R1 MARSEILLE-BORELY [L-H]

C1 – GRAND NATIONAL DU TROT – 3000m (a2m) – Gr3 – Harness – EUR € 90,000

  1. JAGUAR DU FAN – Oddly disappointing in a 2150m Cagnes Class D early this month. Won a Gr.3 at Châtelaillon-La Rochelle last November but faces a stiffer test on this occasion
  2. KROONER D’HERIPRE – Kicked the year off with a hat-trick. Would have made it 4 on the trot had he not faulted 50m out and Romain Derieux will be eager to put things right
  3. HAJIME – Hardy servant that was surprisingly eliminated in a Cagnes Class B in late-February. Boasts excellent Borely references and from the front row can give this a good go
  4. GERSHWIN DE CHENU – Starts for first time since running 6th in a Cagnes Class C on 20 February. Is barefoot again but looks out of his depth
  5. JENTIL DIESCHOOT – Obtained his 2nd win of the year with a commanding Amiens Gr.3 victory 3 weeks ago. Is well-in once again and Alexandre Abrivard maintains faith. Attention
  6. ISEULT FLOWER – Honest mare that reassured in a Cagnes Class B a month back. Won her only start at the venue but is taking on too much this time
  7. JE TE CHERCHE – Superb campaigner that has not once finished out of first 2 when barefoot. Encouraged on re-entry, and with shoes off can make this his own
  8. HELIOS D’ELA – Has not been seen out since running 4th in a Vincennes Class C 2 months ago, at 50-1. A repeat seems unlikely
  9. JOLIVERT DU GERS – Serious campaigner that seldom disappoints at this level. Impressed at Cagnes earlier in the month and will be no shrinking violet
  10. INGRID TURGOT – Capable on a good day but has not been seen out since September and will need the race
  11. GREZ – Reassuring 4th in a Cagnes monte Class C 2.5 weeks ago. Here for a change of scenery and will have other ambitions
  12. KAPTAIN DU LIAMONE – Acquits himself well for the most part and most recently ran 4th to JENTIL DIESCHOOT (5) in the Amiens GNT stage 3 weeks ago. Is unlikely to get his nose in front but can nonetheless make first 5
  13. JAG STRYCK – Showed considerable improvement at Vincennes late-February despite being eliminated. Prepped at Laval, will be barefoot this time, and with application can pick up some prizemoney
  14. GRAND TRIO LUDOIS – Not as sharp as he was last summer but encouraged at Cagnes earlier in the month and, while not a priority, is still worth keeping an eye on
  15. IALTO D’HERTALS – Has done nothing but impress since last October. Has been entrusted to a good pair of hands and is unlikely to disappoint. Place chance
  16. HORCHESTRO – Capricious but talented element starting alone on 3rd row. Is in conditioning mode and best to hold off
    Summary: Barefoot for his first objective of the spring after having given a fine account on his return to competition, JE TE CHERCHE (7) will start on the front row and has every chance of making his Borely debut a triumphant one. Theo Duvaldestin will still be legitimately wary of the tricky but classy KROONER D’HERIPRE (2) who is unbeaten in the day’s configuration, and the well-entered IALTO D’HERTALS (15) who has not put a foot wrong since the autumn. Dominant winner of the Amiens stage, JENTIL DIESCHOOT (5) makes his Borely bow with a good hand to play. JOLIVERT DU GERS (9) ran away with a Cagnes Class D last time out, is just pennies from being eliminated, and Matthieu Abrivard would not run him here if he didn’t have a realistic chance.
    SELECTIONS
    JE TE CHERCHE (7) – KROONER D’HERIPRE (2) – IALTO D’HERTALS (15) – JENTIL DIESCHOOT (5)
    C2 – PRIX APRION – 3000m (a2m) – Class F Amateur Drivers – Harness – EUR € 8,000
  17. KAYAK – Has turned a corner since moving stables in December. Has come close more than once this term and is due a win one of these days
  18. KHAZAR DES CORVEES – Got back in the game with success at Hyeres prior to running 3rd in a Cagnes Class E in late-February. Sports pads this time but current form is still hard to ignore
  19. KEOPS DU CHATAULT – Has shown a different side to himself since starting to race without front shoes. Is clearly close to his race and will be well-backed to win this
  20. IZZIE PONCELET – Modest mare with just the one run in her since the winter break and is unlikely to spring any surprises
