French Selections Friday 20th

R1 VINCENNES [L-H]

C1 – PRIX OKDA – 2850m (a2m) – Class D Race – Harness – EUR € 46,000

  1. EDO GRIF – Makes Vincennes debut after running 2nd of 14 over 2100m in Naples early last month and already looks out of his depth
  2. ERGA OMNES PAR – Sanctioned in a 2850m monte Class B here 10 days ago. Has no love for the main track and can be ruled out
  3. ESPADA (ITY) – 4th of 7 over 2400m in Avenches late-April. Unraced since and is not about to create an upset
  4. EBRIUS (ITY) – Has been showing the limits of his capacity, most recently 6th of 9 finishers behind NECTAR OCCAGNES (9) in a 2100m Class E here on 16 May, and will have few takers
  5. MAN OF STEEL (GER) – Decent 4th of 10 finishers behind ERES DORIAL MAIL (8) in a 2700m Class D here on 9 May. Front shoes back on though and others easier to back
  6. ELOISE GAR – 4th of 14 in a 2100m Class E here on 14 May. Left a good impression that day and Matthieu Abrivard gets the nod. First 5
  7. QUEEN OF THE NIGHT – Unplaced in both French starts to date, most recently 9th of 14 behind ELOISE GAR (6) in a 2100m Class E here on 14 May. Should be fully-fit by now though and is not to be overlooked
  8. ERES DORIAL MAIL – Pleased here on 9 May but failed to confirm a week later when sanctioned in a 2100m Class E. Appears to have turned a corner and Gabriele Gelormini will be eager to show its was not just a flash in the pan
  9. NECTAR OCCAGNES – 11th of 14 in a 2100m Class D here a week ago. Yet to get fully into his stride since coming south and cannot be considered a priority
  10. KILIMANDJARO PLAYA – Did not enjoy the best of trips when sanctioned in a 2700m Class D here a fortnight ago. Form is not in question though and can wrap this up if kept focused
  11. KARMA TEJY – Ran 3rd at Le Mans prior to coming 4th of 11 in a 2700m Class D here a fortnight ago. Sports a fresh formula but still no more than a minor place chance
  12. KHEOPS BOURBON – 8th of 10 in a 2700m Class D at Le Croise-Laroche a month back. Has been off the boil all year and can be passed over
  13. EMPIRE AS – Starts for first time since being sanctioned in a 2150m Enghien Class D last March. Alexandre Abrivard in the bike this time and warrants considerable respect
  14. KASH QUICK – Won 2 of last 3, latterly a 2875m Argentan Class E on 25 May. Showed good speed here last season and in current shape is easy to like for the win
  15. RAGAZZA DU CHENE – Useful mare but has not raced since finishing 8th of 16 in a 2150m Enghien Class D on 11 March and with shoes on will have nothing to offer
  16. KLASSIC DREAM – Put in a fine performance only to be sanctioned in a 3000m Nantes Class E 2.5 weeks ago. Is clearly in form, returns to racing barefoot, and enjoys a fine entry. Place chance
    Summary: Unlucky not to keep his unbeaten main-track status intact earlier in the month, KILIMANDJARO PLAYA (10) goes barefoot again and should be able to win this if Anthony Barrier keeps him trotting. KASH QUICK (14) though took his win-rate to 50 percent late last month and will be no easy touch. EMPIRE AS (13) may not have been seen out since early-March but tasted victory last time here and is barefoot for his comeback. Reunited with Eric Raffin after posting 3 straight sanctions, hopes are high that the capricious but capable KLASSIC DREAM (16) can get back in the game.
    SELECTIONS
    KILIMANDJARO PLAYA (10) – KASH QUICK (14) – EMPIRE AS (13) – KLASSIC DREAM (16)
    C2 – PRIX MELPOMENE – 2700m (a1m1/2) – Class D Race – Harness – EUR € 46,000
  17. INDIGO DU PERCHE – Won 4 of 6 this year, most recently a 2500m Reims Class F 11 days ago. Has 6yo’s to deal with this time but is still easy to like for a minor place cheque
  18. JEALOUS GIRL – Sprang a 79/1 surprise when 2nd of 13 in a 2175m Class D here earlier in the month. Unlikely to create an upset but can nonetheless get in on the action
  19. IN LOVE D’ECAJEUL – Ran respectable 5th of 12 in a 2700m Class F at La Capelle 3 weeks ago but in this company will have his work cut out
  20. INCISIF VAUCEEN – Sanctioned in a 2975m Jallais Class E last Sunday. Has never excelled at Vincennes and even though sporting modified shoeing still looks an outsider
  21. JOB DU PERSIL – Encouraged over inner track before being sanctioned in a 2175m Class D here 2 weeks ago and will not be influencing the result
  22. JIDEO STREET – Solid as a rock over past month, latterly 3rd of 10 in a 2175m Class D here a fortnight back. Won his last 2 with Gabi Gelormini reining and must be considered a priority
  23. JOPLIN DES CROUAS – Sanctioned in last 2, latterly a Class C under these conditions 3 weeks ago. Is barefoot this time though and on good behaviour can finish in the mix
  24. JOHORE – Has held his own in 4 of 5 starts this year, most recently 3rd of 11 in a 2725m Graignes Class E a month back. Goes well for the most part here and, barefoot for the occasion, must be respected
  25. JUST A COUET – 5th of 16 when preparing for this in a 2825m Durtal Class E on 1 June. Thrives at Vincennes and is an obvious candidate for a place in the frame
  26. JAG ROYAL – Makes first appearance since comfortably winning a 2450m Caen Class D in early-March. Appreciates 2700m here and with application can bring home the bacon
  27. JEUNESSE ETERNELLE – Made up for Enghien sanction when making short work of a 3000m Nantes class D 3 weeks ago. Beat a horse that day that duly went on to impose superbly and can expect the lion’s share of support
  28. JUDOPOCK – Justifiably well-regarded type but has not been seen out since early-February and with shoes on will have little to offer
    Summary: While never far from losing her action, JEUNESSE ETERNELLE (11) was like a horse reborn last month and, ideally-engaged here, can confirm her Nantes success. JAG ROYAL (10) has not been seen out since March but he boasts fine course-and-distance credentials, and has already won 3 times for his driver. JIDEO STREET (6) is plainly in rude health and steps back up in trip with a lot to contribute. JUST A COUET (9) has nothing to prove under these conditions and reverts to a successful configuration.
    SELECTIONS
    JEUNESSE ETERNELLE (11) – JAG ROYAL (10) – JIDEO STREET (6) – JUST A COUET (9)
    C3 – PRIX CLEMENTINA – 2100m (a1m1/4) – Class E Race – Harness – EUR € 52,000
  29. IQUITO PLANCHETTE – 3rd over longer here last month before coming 4th of 10 in a 2350m Angers Class E 10 days ago. Is plainly close to his race and Franck Blandin can be confident of another big run
  30. MAGGIORE (SWE) – Fine servant that ran 3rd of 8 to CARL HALBAK (5) in a 2650m Hyeres Class D earlier in the month. Has hardly put a foot wrong all year and the draw will do her prospects no disservice
  31. IRMYLA DE SOMMAIRE – Back in Paris after running 6th of 15 in a 2950m Saint-Malo Class F on 8 June. Appears to be a long way from her best and despite a good draw still looks an outsider
  32. GARTH VADER – 6th of 11 over 2140m in Bollnas late last month. Has placed twice in 3 starts over track and trip, is barefoot for first time this year, and the Eric Raffin-factor cannot be ignored. Attention
  33. CARL HALBAK – Won 2 of last 3, latterly a 2650m Hyeres Class D earlier in the month. Thrives with Matthieu Abrivard and has every chance of confirming
  34. HORS SAISON – Disappointing this year, most recently 10th of 16 behind HUGO DU BOURG (9) in a Class D over track and trip 2 weeks ago, and is unlikely to spring any surprises
  35. ROSSI GARLINE – Sanctioned in a 2600m Moulins Class F on 18 May. Disappointing since winning at Agen last March and must first re-establish his credentials
  36. IN LOVE DE BLARY – Winner of a 2800m Pontchateau monte Class E on 5 June. Shoes on this time and will have other priorities
  37. HUGO DU BOURG – 8th of 16 in a Class D over course and distance a fortnight back. Has made no impact for some time and has no realistic chance
  38. CANTAB AS – 5th of 14 in a 2600m Nancy Class E 3 weeks ago. Has not imposed for over a year but is in his category and can again make first 5
