French Selections Saturday 8th

R1 VINCENNES [L-H]

C1 – PRIX DE BACQUEVILLE – 2175m (a1m1/4) – Class B – Harness – EUR € 52,000

MAGGY JENILOU – Has evident ability but is as complicated as they get and is not easy to recommend on first start back
MABELLISSIME – Missed out by little in a 2150m Enghien Class C on re-entry early last month. Will have come on for the run, has shown decent versatility, and can challenge for the win
MUNIA – Came good over 2700m here in late-September before running 3rd in a 2700m Graignes Class B 12 days later. Is unlikely to get her nose in front but still cannot be ruled out
MORNING PRAYER – Blows hot and cold but ran reassuring 2nd to MOANA MESLOISE (5) in a 2850m Class C over the inner course on 21 October. May not be as good as either stablemate but can still figure prominently
MOANA MESLOISE – Winner of 3 of 4 to date, latterly with ease over the inner course 2.5 weeks ago. Remains undefeated at Vincennes and Pierre Belloche will be determined to keep that fact relevant
MACANA MONNERIE – Quality future prospect dropping in category following a convincing comeback run in a Class A here last month. Goes well for her driver who will be primed to open his charge’s Vincennes account
MALVINA MADRIK – Made up for Gr.3 performance in August when 3rd of 10 in a 2700m Class B here on 26 September. Has had ample time to recover and looks competitive for a first-3 cheque
MAIA JIEL – Tenacious winner over 2100m here before losing her action completely, also here, 3 weeks ago. Drops in category and Franck Ouvrie will be minded to get her off on the right foot. Chance
MIRATISSIME – Completely out of the picture since returning to competition and in this company will have nothing to offer
MADNESS SAM – Got off the mark over 2875m at Enghien in mid-August. Quickly eliminated on re-entry 3 weeks ago and although not a priority, is still worth monitoring
MY QUALITA PIYA – Well-regarded filly but has not been seen out since 16 August and has yet to show much liking for Vincennes
Summary: Sent for a well-earned rest after pulling off the hat-trick at Enghien in July, MACANA MONNERIE (6) put in a solid effort on her comeback in superior company 3 weeks ago. She will have progressed for the run and with Benjamin Rochard back in the bike can return to winning ways. She will still come under pressure from the likes of MAIA JIEL (8) who was eliminated that day, just a month after getting off the mark here, and MOANA MESLOISE (5) who has demonstrated a particular liking for Vincennes conditions. MALVINA MADRIK (7) has been afforded time to recover from her excellent run here in late-September, and can expect considerable support.
SELECTIONS
MACANA MONNERIE (6) – MAIA JIEL (8) – MOANA MESLOISE (5) – MALVINA MADRIK (7)
C2 – PRIX DE JONCHERY – 2175m (a1m1/4) – Class D – Harness – EUR € 40,000
MAGELLANO SUN – Useful type but has not been seen out since July and cannot be considered a player on Vincennes debut
MARIO MASCAR – Useful sort with a pair of runs in him since the summer break. Appears still to be in conditioning-mode and best to hold off
MEETING MESLOIS – Complicated sort that ran 3rd over 2700m here on 19 September before courageously winning a 2725m Cabourg Class E a fortnight later. Takes on a better bunch this time but will still have his supporters
MELKIOR DE BAILLY – Picked up this term where he left off in the summer and can expect to have few friends
MAMBO THORIS – Back under harness after being eliminated under the saddle at Enghien 3 weeks ago, and in current condition is easy to ignore
MISTER CHARM – Reliability not his strong suit but ran an excellent 3rd of 13 in a Caen Class C on 11 October. Champion driver back in the bike and should again contest the finish
MAMBO DE JAUDRAIS – Never in the mix when surprisingly last of 13 in a 2100m Class C here on 3 October. Should appreciate the sharpness of 2175m and Benjamin Rochard can be quietly confident
MISSILE DE TAGOR – Out of the picture in both return runs. Showed promise earlier in the year but seems to have his work cut out this time
MALIGNO – Put away after losing his maiden status at Caen in June. Could have imposed on re-entry late last month had he been afforded an opening and can make amends with a little more luck in running
MOZART SAUTONNE – Has done everything asked of him so far. Given a short rest after coming close at Cabourg in August and with his handler back in the bike is easy to like for a spot in the mix
MAGICAL – Ran good 3rd at Cabourg before being quickly eliminated on his main-track debut in early-October. Is plainly a progressive colt and can wrap this up if he stays focused
MAGIC LOMIG – Gave a reassuringly good account when 2nd in an Enghien Class D on 13 October. Placed over course and distance during the spring and although not a priority, can nevertheless get in on the action
