French Selections Friday 11th

R1 CABOURG [R-H]

C1 – PRIX DES LANTANAS – 2725m (a1m1/2) – Class F Race – Harness – EUR € 27,000

JET DE BUSSET – 11th of 16 in a 2750m amateurs Class G here on 1 July. Has 4 runs under his belt and, already twice a winner racing clockwise, is easy to like for the win
DALI’DEL RONCO – Runner-up in last 2, latterly a 2875m Enghien Class D mid-June. Has taken well to French conditions and has a decent chance of opening his French account
WINGAIT HENKE – Last of 11 behind COSTELLO O.E. (10) over 2300m in Mons 2.5 weeks ago. Has never excelled racing clockwise but has pulled a good number and should not be ruled out
JOKER DU MATCH – Did not have the best of trips in a 2400m Amiens Class E a month back, coming 5th of 13. Is otherwise hard to knock when barefoot and appreciates Cabourg. Well-drawn and will not be going home empty-handed
EL VEGO KHALIFA – Gave a fine account on French bow 10 days ago when 2nd of 10 in a 2850m Feurs Class D. Races right-handed for first time but has a lot going for him here and must be regarded a leading contender
DIGITAL INDY – Hardy element that failed to live up to expectations in a 2750m Nimes Class F mid-June when 12th of 13. Has decent right-handed references and with Yoann Lebourgeois reining will be afforded every chance
JIGSAW D’AMOUR – Authoritative winner at Chartres before faulting in a 2800m Moulins Class F on 29 June. Gets a top pilot for the occasion and will have his chances
J’Y SUIS J’Y RESTE – Won 3 in a row before coming 2nd of 12 in a 2825m Chartres Class D on 29 June. Shoes fitted this time though and will have other priorities
JOKER BODENSEE – Put a trio of sanctions behind him to win a 2200m Caen amateurs Class G 2.5 weeks ago. Has previously imposed here when shod but the draw will do him no favours
COSTELLO O.E. – Secured the hat-trick when comfortably winning over 2300m in Mons 2.5 weeks ago. Boasts an enviable right-handed strike-rate but takes on too much this time
LUKA MODRIC – 9th of 13 in a 2750m Nimes Class F on 15 June. Is confirmed right-handed but still not a priority
DEMIDOFF CLA – Drops in category after being sanctioned in a 2850m Vincennes Class D 2 weeks ago. Not ideally-drawn but still looks competitively well in
JAGUAR DE ROZEVIC – Sanctioned in 3 of last 4, most recently a 2300m Chateaubriant Class F last Monday, and backs up with little to offer
DANILO SPRITZ – Won 2 of last 3, most recently over 2060m in Turin. Sanctioned in all 3 French starts but is plainly in good shape and can play a small role if Marco Stefani successfully navigates the start
Summary: Nicely-engaged close to the limit of earnings, JET DE BUSSET (1) may not look an obvious pick on paper but he is significantly better than recent numbers would suggest and, if sufficiently tuned-up, can win this. DALI’DEL RONCO (2), on the other hand, is markedly more consistent and will be dangerous if he turns. Better-positioned behind the car, and solid in last week’s French debut, EL VEGO KHALIFA (5) is a live chance. Shod as he was when successful at Chartres, JIGSAW D’AMOUR (7) will be reined by Benjamin Rochard this time and will be no pushover if applied.
SELECTIONS
JET DE BUSSET (1) – DALI’DEL RONCO (2) – EL VEGO KHALIFA (5) – JIGSAW D’AMOUR (7)
C2 – PRIX ANTHYLLIDES – 2750m (a1m1/2) – Class E Race – Harness – EUR € 26,000
KANSAS BONBON – Has looked decidedly ordinary of late, lastly finishing 10th of 11 behind KING OF DAY (5) in a 2100m Vincennes Class E on 13 June, and can be passed over
KILOU – Sanctioned in last 2, latterly a 2775m Craon Class E on 23 June, and must get his house in order
KIRA DE CAHOT – Showed improvement when 4th of 16 in a 2700m Segre Class E 3.5 weeks ago. Has never failed to fire for Yoann Lebourgeois and, although an outside chance, is still not to be ruled out
KILLER ANGOT – Disappointing in last 2, most recently last of 9 behind KRONOS D’ERPION (7) in a 2150m Enghien Class E a fortnight ago. 4 pads fitted this time and poses no danger
KING OF DAY – In the frame in all 4 barefoot runs this year, latterly 3rd of 11 in a 2100m Vincennes Class E on 13 June. Has come close in 3 of 4 Cabourg runs and will be expected to finish in the mix
KALICINE – Made it 2 in a row when successful in a 2200m Caen Class E 3 weeks ago. Sports modified shoeing and although unlikely to pull off the 3-timer, can nevertheless get in on the action
KRONOS D’ERPION – 6th of 9 in a 2150m Enghien Class E a fortnight ago. Just front pads fitted this time and cannot be considered a player
KIDY D’EPONA – Has not been seen out since faulting in a 2725m Class E here last August and will have other ambitions
KEOPS DU BUHOT – Last but one, on return to competition, in a 2775m Craon Class E on 23 June and can expect to have few takers
KOMMUNES DE PLAY – Last but one behind KIARA BLUE (13) in a 2100m Vincennes Class E 2.5 weeks ago. Reconfigured for the occasion but has made no impact for past 12 months and is not about to start now
KORIGANE D’ERABLE – Returns to a track she likes after running 6th of 10 behind KIARA BLUE (13) in a 2100m Vincennes Class E 2.5 weeks ago, and can challenge for a step on the podium