  39. SANGRIA PELLINI – 2nd over course and distance in April before winning over 2000m in Gelsenkirchen a month ago. Simply never disappoints when focused and despite the draw, looks a major player
  40. ADAMO DIPA – 4th of 12 behind CALIMA DI POGGIO (13) in a 2200m Caen Class F on 10 May, but a repeat seems most improbable
  41. CALIMA DI POGGIO – Placed in 3, including under these conditions, before being sanctioned in a 2575m Agen Class E late last month. Left a good impression over track and trip in April and with application can contest the finish
    Summary: CARL HALBAK (5) has not skipped a beat since leaving his native Scandinavia, is shod as he was when imposing under these conditions in April, and is easy to like for the win. Matthieu Abrivard will still be wary of the less favourably-positioned CALIMA DI POGGIO (13) who makes his first start for the Bazire yard, with Alexandre Abrivard in the bike. IQUITO PLANCHETTE (1) faces a less-exalted bunch this time and should again finish close. Runner-up in both appearances over course and distance, SANGRIA PELLINI (11) is forced to start on the back line but is barefoot for the occasion and must be taken at face value.
    SELECTIONS
    CARL HALBAK (5) – CALIMA DI POGGIO (13) – IQUITO PLANCHETTE (1) – SANGRIA PELLINI (11)
    C4 – PRIX RHODOPE – 2700m (a1m1/2) – Class D Race – Harness – EUR € 59,000
  42. GREAT ROCK – 4th of 16, a place behind HESCORT LOVE (3), in a 2100m Class D here 2 weeks ago. Tony Beller gets the nod this time and will assure his charge a competitive drive
  43. GIBALDI DE HOUELLE – Did not enjoy the best of trips when last of 14 behind FERGIE HIGHLAND (16) in a 2100m Class D here mid-May. Has been afforded ample time to recalibrate and can get a look-in if kept out of trouble
  44. HESCORT LOVE – Left a very good impression on comeback 2 weeks ago when 3rd of 16 in a 2100m Class D here a fortnight ago. Will have come on for the run and with application will be no pushover
  45. GAMIN NORMAND – Last but one, on return from a break, in a 2625m Cherbourg Class E last Sunday and is not about to spring any surprises
  46. HERMES D’ECROVILLE – Failed to confirm Alencon effort when 11th of 16 behind HOLD UP DES VENTES (13) in a 2850m Laval Class D on 16 May, and will need to show another side
  47. HIMBERLAND – Disappointing of late, latterly sanctioned in 16 May race of reference, and must get his house in order
  48. GETEHI DU NOYER – Showed marked improvement when 3rd of 15 in a 2825m Lignieres Class E on 25 May. Is proven under these conditions but would be preferred over 2100m here
  49. GEDEON DAIRPET – Made up for Lisieux sanction when dominating a 2850m Class D here late last month and is thoroughly capable of repeating
  50. FULL CASH DE PADD – Sanctioned on return from a spell in a 2825m Lignieres Class E on 25 May. Never closer than 4th over the main track but Eric Raffin will be eager to maintain their unbeaten partnership
  51. EUNIS DU PATURAL – Less dynamic than he was earlier in the year, latterly 6th of 10 finishers in a 3025m Eauze Class E on 2 June. Matthieu Abrivard in the bike though and can start to get back in the game
  52. GAMIN D’ALJY – Showed marginal improvement when 7th of 14 in a 2400m Beaumont Class D on 24 May but still has more to find
  53. GUIGNOL DE CHARDET – Shod to preference after running 8th of 10, on first start following a spell, in a 2650m Alencon Class D on 1 June, but still faces a stiff test
  54. HOLD UP DES VENTES – Has done nothing but improve since his comeback, most recently 2nd of 16 in a 2850m Laval Class D on 16 May. Has shown a liking for these conditions and can compete for a place in the frame
  55. FASHIONABLE QUICK – 5th of 11 in a 2650m Hyeres Class C on 10 May. Barefoot this time but is still not easy to recommend
  56. HURIEL LUDOIS – Sanctioned in last 2, most recently a 2875m Enghien monte Class C last Saturday, and returns to the harness code with little to contribute
  57. FERGIE HIGHLAND – In the frame in last 2, most recently 2nd of 14 in a 2100m Class D here on 14 May. Has had ample time to recover and returns to the track with a good hand to play
    Summary: A winner of 2 for 2 earlier in the year, FULL CASH DE PADD (9) was sanctioned on re-entry but is reunited with Eric Baffin who imposed with him on their only association and could finally open his metropolitan account. That being said, GEDEON DAIRPET (8) stormed up in a Class D here 3 weeks ago and will be no soft touch. Patently on the way back up, and benefitting from a superb entry, FERGIE HIGHLAND (16) will have her chances. HOLD UP DES VENTES (13) has been enjoying a good run of form and similarly merits respect. HESCORT LOVE (3) put in a fast time on his recent return and must not be overlooked.
    SELECTIONS
    FULL CASH DE PADD (9) – GEDEON DAIRPET (8) – FERGIE HIGHLAND (16) – HOLD UP DES VENTES (13)
    C5 – PRIX TERPSICHORE – 2700m (a1m1/2) – Class C Race – Harness – EUR € 46,000
  58. LOBSTER DU BELLAY – 7th of 8 finishers to LOVEBIRD (9) in a 2175m Class C here 2.5 weeks ago, having lost ground at the start. Is better than that but nevertheless faces a stiff test
  59. LION SUR MER – Sanctioned on re-entry in a 2850m Laval Class C on 4 June despite putting in a good effort. Eric Raffin stays faithful and will be determined to set the record straight
  60. LEGACY JIEL – Quality colt making first start since coming 3rd of 7 finishers in a Class B over course and distance last February. Sports modified shoeing but may just need the run
  61. LOIC D’AVEL – Made it 2 on the trot when clinching a Class D over course and distance 3 weeks ago. Faces a tougher task this time but still has a lot to offer. Place prospect
  62. LOUSTIC D’YVEL – Won over 2175m before coming 3rd of 10 in a Class C over course and distance a month ago. Trainer back in the bike but still has a realistic chance of finishing close
  63. LE POETE BOURBON – Surprise 4th of 14 in a 2850m Laval Class C on 4 June. Shoes back on though and not a concern
  64. LIQUIDATEUR – Made up for April sanction when dominating a 2950m Vichy Class D early last month. Comes here fresh, is proven over track and trip, and with application can impose
  65. L’INTOUCHABLE – Unraced since securing the hat-trick in a 2825m Class A at Le Croise-Laroche last November and will not be given a hard race
  66. LOVEBIRD – Good, consistent campaigner that courageously won a 2175m Class C here 2.5 weeks ago. Has never disappointed at Vincennes and is not to be underestimated
  67. LAMONT DU DOUET – Takes a dip in category after finishing 7th of 10 behind LOBBING DE BLARY (12) in a Class B over course and distance 3 weeks ago but will still need to find more
  68. LOTUS GRIFF – No slouch on a good day but will need to improve on latest 6th of 10 behind LOBBING DE BLARY (12) in a Class B over course and distance 3 weeks ago
  69. LOBBING DE BLARY – Drops marginally down the category-ladder after coming 4th of 10 in a Class B over course and distance 3 weeks ago and should have the measure of most here. Claim
  70. LUPIN D’OLMEN – Classy colt that ran 8th of 9 finishers in a 3000m Marseille-Borely Class C, on comeback, on 7 May. Sports a fresh configuration for main-track debut and will justifiably generate interest
  71. LUGANO DE LOU – 4th over course and distance before running 2nd of 8 finishers to LOVEBIRD (9) in a 2175m Class C here 2.5 weeks ago. Remains shod but enjoys an excellent entry and is not to be overlooked
    Summary: Back this term doing what he does best, LOBBING DE BLARY (12) takes a dip in category, has solid references under these conditions, and looks the one to beat. He will still be opposed by the spirited but talented LIQUIDATEUR (7) who opened his 2025 account at Vichy last month, and LOIC D’AVEL (4) who steps up in class on a hat-trick. LOUSTIC D’YVEL (5) has turned a corner lately and looks competitive for a place in the frame.

