French Selections Friday 20th

R1 VINCENNES [L-H]

C1 – PRIX DE SAINT-CALAIS – 2850m (a2m) – Class G Amateur Drivers – Harness – EUR € 12,000

JUSTINE DU MESNIL – Has returned to productive ways since starting to race at this level. In the frame in last 3 but in this company will have her work cut out
JULIANA SPIRIT – Returned to winning ways on 11 January when securing a 2700m Graignes Class F. Is in superior company this time however, and cannot be considered a contender
JUDIE DE TOUCHYVON – Useful mare that has made a name for herself in the amateur category. Is a tough nut to crack when barefoot and from the front row can give this a good go
IN THE SUMMERTIME – Close, but convincing, winner of a Mauquenchy amateurs Class G on 12 January before running 4th in a Bordeaux Class F earlier this month. Starts on front row again and has a realistic chance of making the frame this time
IT’S ME DIESCHOOT – Honest element with solid amateur references. Returns to France after imposing in Victoria Park a fortnight ago and looks good enough to pick up some prizemoney
JORGIO DE VANDEL – Has been a write-off for over 2.5 years and is not about to create an upset
ISIS D’ERAH – Won at Saint-Malo last summer but has made absolutely no impact since and is not about to begin now
JULES DES CHAMPS – Returns to the amateur division following a pair of respectable efforts in the pro ranks. Benefits from a fine entry on the front line but still represents no more than a minor place chance
INDUCTIF – Made up for a pair of eliminations when 2nd in a 2700m claimer here a month ago. Sports 4 pads again and, with application, is unlikely to disappoint. First 5
HORACE DU VIVIER – Solid in all 3 starts here last month. Has demonstrated a particular fondness for these conditions and despite the extra 25m to travel, still looks a major player
JEEP DES CHARRONS – Eliminated under these conditions during the autumn but has made amends more than once since and, in present shape, can contest the finish
JALNA GIRL – Takes to the inner course for the first time but has been showing her form since returning to racing barefoot, and even though incurring the handicap still looks the one to beat
GO FAST DE VAINS – Reassured at Cordemais in early-January but failed to confirm at Vire 2.5 weeks ago, and is unlikely to influence the outcome
HISTOIRE DE LIERRE – Previously a good sort, and has references at this level, but has been out of sorts for some time and will have few friends
Summary: JALNA GIRL (12) takes to the amateur division for the first time, clearly in excellent condition, and with a talented young driver reining, and a fresh configuration, can get straight down to business. Arthur Raffin will still be mindful of JEEP DES CHARRONS (11) who has been knocking at the door this winter, and HORACE DU VIVIER (10) who would have made the frame at Mauquenchy recently had he not lost his action. IN THE SUMMERTIME (4) kicked the year off successfully before pleasing in the professional ranks at Bordeaux earlier in the month, and with application and a 25m head-start will be no pushover.
SELECTIONS
JALNA GIRL (12) – JEEP DES CHARRONS (11) – HORACE DU VIVIER (10) – IN THE SUMMERTIME (4)
C2 – PRIX DE PLESTIN-LES-GREVES – 2100m (a1m1/4) – Class R Claiming – Harness – EUR € 18,000
NON STOP MESLOIS – Produced best Vincennes performance when 3rd in a Class C under these conditions on 17 December. In considerably less-exalted company this time and the engagement of Alexandre Abrivard speaks volumes. Chance
NATIF DU MANOLET – Unexceptional gelding returning to racing shod after flopping at Mauquenchy 2.5 weeks ago and has no possible chance
NINO TOSCA – Failed to make good on his promise before the turn of the year. Is well-drawn though and, in this category, looks a player
NEPITA – Has yet to deliver under these conditions but comes here fresh, sporting 4pads, and from the 4-spot should not be too far off the mark
NOGHERA COUNTESS – Unthreatening 4th in a 2050m Agen Class E last Saturday. Matthieu Abrivard in the bike this time and has every chance of picking up a minor place cheque
NEXT DANCE KALOUMA – Modest individual that has yet to show any flair for either code. Sports pads, with Gabriele Gelormini at the helm, but still not a concern
NITRO DEUGE – Eliminated on 1 February first time out, but ran courageous 5th in an Argentan Class F 5 days later. Is not about to set off any fireworks but can still play a small part
NOUMBA AS – Returns to the harness code after losing her action in a monte Class A here late last month and, with 4 pads fitted this time, should be competitive enough to make first 5
NITESCO DE SIMM – Not ideally-entered and has not been seen out since October, but is a serious colt that should still be able to wrap this up
NOTRE DE MEMARTIN – Modest element starting for first time since 22 November. Has little going for him here and can be disregarded
NORDWEST MONTVASON – Has not been seen out since being eliminated on debut in a Reims claimer in early-December and can be confidently passed over
Summary: Winner of 3 in a row last summer before being eliminated in his 4th start, NITESCO DE SIMM (9) may not have been seen out since but will not need to be at peak fitness to win a race of this nature. That being said, NON STOP MESLOIS (1) produced a good performance under these conditions before his break and, padded with Alexandre Abrivard in the bike, looks the principal danger. Similarly sporting pads for the first time, NEPITA (4) is better-positioned behind the car and Franck Ouvrie can be quietly confident. NINO TOSCA (3) takes a notable dip in category and the draw will only work to his advantage.
SELECTIONS
NITESCO DE SIMM (9) – NON STOP MESLOIS (1) – NEPITA (4) – NINO TOSCA (3)
C3 – PRIX DE PONT-L’EVEQUE – 2100m (a1m1/4) – Class D – Harness – EUR € 40,000
LAY UP – Not the most convincing in a 2700m Class D here 2.5 weeks ago, but presents solid course-and-distance credentials, and if applied can make first 5
LORD FROMENTRO – Tricky sort but has talent in spades. Sports 4 pads as he did when imposing under these conditions last March, but would still be preferred barefoot
LE TOUQUET – Talented but capricious sort that has won 3 of 5 barefoot starts. Will be fully-fit by now and with stride in check can make a big impact
LADY PRINCESS – Respectable mare making first appearance since being eliminated here on 13 December and is going to need the run
LADY DES ARRIS – Undeniably useful but has struggled over recent weeks. Is well-placed though, with Yoann Lebourgeois reining, and is not incapable of playing a small part
LAKOS DE BERLES – Serious type that made up for December elimination when unlucky 2nd in a Class D over track and trip on 25 January. Is well in on the front line and can bring the fight to LETIKALIN (7)
LETIKALIN – Twice showed a more serious side to himself in December. Has a conditioner under his belt and, shod to preference this time, is very easy to like for the win
LYNX DU SAPTEL – Honest trotter that has never failed to fire when barefoot. 5th in 25 January race of reference before running 4th at Cagnes and, sporting a new configuration, is worth keeping an eye on
LACIENDA FLASH – Back under harness after running 3rd in a monte Class D here earlier in the month and, with Anthony Barrier reining, can defy the draw and finish in the money
LA LUNA STAR – Unremarkable mare that has endured an interrupted career. Is barefoot for Vincennes bow but still looks out of her depth
LOVE D’AUTHISE – Trotter with better references in the other discipline and has nothing to offer on seasonal comeback
LILYROSE WIND – Has just the one race in her since the returning from her break. Is one of the weaker links in this field and can be ruled out
LOVINA PERRINE – Moderate mare that has looked rather ordinary over recent months. Handed a tough draw and is not an obvious choice
L’AMOUR D’ETANG – Has hardly put a foot out of line this winter, most recently close 3rd behind LAKOS DE BERLES (6) here on 25 January. Is not ideally-drawn but with David Thomain in the bike will be afforded every chance. Place prospect
Summary: A talented trotter that ended 2025 on a high note, LETIKALIN (7) will be shod as he was when imposing over course and distance that day, and from the front row will be expected to confirm. He will still come under pressure from LAKOS DE BERLES (6) who ran 2nd here late last month despite suffering traffic problems, and the less favourably-drawn L’AMOUR D’ETANG (14) who finished just behind him that day. LE TOUQUET (3), on the other hand, has been handed an excellent number and will have his chances if Theo Duvaldestin keeps him trotting.