  21. ISBA BESNOT – Stormed up in an amateurs Class F over 2300m here 12 days ago. Takes on a better bunch this time however, and incurs the penalty, but still looks good enough to pick up a first-5 cheque
  22. JOLI MEC D’AMOUR – Has won 4 of last 5 barefoot starts, most recently at Cagnes on 17 February. Forced to start on 2nd row but is still a leading contender
  23. GLADIATOR DE NIMES – Honest trotter making first appearance since placing in a Toulouse Class F last October. Has yet to deliver at Borely and is unlikely to this time either
  24. HERMES SCOTT – Has been a complete write-off since November 2025 and will need to get his house in order
    Summary: Runner-up at Vivaux in January, on his first appearance in the amateur division, KEOPS DU CHATAULT (3) has subsequently shown his form in the professional ranks and from the front line is easy to fancy for the win. Sophie Blanchetière will still be keeping one eye on amateur-category debutant KAYAK (1) who has similarly been knocking at the door. JOLI MEC D’AMOUR (6) flew up on his amateur debut here in November and is 25m worse off, but in current condition will be no soft touch.
    SELECTIONS
    KEOPS DU CHATAULT (3) – KAYAK (1) – JOLI MEC D’AMOUR (6) – KHAZAR DES CORVEES (2)
    C3 – PRIX BAR TABAC DES PLATANES – 2300m (a1m1/2) – Class D – Harness – EUR € 23,000
  25. NOISETTE MIKA – 3rd to NOUMEA COCONUT (2) in a Cagnes Class E on 20 February. Has ground to make up though and others preferred
  26. NOUMEA COCONUT – Won easily on 20 February before losing her action early this month. Trainer back in the bike and will be determined to set the record straight
  27. NILDA LAND – Tricky sort that was eliminated when never threatening in a Cagnes Class D 3 weeks ago, and is not about to create an upset
  28. NUBA DE PERVENCHE – Went close at Grenade-sur-Garonne in late-January, then ran 4th behind NOTTINGHAM ROYAL (5) at Cagnes a month later. Is unlikely to spice things up but should nevertheless hold her own
  29. NOTTINGHAM ROYAL – Facile winner at Lyon-La Soie before running 2nd to a serious colt at Cagnes a month back. Enjoys a good draw and will be well-backed to win this
  30. NEO WYNN – Eliminated as often as not but has ability. Caught the eye behind NECTAR DES LOYAUX (8) at Saint-Galmier a fortnight ago and, from the 6-slot will be expected to turn the tables. First 5
  31. NIMITZ D’HERIPRE – Excellent in first 2 starts before being sent for a spell. Is sure to have progressed for last month’s re-entry run and will be expected to contest the finish this time
  32. NECTAR DES LOYAUX – Useful sort that got back in the game at Saint-Galmier 2 weeks ago when 3rd in a 2600m Class D. Not ideally-drawn though and more a minor place chance this time
  33. NINO DE TIMBOEUF – Decent future prospect that was eliminated early at Chartres 10 days ago but nevertheless showed his form. Alexandre Abrivard in the bike this time and can finish close if he assures his colt’s initial strides
  34. NOUMEA D’AMOUR – Eliminated at Lyon-La Soie earlier in the month after having run 2nd in Bordeaux. Has been reconfigured but still looks an outsider
    Summary: Like a different horse since the turn of the year, NOTTINGHAM ROYAL (5) is reunited with Theo Briand who steered him to victory in Lyon, and the colt’s Cagnes performance will stand him in good stead. Winner under these conditions on his debut, the promising NIMITZ D’HERIPRE (7) will have come on for his return run and looks the main threat. Even though she lost her action earlier in the month, NOUMEA COCONUT (2) is clearly in good shape and looks competitive once more. NINO DE TIMBOEUF (9) will have his chances if he gets off on the right foot.
    SELECTIONS
    NOTTINGHAM ROYAL (5) – NIMITZ D’HERIPRE (7) – NOUMEA COCONUT (2) – NINO DE TIMBOEUF (9)
    C4 – PRIX HORCHESTRO – 2300m (a1m1/2) – Class D – Harness – EUR € 23,000
  35. MADE IN ATALANTE – Eliminated in 4 of 5 starts this year. Is not devoid of ability but still has nothing to contribute in this category
  36. MAGIC DOLLAR – Got straight down to business on comeback, winning a Vivaux Class E on 13 February. Takes on a better bunch this time however and not an obvious choice