    C6 – PRIX CYBELE – 2700m (a1m1/2) – Class D Race – Mounted – EUR € 40,000
  72. LYNX ATOUT – Has not been seen out since running 7th of 8 behind LOVI CADENCE (6) in a 2200m Class D here in early-April and can be confidently disregarded
  73. LINOS DU GOUTIER – Showed his ridden potential in early-May before finishing last but one in a 2950m Toulouse harness Class B 2 weeks ago. Takes on a better lot this time and others preferred
  74. LAPONIE D’EMMA – 2nd of 10 finishers, on monte debut, in a 2450m Caen Class F late last month. Adrien Lamy in the irons this time and is unlikely to be far off the mark
  75. LUCERO TEJY – Imposed at Enghien in April before running 4th of 8 finishers in a harness Class D over course and distance 3 weeks ago. Competitively-shod for first time under the saddle and must not be overlooked
  76. LUSSABEAU – Unexceptional 5th of 6 finishers in a 2175m Class D here on 6 May, and is unlikely to generate much interest
  77. LOVI CADENCE – Last of 6, a place behind LUSSABEAU (5), in a 2175m Class D here on 6 May and has a lot more to find
  78. LIBERTY DELO – Unlucky 2nd of 8 under these conditions early last month before coming 6th of 10 finishers in a Class C over course and distance a month ago. Is in her category and can have her Vincennes day in the sun
  79. L’APOGEE IMPERIAL – Sanctioned in a 2175m Class D here early last month. Has looked ordinary this term and is not about to break the mould
  80. LA LAGOSTERIA – Lost her focus, coming last of 5 finishers behind LAURENCIA BELLA (11) in a 2175m Class D here on 13 May. Shoes off this time and must not be underestimated
  81. LEGENDE DES ECUS – Terrific in all 3 monte starts, latterly clinching victory in a 2450m Caen Class E on 17 May. Has no left-handed references but will be dangerous if she turns
  82. LAURENCIA BELLA – Excellent 3rd of 5 finishers on re-entry in a 2175m Class D here on 13 May. Will have come on for the run and can challenge for victory this time. Chance
    Summary: Back in a category in which she has already made her mark, LIBERTY DELO (7) can win this as long as Alexis Collette keeps her focused. They will still encounter resistance from the well-engaged LAURENCIA BELLA (11) who came close to imposing on her seasonal bow, and LEGENDE DES ECUS (10) who has taken to her new vocation like a bear to honey. LA LAGOSTERIA (9) is not everyone’s cup of tea but she is barefoot and, at this level, could pleasantly surprise.