C4 – PRIX PATRICK MOTTIER – 2700m (a1m1/2) – Class C Amateur Riders – Mounted – EUR € 61,000
HOUARNEAU – Disqualified twice in a row, the latest at this track om 1 February. Not easy to trust and others are preferred
HERMES EXPRESS – Modest form of late and finished 6th in a Class C mounted race over this course and distance on 25 January. More is needed to beat these rivals
HELLO JADE RUSH – Not reliable but was fourth in a Class C mounted race over this course and distance on 25 January. Might earn some more minor money
HOLD UP DES VENTES – Only modest of late and was 7th in a Class D harness race at this track over 2850m on 8 February. Should do a lot better under the saddle and is not out of it
IKURO JIEL – Unreliable but was victorious in a Class C mounted race over this track and trip on 25 January. Can follow up
GLADIATOR BOY – Has improved of late and finished third in a Class C mounted race over this course and distance on 25 January. Has a place chance
JOUR DE FETE – Not reliable but did bounce back to form with a victory in a Class C mounted race at this course over 2175m on 18 January. Just as good this distance and can double up
INDICE DELADOU – Returned to form and was runner-up in a Class C mounted race over this track and trip on 25 January. Can go one place better
HADDOCK DU CLOS – Knocking hard at the door and was runner-up in a Class C mounted race at this course over 2175m on 18 January. Can be competitive again
GUAPO MARBOULA – Off form and finished 11th in a Class B mounted race over this course and distance on 3 December. Returns from a break and others are preferred
IGO CLEA – Not disgraced when 5th in a Class C mounted race over this course and distance on 25 January. Might play a minor role at very best
IMPERIAL COGLAIS – Disqualified last time out at this track over 2175m on 15 February. Not easy to trust but could earn some money
FLASH DU BIWETZ – Battling to find best form and finished 11th in a Class B mounted race at this track over 2850m on 14 January. Needs to find a few lengths to score
HISTOIRE PHILS – Unreliable but was victorious last time out in a Class C harness race at this course over 2850m on 17 December. Could need this run returning from a short break
IMAGINE D’ATOUT – Has struggled a bit of late and was 6th in a Class B mounted race at this track over 2850m on 17 December. Might needs to do more to beat score
Summary: A very open-looking race. JOUR DE FETE (7) bounced back with a good win at this track and is capable of doubling up, but he is not one to rely on. The same can also be said of rival IKURO JIEL (5), who beat many of these last month over this course and distance. HOLD UP DES VENTES (4) will like it back in a mounted race and should be a threat. INDICE DELADOU (8) only found one better on the day last time out and is a possible winner.