  37. MOONLIGHT DANICA – Imposed at Cagnes on 20 February then ran 4th in a Class A at the same venue 2.5 weeks ago. Takes a dip in category and will not be available at 51-1 this time
  38. MOJITO CASTELETS – Sports front pads for the first time, having returned to competition 2 weeks ago. Benefits from a good spot behind the car and Steve Stefano will be eager to set the record straight
  39. MY WAY LEAGABIN – Acquits herself decently for the most part but was lacklustre at Cagnes a month back and even though reconfigured, still has too much to do
  40. MOZART SAUTONNE – Takes a drop in category after running 5th in a Vincennes Class C late last month. Matthieu Abrivard could not have asked for a better entry and will be determined to ensure that the long trip was worthwhile. Claim
  41. MANDARINA DE LOU – Not the most dependable of horses but showed her form at Vincennes on penultimate start. Sports a new formula here and despite the wide draw can still play a prominent part
  42. MEXICAIN – Won at Cagnes in early-February but oddly out of sorts next time. Has otherwise been hard to fault and Romain Derieux will be keen to set the record straight
  43. MAMBA DES DURIEZ – Has pleased for the most part at Cagnes this year but has little liking for the venue and can be passed over
  44. MICHIGAN HAWK – Excellent in 3 of 4 starts at the venue, including a pair of victories. Would prefer a better draw but is more competitively-shod this time and should not be overlooked
  45. MURO – Eliminated almost as often as not but has ample ability. Gets to race with front shoes off for first time and even from the 2nd row can make a big splash
    Summary: MOZART SAUTONNE (6) makes his Borely debut after a couple of runs at Vincennes and, barefoot again, can redeem himself and win this. He will still meet opposition from a freshly-configured MURO (11) who will be dangerous if he stays trotting, and the complicated and also reconfigured MANDARINA DE LOU (7) to which the same caveat applies. MOONLIGHT DANICA (3) has taken his game to another level lately, sports modified shoeing, and from the 3 slot is easy to recommend.
    SELECTIONS
    MOZART SAUTONNE (6) – MURO (11) – MANDARINA DE LOU (7) – MOONLIGHT DANICA (3)
    C5 – PRIX FIESTA D’ANJOU – 3000m (a2m) – Class E – Harness – EUR € 30,000
  46. HYPOLIT DE BEL AIR – Moderate 5th in a Class E at Châtillon-sur-Chalaronne early this month. A repeat, however, seems most improbable
  47. HEOL LORIETTES – Has done nothing noteworthy since imposing at Thouars in August 2024 and can be confidently ruled out
  48. IMPACTDARCHE – 5th in an amateurs event at Cagnes 2 weeks ago. Starts in front, with front shoes off this time, but still has his work cut out
  49. ICE SCOTT – Can trot but reliability not his strong suit. Is well-engaged on the front row but will have too much to find
  50. INDESKAYA BIRD – Gave a good account at Cagnes prior to prepping shod here 12 days ago. Benefits from a front-line start and Junior Guelpa will be justifiably confident of a big run
  51. INCAHUASI – Showed improvement in a 2300m Class E here last Friday but incurs the penalty and is unlikely to spice things up
  52. HOUPETTE ROSE – Useful on a good day, and has 2 races under her belt since the break. Has decent references over course and distance but still represents no more than a minor place prospect
  53. HELECHO – Put on a good show at Saint-Galmier last week after 2 months out of competition. Despite the draw, has a lot going for him and looks to have a realistic claim on the race
  54. IBIZA EVENING – Produced a pair of good efforts at Cagnes before enduring a poor trip in Paris. Has pulled a rough number but is back under conditions she appreciates and must be considered a contender
  55. IDEM JIHEM – Has looked decidedly ordinary for some time. Did please in both starts at the venue though, and will generate some interest, but faces a tougher task this time
  56. GALOPIN DE BIANCA – Failed to leave his mark at Saint-Galmier after having run 2nd on his Vincennes re-entry, but should not be too hastily-condemned. Starts on back row but still looks competitive for a place in the frame
  57. GO AWAY BIRD – Has not been seen out since November and with shoes fitted will have no possible chance