    C7 – PRIX EURYKLEIA – 2700m (a1m1/2) – Class C Race – Harness – EUR € 46,000
  83. LAREDO BAY – Reassuring 3rd of 11, a place behind LUCIOLE DU VERTAIN (15), in a 2175m Class C here a fortnight ago. Has yet to deliver over 2700m but it is only a question of time
  84. LADY QUEEN – 7th of 11 behind LUCIOLE DU VERTAIN (15) in a 2175m Class C here a fortnight ago. Shoes on this time though and will have nothing to offer
  85. LAMATTA – Starts for first time since finishing last of 9 in a 2100m Class B here in January. Sports 4 pads for first time but still not a concern
  86. LA SPEZIA DE LOU – Failed to live up to expectations when last of 11 behind LALUNA DES FORGES (5) on re-entry in a Class C over course and distance mid-May. Gets another crack at racing barefoot but others still easier to trust
  87. LALUNA DES FORGES – 7th of 14 behind LA MITIDJA (12) when preparing for this in a 2850m Laval Class C on 4 June. Ran 3rd under these conditions mid-May and must be respected
  88. LUNGA DES BROUSSES – Pleasant 7th of 11 behind LALUNA DES FORGES (5) on re-entry in a Class C over course and distance mid-May. Will have progressed for the run and while not a priority is still worth keeping an eye on
  89. LUNA D’ARNHEM – Has not been seen out since coming 2nd of 10 in a Class B over track and trip 4 months ago. Would be preferred barefoot but can nevertheless play an active role
  90. LILY DE L’AUNAY – Sprang a 51/1 surprise when flying up in a 2100m Class D here early last month and with form maintained can pull off the double
  91. LOLA DAIRPET – Sanctioned in a 2700m monte Class C here a month back. Under harness for a change of scenery and can be disregarded
  92. LUNA DOMA – Has turned a corner since starting to race barefoot, latterly winning a 2150m Enghien Class D on 17 April. May be a race shy but is still worth retaining
  93. LAURELINA – Unremarkable 7th of 9, on return to competition, in a 2150m Vichy Class C a month back and appears to need another run
  94. LA MITIDJA – 2nd of 14 in a 2850m Laval Class C on 4 June. Boasts excellent credentials under these conditions and can impose
  95. LUNA PARK – Serious filly making first appearance since finishing 8th of 14 in a 2850m Class B here in early-March. Shoes on this time and best to wait
  96. LAFOLLY DELO – 5th of 10 finishers in a 2175m monte Class D here late last month. Has other ambitions and can be ruled out
  97. LUCIOLE DU VERTAIN – Has done nothing but improve lately, most recently 2nd of 11 in a 2175m Class C here a fortnight ago. Benefits from a terrific entry and should not be ruled out
  98. L’ETOILE – 4th of 12 over track and trip before being sanctioned in a 2700m monte Class C here 2 months ago. Has freshness on her side and with application will be competitive for a place on the podium
    Summary: Dependability may not be her strong suit but LILY DE L’AUNAY (8) was so impressive here last month that it is difficult to imagine her not being competitive this time too. She will still have to take on the tricky but talented, and reconfigured, LA MITIDJA (12) who will be reined by Eric Raffin for the first time, and the nicely-entered L’ETOILE (16) who reverts to a previous configuration. LALUNA DES FORGES (5) has never disappointed when barefoot and is not going to be far from the action.

