R1 CHANTILLY [R-H]

C1 – PRIX DE LA REINE BLANCHE LONGINES PRESENTE PAR LES ECHOS WEEK-END – 1100m (a5f1/2) – TURF – Newcomers Race – Flat – EUR € 50,000

  1. OIA – Filly by Sommerabend, the dam won 7 races. She should come forward for this racecourse debut, unless the betting says otherwise
  2. VIZIOSA – Filly by Dark Angel from the same family as top performer Pinatubo, the dam won 4 races. Stable runners warrant respect on debut
  3. MACUMBA – Filly by Time Test, the dam won 2 races. Could improve for this opening run. Watch the betting for clues
  4. ESTHETE – Filly by Almanzor, the dam won 2 races. From the Francis-Henri Graffard stable, who will have this youngster well tuned. Bold show expected
  5. POSSI – Newcomer by Goken, the dam won 1 race. Nice profile and the booking of Christophe Soumillon to ride is a bonus. Watch the betting patterns
  6. BURGUESINHA – Filly by Mehmas, the dam won 3 races including a Listed race. Well bred, and she will be nicely tuned. Must be respected and betting will offer more clues
  7. CHARMING CECILIA – Filly by Saxon Warrior, the dam was placed a few times. Should be well prepared by connections and can be given consideration
  8. PIANA – Unraced by Zelzal, the dam was placed a few times. Should improve for this experience. Unlikely to trouble the judge
  9. JEUDIXX – Unraced by Hello Youmzain, the dam never ran. Looks good on paper, and should know what is required. Enters calculations
  10. HOMMAGE A NADINE – Filly by Golden Horde, the dam won 3 races. Stable runners usually improve for a run or two. Others can be preferred
    Summary: ESTHETE (4) is out of a smart mare who won twice, and her trainer will expect a bold show on her racecourse debut. She could have the most to fear from POSSI (5), who has a nice profile, and the stable does well with first-time out runners. The booking of Christophe Soumillon catches the eye. JEUDIXX (9) looks the part on paper and should know what is required on her first day at school. BURGUESINHA (6) is out of a useful mare who won at Listed class and could be smart.
    SELECTIONS
    ESTHETE (4) – POSSI (5) – JEUDIXX (9) – BURGUESINHA (6)
    C2 – PRIX DU BOIS LONGINES – 1200m (a6f) – TURF – Gr3 Race – Flat – EUR € 80,000
  11. MOOJEED – Two placed runs, 2nd on the most recent over 1200m at Chantilly in a Class 3 race on May 16th. Ought to be in the shake-up
  12. KALKARA – Placed 2nd on both runs, the latest over 1200m at Saint-Cloud on May 23rd in a Class 3 race. Others rate higher
  13. IMPERIAL ME CEN – Won over 1000m in a Listed race at Vichy on May 14th on his last start. He looks speedy and warrants respect
  14. MEELAF – Nice 2nd over 1000m at Beverley (UK) in a conditions race on May 24th. Hard to overlook
  15. ALI SHUFFLE – Unbeaten in all three starts, the latest win was over 1000m at Chester (UK) on May 7th. She has lots of early speed and will be hard to catch
    Summary: ALI SHUFFLE (5) has scored on all three starts over 1000m. She likes to race handily and could be hard to peg back despite her first try at this trip. IMPERIAL ME CEN (3) is also stepping up in trip, he won by 2.5L in a Listed race at Vichy last time and looks like the main threat. MOOJEED (1) bumped into a useful performer when second at this track in a Class 3 race last time and can have a say at the business end.
    SELECTIONS
    ALI SHUFFLE (5) – IMPERIAL ME CEN (3) – MOOJEED (1) – MEELAF (4)
    C3 – PX REINE MARIE-AMELIE-LONGINES FEGENTRI W.CHAMPIONSHIP FOR LADY RIDERS – 2100m (a1m1/4) – TURF – Class 3 Handicap – Flat – EUR € 22,000