KASHMIRE TONIC – Barring a brace of sanctions he has excelled in France, latterly winning a 2825m Class F at Le Croise-Laroche with ease 2.5 weeks ago, and looks eminently capable of confirming
KIARA BLUE – 3rd of 10 in a 2100m Vincennes Class E 2.5 weeks ago. Is presently enjoying a productive run of form and while short of clockwise references, she should not be ignored
KOMEO DU DOME – Got back in the game at La Capelle 3 weeks ago when 3rd of 11 in a 2750m Class E, and with stride in check can trot his way into the frame
KLEMS DE JAVIE – Showed considerable improvement in a 2850m Laval Class E a month back, finishing 3rd of 11. Benefits from a good entry and must be respected
KERIDO D’ALOUETTE – Made up for Vichy blip when unopposed winner of a 2500m Reims Class E on 1 June, his 2nd victory in 4 starts, and considering the entry can give KASHMIRE TONIC (12) a run for his money
Summary: Occasionally a handful but otherwise a fine servant, KASHMIRE TONIC (12) stormed up at Le Croise-Laroche last month and it would be no surprise to see him double his money. The well-engaged KERIDO D’ALOUETTE (16) imposed with similar authority at Reims and looks the principal threat, however the capricious KOMEO DU DOME (14) goes barefoot for the first time and will be no easy touch if applied. KORIGANE D’ERABLE (11) has never disappointed here and David Thomain can expect another competitive performance.
SELECTIONS
KASHMIRE TONIC (12) – KERIDO D’ALOUETTE (16) – KOMEO DU DOME (14) – KORIGANE D’ERABLE (11)
C3 – PRIX OUEST FRANCE (PRIX DES MUSCARIS) – 2750m (a1m1/2) – Class D Race – Mounted – EUR € 37,000
JABLO DU CHENE – Reassuring 2nd of 10 in a 2950m Vichy Class E on 25 June. Adores Cabourg and will be expected to apply the pressure on JULIA QUICK (3)
FAUST DE BEYLEV – Last of 11 when being conditioned in a 3450m Agon harness Class E on 22 June. Front pads fitted this time and will have a mountain to climb
JULIA QUICK – Talented sort that lost her maiden monte tag in style at Caen mid-June when flying up in a 2450m Class D. Benjamin Rochard in the irons this time and can repeat if she stays focused
HOTKATISSIME – 5th of 6 finishers, a place behind FALTO DES LANDIERS (9), in a 2950m Vichy Class D on 2 June. Is unbeaten in 3 starts over course and distance and, barefoot this time, is not to be underestimated
IKURO JIEL – Flew up at Meslay-du-Maine in early-May before being sanctioned in a 2850m Vincennes Class C later that month. Has been afforded ample time to recalibrate and on good behaviour will not be far off the mark
HUIS CLOS (SWE) – Clearly capable but has been struggling of late, most recently 11th of 12 in a 2950m Toulouse Class D on 18 June. Is confirmed in this category but in current condition looks more a minor place prospect
HIS DREAM DE CAHOT – Showed improvement when 5th of 9 finishers behind IGO CLEA (10) in a 2850m Vincennes Class C 3 weeks ago.
HEROS DE BEYLEV – 6th of 10 finishers in a 2950m Vichy Class D last week. Has done little of note since 2023 and is unlikely to spring any surprises
FALTO DES LANDIERS – Unexceptional 6th of 9 finishers behind IGO CLEA (10) in a 2850m Vincennes Class C 3 weeks ago. Alexis Collette in the irons this time but still not a contender
IGO CLEA – 3rd of 9 finishers in a 2850m Vincennes Class C 3 weeks ago. Has been knocking at the door lately and will be competitive for a place in the frame
FLOPY RUSH – Out of the picture in last 4 starts, most recently 11th of 13 in a 2450m Caen Class B 2 months ago. Goes barefoot this time but others still preferred
ELIXIR – Out of the picture in 6 since the winter spell, most recently 8th of 9 finishers behind IGO CLEA (10) in a 2850m Vincennes Class C 3 weeks ago, and has no possible chance
Summary: She may not be the most reliable of mares but JULIA QUICK (3) set a course record monte chrono of 1’11″2 at Caen last month when opening her ridden account and with application should be able to wrap this up. Barring his Caen sanction, JABLO DU CHENE (1) has not put a foot wrong this term, thrives at Cabourg, goes barefoot this time, and will be no easy touch. IKURO JIEL (5) is never far from faulting but a repeat of his Meslay performance would see him contest the finish once more. IGO CLEA (10) has been as solid as a rock in 2025, boasts excellent clockwise references, and is unlikely to disappoint.
SELECTIONS
JULIA QUICK (3) – JABLO DU CHENE (1) – IKURO JIEL (5) – IGO CLEA (10)
C4 – PRIX DES HELLEBORES – 2750m (a1m1/2) – Class E Race – Harness – EUR € 33,000
HIBISCUS NORMAND – Sanctioned in a 2725m Lisieux Class F last week. Has otherwise been in good shape, is more competitively-shod this time, and should not be written off
IRMINIO KILY – Encouraging 4th of 11 in a 2725m Class E here a week ago. Has placed in 2 of 3 Cabourg runs and on good behaviour will be competitive for a place in the frame
IASELMA – 7th of 12 finishers in a 2675m Lisieux Class F last week. Not as sharp this term as she was last winter and is unlikely to create an upset
ICONOCLASTE ERABLE – Close 2nd of 17 in a 2725m Lisieux Class F last week. Has never disappointed in the day’s configuration and can win his first race since August 2023