  99. ILLICO DE LOU – Sanctioned in a 2800m Pontchateau Class E a fortnight ago and in present shape is not easy to recommend
  100. ISLAMORADA – 10th of 12, on return to competition, in a 2700m Graignes harness Class D a fortnight back. Has won 5 times with Camille Levesque, races barefoot for the occasion, and will be no pushover
  101. ENJEU DAIRPET – Back under the saddle after running 8th of 10 finishers in a 2975m Jallais harness Class E last weekend and backs up with limited ambition
  102. INITIALE CASTELETS – 3rd of 11 in a 3000m Nantes Class E 2.5 weeks ago. Is close to her race and should appreciate the new conditions. Place chance
  103. HIS DREAM DE CAHOT – Unthreatening 5th of 8 in a 2850m Laval Class C on 4 June and is unlikely to play an active role
  104. IGO CLEA – Has enjoyed a terrific run of form this year, latterly 2nd of 12 in a 2625m Agen Class D late last month, and can bring the fight to HERMES EXPRESS (8)
  105. FALTO DES LANDIERS – Imposed at Lisieux before running 4th of 8 in a 2950m Vichy Class D 2.5 weeks ago, however a repeat seems most unlikely
  106. HERMES EXPRESS – Unraced since coming 6th of 12 in a 2850m Class D over main course on 25 April. Scored on monte debut earlier in the year and can repeat
  107. ELIXIR – Kicked the year off nicely but below-par since, latterly sanctioned in a 2850m Laval Class C on 4 June, and can be ruled out
  108. GILBERTO – 6th of 15 in a 2600m harness Class A at Villeneuve-sur-Lot on 25 May. Cannot be considered a contender but is worth retaining for a minor place cheque
  109. HERMES ANGEL – 7th of 15, a place behind GILBERTO (10), on re-entry in a 2600m harness Class A at Villeneuve-sur-Lot on 25 May. Seldom puts a foot out of line in this branch of the business and is not about to start now
  110. FLASH DU BIWETZ – Made amends for Caen performance when 3rd of 10 in a 2850m Class C over the main track on 27 May. Has ground to make up but can still finish in first 5
    Summary: Excellent winner on his only ridden start, HERMES EXPRESS (8) returns to the discipline following a short spell and Eric Raffin will be expecting to confirm. He will still be keeping a watchful eye on IGO CLEA (6) who has been knocking at the door recently, and a barefoot ISLAMORADA (2) who imposed last time under these conditions. Regularly in the thick of things, INITIALE CASTELETS (4) put in a fine finish at Nantes and must be taken seriously.