LA MITIDJA – Showed improvement when barefoot and runner-up in Class D at this track over 2700m on 10 February. Races without shoes and could make the frame
LEA D’ATOUT – Not reliable and was tenth in Class C at this track over 2100m on 5 February. Did win when barefoot before that and races without shoes. Can upset
LYANA D’ARC – Only modest of late and finished 8th in Class D at this track over 2700m on 24 January. Has a place chance in this line-up
LITTLETON LANDING – Returned to form with a Class D win over this course and distance on 19 January. Remains barefoot and can double up
LOUNA DU LOCHEUR – In good form and was barefoot and runner-up in Class D at this course over 2100m on 13 January. Should be right there at the finish
LA VISTA HAUFOR – Remains in good shape and finished third in Class D at this course over 2700m on 24 January. Can be competitive once again
LAURELINA – Yet to win a race and finished tenth in Class E at Maure-de-Bretagne over 2850m on 8 February. Needs major improvement to win
LOU DU DONJON – A winner of her last two starts, the latest in Class D at this track over 2100m on 25 January. Just as good this distance and can complete the hat-trick
LIBERTY PAT – Not reliable and finished 8th in Class C at this course over 2100m on 5 February. Needs to do more to score
LILY MARGOT – Disqualified in her last two starts, the latest in Class C at this track over 2700m on 31 December. Others make more appeal
LOLA DU CAMPUS – Unreliable and was 5th in Class C at this track over 2100m on 5 February. Not easy to trust and others make more appeal

C6 – PRIX DE L’AUTHIE – 2700m (a1m1/2) – Class B – Harness – EUR € 52,000
MICHEL MARTIN – Not disgraced when third in Class D at this course over 2100m on 6 February. Barefoot this time and has a place chance
MILAN DU BOSQUET – Bounced back to best when a barefoot winner in class D over this course and distance on 31 January. Not easy trust but remains barefoot and can follow up
MANNINEN SEVEN – Unreliable and was disqualified in Class B at this course over 2175m on 15 February. In good form before that and can be a threat if smart
MOURILLON – Disqualified twice in his last three starts, including last time out when barefoot at this track. Remains without shoes and can challenge for top honours
MARQUIS DU CHENE – Remains in good shape and was fourth in Class C at this track over 2175m on 8 February. Can get involved with the finish again
MILLE SABORDS DIVO – Did not show his best when 7th in Class C at this track over 2175m on 8 February. Capable of making the frame
MACINAGGIO – Needed his last run when 8th in a Class C harness race at this track over 2175m on 8 February. Fitter this time and could bounce back to score
MALABAR MAGO – In good form and was third in Class C at this track over 2175m on 8 February. Can be competitive once again
MEYOU DU CAMPUS – Did not show his best when 9th in Class B at this course over 2100m on 18 January. Better this distance and is capable of an upset
Summary: It is hard to rule any of them out from winning this race. MACINAGGIO (7) clearly needed his comeback run and is highly regarded, so can score this time. MOURILLON (4) does have disqualification issues but races without shoes again and did win his penultimate start when barefoot. MARQUIS DU CHENE (5) is in good form and quite capable of scoring. MALABAR MAGO (8) is threatening a winning turn and must be respected for that.