  58. ILLICO DU JAS – Very hard to fault when barefoot and focused. Is twice a winner here and with application can get in on the action
  59. HANA D’OCCAGNES – Got back in the game at Cagnes-sur-Mer a month ago when 3rd in a Class D. Benefits from a fine entry here and the engagement of Romain Derieux will do her chances no disservice
  60. GRISBI DU PERSIL – Fine campaigner that has struggled since December, but is barefoot for the occasion and it is just a matter of time before he starts to come good again
  61. GAJAC – Unexceptional trotter that has failed to make much of an impression since returning from a lengthy hiatus. Enjoys a fine entry but still has limited chances
    Summary: This is a fairly open contest but it is still hard to ignore HELECHO (8) who gave a fine account at Saint-Galmier a week ago on his first start for David Alexandre. He will be partnered by Matthieu Abrivard for the occasion, sports modified shoeing, and looks capable of winning a race of this nature. Unplaced behind him that day after having placed twice at Vincennes, GALOPIN DE BIANCA (11) can be brought back into the fold, however he may first have to see off IBIZA EVENING (9) who has nothing to prove under these conditions, and the in-shape INDESKAYA BIRD (5) who enjoys a 25m head-start.
    SELECTIONS
    HELECHO (8) – IBIZA EVENING (9) – INDESKAYA BIRD (5) – GALOPIN DE BIANCA (11)
    C6 – PRIX KING BLACK – 3000m (a2m) – Class D – Mounted – EUR € 35,000
  62. HORACE – Has not been seen out since winning a Vivaux Class E on 18 January. Goes barefoot again and a repeat seems unlikely
  63. REDBULL PELLINI – Has taken well to French conditions and tries her hand under the saddle this time. Failed to fire in either monte start to date and others easier to back
  64. JEWEL D’HERMES – Particularly capable when barefoot and applied. Has 2 runs in him since the lengthy break, will be reconfigured for the occasion, and from the front row will be no pushover
  65. IRUN DU BOCAGE – Raced well to finish 5th of 18 in a Class D over course and distance on 13 March. Starts in front but a repeat seems unlikely
  66. INES D’HERMES – No champion but does have references in this branch of the business, and a return to the code may be just what the doctor ordered
  67. LORENZO BOKO – Had shown monte promise at home in Sweden before coming 3rd in a Cagnes Class C 2.5 weeks ago. Has a lot of ground to make up though and can be passed over
  68. IMPERIAL KEY – Has not been seen at Borely since 2022 but seldom disappoints in the discipline, last time the exception though. Will, however, be expected to bounce back and finish in the mix
  69. FIGHTER SIMONI – Quality element making first appearance for Dominik Locqueneux’s yard. Will have been specifically prepared for this and has the quality to win a race of this category
  70. HAPPY PACHA – 5th of 14 in a Vincennes Class D, on return to the code, early last month. Was going well before being eliminated here 12 days ago and has a reasonable chance of giving FIGHTER SIMONI (8) a run for his money
  71. HUMOUR FESTIF – Has been acquitting himself well over last 6 months, and the entry will only help matters. Place chance
    Summary: The 2nd line is where it’s all at, with the returning FIGHTER SIMONI (8) who should have the measure of most here. He may not have been seen out since moving to his new yard last November but is not incapable of imposing at the first time of asking. HAPPY PACHA (9) made an encouraging return to the discipline at Vincennes early last month and looks a serious proposition. HUMOUR FESTIF (10) has been entrusted to Alexandre Abrivard and will have his chances. Bizarrely below-par last time out, IMPERIAL KEY (7) has otherwise been in fine shape since returning from his spell and in this category can contest a place on the podium.
    SELECTIONS
    FIGHTER SIMONI (8) – HAPPY PACHA (9) – HUMOUR FESTIF (10) – IMPERIAL KEY (7)
    C7 – PRIX GASPAR D’ANGIS – 2300m (a1m1/2) – Class C – Harness – EUR € 31,000
  72. LUCIFERMORNINGSTAR – Form has done nothing but regress since the start of the year and must get his house in order
  73. LAREDO BAY – Versatile mare making Borely bow after 2 fine runner-up runs at Vincennes. Comes here fresh, and from the 2-spot can have her way