IRON BIRD DEVOL – Starts for first time since being sanctioned in a 2700m Graignes Class E in early-April. Shoes fitted and poses no danger
ISKOYA – Defied his odds to come 4th of 8 finishers in a Class E over course and distance 10 days ago. Unlikely to repeat but with Benjamin Rochard in the bike will be afforded every chance
GET READY – 8th of 11 behind GAVROCHE ANABA (11) in a 2625m Morlaix Class H mid-June. Has done little of note for some time and can be passed over
IRMA DE L’ECLAIR – Makes first appearance since being sanctioned in a 2750m Class F at La Capelle on 4 May. Will be fresh, placed last time here, and can challenge for the win
IDEAL DU BOUILLON – 9th of 15 in a 3125m Granville Class E on 8 June. Goes barefoot for first time in 17 months and will be worth monitoring
INFERNAL SPIRIT – Quality element that finished last of 11 when preparing for this in a 2450m Caen Class F 2.5 weeks ago. Will be fit by now and is expected to finish close
GAVROCHE ANABA – 8th of 9 finishers in a 2600m Class E at Le Mont-Saint-Michel on 30 June and is not about to trouble the judge
IROCKO STRYCK – Gave a good account at Caen before running 7th of 11, a place behind GAVROCHE ANABA (11), in a 2625m Morlaix Class H mid-June. Reverts to a previous formula and Cedric Terry will be eager to capitalise on the good entry
GLORIOSO BELLO – 10th of 16 when being conditioned in a 2875m Arras Class A late last month. Hind shoes on this time but still not a concern
HIRONDELLE FEE – Sanctioned in last 2, latterly over course and distance a week ago. Is useful when focused, has form here, and despite the extra 25m to cover can play a small part
GEDEON DAIRPET – Failed to confirm late-May success when 5th of 16 in a 2700m Vincennes Class D 3 weeks ago. Enjoys an excellent entry though and has a reasonable chance of overcoming the 25m handicap. Chance
Summary: Consistently in the thick of things when unshod, ICONOCLASTE ERABLE (4) did not miss out by much last week and even though reconfigured can trot off with the silverware. He will still come under pressure from IRMA DE L’ECLAIR (8) who should not be too hastily-judged for her latest performance, and GEDEON DAIRPET (15) even though 25m worse off. IRMINIO KILY (2) left a very good impression here a week ago and will not be far off the mark if Franck Nivard manages to keep him focused. Very much a fan of Cabourg, INFERNAL SPIRIT (10) is shod to preference and easy to recommend.
SELECTIONS
ICONOCLASTE ERABLE (4) – IRMA DE L’ECLAIR (8) – GEDEON DAIRPET (15) – IRMINIO KILY (2)
C5 – PRIX SWEET FM (PRIX DES HEMEROCALLES) – 2050m (a1m1/4) – Class E Race – Harness – EUR € 22,000
LEANE DU PARC – It took 23 runs but she lost her maiden status in a 2200m Caen Class E 3 weeks ago. Has placed in 1 of 2 here and from the front row can play a prominent role
LAURA SISSI – Made amends for Caen sanction when 3rd of 9 in a 2725m Class E here on 4 July. Enjoys a good spot on the front line and with application can again finish close
LAMBADA TURGOT – Won twice at Reims before finishing last but one in a 2150m Argentan Class E 2 months ago. Barefoot this time but others still easier to back
LATINA DU FER – Made short work of a 2800m Chartres Class E on 29 June, first time racing barefoot. Shoes off again and in similar shape can make first 5
LUCIA DU CHATELET – Sanctioned in 6 of 7 this year, most recently a 2700m Vittel Class E on 29 June. Is better than most here, is well-placed behind the car, and if applied can get in on the action
LEGENDE DU BOULAY – 2nd of 5 finishers to LIBERTY HEROLD (8) in a 2575m Gournay-en-Bray claimer early last month but looks out of her depth this time
LADY FLO DE MAX – Useful filly making first appearance since finishing 7th of 8 in a 2150m Argentan Class E last March. May be a race shy but is still worth keeping an eye on
LIBERTY HEROLD – Unable to confirm Gournay victory when last of 13 in a 2675m Class F at Le Mont-Saint-Michel 11 days ago, and already looks out of her depth
LA FOULE – Steps up in category and returns to racing right-handed after running 4th of 13 in a 2825m Sable-sur-Sarthe Class F late last month. Gets first chance to race barefoot and can make it a winning one
LOYALE DAIRPET – Back under harness after running 6th of 9 finishers in a 2750m monte Class E here 10 days ago. At this level though is unlikely to influence the outcome
LA BELLE MARJACK – 4th of 12 finishers in a 2675m Lisieux Class G 3 weeks ago. Is being aimed too high this time and can be passed over
LETTRE D’ERABLE – 7th of 13 when being conditioned in a 2300m Chateaubriant Class E on Monday. Will be race-fit by now and the new configuration may well be key to her success
Summary: Much improved in her last 2 starts, LA FOULE (9) goes barefoot for the first time, has won twice right-handed, and despite a poor draw still looks the one to beat. Julien Dubois will nevertheless be mindful of a competitively-shod LETTRE D’ERABLE (12) who has 2 runs in him since the layoff, and LEANE DU PARC (1) who got off the mark at Caen 3 weeks ago. LAURA SISSI (2) pleased here a week ago and although unlikely to get her nose in front, can still finish in the mix.