KENYAN BLUES – In good form and finished third in a Class F mounted race at Angers over 3125m on 28 January. Tougher task in this line-up
KIKI AND CO – Disqualified four times in a row, the latest at this track over 2175m on 1 February. Hard to trust but is capable of scoring
KELLY JANE – Holding form and finished fourth in a Class E harness race over this course and distance on 3 February. Tries a mounted race and is not out of it
KATCHINA FOR CLARA – Showed some improvement when third in a Class A mounted race at this track over 2175m on 1 February. Can be competitive once again
LYZIA DES AGETS – Disqualified last time out over this course and distance on 13 February. Consistent before that and can make the frame
LOTUS ZEN – In good shape and was runner-up in a Class A mounted race at this track over 2175m on 1 February. Can go one place better
KENTUCKY IDEAL – Disqualified last time out at this course over 2175m on 7 January. Capable of an upset onhis best form
LASKO DES BROUSSES – Fluffed his lines with a disqualification at this track over 2175m on 1 February. Very consistent before that and has claims at scoring
LAKANA DE FELLIERE – Not disgraced when 5th in a Group 2 mounted race over this course and distance on 13 February. Big chance in this line-up
Summary: A very interesting race. LAKANA DE FELLIERE (11) was not disgraced in a Group race over this track and trip just last week. She should make a bold bid at beating these rivals. KIKI AND CO (4) has a string of disqualifications behind him but can be a threat if he stays on the trot this time around. KELLY JANE (5) has some good form and can be a lively danger trying a mounted race. LASKO DES BROUSSES (10) is usually very consistent and perhaps his last-start disqualification is best ignored.

C8 – PRIX DE SAINT-PIERRE LA COUR – 2100m (a1m1/4) – Class E – Harness – EUR € 49,000
IVARUN – Eliminated in 2 of last 3 but is clearly in fine condition. Eric Raffin back in the bike and, if he keeps his charge focused, could trot his way into the frame
IMPACT SPORT – No slouch on a good day but has placed just once in 4 Vincennes appearances and even though well-placed in front, still looks an outsider
HUGH DE BANVILLE – Gives a good account for the most part and has been acquitting himself respectably, but has no references under these conditions and will have nothing to offer
IMAKO VERDERIE – Won at Mauquenchy, then courageously confirmed over 2175m here in late-December. Was beaten into 4th at Nantes by JAZZ DE PADD (9), but with 4 pads fitted and Mathieu Mottier reining this time, must be taken more seriously
JINA FOUTEAU – Hardy mare that seldom disappoints under these conditions. Goes barefoot following her Saint-Brieuc conditioner and from the 5-spot can get in on the action
ICARE DUNGY – Has been a model of consistency in the south this winter, latterly 3rd in a Marseille-Vivaux Class F on 13 January. Franck Nivard at the helm this time and has a reasonable chance of getting a look in
HOLLY GREEN – Sprang a 78-1 surprise when victorious in a 2150m Mauquenchy Class F earlier in the month. Is unlikely to repeat but will generate more interest at least
JOKER D’OLAINE – One of the younger horses here and showed his form at Mauquenchy 2.5 weeks ago. Starts wide on front line and with Yoann Lebourgeois reining is unlikely to be far off the mark
JAZZ DE PADD – Won a 3000m Nantes Class D mid-January prior to running 3rd to a pair of 6yo’s 9 days later. Is useful under these conditions, enjoys a terrific entry, and with his trainer back in the bike can impose
JOPLIN DES CROUAS – Won under these conditions early last season but has done little of note at Vincennes since and cannot be considered a priority
HEOLA DU PILET – Unexceptional mare that has done little of note for some time and is not about to change her ways
JUMBY BAY – Ran 4th behind JAZZ D’OURVILLE (13) in a 2700m Class E here 9 days ago. Boasts excellent references under these conditions and, despite a tough draw, and with shoes fitted, still looks competitively well in
JAZZ D’OURVILLE – Produced at 16-1 surprise when 2nd to a very good horse in a 2700m Class E here on 11 February. Will have been kept on the boil and looks main threat to stable companion JAZZ DE PADD (9)
JOB DU PERSIL – Made modest return to competition when 7th to HOLLY GREEN (7) at Mauquenchy 2.5 weeks ago. Would be preferred on a more even track and can be passed over
Summary: Very hard to fault at Vincennes when barefoot, JAZZ DE PADD (9) returns to the capital after a pair of fine runs at Nantes last month. He has only his elders to contend with this time and, despite a wide draw, is still easy to like for the win. Matthieu Abrivard will nevertheless be keeping a watchful eye on 2nd row starter, and stablemate, JAZZ D’OURVILLE (13) who showed a different side to himself here last week, and the better-positioned IMAKO VERDERIE (4) who won a Class D in this configuration on 29 December. Eliminated in 2 of his last 3, IVARUN (1) will be reunited with Eric Raffin for the occasion and returns to racing left-handed with a lot to contribute. JUMBY BAY (12) races shod this time but is plainly in fine shape and has a particular liking for 2100m of the main track.

