a Class 3 race at Saint-Cloud on May 13th, a win before that over 2000m in a handicap on April 21st at Le Lion D’Angers. Place chance
  18. MINO GALESTE – Won nicely last time over 1600m at Parislongchamp on May 4th in a handicap. Live chance of scoring

  22. SEONA – 6th last time, 4th before that over 2000m at Parislongchamp on April 30th in a handicap. In the mix
  23. RUE ERNESTINE – 5th last time, 2nd before over 1600m at Toulouse on March 19th in a handicap. Likely to find a few of these too smart
  24. LUFFY – Won on his last run over 1600m at Le Mans in a maiden on May 3rd. Has to improve again in a stronger race
  25. ISPERIA – Fair 3rd last time out over 2300m at Angers on May 20th in a Class 2 race. This will be more challenging
  26. DSCHINGIS ZANDEE – Two wins recently, the latest a handicap at Parislongchamp on April 30th in a handicap. Hard to rule out
  27. SANGRE DE DRAGO – 6th last time, 3rd before that over 1600m at Parislongchamp on April 30th in a claiming race. Opposable
  28. KOHANA – Placed on the last two runs, 3rd over 1600m at Lyon Parilly on May 17th in a handicap. Ought to be in the shake-up
  29. RIDE ON – Fair 3rd over 2000m at Nancy on his last run on May 20th in a handicap. Others make more appeal
  30. ORANGERIE –
    Summary: EL PEQUENIO (7) was narrowly beaten at Parislongchamp in a handicap when last seen in May, and can go one place better this time. MINO GALESTE (4) won on his last outing in early May at Parislongchamp and can give a good account of himself. ACTO (6) was seventh on his last run behind a couple of today’s rivals and looks like a sensible option each way. DSCHINGIS ZANDEE (12) is seeking a hat-trick and can not be overlooked. CITY TOWN (5) has been a bit low key this year but warrants respect and a better run can be expected.

    EL PEQUENIO (7) – MINO GALESTE (4) – ACTO (6) – DSCHINGIS ZANDEE (12)

  31. PORTREATH – Two unplaced runs since a win over 2100m at Mons-Ghlin (BEL) in a conditions race on February 20th. Look elsewhere
  32. PRIDE OF AMERICA – 8th last time, a win before that over 2000m at Fontainebleau on March 18th in a Class 3 race. Capable of making an impact
  33. GUARDIAN – Fair 5th on the one run this year over 2100m at Saint-Cloud in a Class 1 race on April 11th. He won his maiden last October and warrants respect
  34. WILL SCARLET – Good win last time over 2000m at Lyon Parilly on May 17th in a Class 3 race and placed in a Class 2 race on his two runs this year. Live contender
  35. OLYMPIC GOAL – 5th last time out in a Class 2 handicap over 2500m at Deauville on November 16th. First run of the year and will be sharper for this outing
  36. LORD ACHILLES – Two unplaced runs this year, 6th at Lyon Parilly on the most recent over 2400m in a Listed race on May 17th. Place chance
  37. BALTIC EMPRESS – Two unplaced runs of late, 6th at Saint-Cloud on the latest in a Class 3 race on May 1st. Listed placed last year and has the talent to be involved
  38. QUISISANA – She was useful last year, winning her last run of 2024 at Chantilly in a Listed race on June 16th. She has almost a years absence to overcome but can not be overlooked
  39. LORIA – 5th last time, she got off the mark previously in a maiden at Compiegne on April 25th over 1400m. Needs a few to misfire
    Summary: Several in the line-up with some sort of chance, the Andre Fabre-trained WILL SCARLET (4) could be the most likely to prevail. He got a confidence-boosting win at Lyon Parilly in mid-May on his latest start, and he is preferred ahead of QUISISANA (8), who has solid form in 2024. She makes her return after almost a year away, with fitness a slight concern. PRIDE OF AMERICA (2) won on his penultimate start in March and can be involved. GUARDIAN (3) is also of interest.