C6 – PRIX DES PIVOINES – 2750m (a1m1/2) – Class C Race – Harness – EUR € 29,000
MINOU MONTVASON – Unexceptional colt that lost his action in a 2725m Lisieux Class F 3 weeks ago and is not about to create an upset
MAJON – Failed to confirm Laval success when sanctioned in a 2725m Class D here 10 days ago. Showed his form on that occasion but still has more to find
MUSIKO CAUVELLIERE – 3rd of 9 finishers, on return from a spell, in a 2725m Class D here 10 days ago. Will not be available at 93/1 this time but will not be as competitive either
MAVISTA – Ran 4th at Lisieux before repeating in a 2150m Enghien Class D a fortnight back, but appears to be taking on too much this time
MYLEY ELDE – 2nd of 13, on first start back, in a 2450m Caen Class D a month ago but faces a much stiffer test this time around
MOLLY DU VALLON – Put in a good finish to come 5th of 10 in a 2850m Vincennes Class D on 17 June. Is new to Cabourg but starts in front here and has a decent chance of making the frame
MAJOR MESLOIS – Was not afforded the best of trips when last of 8 in a 2700m Vincennes Class C 2.5 weeks ago. Is plainly better than that, goes well right-handed, and should be good enough to pick up a minor place cheque
MARCHAND DE REVE – By no means disgraced when 5th of 10 in a 2950m Toulouse Class B on 18 June. Ideally-entered on the front line and while unlikely to lose his maiden tag, should nevertheless hold his own
MISTRAL D’AUVRECY – Makes first appearance since finishing last of 6 in a 2175m Vincennes monte Gr.2 3 months ago, and will not be given a hard race
MY NAME IS BOND – Takes a dip in category after coming 6th of 9 finishers in a 2700m Vincennes Class A on 20 May. Has had time to get back in shape, has yet to disappoint racing clockwise, but still no more than a minor place prospect
MAD OF YOU – Made it 2 in a row when successful in a 2700m Vincennes Class C on 23 May. Has had ample time to recover and makes his Cabourg bow with a lot to offer
MORE AND MORE – Lost her action when full of running in a 2700m Vincennes Gr.3 on 6 June. Is plainly in good shape though and makes his Cabourg debut with a good hand to play
MIX CASH – Classy future prospect making first start since coming 4th of 10 in a 2700m Vincennes Class A in late-April. Will have been prepared for this, has the advantage of already having won here, and can do so again
MAGIC LOVE – Got straight back in the game on re-entry, securing a 2175m Vincennes Class B on 3 June. Has no right-handed references but has buckets of class and should logically contest the finish
Summary: Impressive to date, nicely-engaged, and winner over shorter here earlier in the year, MIX CASH (13) makes his first appearance for just over 2 months but will be race-ready and can oblige. He will nevertheless be pitted against the similarly well-entered MAGIC LOVE (14) who secured a Vincennes Class B on last month’s return from a break, and MORE AND MORE (12) who is back racing clockwise after faulting at Vincennes. At home racing right-handed, MOLLY DU VALLON (6) has kept the faith of Franck Nivard and the 25m head-start will do her chances no disservice.