C1 – PRIX DE MADIRAN – 2000m (a1m1/4) – ALL WEATHER – Class 2 – Flat – EUR € 20,100

TEXAS WOOD – Two wins of late over track and trip, the latter on December 4th in a Class 2 race by 0.75L. Improving and likes this track and can get another success
MAGDA – Placed 3rd last time out over this track and trip in a Class 2 race on January 13th when not beaten far. Others seem more likely to score
NEW RUN – Won on debut over this track and trip in a conditions race on January 30th in a newcomer’s race. Open to improvement and can not be ignored
MADRIDISTA – Placed 3rd last time over the track and trip in a Class 2 race on December 4th behind TEXAS WOOD (1). Live chance
CARCAGNY – Unplaced last time, a win before that over 2000m at this track in a maiden race on November 13th. Ought to be thereabouts
Summary: TEXAS WOOD (1) has won his last two races over this course and distance. The most recent a Class 2 race in early December with a game success by three-quaters of a length. He has strong claims of getting the hat-trick at the expense of MADRIDISTA (4), who was around a length behind in third in the Class 2 race last time, and can make life tough for his old rival on better weight terms today. CARCAGNY (5) can also be involved at the finish and looks best of the rest.

THE TOP GATSBY – Ran well to be 2nd over the track and trip in a Class 3 race on January 20th. One to pay attention to on a track she has won at before
DSCHINGIS DREAM – Two unplaced runs since a 4th over 1800m at Madrid (ESP) on October 26th in a conditions race. Place contender
WALLY – Solid performer who was 2nd over 1600m in a Class 3 race at this track on January 11th last time out. Course winner over 1600m in 2023. Key chance

SEVEN FOR ALL – Two unplaced runs so far, the latter over 1900m at Deauville in a maiden race on December 17th. Has work to do to be involved
WIGMORE STREET – Finished 5th over the track and trip in a Class 3 race on January 20th. Capable of making his presence felt
MUGUETAJARRA – Two 6th place efforts this year, the latter over 1900m in a conditions race at Seville (ESP) on January 25th. Others preferred
ALHENA – Won on her sole start over 2400m at Toulouse in a maiden race on November 16th. Open to progress and can make the frame
PRESA DIRETTA – Three unplaced runs since a win over 1900m in a Class 2 handicap at Chantilly on April 28th. Unlikely to be a threat
Summary: WALLY (4) is a solid performer who is a previous course winner back in 2023. He ran well when second over 1600m at this track in a Class 3 race in early January when last appearing and can win again. WIGMORE STREET (7) could be the one that makes the selection work for success. He has Listed placed form in Ireland and was fifth over track and trip last time. THE TOP GATSBY (2) has solid each-way credentials. She has won over the track and trip before. SENORITO (5) heads the rest.

TOUT SCHUSS – Two unplaced effort this year, the most recent over 1600m at Pau in a Class 3 handicap on January 28th. Look elsewhere
HURLEVENT – Finished 6th over this track over 2000m in a Class 4 race last time, down in trip today and he has won over 1200m before. Outside place chance
GARRIS – Unplaced several time recently, the latter over 1300m in a Class 3 handicap at Deauville on January 22nd. Place contender
CLOSE COMBAT – Unplaced last time, 4th before that over 1200m at Toulouse on November 30th in a Class 4 handicap. Opposable
ELUFAN – Placed 3rd last time out over 1200m in a Class 3 handicap at this track on January 30th. Capable of having a say in proceedings
BOEZA – Several unplaced runs of late, the most recent over 1600m at this track in a handicap on December 28th. Ought to be thereabouts
DIMANCHE SOIR – Unplaced on the last four runs, well beaten over 2000m at this track in a Class 4 race on January 23rd. Makes limited appeal
FRUITION – Placed 4th last time out over 1400m at this track in a Class 4 handicap on January 18th. Each way angle
BOMBE LA VIE – Finished 5th last time over 1200m at Toulouse in a handicap on November 16th. Unlikely to be involved
EYWA – Three unplaced runs this year, the latter over 1600m at Chantilly in a Class 3 handicap on February 5th. Can be competitive if back on track
FANLINE – Five unplaced runs, poor effort over 1700m at Pornichet in a Class 4 race on January 19th. Look for an alternative
Summary: CHAPEL HILL (1) has been placed on both starts this year and looks ready to strike again after a pleasing second at Pornichet earlier this month. ELUFAN (6)ran a nice race when third in a Class 3 handicap at this track late last month and can make the selection work for success. EYWA (11) is better than recent form figures and can be on the premises if back on track. FRUITION (9) makes up the shortlist.