  53. MOON RIDER – Five unplaced runs recently, 8th over 1800m at Compiegne on May 21st in a Class 3 handicap on his last start. Needs to bounce back to form

  55. LORD POST OFFICE –
    Summary: MARKSWOMAN (8) has been knocking at the door with two second-place runs recently and has a leading chance of going one place better this time. CAREGIVER (7) could be the main threat. He is a versatile performer who has form over this trip and further. PLANTHALYA (12) has a solid chance and is an each-way option after a win at Compiegne 10 days ago. PRAIRIE GLORY (4) was not beaten far on his last run when sixth at Compiegne 10 days ago and is worth considering.

    Summary: PRINCESSE BLONDE (1) has been in excellent form, recording two wins and a second from her last four starts. She scored in a Class 4 handicap at Compiègne just 10 days ago and should give another strong account. KATHALINA (15) ran well when third at Nantes in early May and can be competitive again. RUBIS GOLD (2) is one to consider for all place bet combinations. AMOUAGE (8) also ran second at Compiègne recently and merits attention.

  75. ZAUBA – 5th on the last run over 1800m at Evreux on May 27th in a maiden race. Tries a handicap and makes limited appeal

    Summary: FOXEY LADY (7) has been performing well on her three runs this year, she looks like she is ready to win again. EMPRESS STAR (6) could be the one that makes the selection work hard for success. She ran well when fifth last time and scored before that in late April at Le Lion D’Angers. CLICCLIC PANPANPAN (13) has several placed runs recently and looks like a live each way candidate. SAXON’S PRIDE (3) has shown promise in her three starts and can have a say on her handicap debut.

  99. GALA DE CERISY – Three poor runs this year, well beaten over 1600m at Compiegne on May 30th in a Class 4 handicap. Out of form and best watched
    Summary: In a race lacking depth, it may pay to go with MEARAS STYLE (7), who showed more when sixth at Argentan 5 days ago in a Class 4 handicap. She makes a quick return and is a tentative choice ahead of HOT SUMMER (10), who was a decent fourth at Compiegne late last month and can be competitive. ALBERT BRIDGE (4) has been placed on his last two starts and is an each-way candidate. LADYBUG (9) makes up the shortlist.

  13. MAGIC DU SAPTEL – Unreliable but did run well when third in Class F at Strasbourg over 2800m on 15 May. Has a place chance
  14. MAZZARINO – Did not show his best when 7th in Class E at Amiens over 2400m on 26 May. Did better at this course before that and could earn some minor money
  15. MIRABILIS VRIE – Has shown promise and was victorious in Class G at Savigny-sur-Braye over 2525m on 29 May. Can double up
  16. MORE LOVE DUCAMPUS – Disqualified last time out at Caen on 28 May. In good form before that and can bounce back to beat these rivals
    Summary: MORE LOVE DUCAMPUS (6) ran much better than the disqualification at Caen suggests and can bounce back to win if he races sensibly this time. MIRABILIS VRIE (5) is improving and won nicely at Savigny-sur-Braye, so must be considered a danger. MONACO (1) has been disqualified in three of his four starts but performed well the one time he stayed on stride and can be involved at the finish. MARKSMAN (2) returns from a break but did score on debut.

  25. LUNE LUMALO – Much improved of late and was a barefoot winner in Class G at Saint-Omer over 2625m on 1 June. Can follow up
    Summary: LADY BEGONIA (6) was hampered before falling at Niort. That run is best ignored, and she remains barefoot, ready to make amends this time around. LUNE LUMALO (9) showed what she is capable of with a barefoot win at Saint-Omer and remains barefoot, so must be considered a threat. LUDIVINE DE BAILLY (4) has five disqualifications in a row but races barefoot for the first time and could improve under Alexandre Abrivard. LADY KEPLER (3) is also hard to trust but is capable of making the frame.

    Summary: A difficult race to assess. LOIR BOURBON (5) looked good last year with some solid wins at Carpentras, but he has yet to reproduce that form this season. At his best, however, he sets the standard. LOOK D’AVRIL (7) is still a maiden and can be unreliable, but he ran well at Dozulé and has a winning chance. L’HEMENCOURT (6) is probably at his best over this sort of distance and could pose a threat. L’ORIGINAL (4) is not easy to trust but could also be involved at the finish.