Summary: Tricky he might be but the superbly-engaged MAGICAL (11) is patently a promising future prospect and can bring home the bacon if Gabriele Gelormini gets him off on the right foot. The Italian will still be wary of the erratic but talented MISTER CHARM (6) who will be reunited with Eric Raffin who won with him during the spring, and MAMBO DE JAUDRAIS (7) who should not be too hastily-condemned for failing to deliver here early last month. MALIGNO (9) was unlucky over longer on his recent comeback and Mathieu Mottier will be out to set the record straight.
SELECTIONS
MAGICAL (11) – MISTER CHARM (6) – MAMBO DE JAUDRAIS (7) – MALIGNO (9)
C3 – PRIX D’AIX LES BAINS – 2700m (a1m1/2) – Class E – Mounted – EUR € 41,000
KOBE BEJI – Imposed under harness in Saint-Malo last weekend but has yet to show any aptitude for the monte code and is also out of his league
KIDAM DU METZ – Unremarkable type in both disciplines and latest results do nothing to inspire confidence
KETCHUP – Won 4 of last 5 starts, latterly a 2850m Class F at Maure-de-Bretagne 3 weeks ago. Is new to the venue but can play a small role if he takes to the new profile
KAVIASE – Sent for a long rest after winning a brace under these conditions last winter. Has a harness conditioner in her and even though still shod, she nevertheless looks a serious player
KOREA – Blows hot and cold but gave a reassuringly good account when 3rd over 2850m under harness here 11 days ago on her first start for Mathieu Mottier. Has been reconfigured for the occasion and is unlikely to be too far from the action
KERSIGAN – Returns to racing barefoot after coming 3rd, a place behind KABALA QUICK (8), in a Laval Class E early last month. Barefoot this time but others still preferred
KILLER FOR LOVA – Left a fine impression at Enghien last month after being eliminated. Is plainly close to his best and with application can challenge for the win
KABALA QUICK – Ran 2nd at Laval in early-October before going one better at Cabourg 6 days later. Goes particularly well for the talented Estelle Croisic who can be confident of another competitive performance
KANKAL – Returns to the discipline after pleasing under harness in the provinces on 13 October. Proved himself here earlier in the year but may be taking on too much this time
KOMDAPI DIESCHOOT – Gave a good account of himself in a similar race here a fortnight ago. Adrien Lamy stays faithful and looks thoroughly capable of repeating
KENENISA SKILL – Beaten only by a very good horse here 2.5 weeks ago. Looks better than the colts she will be pitted against this time and is in with a realistic shout of doubling her money
Summary: Runner-up in a similar event here recently, KENENISA SKILL (11) is just 175 Euros from elimination this time and Benjamin Rochard can be forgiven for expecting to win this. He will still have to take on KILLER FOR LOVA (7) who has never failed to fire when barefoot at Vincennes, and the returning KAVIASE (4) who is undefeated under the saddle. KOMDAPI DIESCHOOT (10) placed here on his recent return to the code, and has a decent chance of making the frame once more.
SELECTIONS
KENENISA SKILL (11) – KILLER FOR LOVA (7) – KAVIASE (4) – KOMDAPI DIESCHOOT (10)
C4 – PRIX D’ARGENTAN – 2700m (a1m1/2) – Class B – Harness – EUR € 72,000
IVANOF – Useful sort in the other code but has not been seen out since early-August and will have other priorities
JAPPELOUP TURGOT – Came 5th in a Feurs Gr.3 before running 4th of 9 in a Class A over track and trip late last month. Has not put a foot wrong for some time and is not about to start now. First 5
HIMBERLAND – Oddly below-par 6th in a Class C over course and distance on 30 October. Is plainly in good shape though and David Thomain will be legitimately expecting to put things right
IGUANE DE CAPONET – Won 5 of last 6 including over course and distance. Takes on some better horses this time but excels with Yoann Lebourgeois and still looks competitive for the win
HOLLYWOOD DU BOIS – Finished a place ahead of HIMBERLAND (3) in a 2850m Class C here on 10 October. Failed to confirm 3 weeks later however and can be ruled out
HABIT DE SOIREE – Showed marked improvement when 4th of 10 in a Class B over track and trip in late-September. Barefoot this time, Eric Raffin stays faithful, but appears no more than a minor place chance
HADES DE L’ITON – 4th in a Feurs Gr.3 before easily securing a Beaumont-de-Lomagne Class C 2.5 weeks ago. Is not a huge Vincennes fan but in current form is difficult to ignore
IBIZA BELLA – Tough mare that was going well when eliminated in Marseille. Has nothing to prove at this level and given the chance can finish close
HANNAH – Switches code after acquitting herself decently under the saddle at Caen. Is here for a change of scenery and will have little to contribute
ILLUSION JIPAD – Useful on a good day and has a race under her belt since the break. Imposed for JMB just over a year ago, runs barefoot this time, but still unlikely to repeat
INDY DARK – Gave a courageous account when 5th in a Class B under these conditions early last month. Has been is fine fettle for some time and looks the one to beat
ILAYA – Put in a fine effort when runner-up in a Class B over course and distance in late-September only to be eliminated. Form is not in question and can play a leading role if focused