C1 – PRIX JEAN ET JACQUES MALEZIEUX-DEHON – 2700m (a1m1/2) – Class E Race – Harness – EUR € 21,000

  1. MILLEMIA IMPERIALE – In good form and was third in Class F at this course over 2750m on 31 May. Has a place chance in this line-up
  2. MAHINA DE WALLIS – Winner in Class F at La Rochay -Posay over 2600m on 1 June. Showed what she is capable of that day and is not out of it
  3. MANGALYA – Has disqualification issues but was runner-up in Class F at Bernay over 2800m on 1 June. May be better on the grass
  4. MISS STORY – Finished 5th in Class D at Nancy over 2600m on 30 May. Won on debut before that but may prefer a shorter distance
  5. MAESTRIA DE YEDRAG – Disqualified at Chartres on 1 June. Has been disqualified twice in just four start but did also win her penultimate start so could surprise
  6. MAJESTE DU MENIL – Disqualified At Reims on 9 June. Has run well at this track before and is capable of contesting the finish
  7. MANOLA DE MUZE – Disqualified at Graignes on 5 June. Ignore her last disqualification and can bounce back to beat these rivals
  8. MAGIQUE STEED – Disappointing last run when 6th in Class D at Salon -de-Provence over 2200m on 22 May. A good debut winner that must be respected
  9. MISS WILLIAMS – Unreliable this year and finished 5th in Class E at Amiens over 2400m on 26 May. More is needed to win this race
  10. MY LOVELY EBONY – Showed some improvement when third in Class D at Caen over 2200m on 31 May. Can earn some more money in this line-up
  11. MATRIONA – Not disgraced when 5th in Class E at this track over 2750m on 4 May. Might play a minor role at very best
  12. MASCOTT DU CHOQUEL – In good shape and was a winner in Class G at Le Neuborg over 2200m on 9 June. Could earn some minor money
  13. MILANTERA – Disqualified at this track on 31 May. Has four of them in a row to her name so she is probably best watched for now
  14. MAHANA RED – Disqualified at Des Andelys on 15 June. Has disqualification issues and only win was on the grass. Others are preferred
  15. MAFIEUSE DE REUX – Showed some improvement when runner-up in Class G at Chalons -En-Champagne over 2600m on 25 May. Might pop up in a place
  16. MAYA DES BAUX – Only modest so far and finished 5th in Class E at Les Andelys over 2525m on 15th June. More is needed to win this race
    Summary: MANOLA DE MUZE (7) is obviously a talented trotter and can easily be forgiven her last sanction. She is the pick to redeem herself. MAJESTE DU MENIL (6) ran a huge race at this track on 8 May and has a solid chance on the back of this performance. MAHINA DE WALLIS (2) got off the mark in style last time out and now has a lot of confidence. She can follow up. MAGIQUE STEED (8) is another one who can leave behind her last below-par effort.

  26. MOUSUA KRAAILO – Disqualified at this track on 31 May. Capable of improvement but is probably best watched until improvement is shown
    Summary: MARQUIS DU CHENE (1) can prove a handful but he ran a big race last time out and in similar form is one to follow closely. MOUFFETARD (6) registered his first success in style at La Rochelle last time out and could be nice horse on the making. He must be hugely respected. MIRAGE D’ARDENNES (7) was an eye-catching finisher when fifth last time at this venue and must not be overlooked. If applied, MONDIAL DE FAVEROL (8) is another who can make his presence felt.