YACHT SHOW – Fair 4th last time over 1600m at Cagnes-Sur-Mer in a Class 3 handicap on February 1st. Ought to be in the shake-up
MODERN SPIRIT – Good effort to be 2nd last time over 1600m at Chantilly on February 5th in a Class 3 handicap. Leading chance of scoring
BURNING HEART – Unplaced last time, 2nd before that over 2400m at this track in a Class 3 handicap on January 20th. Merits consideration
VARENNE – Two unplaced efforts this year, 10th over 1600m in a Class 3 handicap at this track on January 28th. Look elsewhere
Summary: MODERN SPIRIT (9) has a good racing weight and was a pleasing second in a Class 3 handicap at Chantilly earlier this month over 1900m. He is given the nod over RAKHIM (2), who arrives after a decent fourth at Cagnes-Sur-Mer at the start of this month over 1600m. YACHT SHOW (8) could be one for the each way backers to look at after a fourth last time out. OLYA (3) is also worth considering.

ROSENINSEL – Ran well to be 3rd on her only start over 1500m at Cagnes-Sur-Mer in January 12th in a conditions race. Open to progress and warrants respect
DAMIETTA – Decent 3rd on debut over 2000m at Cagnes-Sur-Mer on January 15th in a conditions race. Open to improvement and can feature
MAYBE – Showed signs of talent when 6th on her sole start over 2000m at this track in a conditions race on January 30th. Others preferred
MISSWAKI’JAC – Unraced filly by Zaskar, the dam won 1 race. Nice profile and from a respected stable. The betting can be the best guide to her chances

AUSSIE TEMPER CEN – Unraced filly by Australia, the dam never ran. From a good stable that can ready one to strike on debut. Bold run expected
Summary: AUSSIE TEMPER CEN (12) has a taking profile and is from a trainer that does well with newcomers. She can make a winning start and is marginally preferred ahead of DAMIETTA (7), who ran well to be third on debut at Cagnes-Sur-Mer in mid-January and can improve for that run. ROSENINSEL (6) caught the eye on debut when third over 1500m on January 12th and can be on the premises. FAITH IN YOU (10) is another that can have a say in proceedings.

DURO – Unraced colt by Wooded, the dam won 2 races. From a respected trainer who can ready one to go well on debut. The betting can be the most informative guide
PELIGROSO – Unraced gelding by Zarak, the dam never raced. Looks good on paper and he will be well prepared by his astute trainer
KARANDASH – Newcomer by Persian King, the dam won 2 races. Some good aspects to his profile and he should be well tuned by shrewd connections
YO SOY – Unraced gelding by Almanzor, the dam was placed on her sole start. Stable runners warrants respect on debut and the betting can be the best guide
BEL ORIFLAMME – Unraced gelding by Gutaifan, the dam won 2 races. Likely to need this outing unless the betting patterns suggest otherwise
Summary: SAGAZAN ACE (3) ran with promise when fifth at Cagnes-Sur-Mer in mid-January in a conditions race and will improve a good deal from that outing. He can score from the more experienced PLUTARQUE (1), who has been placed on all four starts and has the talent to win a maiden. PELIGROSO (10) has a taking pedigree and can have a say in proceedings on his racecourse debut. KARANDASH (11) is also making his debut and is one to consider if the betting vibes are lively.

Summary: AMARENA DODVILLE (3) could be the answer to this tricky handicap. She was a good second in a Class 4 handicap when last seen at this track in mid-January. DSCHINGIS HEIGHTS (1) can be competitive and could be the main threat to the selection despite having to concede weight to all his rivals. MANLY (4) is one to include in all of the place bet permutations. NANTMOR (5) ran well two runs back when second over the track and trip in late December and can not be overlooked each-way.

C1 – PRIX DE LA ROUTE DES SANGLIERS – 1600m (a1m) – ALL WEATHER – Class 4 Divided Handicap – Flat – EUR € 17,300