INDIGO DE FONTAINE – Unexceptional in either code over recent months. Is not without merit, has been re-shod, but is a far cry from previous form
Summary: Comfortable winner over course and distance in September, INDY DARK (11) was not far off the winner early last month when stepped up in class, and is very easy to like for the spoils this time. Benjamin Rochard can still expect to feel the heat from IGUANE DE CAPONET (4) who has not ceased to impress since the spring, and well-engaged stablemate ILAYA (12) who ran 2nd here last time out only to be eliminated. HIMBERLAND (3) produced 7 solid performances before disappointing here late last month but can nevertheless be brought back into the fold. JAPPELOUP TURGOT (2) left a good impression in a Class A here on 30 October and warrants respect.
SELECTIONS
INDY DARK (11) – IGUANE DE CAPONET (4) – ILAYA (12) – HIMBERLAND (3)
C5 – PRIX DE RANVILLE – 2700m (a1m1/2) – Class E – Harness – EUR € 41,000
KALANSKA – As honest as they come and solid in last 2 Vincennes starts. Little chance of opening her metropolitan account but can nevertheless make first 5
KADIJA MESLOISE – Complicated individual but is clearly in form. Trainer runs her shod this time though and best to keep one’s powder dry
KALINKA MOYA – Won over 2175m here earlier in the year but has otherwise been out of sorts, and even racing barefoot this time still looks out of her depth
KALINKA DU BREUIL – Returns to Paris and sports modified shoeing after being conditioned in a Graignes Class D 9 days ago. Seldom lets the side down when competitively-shod and cannot be ruled out
KASSIOPEE DU NOYER – Somewhat off the boil for past 2 months and will need to get her house in order
KALITY D’ERABLE – Handy element going barefoot following a pair of re-entry runs. Has acquitted herself honourably in all 3 Vincennes starts and can again finish in the mix
KULTA – Showed improvement when 2nd of 16 in a 2850m Class E at Lyon-Parilly late last month. Has delivered just the once at Vincennes and looks a minor place chance at best
KENISA – 10th of 12 behind KIMIKO DU DOUBS (14) in a 2775m Class E conditioner at Les Sables-d’Olonne on 20 October. Goes barefoot this time and while not a priority, can nevertheless make her presence felt
KOMEDIE SOMOLLI – Returns to the harness code after a pair of monte return runs. Has previously imposed under these conditions, sports a fresh configuration, will be reined by Eric Raffin for the first time, but still not easy to recommend
KATELINE DE BRY – Versatile mare but has placed just once in 5 main-track starts and will be shod for return. Disregard
KAYA DU SAPTEL – In the frame in last 3, including over course and distance. Has yet to deliver going left-handed but could well seal the deal this time around
KANELLE DE TILLARD – Has failed to make any impact in either code all year and is not about to trouble the judge
KUNAMATATA – Serious mare that was sent for a break after imposing at Chateaubriant in July. Has never disappointed in the day’s configuration and will have a claim on the spoils
KIMIKO DU DOUBS – Reliability not her strong suit but gave a fine account when 3rd in a Class E at Les Sables-d’Olonne on 20 October. Has previously imposed under these conditions and can expect to be well-supported
KRISTALE D’ERABLE – Makes first appearance since securing the monte double at Vire last May. Shoes on for comeback and will have other ambitions
KAROLENE D’ETANG – Fine sort going barefoot after a pair of return runs. If she can win over 2100m and, more importantly over 2850m, she can impose over 2700m
Summary: Difficult to handle but easy to like when focused, KUNAMATATA (13) has a race under her belt following the summer break. Shod as she was when placing over course and distance in the spring, she will be reunited with Paul Ploquin who simply excels with her. Taking her on though is the tough, and spirited, KAROLENE D’ETANG (16) who benefits from a terrific entry, and KAYA DU SAPTEL (11) who has been knocking at the door. KIMIKO DU DOUBS (14) showed at Les Sables-d’Olonne that she is nearing her best form.
SELECTIONS
KUNAMATATA (13) – KAROLENE D’ETANG (16) – KAYA DU SAPTEL (11) – KIMIKO DU DOUBS (14)
C6 – PRIX DU LANGUEDOC – 2850m (a2m) – Gr3 – Harness – EUR € 90,000
INOUI DANICA – Useful sort starting for the first time since November 2024 and will have other ambitions
JEWELCANDLE FAC – Has 3 runs under her belt since running 3rd in the Cornulier last winter. Is not always the most reliable but will be barefoot for the occasion and has form at a superior level
COBRA KILLER GAR – Made short work, on comeback, of a Class B over track and trip on 30 August. Has not been seen since but will have been prepared for this and should logically take all the beating
HORATIUS D’ELA – Comfortable Class D winner here before finishing last but one in a Feurs Gr.3 in mid-October. Is plainly better than that though and will be reunited with Benjamin Rochard. First 5
GOAL STAR – Eliminated in last 3, latterly on re-entry in Mons 2.5 weeks ago. Is justifiably well-regarded and can get a look in if Paul Ploquin keeps him focused