    Summary: A competitive-looking race. JADOR JOSSELYN (6) is not easy to trust but looked the likely winner before faulting at Arras and can make amends. JEANNE D’ANJOU (7) was an easy winner at Nancy and would not be a surprise winner again. JAFLO GEMA (9) likely just needed her only run of the year and can improve this time. JERONIMO DU CAUX (8) hinted at a winning turn when finishing a good third last month.

KENAVO PAROYO (6) brings solid recent wins and has every chance of completing the hat-trick. KING BOLD (7) hasn’t won for a while but likely needed his last run and should improve now fitter.

IMPACT MAGIC (4) hasn’t won for some time but looked the likely winner before faulting at Carhaix and could make amends if more focused this time. IROKO DU CAIEU (3) has already scored twice this year and can bounce back from a recent disqualification. IMPRESS ME (10) ran well at La Capelle last month and is another to consider.

  4. AMERICADREAM – Has had 14 racing experiences thus far and finished 8th in a Handicap over 1200m at Marseille Borely on the 9th of May 2025 in her last start. Top selectors won’t be threatened much
  5. WINDFLOWER – Improving effort finishing 5th in a maiden over 2400m at Salon-De-Provence on the 15th of May 2025. Should go closer here

WINDFLOWER (5) showed improvement last time out when going the extra ground and although stepping back to the 2000m, she will be running strongly at the finishing line. NOUS Y SOMMES (3) has the ability to make vast improvement on his debut performance in this field. RAW ENERGY (1) holds a strong top four chance.

    Summary: AVERNES (5) delivered a good third in her last run over the distance and she certainly has all the equipment to know what it takes to win a race. She does pose as the vixen to beat. LAGOONE CHOPE (10) can be forgiven for her last run as her penultimate start shows she is capable of a solid effort and can definitely make a big splash here. SINDIA (9) faced much stronger opposition when racing in Class 3 company and steps back to a Class 4 division where she can make her presence felt.

VOILA POURQUOI (1) is a model of consistency and has not missed a cheque in his last four starts. He will look to run his heart out and steal victory from the top selector. SYLVER SAMBA (4) is a diva with strong respectable form and will be of no surprise if she teaches the two boys above a lesson. QUEEN BAY (3) is not out of it and deserves consideration.

    Summary: IVORY SPRING (1) was not disgraced when he faced a much stronger Class 1 field in his last outing and steps back into a Class 3 division where he can compete highly and spring into his winning podium. SEVENDAY (2) has to shoulder 62kgs after being penalized for his win but has the accolades to go one more. IRBIS (5) can be forgiven for his last two starts and can have a big say if he is astute to the task. REVANCHE (9) could have more to offer.

  53. KENZAL – Won a Handicap over 1600m at Vichy on 14 May. Takes on stronger his form and is not always consistent.
  54. MUELHEIMER PERLE – Ran 11th in a Handicap over 2000m at Marseille Borely on 26 May. She has run well at this level and does well at this course.
  55. DENIA – Ran 12th in Handicap over 2000m at Marseille Borely on 26 May. Disappointed in her penultimate run in a Claimer
  56. SAINT AQUILIN – Finished 8th in a Claimer over 1600m at Chantilly on 6 May. This gelding will need to improve on his last run if he is to feature in this

  59. NEW YORK NEW YORK – Finished 4th in a Qualifying Handicap over 1800m at this course on 15 May. This gelding is in good form currently
  60. MAMA IMELDA – Finished 10th in a Qualifying Handicap over 1800m at this track on 15 May. Needs to find more to be competitive

    Summary: GOWAY (10) has a record of three wins and a second in five Claiming races and looks the runner to beat in this event. MAX VERST (2) has been competing in Handicaps, drops in class in this time and is expected to fight out the finish. NEW YORK NEW YORK (11) has been running well and has decent form at this course so must be considered. MUELHEIMER PERLE (6) has good form at this level and has run well at this course.