C7 – PRIX ASTRAGALES – 2750m (a1m1/2) – Class F Race – Mounted – EUR € 23,000
KYRA D’ECOUVES – Back under the saddle after being sanctioned in a harness Class E over course and distance on Tuesday and backs up with a chance of getting a look in
KADOR DELO – Opened his monte account 3 weeks ago, securing a 2575m Reims Class E at 79/1, but a repeat seems most improbable
KISSME COOL D’EB – Faithful servant stepping up in category after running 2nd of 12 in a 2750m Angoulême Class E mid-June. Is not about to win this but certainly has the wherewithal to finish in the mix
KARINE DU DOLLAR – Returning to the ridden code paid off 2.5 weeks ago when successful in a 2450m Caen Class E. Is behind in earnings and should not be written off
KIF DE COSSE – 4th of 10, despite stride woes, in a 2800m Chartres Class E late last month. Goes well for Theo Peltier and will be dangerous if he keeps his charge focused
KARGO DE NUIT – Last but one when preparing for this in a harness Class F over track and trip 10 days ago. Seldom disappoints these days when barefoot and will be no shrinking violet
KOKO MARBOULA – Back under the saddle after finishing last of 11 in a 2725m Graignes harness claimer on 14 June and is not about to shake things up
KALMIA DES NOES – Disappointing 7th of 9 finishers in a 2950m Saint-Malo Class F on Tuesday. Is proven here with front pads fitted but takes on too much this time
KOOL DANOVER – Last of 10, a place behind KARGO DE NUIT (6), in a harness Class F over track and trip 10 days ago. Has shown no aptitude for the monte discipline and can be ruled out
KILLIE EILISH – Won 2 from 3 before losing her action in a 2450m Caen Class E in late-May. Comes here fresh and can figure prominently if Florian Desmigneux keeps her mind on the game
KERIDA PHEDO – Last of 8, on return from a layoff, in a 2275m Nantes Class E on 2 June. Will have progressed for the run and has previously won here in the day’s configuration. First 5
KONQUERANT – Gave a reassuringly good account when 3rd of 11 in a 2450m Caen Class E on 31 May. Trainer could not have wished for a better entry and François Lagadeuc will be determined to make hay. Claim
Summary: Much more reliable under the saddle this year, the terrifically-engaged KONQUERANT (12) has never disappointed in either code here and, barefoot this time, will be a tough nut to crack. François Lagadeuc can still expect to feel the heat from a similarly barefoot KARGO DE NUIT (6) who prepped here earlier in the month, and KIF DE COSSE (5) who has won 2 of his last 3 monte starts. The talented KILLIE EILISH (10) has had ample time to recalibrate following her Caen sanction and must be taken at face value.