IDEAL DU POMMEAU – Has a pair of runs in him after almost 2 years on the sidelines. Has talent to burn and even though sporting shoes must not be underestimated
JAZZMAN DEBAILLEUL – Had nothing to give when it mattered in a 2400m Beaumont-de-Lomagne Gr.2 2.5 weeks ago. Presents good credentials in this category though and will be expected to bounce back and finish in the mix
BILO JEPSON – Quality element but has not been seen out since December 2024 and is going to need the race
J’AIME LE FOOT – Good dual-discipline type making first start since winning an Enghien monte Gr.2 on 10 August. Stays shod and best to hold off
HIP HOP HAUFOR – Has 3 runs under his belt following a lengthy layoff. Is twice a winner over course and distance, and barefoot with Alexandre Abrivard in the bike, will be afforded every chance
HULYSSE DIGEO – Won a Gr.2 at La Capelle before failing to deliver in Gr.1 Grand Prix de Wallonie in Mons on 20 September. Comes here fresh, has won 3 of last 4 over course and distance, and must be considered a leading contender
HANNIBAL TUILERIE – Out of the picture in 2 before prepping at Argentan last weekend. Has been freshly-reconfigured and considering his liking for 2850m here, should again play an active role
Summary: Sent for a spell after winning over course and distance in late-August, the remarkably consistent COBRA KILLER GAR (3) steps back up in class but can still wrap this up. No stranger to this level of competition though, HULYSSE DIGEO (11) has looked a different horse this year and, confirmed under these conditions, looks the principal threat. Nicely-engaged at the limit of earnings, the reconfigured HANNIBAL TUILERIE (12) boasts an excellent record over 2850m of the main track and will be no pushover. JAZZMAN DEBAILLEUL (7) races at a more reasonable level this time and is unlikely to be far off the mark.
SELECTIONS
COBRA KILLER GAR (3) – HULYSSE DIGEO (11) – HANNIBAL TUILERIE (12) – JAZZMAN DEBAILLEUL (7)
C7 – PRIX DE BEAUVAIS – 2700m (a1m1/2) – Class D – Harness – EUR € 40,000
LOU DU DONJON – In the frame in 3 of last 4, most recently 2nd of 18 over track and trip late last month. Is close to opening her winter account and is very much in the picture
LILOU DE GUOZ – Unseen since pulling off the hat-trick at Enghien in early-August. Shoes on and not a concern
LAURENE DE BAILLY – 37 runs and yet to get off the mark. Was not disgraced here 2 months ago but François Lagadeuc still faces a tough task
LOVE ME AGAIN – Capable filly with quite the temperament but has shown significant potential. Has a trio of conditioners in her since the summer holiday and can win this if she stays in stride
LAMBADA TURGOT – Reassuring 4th of 11 finishers in a 2750m Cabourg Class D mid-October. Has no left-handed references though and is not a priority
LOVELY FACE – Sent for a spell after biting off too much at Cagnes. Is confirmed in this category and if fully-fit can pick up a minor place cheque
LOLITA DE LA BUTTE – Honest sort that consistently gives her best and is confirmed under these conditions. Prepped here 2.5 weeks ago, races barefoot this time, and should not be far from the action
LOVE GLORY – Has bags of ability but is unraced since July. Shoes fitted for comeback and best to hold off
LELIA FRANCE – Has raced just the once since being sent for a break. Appreciates Vincennes but is in conditioning-mode and can be ruled out
LASSIE – Got straight down to business on re-entry across town a month ago, dominating a Class D. Debuts at Vincennes but with Mathieu Mottier in the bike will be no soft touch
LATINA TOURNIBOIS – Difficult to knock since starting to race barefoot, latterly 3rd in a 2300m Mons conditioner 2 weeks ago, and is unlikely to go home empty-handed
LYRA POTERIE – Placed twice in the provinces before being eliminated at Enghien a month back. Tends to prefer the inner course but benefits from a fine entry, and with Yoann Lebourgeois at the helm must be respected
LA MISS ROYALE – Unable to confirm Mauquenchy success when 4th of 13 over 2100m here on 19 September. Has progressed well since the spring though and is unlikely to disappoint
Summary: As complicated as they come, but by no means short of talent, LOVE ME AGAIN (4) will be race-fit by now, is barefoot for her first objective of the new season, and with application should have this in the bag. That being said, LASSIE (10) has turned a corner since starting to race barefoot and these conditions should be right up her street. LOU DU DONJON (1) confirmed her Enghien form over course and distance in late-October and should again figure prominently, as should the ideally-entered LA MISS ROYALE (13) who has won 2 of her last 4.
SELECTIONS
LOVE ME AGAIN (4) – LASSIE (10) – LOU DU DONJON (1) – LA MISS ROYALE (13)
C8 – PRIX ATLANTIC – 2700m (a1m1/2) – Class D – Harness – EUR € 59,000
JESTA BUISSONAY – Starts for the first time since 23 August. Goes better under the saddle here and will be shod for the occasion
IDOLE D’OURVILLE – Has not won for some time but regularly finishes in the mix. Pleasant 4th over shorter here recently and while not a priority, is still worth keeping an eye on