    Summary: LEONTINE CASH (6) has been ultra consistent so far and her last start success makes her look the one to be with in this line-up. LUCIA DE BUSSET (4) is another in-form contender and has previously run well at this course. Big player. LATINA TOURNIBOIS (7) has been knocking at the door and goes barefoot again. A previous winner at this track, LILY ROSE MYSTIC (3) steps back down in grade and is not out of it.

    Summary: JUMPER MATIDY (9) boasts a solid record under the saddle and looks the horse they all have to beat in this line-up. In case he happens to perform below-par, JABIN DES TOURS (6) looks the best alternative for success after his excellent last start effort at Les Sables d’Olonne. INDIGODARCHE (12) is not the most dependable trotter but can go close if in the right state of mind. JUMPER MATIDY (9) is back under the saddle after a lean patch under harness and can redeem herself.

  58. LARABELLO DE LOU – Disqualified at Lisieux on 8 June. Has major disqualification issues and needs major improvement to win this race
    Summary: L’AMIRAL TURGOT (7) was first passed the post last time at Beaumont de Lomagne but was subsequently disqualified following a steward inquiry. He is a smart horse and can be expected to make amends. LUCKY BELLAY (10) has shown some very good recent form and although only unshod in front this time around, he remains a very sound winning prospect. LAMSOU SAN (9) is as consistent as they come and should give a good account once again. Unshod on all four feet for the first time LUCKY BOY VERTRAC (5) is an intriguing candidate.

KELOWA STARDUST (11) is clearly on the right path as shows her last effort and must be given some consideration. KOQUETTE LIRE (7) should strip fitter after a much needed comeback run and warrants respect.

    Summary: JADE DE NAVARY (9) has shown consistency of late and should be rewarded soon with a victory. She likes this track and could get the job done. JAMAICA DE LOU (14) can be forgiven her last run and judged on her success last April at Laval, she has a solid winning chance. JOJO LAPIN (12) seldom wins races and could find a couple too good once again but can’t be overlooked for places. IVORY WIND (13) is capable of an upset if she puts her best foot forward.

  1. ULYMINE – Won nicely by 2.5L on his debut at Saint-Cloud in a conditions race on May 19th. The form of his win looks solid and looks a smart prospect
  2. SHIRI – Won on her debut at Parislingchamp on May 29th over 1000m in a conditions race. Can improve from that run and be a threat
  3. MAC TYSON – 8th on the one run over 1400m at Saint-Cloud in a conditions race on May 3rd. Has to improve and unlikely to trouble the principles
  4. GO MAN – Two unplaced runs so far, the latter over 1200m at Marseille Borely on May 26th. Has shown ability and is in the mix
  5. LINDEN BLOSSOM – Unraced colt by Cloth Of Stars, the dam won 1 race. Likely to need a stronger test of stamina, judged on his pedigree. Watch the betting for clues

    Summary: DARINGA (6) posted a solid effort when third at Saint-Cloud earlier this month and gets the narrow vote. CALLA FONDA (7) also filled the same spot in a Class 3 at Parislongchamp 15 days ago and looks a leading contender. BETISE (8) ran a strong race to finish second in a similar contest at Le Lion d’Angers 12 days ago and is a credible each-way option.

    Summary: CASIM (4) was a decent second at Le Mans two runs back in early May and is preferred over BADANA (5), who won at Niort in a maiden late last month and seems to be improving with race experience. T’ES CHIC (7) ran well when third on debut on the PSF last year, and she can show more than her two runs this year when a tad below par. COPAN (2) makes up the shortlist.

  33. BEAU GARS – Two unplaced runs this year, the latter over 1400m at Parislongchamp on May 15th in a handicap. Hard to fancy
  34. MISTER CHANG – Unplaced last time, 2nd before that over 1400m at Parislongchamp in a handicap on April 24th. Capable of being on the premises
  35. VICTORY FOLIE – Five unplaced efforts of late, 6th at Saint-Cloud on the most recent over 1600m in a handicap on June 3rd. Place chance
    Summary: SCANDALO (2) won well on debut at this track over 1400m last July and ran well to be third in a Group 3 race at Deauville on his second start. He acquitted himself well at Parislongchamp in a Listed race last time and will find this less challenging. He can score from WEWILLDANCEAGAIN (1), who was fourth in a Class 1 race two runs back at this track. ASHERAH (8) is talented, if relaxing, she can be involved. MISTER CHANG (10) heads the rest.