  74. LE RETOUR VRIE – Not always the easiest of horses to use but ran out a comfortable winner of a Saint-Galmier Class D on 16 February and, with application, can repeat
  75. LEOPOLD – Quality individual facing first objective of the new season after a Lyon conditioner earlier in the month. Is new to 2300m here but has previously won at the venue, sports pads this time, and the draw will do his chances no disservice
  76. LAURELINA – Got off the mark for 2026 when winning a 2850m Feurs Class F 2.5 weeks ago. Is new to the venue, and steps up in category, but is still easy to like
  77. LOGAN JIEL – Previously a good sort but has made no impact for some time and is not about to change his ways
  78. LEADER DES RIOULTS – Useful element but has failed to deliver in last 2. Winner of his lone start here but must first re-establish his credentials
  79. LAZAN DE PASSIEU – Produced a hat-trick of wins over the winter months, including a facile course and distance victory. Takes a dip in category and looks a decent place prospect this time
    Summary: Runner-up in her last 2, both at Vincennes, LAREDO BAY (2) takes to Marseille-Borely for the first time and could well win this if she takes to the new conditions. Theo Briand will still be mindful of LE RETOUR VRIE (3) who has won 2 of his last 4 starts, and the widely-drawn LAZAN DE PASSIEU (8) who has not put a foot wrong for some time.
    SELECTIONS
    LAREDO BAY (2) – LE RETOUR VRIE (3) – LAZAN DE PASSIEU (8) – LEOPOLD (4)
    C8 – PRIX MARCO BONHEUR – 2300m (a1m1/2) – Class E – Harness – EUR € 30,000
  80. IMPACT CASTELETS – Last but one in a Saint-Galmier Class F a fortnight ago and in this company has no realistic chance
  81. ISIS DE POULINE – Serious mare that goes particularly well in the day’s configuration. Is well-placed behind the car, left a good impression here last week, and is unlikely to be far from the action
  82. JUNON DE LOU – Returns to racing barefoot after finishing 7th behind KANAKA DE BUSSET (8) in a Cagnes Class E 2.5 weeks ago. Should appreciate the new conditions and from the 4 slot can play a prominent role
  83. HADORABLE MEC – Capable individual but has not been seen out since September and will be shod for comeback
  84. HUNIQUE – Put in a fine finish at Cagnes 2.5 weeks ago even though only 6th of 13. Appears to be nearing his best and the draw will only help his decent first-5 prospects
  85. IRON D’ERONVILLE – No slouch but tends to show more in the amateur division these days. Starts in front but sports pads this time and others easier to back
  86. KELMEC – It took a few runs to come good for new trainer but did so emphatically at Cagnes with 3 in a row. Has won at the venue and even in spite of the wide draw, still looks the one to beat
  87. KANAKA DE BUSSET – Not the most reliable of horses but put on a good show at Cagnes-sur-Mer 2.5 weeks ago and David Bekaert stays faithful. Place prospect
  88. JUST FOR YOU – Secured the hat-trick late last year but has looked rather ordinary since, latterly 8th behind ISIS DE POULINE (2) in a Class F here on 13 March, and with some luck in running can get a look in
  89. KAPORAL VISAIS – Sprang a 39-1 surprise when 3rd in a Cagnes Class A 2.5 weeks ago. In less-exalted company on this occasion, has shown a liking for Borely despite being disqualified last time here, and can give KELMEC (7) something to think about. Chance
  90. IBRA TEJY – Useful in his category but has been off the track since early-December and will have nothing to offer
  91. JAZZISSIME – Fine trotter but is preferred under the saddle and is here for reasons of conditioning
    Summary: Winner of 1 of 2 starts here, KELMEC (7) changes venue after securing the hat-trick at Cagnes-sur-Mer; he starts wide but benefits from a terrific entry and it is hard to envisage him being bested. KAPORAL VISAIS (10) sprang something of a surprise in good company last time out and looks the principal threat. Better-placed in front, ISIS DE POULINE (2) reassured here mid-month and will not be far off the mark. KANAKA DE BUSSET (8) is new to Borely but a repeat of her recent Cagnes effort would see her finish in the mix.