IRMYLA DE SOMMAIRE – Unable to confirm Amiens performance when 5th in a Class D under these conditions early last month. Takes a step up in category though and chances limited
JOY DU CARNOIS – Has not put a foot out of line since imposing at Le Mans in May. JMB is back in the bike and will be out to make amends for being eliminated on their only prior start together. Chance
FERVENTE – Has looked ordinary since imposing across town in August and with shoes on can be passed over
INES DE LA ROUVRE – Won 2 of last 3, latterly securing a 2100m Class D here a fortnight ago. Not always the most reliable but in current condition is worth retaining for a first-5 payout
JAVA D’ANAMA – Won 3 on the trot before coming 2nd of 15 in a 2450m Caen Class C on 11 October. Presents fine credentials over 2700m here and will be expected to play an active role. Place prospect
IDOLA – Quality mare facing first goal of the season after being conditioned behind JOURNEE REVEE (9) at Caen 3 weeks ago. Is better under the saddle but barefoot with Mathieu Mottier reining, should not be underestimated
JOURNEE REVEE – Has done nothing but improve lately, most recently an unhurried 5th in a Caen Class B. Returns to conditions she likes and can finish closer this time
IRINA DE BAILLY – Pleasantly surprising 3rd in a Rambouillet Class E on 5 October, however a repeat seems most improbable
JASMINE DE VAU – 2nd in a Class D over 2100m here in early-September before running 3rd in a monte Gr.3, also here, a fortnight later. Franck Nivard at the helm this time and can bring the fight to JOYCE DELTO (12)
JOYCE DELTO – Stayed on well to run 3rd in a 2400m Beaumont-de-Lomagne Class D 2.5 weeks ago. Placed in a Craon Gr.3 two months back and given her liking for these conditions, should play a leading role
INITIALE CASTELETS – Useful type in the monte discipline and has little to show for her Vincennes efforts. Disregard
Summary: A wonderfully-consistent mare with a particular flair for 2700m here, JOYCE DELTO (12) has been knocking at the door over recent weeks and, reconfigured for the occasion, can impose. There is no shortage of opposition though, mainly in the form of JASMINE DE VAU (11) who has been excelling in both codes lately, and JAVA D’ANAMA (7) who just missed out on the 4-timer at Caen last month. 7 times a winner in her last 9 starts, JOY DU CARNOIS (4) opened her Vincennes account during the summer and with Jean-Michel reining is very easy to fancy.
SELECTIONS
JOYCE DELTO (12) – JASMINE DE VAU (11) – JAVA D’ANAMA (7) – JOY DU CARNOIS (4)
C9 – PRIX DE BESANCON – 2700m (a1m1/2) – Class B – Harness – EUR € 52,000
LUMINEUSE DE BRION – Surprise 5th of 18 in a 2750m Class B at Les Sables-d’Olonne on 20 October. Shoes on again and is unlikely to ruffle any feathers this time
LOCHAN – Capricious colt making first appearance since being eliminated under the saddle last June, and has nothing to contribute
LADY DADA – 3 times a winner over course and distance last winter. Has 3 fresheners in her since the break, will be shod to preference, and with Eric Raffin in the bike this time cannot be ignored
LEONARDO VICI – Serious element with solid Vincennes form, but is in conditioning-mode this time and can be passed over
LAST MAN – Made up for course-and-distance elimination when successful in a Class B at Le Crosie-Laroche late last month. Benjamin Rochard in the bike again but is unlikely to confirm
LOUVE DE DAIDOU – Won over shorter here in September before coming 2nd in a competitive Class B under these conditions the following month. Takes on some better horses this time but still has the wherewithal to finish in the money
LUTIN VENESI – Honest type returning to the capital, not having been seen out since late-August. Boasts fine Vincennes references but with pads fitted is unlikely to spring any surprises
LOVER MAN – Serious colt with a brace of runs in him since the summer break. Goes well when barefoot and winning this is well within his capacity
LE BILLET VERT – Gr.2-placed colt that should be fit following a pair of re-entry races. Has nothing to prove under these conditions and will be expected to finish in the frame
LUTIN DE REUX – Won 2 of last 3, most recently a Beaumont-de-Lomagne Class B with consummate ease, and Alexandre Abrivard will be expecting to give LORD DELO (11) a run for his money
LORD DELO – Quality type that already boasts a Gr.3 to his name. Has had the benefit of 2 re-entry runs and, shod to preference, will take some beating
Summary: Ideally-entered close to the earnings threshold, LORD DELO (11) returns to Vincennes after having been given a 2nd conditioner in early-October, and difficult to fault in the day’s configuration, can expect to garner considerable support. Jean-Michel Bazire will still be mindful of the in-form LUTIN DE REUX (10) who will be barefoot as he was when victorious under these conditions in August. Runner-up in a Gr.3 over course and distance, LOVER MAN (8) will be similarly shoeless and represents a significant danger. LE BILLET VERT (9) has a brace of comeback runs under his belt and, if close to last spring’s form, will be no easy touch.