  40. ATLANTIC WAYS – Two unplaced runs since a win over 1400m at Fontainebleau on April 1st in a conditions race. Enters calculations each way

  44. BID FOR CHESTER – 6th last time over 1200m at Durtal on June 9th in a Class 3 race. Might find a few of these too smart
  45. VERA CAO – Credible 4th on the PSF in a Class 3 handicap on May 23rd over 1500m and a win before that on the same surface in March. Likes this track and sets the standard
  46. DULINI – Two unplaced efforts of late, 2nd before that over 1300m on the PSF at Deauville in a Class 3 handicap on January 3rd. Needs to be more reliable
  47. REMAMA – Three unplaced efforts of late, the latter over 1600m at Parislongchamp on June 8th in a Class 2 handicap. Lacks consistency
  48. LYNX WESTMINSTER – Two unplaced runs of late, well beaten over 1400m at Saint-Cloud on May 13th in a Class 3 handicap on the most recent. Needs to get back on track
    Summary: VERA CAO (10) likes this surface and has been in decent shape with a win in March over 2000m and two second-placed efforts at this venue early last year. She is lightly raced and has more to come. TOIJK (8) has solid form on the PSF and was a creditable fourth in a Class 3 race at this track two runs back in late March. ATLANTIC WAYS (5) won at Fontainebleau in April and can be involved in her PSF debut. WOFF (2) is another to consider each- way.

  63. PRINCE DES DUNES – Fair 2nd on his last run over 1600m at Compiegne on May 30th in a Class 4 handicap. One to keep safe
  64. AL RASSOUL – Credible 3rd two runs back over 1600m at Parislongchamp on April 24th in a Class 4 handicap. Place chance
    Summary: ALPENGEIST (10) shaped well to be third at Compiegne on the latest start late in May in a handicap and is racing off a good racing weight. JUSSIFER (9) could be the main danger. He knows how to win and was a decent third at Marseille Borely late last month on his latest start. DIWAN SENORA (5) has been consistent and placed in the last six outings. WEEKEND WARRIOR (3) was a decent second at Compiegne 11 days ago and is also worth considering.

  76. STRAKO – 7th on the last run over 2000m at Parislongchamp on May 22nd in a Class 3 race. Won twice last year and he will strip fitter for his recent run
  77. THE FIRST DANCE – Three unplaced runs of late, the latter over 1950m at Parislongchamp in a Class 3 race on May 4th. Capable on her day and a better run expected
    Summary: THE FIRST DANCE (13) is useful on her day, and she can get back to form after a couple of below-par performances. She is the tentative selection ahead of STRAKO (12), who will be fitter for a recent run at Parislongchamp late last month. He handles all types of surfaces. ALFRED (10) needs to recapture his better form to feature, but he has the talent and has been fairing better than his recent form figures. SEIGNEUR (9) makes up the shortlist.

  91. ROYALTIES – Four unplaced runs this year, the latter over 1200m at Lyon Parilly on May 29th in a Class 4 race. Little to recommend
  92. SUMMER FLIRT – Four unplaced runs of late, the latter over 2000m at Compiegne in a Class 3 handicap on June 6th. Unlikely to threaten
  93. ACHKI – Unplaced last time, 2nd previously over 1400m at Parislongchamp on May 4th in a Class 4 handicap. Among the leading each way chances
    Summary: FASTER (7) has been placed on her last two runs and holds a leading chance of getting back in the winner’s circle. She is preferred over KATHALINA (12), who scored at Compiegne 11 days ago, and if non the worse, she can be competitive under a penalty. URI (3) is not out of it and is much better than his last run; he is best judged on his fourth at Compiegne in early May. HIGHFIELD HEIRESS (10) can blow hot and cold but can be involved.

  106. PLANTHALYA – 9th last time, she won before that over 1600m at Compiegne on May 30th in a Class 3 handicap. Needs a few to misfire
  107. KING HARTWOOD – 6th last time over 1600m at Compiegne in a Class 3 handicap on June 9th. He won at Parislongchamp in late April and holds leading claims
  108. JORDAN BAKER – Two unplaced runs of late, 3rd before that over 1600m in a Class 4 handicap at Bordeaux Le Bouscat on April 29th. Best to look elsewhere
  109. D DAY MAN – Several unplaced runs of late, 9th on the latter over 1400m at Parislongchamp in a Class 3 handicap. Looks vulnerable
    Summary: MAGIC STARS (12) gets in at the right end of the handicap, and she was a fair sixth on her last start at Vichy in a Class 4 handicap late in May. She gets the vote ahead of KING HARTWOOD (14), who scored three runs back in April at Parislongchamp and can make his rivals work hard. PRAIRIE GLORY (10) is one to include in all of the place bet permutations. NANTIKA (9) will be full of confidence after success at Lignieres in mid-April and can be involved at the business end.

    Summary: LE GRAND ZAMPANO (13) has the ability to win a race but is not always straightforward. He could get it right in a race like this. LABEL DU MONT (16) showed improvement with a good win at Châtillon-sur-Chalaronne and could double up if in the same mood. LILLY DE GOUYE (11) has improved of late and would not be a surprise winner.