KHAMALGANE – Looked mediocre when 9th in a Handicap over 1600m at Pau on 28 January. Will need to do more to be a factor in this
GIN GEMBRE – A decent 5th in a Handicap over 1400m at Deauville on 7 February. Finished a close 3rd over this track and trip three runs back from a wide draw. Drawn No 6 this time and has improved in blinkers
PARISIAN BELLE – A promising 4th in a Handicap over this course and distance on 27 December. She showed a return to form last time and any further improvement would make her a threat in this field
ZOUBAREVA – Ran well when 4th in a Handicap over 1900m at this course on 31 January. Coming back to form and she did have some good runs over this distance earlier in her career
BLACK PANTHER – Disappointed when 11th in a Handicap over 1400m at Deauville on 7 February. However, she ran 3rd over this course and distance on 27 December and had both PARISIAN BELLE (3) and ZANTARIO (6) behind her
ZANTARIO – Finished 6th in a Handicap over 1400m at Deauville on 7 February. He was just behind GIN GEMBRE (2) in that race and that makes him a possible contender in this
RIVER DAVEN – Finished 6th in a Handicap over 2500m at Deauville on 6 February. Drops in distance which is a concern but there is no doubting her ability
ALPENGEIST – A poor 14th in Handicap over 1900m at this course on 31 January. Recent form has been mediocre and he is unlikely to trouble this field
SHOWBOATED – Finisihed 14th in a Handicap over 1800m at Croise-Laroche on 6 October. Has been off form for some time now and cannot be relied on
RED CRAZY – Never in it when 11th in a Handicap over 1900m at this track on 31 January. Might benefit from the drop in distance but has his work cut out
NOUR AYA – Pulled up in a Hurdle Claimer over 4000m at Cagnes-Sur-Mer on 11 December. Will prefer racing on the Flat again and has placed over 1600m but will need to up her game
Summary: GIN GEMBRE (2) has not won a race since 2023 but is currently showing some decent form and finished an excellent 3rd over this course and distance from a wide draw in December. He looks a reliable runner. RIVER DAVEN (7) has ability but she has been competing over a lot further and is unproven over this distance. ZOUBAREVA (4) can be competitive with blinkers on while BLACK PANTHER (5) can challenge off a lowered rating.

ANTICO – A close-up 3rd in a Handicap over 1900m at this course on 13 February. Although held by PROLETARIAT (3) on an earlier run, he will race in blinkers this time
LOUVE PRECIEUSE – A solid 4th in a Handicap over 1400m at Deauville on 7 February. That was an improved performance and that could bring her into contention
PROLETARIAT – A reasonable 7th in a Handicap over 1400m at Deauville on 7 February. Although well beaten, he did run a solid 2nd over this course and distance in his previous start and had ANTICO (1) and LOUVE PRECIEUSE (2) quite a way behind him. The one to beat
GOLDEN TRIP – Ended up 15th in a Handicap over 1600m at Clairefontaine on 11 July. Did win over track and trip last April but is likely to need this outing
WEEKEND WARRIOR – A poor 13th in a Handicap over 1900m at this track on 13 February. Well held by others based on his 21 January run over this course and distance although he did go off as a 4-1 favourite
MOONWALKER – Finished 10th in a Handicap over 1900m at this track on 31 January. Ran better in his penultimate over this course and distance and could place if things go his way
RUBIS GOLD – A narrowly beaten 2nd in a Handicap over this course and distance on 21 January. He had to overcome a wide draw on that occasion and from the No 5 barrier should run well again
HIGHFIELD HEIRESS – Disappointed when 12th in a Handicap over 1400m at Nancy on 30 November. Does not have proven form on the all-weather but does run well when fresh and needs to be taken seriously
ZYGFRYD – Did well when 4th in a Handicap over 1900m at this course on 13 February. He is probably better over further but should still be competitive
PEYTON PLACE – A moderate 12th in a Handicap over 1700m at Pornichet on 5 February. Is held by others on her penultimate run over this track and trip on 21 January but could place
MADRAS – Finished 8th in a Handicap over 1700m at Pornichet on 5 February. Little to recommend him on recent form
Summary: On paper this race looks at the mercy of PROLETARIAT (3). He had no luck in his last start at Deauville but based on his penultimate when runner-up over this course and distance he holds a number of others in this line-up. Fitted with blinkers, ANTICO (1) will be looking to turnaround his last defeat by the selection as will LOUVE PRECIEUSE (2) who showed progress last time. RUBIS GOLD (7) comes off a good race over track and trip and off a better draw could be a danger.

ZAHARA – A promising 7th in a Conditions race over 1600m at this track on 11 December. Should come on from that run, especially with Christophe Soumillon in the irons
AMELIA – Finished 10th in a Maiden over at 1300m Deauville on 28 November. Has had many opportunities and is likely to be outclassed in this field
GOLDNIGHT – A mediocre 6th in a Maiden over 1300m at Deauville on 8 January. Both of her races so far have been average and she could find this opposition too tough
HOLLIE WOOD – A close-up 3rd in a Maiden over 1300m at Deauville on 28 November. Has had many chances and comes back from break