    R2 CAEN [R-H]

C1 – PRIX D’ACQUEVILLE – 2450m (a1m1/2) – Class E – Mounted – EUR € 21,000

  1. NANIELLE D’AVEL – A three-year-old fily by Earl Simon out of Qualas d’Héripré who is making her debut. Her mother never won a race after 6 starts. Should be a threat on debut
  2. NIKITA DELO – A three-yer-old filly by Brillantissime out of This Lovely d’Ar who is making her debut. Her Dam never won a race after 9 starts. Others make more appeal
  3. NAVA DE BEYLEV – Disqualified in a class F mounted race over this course and distance on 12 March. Capable of improvement and can be a lively danger
  4. NIGHT OPAJELO – Finished 8th on debut in a class F mounted race over this track and trip on 12 March. Needs to find a few lengths to score
  5. NO LIMIT – Finished 9th on debut in a class F harness race at Le Mont-Saint-Michel over 2675m on 8 March. Needs to find a few lengths to win
  6. NOORHA D’IQUAINE – Disqualified on debut in a class F mounted race over this track and trip on 12 March. Capable of improvement and could earn some money
  7. NOSTALGIE DE BLAY – Finished ffth on debut in a class F mounted race over this course and distance on 12 March. Can earn some money with improvement likely
  8. NEW GIRL DU MATIN – Disqualified in a class F harness race at Vire over 2700m on 18 March. Capable of doing better but others are preferred
  9. NUIT DE PAQUES – Kept to harness races so far and finished 7th in class F over this course and distance on 19 March. Could improve trying a mounted race and has a place chance
  10. NORMA FIRST – Finished ffth in a class F harness race at Le Mont-Saint-Michel over 2675m on 8 March. Needs to do a bit more to beat these rivals
  11. NANILLE DES APRES – Showed some improvement when third in a class F harness race at Cordemais over 2825m on 8 March. Can play a minor role at very best
  12. NEW LIFE – Disqualified twice in a row, the latest in a class F harness race over this track and trip on 5 March. Can score trying a mounted race
  13. NESSICA PLANCHETTE – Disqualified in a class E harness race at Laval over 2850m on 26 February. Needs to do more to beat these rivals
  14. NINA JAVO – Showed some improvement when third in a class F mounted race over this course and distance on 12 March. Clearly not out of it
  15. NEUILLY DE PLAY – Only modest of late and finished 6th in a class F harness race over this course and distance on 19 March. Needs to find a few lengths to score
    Summary: A very tricky opening event. NEW LIFE (12) has shown some form in harness races and looks the type that could score on her mounted race debut. NANIELLE D’AVEL (1) is well bred and can be a threat to these rivals on her debut. NAVA DE BEYLEV (3) has not shown much so far, but there is talk about her and she could show vast improvement in this weak-looking race. NINA JAVO (14) showed improvement under the saddle and is another to consider.
    SELECTIONS
    NEW LIFE (12) – NANIELLE D’AVEL (1) – NAVA DE BEYLEV (3) – NINA JAVO (14)
    C2 – PRIX DE JANVILLE – 2450m (a1m1/2) – Class E – Harness – EUR € 21,000
  16. NINDALF – Disqualified in a class F over this track and trip on 12 March. Has yet to show much and others make more appeal
  17. NEWTON DE MONGOCHY – Not reliable but did finish fourth in a class F over this track and trip on 16 March. Can earn some minor money
  18. NIKYSTAR D’AUVRECY – Disqualified twice in just five starts, including last time out in a class E at Reims over 2550m on 19 March. Might earn some minor money when smart
  19. NANTUS D’AVIGNERE – Only modest so far and finished fifth in a class F over this track and trip on 16 March. More is needed to beat these rivals
  20. NICE BOY BOURBON – Successful on debut in a class F at Le Mont-Saint-Michel over 2675m on 8 March. Capable of following up this shorter distance
  21. NOLIO DU BARBEY – Returned to form and was a runner-up in a class F over this course and distance on 2 March.. Can contest the finish again
  22. NEWTON LANDING – Not disgraced when fifth in a class D at Saint-Galmier over 2600m on 16 February. Has a place chance in this line-up
  23. NEVADA PIERJI – Not disgraced when fourth in a class D at Vincennes over 2100m on 11 February. Won on debut and can be a threat to these rivals
  24. NABUCCO DE GODREL – Did not show his best form when 8th in a class E at Lisieux over 2725m on 14 March. Capable of doing better but others are preferred this time
  25. NUMBER ONE GAGOU – A winner on debut in a class F over this course and distance on 12 March. Impressed that day and could follow up
  26. NAVAH MERCURY – Disqualified in a class D at Saint-Galmier over 2600m on 12 March. Consistent before that and could earn some money if smart
    Summary: NUMBER ONE GAGOU (10) clearly has more wins in the tank and impressed on debut. That victory was over this course and distance and sets the standard for the race. NICE BOY BOURBON (5) also showed talent with his debut win and will not go down easily. NEVADA PIERJI (8) won well on debut but did not repeat that performance last time out. He must be respected, though. NOLIO DU BARBEY (6) proved no match for NUMBER ONE GAGOU (10) last time out but can make the frame.