R3 CHANTILLY [R-H]

C1 – PRIX DE TROISSY – 1600m (a1m) – ALL WEATHER – Class 2 – Flat – EUR € 31,100

HOTTOT – Recent success on September 24th at Toulouse over 1600m in a maiden race. Looks progressive and capable of being involved
SORBETTO – 6th last time, 3rd before that over 1700m in a Class 2 race at Marseille Borely on September 27th. Has work to do
KHOVIKHOV – Two good runs, the latter when winning at Lyon Parilly over 1600m in maiden on October 7th. One to pay attention to
LA MARITZA – 5th last time, won before that over 1400m at La Teste in a conditions race on June 26th. Among the leading chances
MAINTAIN – Won by a narrow margin on debut at Parislongchamp in a race for unraced over 1800m on October 19th. Open to improvement, and the switch to PSF should not be too much of a concern. Live player
STUDEN KLADENETS – 6th on the one run over 1800m in a Listed race at Chantilly on October 27th. Likely to improve and has outside place claims
TOMOE GOZEN – 9th on the one run over 1600m at Chantilly on September 15th in a Class 2 race. She will need to show a lot more to make the frame
MIA L’HOMBRE – Unraced filly by James Garfield, the dam never raced. Likely to need this run for experience, and she faces some tough rivals
MIA SALLY – Placed on the last three starts, the latter when 2nd at Most (CZE) over 1600m on October 18th. This requires a good deal more
Summary: A narrow debut winner at Parislongchamp last month, MAINTAIN (5) looks a promising prospect and is expected to follow up with natural improvement. HOTTOT (1) rates the main danger after scoring on his second start in a Toulouse maiden in late September. KHOVIKHOV (3) has done little wrong in two outings and should be involved once again, while LA MARITZA (4) is another to keep onside and can make her presence felt.