  17. KINEMATICA – Scored over 1800m at Evreux on May 27th in a conditions race last time. Has each way claims
  18. MARTIN SPIRIT – Unplaced on two runs this year, the most recent over 2000m at Parislongchamp on April 24th in a Class 3 claimer. Look for an alternative
  19. DAMASK BLADE – Two solid placed runs of late, a 2nd at Vichy on the latest of them over 1600m in a Class 4 handicap on May 14th. Live contender
  20. ARIGATO – Won on his last start over 2400m at Wissembourg on May 18th in a Class 4 race. The drop back in trip could be a negative
  21. POPORO – Fair 4th on the one run this year over 2100m at Argentan on June 4th in a Class 4 handicap. In the mix
  22. COGOLIN – Good 2nd last time over 2100m at Saint-Cloud in a Class 3 handicap on May 23rd. Ought to be in the shake-up
  23. BOB LA BIDOUILLE – He won three runs back at Morlaix over 1800m in a Class 4 race on March 30th and was 4th at Senonnes on May 30th in a Class 4 handicap last time. Consider
  24. BONNIE HOPPS – Recent win over 1900m at La Teste on June 2nd in a Class 4 handicap. Among the leading chances
  25. RUE DES ORTEAUX – Four unplaced runs of late, 11th over 2500m at Parislongchamp in a Class 3 handicap on May 25th. Down in trip and prefers a stiffer test
  26. BOKEN – Unplaced last time, 2nd before that over 2500m in a Class 4 handicap on April 15th at Evreux. Unlikely to trouble some of these
  27. PREMIERE ETOILE – 2nd on the last start over 2500m at Le Crise-Laroche on May 18th in a Class 4 handicap. Needs a few to misfire
  28. ZELZALITA – 4th on her last start over 1600m at this track on November 19th in a Class 3 handicap. Might need this run for fitness
  29. CRISALSA – He has shown very little in four starts this year, the latter over 1800m at Compiegne in a Class 4 handicap on May 10th. Pass over
  30. DETESNOUVELLES – Unplaced on the last two runs, the latest over 3200m at this track on October 28th in a Class 3 handicap. Seasonal return and is best watched for now
  31. GO GO BLITZ – Placed on the last three runs, 4th at Munich-Riem (DEU) over 2200m on May 1st. Has work to do
    Summary: DAMASK BLADE (4) has performed well on his last two runs, with the second at Vichy in mid-May being particularly encouraging. He looks ready to get back in the winner’s enclosure. COGOLIN (7) ran well to be second at Saint-Cloud late last month in a Class 3 handicap when he was beaten by KARIOITAHI (1) by three-quarters of a length. On more favourable terms, he can reverse placings. BONNIE HOPPS (9) could be an option each way after a win at La Teste.
    SELECTIONS
    DAMASK BLADE (4) – COGOLIN (7) – KARIOITAHI (1) – BONNIE HOPPS (9)
    C4 – GRAND HANDICAP DE LAMORLAYE LONGINES – 1800m (a1m1/8) – TURF – Class 1 Divided Handicap – Flat – EUR € 75,000
  32. MORPHEWAN – Fair 3rd on the PSF last time over 2000m in a Class 2 race on May 23rd. Consistent performer who has a live chance
  33. WATCH HIM – Unplaced last time, 3rd previously over 1900m at Chantilly in a Class 2 handicap on March 24th. Merits consideration
  34. BULLACE – Three unplaced efforts this year, 7th on the latest over 1600m at Parislongchamp on April 30th in a Class 2 race. Has to get back on track
  35. CI MER – Two unplaced runs this year, 9th over 1400m in a Class 2 handicap on May 22nd at Parislongchamp on the latest. Should like the step up in trip
  36. GALORD – Two unplaced runs of late, the latest when behind at Lyon Parilly over 1600m on May 8th in a Class 2 handicap. Looks vulnerable
  37. AMERICAN LAWYER – Tad below par last time, 3rd before that over 2100m at Saint-Cloud in a Class 3 race on May 1st. In the mix
  38. CENTRAL PARK WEST – 5th on the last two runs, the latest over 1800m in a Class 3 claimer at Compiegne on May 21st. Opposable
  39. HARRY WAY – Fair 4th on his last run over 2000m at Marseille Borely on May 26th in a Class 2 handicap. Ought to be thereabouts
  40. KALEO PALACE – Unplaced last time, 4th at Deauville before that on January 17th in a Class 2 handicap over 2500m. Unlikely to threaten
  41. BAD DESIRE – 5th on his last run over 1900m at Cholet in a Class 3 race on June 2nd. Among the leading each -way chances
  42. GANASS – Two unplaced efforts in strong races recently, 4th before that in a Class 2 handicap at Parislongchamp on April 17th over 2000m. Capable of being competitive
  43. TRUE TEDESCO – Creditable 2nd at this track over 1900m in a Class 2 handicap on April 28th on his last start. Others seem better equipped
  44. LONDON ROYAL – Shaped well to be 6th on his seasonal return run over 1600m at Saint-Cloud in a Class 3 race on March 16th. Each way angle
  45. HUNGRY HEART – Recent win in a Class 3 race at Parislongchamp on May 22nd over 2000m. More needed in a stronger handicap
  46. INCREMENTAL – Unplaced last time, 4th before that over 1800m in a Class 3 claimer on May 21st at Compiegne. Makes limited appeal
  47. GOLD PLAYER – Three unplaced runs of late, well beaten at Lyon Parilly in a Class 3 handicap on May 8th over 1600m on his last outing. Hard to fancy
    Summary: GANASS (11) has a decent racing weight and was a good fourth three runs back in a competitive Class 2 handicap at Parislongchamp in mid-April. His two recent runs have been below his best, and he is the tentative selection ahead of MORPHEWAN (1), who ran a decent race on the PSF when third in a Class 2 race late last month. He can make life difficult for the selection. CI MER (4) is one to include in all of the place bet permutations. LONDON ROYAL (13) can improve from his only run this year when a fair sixth in a handicap at Saint-Cloud in March. WATCH HIM (2) is also worth considering.