    C3 – PRIX D’OLENDON – 2450m (a1m1/2) – Class F Amateur Riders – Harness – EUR € 19,000
  27. LEMMING – Disqualified twice in a row, the latest in a class G at Le Mont-Saint-Michel over 2675m on 8 March. Not easy to trust and others are preferred
  28. LOVER ADEMMA – Unreliable and was fifth in a class F at Amiens over 2400m on 9 December. Remains barefoot but could need this run returning from a break
  29. LORD SAINT MARTIN – Holding form and finished fourth in a class F at La Capelle over 2750m on 8 March. Could earn some minor money
  30. LIPTON TONIC – Unreliable but was third in a class F at Loudeac over 2875m on 15 March. Has a place chance in this line-up
  31. LAGON DU POMMEREUX – Yet to win a race but was runner-up in a class F at Bihorel-les-Rouen over 2500m on 15 March. Can be competitive once again
  32. LEFORT FLIGNY – Returned from a break and was unplaced in a class D over this track and trip on 19 March. Needs to find aa few lengths to score
  33. LORIQUET – Disqualified in a class E at Cabourg over 2725m on 16 December. Remains barefoot but is likely to need this run returning from a break
  34. LASCAUX DU PERCHE – Holding form and finished fourth in a class F at Vire over 2700m on 1 March. Remains barefoot and can make the frame
  35. LAMA DE CORDAY – Showed some improvement when runner-up in a class F at Lisieux over 2675m on 14 March. Can go one place better
  36. LORD DE L’ITON – Successful in both starts this year, the latest in a class F at Le Mont-Saint-Michel over 2675m on 8 March. Can complete the hat-trick
  37. LUCKY PIYA – Disqualified in his last 5 starts, the latest in a class F at this track over 2200m on 12 March. Probably best watched for now
  38. LANDSMAN – A runner-up in a class E at Le Mont-Saint-Michel over 2600m on 17 August. Returns from a lengthy break and could need this run
  39. L’AMIRAL STREET – Finished 7th in a class F when returning from a break, at Amiens over 2400m on 15 March. Likely to need this run as well
  40. LABORANTIN – Probably needed his only run of the year when 10th in a class F at Amiens over 2400m on 15 March. Reverts to barefoot and can earn some money
    Summary: LORD DE L’ITON (10) has struck form with some solid wins this year and can complete his hat-trick. LAMA DE CORDAY (9) finished strongly when only finding one better on the day at Lisieux earlier this month and should be competitive again. LAGON DU POMMEREUX (5) showed promise last time out but has yet to win a race. LASCAUX DU PERCHE (8) continues to hold form and can challenge for top honours this time.

    Summary: KANDERO BELLO (8) does well when barefoot and was not disgraced at Nantes last month. He gets a confident vote to score. KRYSTAL DU RUEL (15) needed his last run. He does particularly well with this shoeing and is a lively danger. KANSAS DU RIB (9) will strip fitter this time and can get into the mix of things. KAMARI LOVE (2) is returning from a break but is talented and must be given some respect in this line-up.

MARC AURELE (3) raced barefoot when scoring at this track last time out, remains unshod, and is a lively danger. MISTRAL POURPRIX (4) will strip fitter this time and is clearly not out of it.

JAHIA DU TRIO (6) has some disqualification issues but did run well in her only mounted race and is likely to be competitive if staying on the trot. JADE VENESI (7) is better than her last run and will enjoy being back under the saddle, so has solid claims. INDIANA TESS (5) remains barefoot and has won her last three starts when racing without shoes.

    Summary: A very open-looking lucky last race. JOYEUX NONNA (16) looked capable of scoring before faulting at this track earlier this month. He can make amends for that defeat. JOYAU DE L’ITON (12) is in good form and would not be a surprise winner, racing without shoes for this contest. JOCASTE DAIRPET (9) has also been in good form of late and can be competitive once again. JUNE DE FLORANGE (6) is not reliable but can go one place better.