FLOWER CELEBRATION – Finished 6th in a Maiden over 1400m at Strasbourg on 14 September. Comes back from a layoff and tries the all-weather for the first time
LA PRIMA – Well beaten when 8th in a Conditions race over 1500m at Saint-Cloud on 19 November. Moderate debut and will need to improve
INFRAROUGE – A solid 5th in a Maiden over 1300m at Deauville on 29 January. Finished close up to some of her opposition in this field on debut and with further progress could be a threat
LADY SHAMROCK – Unraced 3yo filly by Supremacy out of Oasis Dream mare Rocking trained by Alessandro Botti. Half-sister to Boston Rocker who finished 2nd in a Gr3 race at Leopardstown in Ireland in 2013
Summary: VADIROUMA (1) has placed in all three of her starts, and coming back in trip could just be what is needed to hand her a first victory. MELUSINE DU HOULEY (8) has only found one too good in her last two runs over this distance and has a great opportunity to go one better. ZAHARA (4) did not embarrass herself on debut and with strong assistance from the saddle must be respected. REVE SUR LE NIL (2) ran on strongly last time and should prove competitive.

TANQUES – An encouraging 4th in a Maiden over 1300m at Deauville on 2 November. AEDION (10) was just ahead of him so that augurs well for this run
EQUULEUS – A well-beaten 2nd on debut over 1600m at Pau on 11 January. Does face stronger but he could still be progressive
ROI TREZY – Won a Claimer over 1300m at Deauville on 6 February. Has now won 2 claimers in a row so his confidence will be good but he will need to up his game to be competitive
VANVITELLI – An excellent 2nd in a Conditions race over 1500m at Deauville on 22 January. Finished strongly and looks ready to win
DEVIL’STORY – A close up 3rd in a Maiden over 1300m at Deauville on 28 November. Had both HOWITZER (1) and AEDION (10) behind him so he needs to be taken seriously
PARVAGE – Finished 15th in a Maiden over 1600m at this course on 5 February. His first race was promising and hopefully he can build on that run
CHARLESTON DANCER – A poor 14th in a Maiden over 1600m at this track on 5 February. Will need to find more to be competitive but drop in trip might suit
STEEL DRUM – A moderate 7th in a Maiden over 1700m at Pornichet on 5 February. That was his debut in France after having raced in the UK. Might do better over this trip
AEDION – A disappointing 9th over 1300m at Deauville on 28 November. His firs three races were encouraging before his last failure. But he has since been gelded and that could evoke improvement
AFFAIRISTE – Unraced 3yo colt by Expert Eye out of Doctor Dino mare Affaire De Coeur trained by Sebastien Parades. Mare’s first foal to race
Summary: VANVITELLI (5) gave the impression on debut he has more to offer when putting in a poweful finish, almost getting up to win. With natural progression he should do well again. After a promising start to his career followed by a poor run, AEDION (10) was gelded and he could make marked improvement. TANQUES (2) improved significantly from his debut to his 2nd run and should be even better this time. DEVIL’STORY (6) has some strong form and another good run is expected.

MARLON SUN – Unraced gelding by Toronado, the dam won 2 races. Should improve from this run and is best watched for the future
CARADO DES PINS – Unraced gelding by Dabrisim, the dam was placed a few times. Stable runners warrant respect on debut and he is one to watch in the betting for clues

HAVE A NICE DAY – Unraced filly by Mr.Owen, the dam never ran. Stable runners tend to need a run or two for experience and she is best watched this time
Summary: GRAND CHELEM (4) has consistent placed form last year and was a decent third in a competitive maiden race at Deauville in December. He can get the better of VIENTO DE LEVANTE (6), who also has lots of experience with several placed runs. RINASCERO (1) has been placed on the last two starts and has to be considered each-way. A NOS AMOURS (7) has had a couple of runs and more can be expected this time.

Summary: Although he is still seeking his first success, SUN PROJECT (8) ran a solid race when third in a competitive Class 3 handicap at Chantilly late last month and is given the edge over AMOUAGE (1), who won the same race on January 21st. The penalty might sway the balance in the former’s favour. MAGIC STARS (3) ran well when third last time out in late October and can be involved if fit from a layoff.

MASTER PAT – Two placed runs this year, 2nd over 1700m at Pornichet in a Class 4 handicap on the latest 15 days ago. Others make more appeal
KIEVSKY – Unplaced last time, 3rd before that over 1900m at Deauville in a Class 3 handicap on January 23rd. Might need a few to falter
OPIANA – Recent success over 1500m at Deauville in a Class 4 race on January 23rd. Capable of making the top-four

PUMALIN PARK (1) won recently over the track and trip in early December in this class of handicap and can make things interesting. SPRING HEART (3) beat the main selection into second last time in January and warrants respect despite a rise in the handicap. LEOPARDUCCIO (2) completes the shortlist.

MATAURI QUEEN (1) got off the mark at Pornichet in a handicap 15 days ago and is hard to ignore. RED SCOTCH (9) looks best of the rest.