    GANASS (11) – MORPHEWAN (1) – CI MER (4) – LONDON ROYAL (13)

  49. MANDANABA – Ran well to be 3rd in the Poule d’Essai des Pouliches (Gr.1) at Parislongchamp on May 11th on her last start over 1600m. Hard to ignore
  50. D’ORES ET DEJA – She has won two races this year, a Listed at Dusseldorf (DEU) over 1600m on April 26th on her penultimate start and 2nd last time in a Group 2 race at the same track on May 25th over 1600m. Looks vulnerable
  51. SHES PERFECT – She was first past the post in the Poule d’Essai des Pouliches (Gr.1) over 1600m last time at Parislongchamp on May 11th, to be demoted into 2nd after causing interference. Leading chance of making amends
  52. BEDTIME STORY – 6th on her last run over 1600m in the Poule d’Essai des Pouliches (Gr.1) at Parislongchamp on May 11th. Group 2 winner last year and should be on the premises
  53. MERRILY – Two unplaced runs this year, well beaten in a Group 1 last time at Parislongchamp on May 11th over 1600m. Looks safely held
  54. ROSA SALVAJE – She won a Class 2 race over 2100m at this track on May 16th on her last start. Big jump up in class and others preferred
  55. BETTER TOGETHER – Fair 5th in the Poule d’Essai des Pouliches (Gr.1) at Parislongchamp on May 11th, on her latest outing. Each way option

  59. GEZORA – Won on her last start over 2000m in the Prix Saint-Alary (Gr.2) at Parislongchamp on May 11th. Sure to stay and warrants respect
    Summary: SHES PERFECT (4) was first past the post in the Poule d’Essai des Pouliches (Gr.1) over 1600m at ParisLongchamp in May but was disqualified. She can make amends here and, on pedigree, should stay this longer trip. MANDANABA (2), just a length behind in third that day, is open to further improvement and poses the main danger. BEDTIME STORY (5) was sixth in that same race, but she’s settling better now and could get closer. Don’t ignore GEZORA (12), who should relish the step up in distance.

  74. WALDORA – Has fair form this year. Finished fifth in a Group 2 over 2100m at Saint-Cloud on 19 May. Oisin Murphy rides and she would not be a shock winner
  75. LATAKIA – Won on debut over 2400m at Nantes in a Maiden on 22 May. Colin Keane makes the trip to ride, and she could be anything

William Haggas sends out CHORUS (4) with Tom Marquand booked to ride. She finished third in a Group 3 at Haydock last time and should pose a massive threat. AGILE (3) ran a good race when second in her first run this year. She will strip a much fitter horse and should be involved. AQUA AUGUSTA (8) finished behind Agile last time and there should not be much separating the pair.

HAS DE CŒUR (10) is unreliable but did run well at Châteaubriant and can get involved in the finish. HEAVEN D’ECAJEUL (2) has won at this course and is another worth considering.

JUPITER FRANCE (15) has been in good shape throughout the year and would not be a surprise winner. JINA D’ERPION (9) has been a bit of a disappointment of late but can get involved in the finish if showing her best form.

    Summary: KOKO LABELLE (7) has been very good all year and can go one better this time. She does have an outside stall, which won’t make things easy for her. Rival KALINE D’ARDENNES (8) is also not well drawn but should appreciate this short distance and is an obvious danger. KALYPSO MI AMOR (4) has not won for some time but is in good shape and can contest the finish again. KOPAZE DE HOUELLE (10) has improved of late and could be ready to score if remaining sensible.