  1. SHALOHA – Current form has been on the serious decline over various tracks and trips and is hard to assess, predict and fancy. Pass by
  2. BEAUTIFUL MEMORY – Finished 9th at Saint-Cloud over 2000m in a Handicap on the 10th of March and will need to do way more to threaten here. Prefer others
  3. HAPPY LADY – Finished a good 2nd at Chantilly over 2700m on the 25th of February in a Handicap and has a serious each way chance here
  4. JAGUARE PRECIEUSE – Was a winner three starts back but has been dismal since. Finished 12th at Senonnes over 3000m last time and that wont be good enough. Hard to make a case for
  5. GABYLOU – Only managed 10th place last time and will need to build on that to win. Run was at Chantilly over 1900m in Handicap class on the 8th of this month. Can improve
  6. SYNERGETIC – Caught the eye when 3rd at this course over 2400m on the 18th of February and can go very close to winning. Bright winning chance
  7. OVER THE CLOUDS – Can build on recent 5th at Fontainebleau over 2200m in a Handicap on the 17th of October last year if not needing the run. Enters the equation
  8. LOLLIPOP DES PINS – Posted a good 3rd at Cagnes-Sur-Mer over 2400m on the 22nd of February and should earn again. Strong place chance

    Summary: SYNERGETIC (6) ran a much better race last time when third at this course and based on this effort, can build on that and go very close to winning. HAPPY LADY (3) caught the eye last time when flashing up to finish second and has every chance of going one more. LADY DU SAPHIR (14) is a tad off form in the last two but can be expected to do way better now. LOLLIPOP DES PINS (8) has a quartet chance.

  17. SUPERCLASS – Is yet to win a race, ignore last run, placed 3rd before that over 2100m at this track in early February. Good place chance
  18. ADORABLE – A battling maiden that is very hard to make a case for. Placed 15th last time, 16th the time before and 9th the time before that. Would be a shock if placing
  19. TWENTY SEVEN JET – Hard to make a case for on last three runs and some form before that. Was only 9th at Saint-Brieuc over 2400m on the 1st of March and would be a surprise winner. Small, outside place chance at very best

  28. COCO LIGHT – Made no impression last time when way back in 14th place over 2100m in a Handicap at this track in November last year. Unlikely to feature
    Summary: IN THE ARMY NOW (12) is taking time for her next win but is running consistently of late and her last two efforts were particularly encouraging. She has strong leading claims. TENYEARSAFTER (9) can be forgiven for her last run when closer to last than first and is best judged on her fair penultimate run. MY DARLING (7) caught the eye last time when second at this course over 3100m and can be very competitive again. A must for all betting calculations. SUPERCLASS (3) is taking time for the win but is capable of running a place here.

  37. ADVENTURA – Has had a few runs and making little impression thus far. Placed 9th at Machecoul last time over 2350m and is hard to make a case for and hard to fancy
  38. FIRST LADY STAR – Will need to improve on last run when 7th at Machecoul over 2350m on the 8th of March and form before is average. Hard to fancy and can be passed by
  39. PLENTY BLACK – Has not shown as much as the others in this race thus far and will need serious improvement to beat them. Placed 6th at this track over 2100m last time but way more needed. Prefer others
  40. RUSH TO WAIT – Never made too much impression on debut at Le Mans when placing 8th over 1950m on the 4th of this month but might be able to improve. Going with others today
  41. RUBIS DREAMS – A daughter of Olympic Glory out of a Motivator mare that more than likely will need a few runs to tighten up. Watch the betting as race time looms
    Summary: MOONEY VISION (7) improved a ton from run one to run two and with more progress likely, will be hard to beat. CITY SLICKER (3) has caught the attention in both runs thus far and will be a serious threat to the first selection. PERCEVAL (1) is progressing with racing experience and ran an absolute cracker last time. He is another one for the shortlist. TEUCH WIN (4) should be right there at the finish.

KATIE LIGHT (10) showed in her last run when second at Pornichet that her winning turn is near. She has a bright chance.

    Summary: GOLFEUR (6) arrives in consistent form at present and is ideally placed to strike for that next victory. It’s been over a year since he won but seems to save his best form for this venue. CICCIO BOY (1) has dropped to the right mark which he can challenge off and gets some valuable weight off the back. He is running well and will be a huge contender. GAILLARD (3) is best forgiven for his under par latest effort which came against far stronger opposition and in this company, he can produce a solid run. KIEVSKY (5) was a winner two starts back and can show a return to that winning form.

TEAM BREIZH (1) is better than her latest effort and can show the form which saw her win two starts back. MARYCHA (7) gets some weight off the back and is one that is very much on an upward trajectory so is hard to ignore.