C8 – PRIX DES LEUCANTHEMES – 2750m (a1m1/2) – Class E Race – Harness – EUR € 22,000
MORNY DE TROUVILLE – Sanctioned in a 2950m Vichy Class F late last month. Is by some margin the weakest link here and can be disregarded
MAXIMUS MATIDY – Handy colt but has not raced since finishing last but one in a 2450m Caen Class E in late-March and is unlikely to make much of an impact
MALKO MESLOIS – Made up for Segre sanction when 2nd of 12 in a 2600m Class E at Le Mont-Saint-Michel late last month, and will be no soft touch if he keeps his action together
MESSAGE PERSONNEL – Was not over-taxed when 4th of 9 in a 2850m Laval Class E a fortnight ago. Is plainly in fine shape and can win this if he takes to the Cabourg profile
MADE IN LOVE PASS – Has not been seen out since coming 5th of 13 in a 2000m Rambouillet Class E on 20 April. Has shown he is no slouch but may just need another run
MISTRAL DU REGENCY – Has done nothing but improve since his mid-May re-entry, latterly 3rd of 10 in a 2425m Angers Class E on 10 June. Alexis Collette in the bike this time and will be confident of a big run. Place chance
MY WAY LOVE – 8th of 10 on comeback in a 2050m Class E here a week ago. Will have come on for the race and has a reasonable chance of picking up a first-5 cheque
MALICIOSO – Last of 8 on re-entry in a 2200m Vincennes Class D a month back. Will have progressed for the run, is unbeaten going clockwise, and must be considered a player
Summary: Winner on turf first time out, MESSAGE PERSONNEL (4) ran better next time at Laval than the result would suggest and returning to racing right-handed may be just what’s required to win this. Jean-Philippe Dubois will still be keeping an eye on the complicated but talented MALKO MESLOIS (3) who went close recently, and the improving MISTRAL DU REGENCY (6) whose recent Angers performance bodes well for his prospects. Winner of his only right-handed start, MALICIOSO (8) has a race under his belt since the spell and Franck Nivard gets the nod this time.