  62. DIOPTASE – Ran 2nd in a Group 3 event over 2100m at Saint-Cloud on 9 May. That was an excellent performance and makes him the runner to beat.
  63. DONEGAL – Finished 7th over 1700m at Marseille Borely on 26 May. On that run he looks well held by MARCHEMALO (3)
  64. MARCHEMALO – Finished 4th over 1700m at Marseille Borely on 26 May. His best form has come over longer distances so he will benefit from the return to 2000m
  65. C’EST VRAI – Ran 4th in a Conditions race over 2000m at Lyon Parilly on 17 May. His only victory was at this course
  66. HARICOT – Finished 3rd in a Conditions race over 1600m at Lyon Parilly on 15 May. This colt will benefit from the extra 400m this time.
  67. SCOTTIE THE HOTTIE – Finished 7th in a Listed event over 2400m at Toulouse on 21 May. The drop in distance could be a concern
    Summary: Runner in a Group 3 at saint-Cloud last time out, DIOPTASE (1) has an entry for the Arc De Triomphe in October and if he has ambitions to be competitive in that event, he will need to win a race like this. HARICOT (5) is in good form and appears to be looking for this sort of distance. C’EST VRAI (4) has won at this course and should improve on his last start. MARCHEMALO (3) should run into a place with his return to 2000m.

  68. CHARMING CAT – Ran 5th in a Conditions race over 1200m at Marseille Borely on 26 May. Holds his rivals on earlier form and likes the course.
  69. ST LUNAIRE – Finished 4th in a Claimer over 1100m at this course on 15 May. Will be fitted with Australian blinkers for this run
  70. REMENBER CHOPE – Ran 4th in a Claimer over 1100m at this course on 15 May. She looks well held by others on that last run
  71. AMELIA – Ran 3rd in a Claimer over 1100m at this course on 15 May. Finished 2nd behind CHARMING CAT (1) in her previous start
  72. FIRSTAU CHOPE – Finished 4th in a Claimer over 1200m at Lyon Parilly on 8 May. She is another who will be wearing blinkers for the first time
    Summary: Based on their previous meeting at this course, CHARMING CAT (1) holds most of the other runners on that form line and will be hard to beat. AMELIA (4) ran not too far behind him on that occasion and should provide the main threat. Both ST LUNAIRE (2) and FIRSTAU CHOPE (5) finished further back in that event and neither looks likely to turn the tables on both runners.

  73. HOUBI – Ran 11th in a Handicap over 1200m at Marseille Borely on 9 May. There were excuses for her last run and she could place.
  74. WASACHOP – Ran 3rd a Qualifying Handicap over 1200m at Lyon Parilly on 29 May. Has placed in his last three races and can go on this time
  75. LE ROZEL – Finished 4th in a race over 1000m at Most in Czechia on 17 May. Last race in France was at Marseille Borely in May 2024
  76. BUTI – Ran 4th in a Claimer over 1500m at Marseille Pont De Vivaux on 23 May. He is in good form and should run into a place
  77. RUMPLETEAZER – Ran 4th in a Handicap over 1600m at Compiegne on 30 May. Will enjoy the drop back to a sprint and should be right there
  78. THE DIG – Ran 6th in a Conditions race over 1200m at Nimes on 11 May. Recent form has been moderate and will need to improve
  79. KENZYDANCER – Ran 6th in a Handicap over 1200m at Marseille Borely on 22 April. This gelding can be dangerous on his day. Chance
  80. I DARE – Finished 12th in Handicap over 1200m at Marseille Borely on 9 May. Ran behind HOUBI (1) and looks unlikely to reverse that form
  81. EXPLORAR – Finished 8th over 1400m at ParisLongchamp on 22 May. This gelding finished behind RUMPLETEAZER (5) earlier but is better off at the weights.
  82. NIGHT OF THE OPERA – Finished 12th in a Handicap over 1200m at Marseille Borely on 22 May. Will need to do a lot more to feature
    Summary: WASACHOP (2) is currently in good form and looks the runner they will all have to beat. There is little to choose between RUMPLETEAZER (5) and EXPLORAR (9) on their last run together and on the weight turnaround they should finish very close together. BUTI (4) has been running well and based on that a place looks the likely option.
    SELECTIONS – WASACHOP (2) – RUMPLETEAZER (5) – EXPLORAR (9) – BUTI (4)