C2 – PRIX DU BOIS DE LA TUILERIE – 1600m (a1m) – ALL WEATHER – Claiming – Flat – EUR € 22,100
WONDER BOY – Won on his last run over 1600m at Baden-Baden (DEU) on October 17th in a conditions race. Hard to recommend
AVENTINO – Unplaced last time, 2nd previously over 1600m in a handicap at Chantilly on September 30th. Among the leading contenders
ART MARKET – Ran well to win over 1600m at Fontainebleau in a claimer on October 17th. One of the leading players
SELENIEN – Ran well to be 5th at Chantilly on October 11th in a Class 1 race over 1400m on the PSF. Class 1 winner over 1400m at this track in March. Can play a leading role
RETIRO – Fair 3rd last time over 1500m at Tarbes on October 12th in a Class 2 race. One to pay close attention to
SUNRISE DREAM – Two unplaced runs since a win over 1400m at Vichy on July 19th in a claiming race. This will be a lot more challenging
SONADOOR – Four unplaced efforts of late, well beaten in a Listed race over 1400m at Parislongchamp on October 19th last time out. Hard to fancy
BIN ZARAK – Unplaced last time, 3rd previously over 1600m in a claimer on September 22nd over 1600m. Place contender
MARTA’S PRINCE – Three decent runs of late, 4th at Vichy on September 22nd in a claimer last time out. Hard to rule out of the top three
AKVAREL – Poor form recently, 6th in a claimer at Fontainebleau on October 17th over 1600m. Unlikely to trouble some of these
IFFROCTA FAL – Unplaced several times of late, the latter over 1600m in a claimer at Fontainebleau on October 17th. Has work to do to be involved
TWILIGHT DREAM – Five unplaced efforts so far, the most recent when well beaten at Mulheim (DEU) over 2000m on October 4th. One to avoid
ENYA – Well beaten on the one run over 1800m in a claiming race at Le Croise-Laroche on October 6th. Look elsewhere
HOLY WOODED – 6th on the most recent outing over 1600m in a claimer at Vichy on September 22nd. Hard to be enthusiastic about
Summary: SELENIEN (4) handles this surface well and is top-rated. He shaped well in a Class 1 race when fifth in early October, when last seen. Down in class, and he should be too smart for his rivals. RETIRO (5) could be the main danger. he was third at Tarbes in a Class 2 race in October and has won on the PSF at Pau before. AVENTINO (2) looks like a sensible choice for the each-way backers. ART MARKET (3) is another worth considering.

BILLION GOLD – 7th on the only run over 1500m at Saint-Cloud on October 9th. He will know a lot more this time, although others rate higher
SIRAT – 6th on his last two runs, the latter over 1600m in a Class 2 race at Parislongchamp on October 4th. Unlikely to trouble the principles
NADIR – Showed promise to be 5th over 1500m at Saint-Cloud on October 9th in a conditions race. Ought to be thereabouts
MIJAS – Improved efforts since a reasonable debut, 4th at Parislongchamp on his latest start over 1600m in a Class 2 race on October 4th. Can get off the mark
ASALET – Two unplaced efforts of late, 6th on the latter over 1600m in a Listed race at Hanovre(DEU) on September 21st. Look elsewhere

SAGANO – 6th on the one run over 1500m at Saint-Cloud on October 9th in a conditions race. Improvement expected, and he is one to keep safe
CONQUEST – Finished 8th on his one run so far over 1200m at Deauville on July 5th in a conditions race. Long absence to deal with, and he lacks experience
BATTLE DRUM – Placed 4th on both starts, the latter over 1400m in a maiden race at Chantilly on June 24th on turf. PSF debut, and he can play a lead role
BLANC CARAT – Placed 4th on each start, the most recent over 1600m in a maiden race at Saint-Cloud on October 16th. Outside place chance
HOUBLON – Fair effort when 5th at Chantilly on September 25th in a maiden race over 1600m last time out, and 2nd on debut in August at Parislongchamp. Player
JEU – Unraced gelding by Victor Ludorum, the dam never raced. Likely to need this run, and he is best watched for the time being
Summary: MIJAS (4) has shown improvement with each run and was a decent fourth in a Class 2 race at Parislongchamp in early October on his last start, with several previous winners behind him that day. He can score from BATTLE DRUM (9), who has been absent since a pleasing fourth on his second start at Chantilly on the turf in June. HOUBLON (11) has shown plenty of talent in two starts and can not be ignored. APOLIDE (6) makes up the shortlist after a decent debut run.

EMPIRIC – 5th at Deauville on his last start over 1500m in a Class 4 handicap on October 22nd. Not beaten far last time and is well drawn in 7
Summary: KAMETA (7) ran well to be fourth at Deauville on her latest start in late October over 1500m. The slight drop back in distance should not be a concern. She is the tentative choice ahead of EMPIRIC (16), who races from the foot of the weights and acquitted himself well to be fifth at Deauville 17 days ago. INTUITION (10) was two places ahead in third in the Deauville race and has to be respected. D DAY MAN (3) is also worth a mention.