C1 – PRIX AU DELICE DE LA BIERE – REUIL – 2700m (a1m1/2) – Class F Race – Harness – EUR € 18,000

MARIEKE’S BOY – In good form and finished 3rd in Class F at Le Croisé-Laroche over 2825m on 16 June. In the mix on that showing but does have disqualification issues
MARIO DU CAIEU – Consistent so far and fininished 3rd in Class F at Amiens over 2400m on 28 June. Can get involved with the finish yet again
MONDIAL DE FAVEROL – In good shape and was 4th in Class E at this track over 2700m on 20 June. One for the shortlist and can make the frame
MAMBO NAM – Disqualified at Rouen-Mauquenchy on 17 March. Did much better on debut and could be a threat if wise this time
MOJITO CENE – Has struggled of late and finished 8th in Class F at Laon over 2225m on 29 June. Needs to find a few lengths to win
MAGNUM MESLOIS – Showed what he is capable of when a winner in Class G at Elbeuf over 2750m on 22 June. Needs to confirm that improvement but can double up
MILLIUM QUESNOT – Consistent and finished 3rd in Class F at this track over 2750m on 31 May. Has a place chance in this line-up
MIVACHI – Unreliable and finished 9th in Class D at Toulouse over 2750m on 6 June. Faces a drop in class but can earn some money
MOUSUA KRAAILO – Has not shown much and finished 9th in Class E at this track over 2700m on 20 June. Needs to do a lot more to beat these rivals
MEETING MESLOIS – Much improved second run when finishing 4th in Class G at Orléans over 2200m on 29 June. Can do even better this time around
MOLSHEIM – Unreliable and finished 5th in Class F at Amiens over 2400m on 28 June. Could improve but more needed is beat these rivals
MAJOR DU COUDOU – Disqualified in his last three starts, most recently at this track on 6 July. Needs to prove reliability
Summary: Trainer Pierre Belloche has a decent hand in this race. MAGNUM MESLOIS (6) showed improvement when winning at Elbeuf and could have more wins in the tank. MEETING MESLOIS (10) showed nice progress in his second start and could be a threat. MARIO DU CAIEU (2) is threatening to win a race and should be right there at the finish again. MARIEKE’S BOY (1) has improved of late and could shine once more.

LOVA DE SANA – In good form and wona Class F mounted race at Nancy over 2600m (27 Jun). Better under the saddle and others are preferred
LOULOUTE DE BOUERE – Only modest of late and finished 5th in Class F at Sablé‑sur‑Sarthe over 2825m (29 Jun). More is needed to beat these rivals

She can give another good account of herself. ZENADIA (5) ran in a Class 2 race last time when she was fourth, and this is not as competitive. GENERAL CHOP (4) has placed form recently at Saint-Cloud in this grade and warrants respect.

VIKING D’AUMONT – Two solid performances recently, a win at Saint-Cloud on May 9th over 1600m in a Class 4 handicap and a 4th at Compiegne on May 30th. Enters calculations
KATHALINA – 6th last time, won before that over 1600m at Compiegne on June 9th in a Class 3 handicap.
SANPEDRO – Unplaced on the one run this year over 1950m in a Class 4 handicap at Chateaubriant on June 25th. He won 3 races in 2024. Looks vulnerable
BALERION – Several unplaced runs of late, the most recent at Erbray in a Class 4 race over 2200m on June 22nd. Still a maiden after 20 starts
ACHKI – 4th on his last run over 1600m at Chantilly in a Class 3 handicap on June 20th.
WHATEVER IT COSTS – Four recent unplaced runs, the most recent over 1600m in a Class 3 handicap at Compiegne on June 9th.Needs to get back on track