FRAYA MAS – Filly on debut by Mehmas, the dam won 2 races. From a good stable that knows the time of day. The betting market is worth checking for clues
VILLA MONCEAU – Newcomer by Street Boss, the dam never ran. Half-sister to Xigera, who won a Grade 2 and Grade 3 race in the USA. Taking profile and a bold show likely
AISHITERU – Unraced filly by Study Of Man, the dam won over 2400m on debut. Well-bred and from a respected trainer who can ready a newcomer to strike on debut
MISS DIVA – Unraced by Toronado, the dam never raced. Stable runners tend to improve for a run or two, and she is best watched for the time being
Summary: AISHITERU (12) has a taking profile and is from a leading stable. She will be expected to make a winning debut despite a wide draw. He main rival could be ALMA MATER (2), who has shown promise in her three runs and is well drawn in stall 5. FRAYA MAS (10) has a nice pedigree and is worth watching in the betting market for any support. VILLA MONCEAU (11) is a half-sister to a Graded winner in the USA and could be useful.

Summary: VIBRATO (4) produced a solid effort when finishing fifth at Deauville on October 22nd in a Class 3 handicap and looks well treated to go one better this time. HERODION (12), runner-up over 1500m at Deauville on the same day in a Class 4 handicap, rates the main danger. HAPPY AGAIN (7) is one to include in all place bet calculations, while CEMBALLO (14), returning from a break since finishing third in June, remains lightly raced and could feature if fully fit.

Summary: With a favourable draw in stall 5, BOGOTA (10) has a good opportunity of getting off the mark. She has been second four times. Her last effort on the PSF at Pau late in October when beaten a length. Her main threat could be REMBRAND TO GO (2), who has shaped well to be fourth on both of his runs. ZODD (3) has the talent to take a race of this nature, and if in the mood, he can be dangerous. GRAND CHELEM (5) is also worth considering each-way.

Summary: SKYLIGHT BROCHARD (1) is a useful performer on the artificial surface and acquitted himself well when seventh in a Class 1 handicap on the turf in early October. He is the tentative selection ahead of PAINTELLO (7), who has stall 16 to contend with, but if ridden patiently, he has the talent to overcome that issue and play a leading role. STELLANIA (8) is handily drawn in 9 and looks like a good option each way. FIRE REBEL (16) gets in at the foot of the weights and can be involved.

WALLEM – Solid run in 3rd over 1900m at Chantilly in a Class 3 divided handicap on the 28th of April 2025. Can sneak into the minor positions
Summary: SOUS INFLUENCE (1) won full of running last time out and this apprentice appears to get a good tune out of him. He has a neat draw to deal with and should be a major contender. ALLURRE (2) wasn’t seen to best effect last time out and is best forgiven for that. Her prior form will inspire some confidence and she should be a threat. BRAVE SHIINA (10) ran a super race two starts back and with a repeat effort, he will be very competitive. TREASURE KEEPER (3) has posted two very creditable runs this year and he should well be cherry ripe for this assignment.

SKADOOSH – Hard effort finishing 5th in a Class 4 Handicap over 2150m at Lyon La Soie on the 24th of October 2025. Can feature in quartets
Summary: CEDRUS (3) delivered a winning performance in his last start in a Class 4 over the track and trip and rte way he scored that day suggests that he can follow up back in handicap. COGOLIN (6) must be respected after running a short second over the distance in his last attempt and looks to be the main danger to the top choice. SIR WALTER (9) may be inconsistent on form but if focused here, he stands a good place chance. SKADOOSH (12) is never far off the action and will look to be involved in the larger exotics.

Summary: WHITE SHAMROCK (5) claimed her first win in her second career start over the distance and her confidence could be on the rise where her ability can carry her through to claim victory again. ALOYSIUS (6) is a two time winner from six starts and brings Listed form into this contest. If the top choice fluffs her lines, he could take full advantage of that. BORNAWAY (4) comes into the race off a victory over the track and trip and looks to be a lively contender here. Supplemented LITTLE LADY (8) conquered her previous start and holds a firm quartet chance.

Summary: SPARKS OF LOVE (4) has had ten career starts and has the urge to break the maiden shackles off her hooves. She meets a smaller field where she could well deliver. MODELE ABSOLU (1) is another candidate that has been chained in the maiden ranks but could threaten the top choice as he looks ready to strike. SIMPLYTHEBEST (3) steps in a division where he can redeem his current start and must be one to consider. LIGHTIANA (7) is a filly who debuts here and could be anything in the making and is one to pencil in for future.

Summary: BLACK PANTHER (8) can be forgiven for her below par last effort as her penultimate start makes her a massive runner. If she repeats her penultimate effort, she could find herself in the winners box. Supplemented VENTURA VISION (2) looks well entered in this contest and brings admirable form. She has every chance to make a big splash here. SPACE QUAKE (10) has been finishing there and thereabout and on his last attempt when finishing fourth, he can earn here. SECRET FEELING (1) deserves serious consideration and completes the mix.