RED CRAZY – Placed 4th on his last three runs, the latest over 1600m at Compiegne on May 30th. Ought to be thereabouts
LLOYD – Four unplaced runs of late, well beaten at Nantes in a Class 4 handicap on July 3rd. Out of form and best avoided
PADDY WHITE HEART – Two unplaced runs of late, the latest over 1600m at Chantilly in a Class 4 handicap on June 20th. Makes no appeal
REDRUNNER – Unplaced last time, 4th at Compiegne previously over 1400m in a Class 4 handicap on March 28th. Unlikely to threaten
Summary: . ACHKI (5) looks the most likely winner in this open handicap. He was a solid fourth at Chantilly last time, and a repeat of that effort could see him go one better. KATHALINA (2) is the main danger, having scored at Compiègne two runs ago and now gets the assistance of Maxime Guyon. ALPENGEIST (8) has produced two good placed efforts recently, including a fourth at Chantilly, and can be competitive again. DIWAN SENORA (7) completes the shortlist.

JOYCE GALESTE – Two fair efforts of late, a win on her penultimate start at Compiegne in late May in a Class 3 handicap and a 4th on June 16th in a Class 3 handicap at the same track. Place chance
Summary: KARINAS DREAM (3) acquitted himself well enough when he was fifth at Nantes in mid-June on his latest start, and this previous course and distance winner can get another success at the expense of MANDRES (11), who shaped well to be third at Compiegne on her last start in June. She could be reaching her peak condition. SIMANCAS (13) and LA BONITA (14) look viable options for the each-way enthusiasts.

MILL LANE – Four unplaced runs of late, the latter over 1400m at Compiegne on June 27th in a Class 3 handicap. Looks safely held
Summary: CAREGIVER (4) has been a bit below his best recently, but is capable in this class of handicap. He was a decent second at Compiegne in June and should get the better of FASTER (3), who had a confidence-boosting success at Chantilly late last month in a Class 3 handicap. PIANTARELLA (8) has been performing well on her latest two runs and can once again give a solid account of herself. RUBIS GOLD (11) looks best of the others.

Summary: An interesting start to the card. INGENIOUS BOND (10) has shown good improvement, winning twice in this division, and has every chance of completing the hat-trick. HOLD MAJYC (11) is in very good form, remains barefoot, and is a danger once again. IMPRESARIO (4) was not disgraced when returning from a lengthy break and will strip fitter this time.

Summary: MORGANA GUILLERVIL (7) faced a tougher field than this at Saint-Galmier. She was threatening to win a race before that and gets the vote to score. MADISON DE NIMES (9) won on debut and has not been disgraced in two runs since, so she can be a threat. MELODIE D’HOULBEC (5) ran better than her finishing position suggests at Cavaillon and could contest the finish. MAMBO PAT (6) has patchy form but is capable of making the frame.

It is an open-looking race, though, and JOLI MEC D’AMOUR (5), a previous winner at this track, would not be a surprise winner.

Summary: JIMBO SPORT (4) has already won eight times this year, including last time out at Reims. This is a tougher task, but there’s no real reason to look past him. JOLIE MÔME CHIC (3) is not as reliable as the selection but has the ability to win a race at this level. JACKPOT DE MAHEY (6) is barefoot this time, so a much-improved performance is expected.

Summary: HORIZON D’EYMY (3) has been putting in a string of top-notch performances in some fantastic time trials. He is at the top of his game and that could set up a great duel with ILLICO DE CASTELLE (7) who is also in superb form which he showed with a strong win last time. HERAKLION (6) always gives of her best and if the top two fail she should be there to pick up the pieces. GRIZMAN (1) is better than his last run suggests and more can be expected this time.

Summary: KODEX (2) had to race without cover last time and that proved costly. He should be approaching his best form and looks competitive for a victory. If he does not get boxed in with his No 1 position behind the autostart, KADOR D’OCCAGNES (1) can give KODEX (2) a run for his money. KIR VENUS (12) is improving with every start and could be dangerous. KRUSTY (3) should not be ignored because of his mistake at Reims last time.

Summary: This is quite an open race but it is LUCKY ARCTIC (3) who looks to have the best winning chance. LABEL TURGOT (7) comes from an in-form stable and they have called on a top driver.