  56. LET IT SNOW – Won a Class F over 2700m at Le Croisé-Laroche on 2 June. He has been in good form lately and can win again
  57. LOVELY KING – Won a Class F over 2825m at Sable-Sur-Sarthe on 25 May. He has won his last two, both on grass, and will be attempting to continue his hot streak
  58. LUCKY ROSE – Finished 6th in a Class E over 2450m at Caen on 28 May. He is well positioned on the front row and looks good to run in the first three
  59. LIVINIO FLAC – Ran 8th in a Class E over 2700m at Le Croisé-Laroche on 12 May. That was decent enough comeback run to suggest there is more to come. Shoes have been removed for this run
  60. LULU JIVE – Finished 4th in a Class E over 2400m at Amiens on 26 May. Will need to show more if he is to trouble the better fancied runners
  61. LOEK DE REUX – Disqualified in a Class E over 2550m at Reims on 1 June. That was his second successive disqualification and he cannot be relied on
  62. LUSANIO DE WARNOC – Finished 3rd in a Class E over 2400m at Amiens on 26 May. He has been improving with each run after coming back from a winter break and should now be ready
  63. LORD DU TRIEUX – Ran 3rd in a Class F over 2825 at Villedieu-Les-Poeles on 25 May. Takes a jump in class this time and will battle in this company
  64. LOVAT – Ran 7th in a Class E over 2400m at Amiens on 26 May. That was his first run back from a rest and will probably still need this. Will race unshod behind this time
  65. LEAD ME ON – He was disqualified in a Class E over at 2400m Amiens on 26 May. He will be fitted with padded shoes both front and back but needs to show more to feature
  66. LUSSAC DE VANDEL – He was disqualified in his last start in a Class over 2400m at Amiens on 26 May but his previous win at Le Croisé-Laroche brings him into this race
  67. LEOGNAN – Did not show in a Class F over 2700m at Le Croisé-Laroche on 31 March. It was a poor comeback run and a lot more will be required. Races unshod behind this time
    Summary: LET IT SNOW (1) looks hard to oppose in this field, especially after his last-start win. He is the runner they all have to beat but one cannot underestimate LUCKY ROSE (3) who has a lot going for him in this event, as well as LUSSAC DE VANDEL (11) who, although disqualified last time, was an impressive winner of his previous start and is still improving. LUSANIO DE WARNOC (7) has had three runs after a winter break and is getting better with each performance.

  68. LATINKA – Finished 3rd in a Class E over 2400m at Amiens on 25 May. She is in good form and has run well at this course in three previous outings
  69. LOTTA SUEDOISE – Finished 4th in a Class E over 2450m at Caen on 24 May. That was an improved effort and she could place
  70. LA TERRE DU BANNEY – Disqualified in a Class F over 2715m at La Roche-Posay on 1 June. Has been disqualified in all three races this year which is a concern. Will have padded shoes in front
  71. LOVE ME MAZELI – Ran 2nd in a Class E over 2950m at Saint-Malo on 8 June. That was a decent run after two disqualifications but she takes on stronger. Padded shoes both front and back
  72. LUNA DE JOUDES – Won a Class F over 2700m at Le Croisé-Laroche on 2 June. Full shoes will be this time but whether on or off it does not seem to bother her. Looks hard to beat
  73. LIPINSKA – Finished 4th in a Class F over 2625m at Nancy on 28 May. Will race unshod behind this time but will need to improve
  74. LOU DU DONJON – Ran 2nd in a Class F at Graignes over 2725m on 5 June. She is has been in prolific form and on a good day could run a place. No shoes behind
  75. LADY D’ECOTAY – Disqualified in a Class R over 2850 at Vincennes on 13 May. Her form has been really poor of late
  76. LIONELLE DU SOLEIL – Disqualified in a Class E over 2400m at Amiens on 26 May. That was her first run in almost a year and she will need to show more
  77. LAURYN JIEL – Finished 2nd in a Class F over 2700m at Le Croisé-Laroche on 2 June. She has been consistent and should run well once again
  78. LATIFA OASIS – Ran 4th in a Class F over 2850 at Laon on 8 June. She has shown potential and could play an active role in the finish. Will race unshod behind
  79. LISTEN VIP – Ran 6th in a Class E over 2700m at Le Croisé-Laroche on 25 May. That was her first run back after a six-month layoff and improvement is expected. Will race unshod behind
    Summary: The recent record of LUNA DE JOUDES (5) makes her the one to beat in this field but one cannot write off the chances of LISTEN VIP (12) who ran well in her first run back from a winter break and can only improve on that performance. If in the mood LATINKA (1) could trouble both of them and she also has the advantage of three decent runs at this course. LAURYN JIEL (10) rarely runs a bad race and that must give her some sort of chance.

  80. MOZART DAB – Disqualified in a Class F over 2425m at Angers on 29 January. That was a disappointment but he qualified by 1’17”3 in Grosbois, so fit and well he can put this race to bed.
  81. MENINO – Disqualified in a Class E over 2550m at Reims on 17 May. He looks unlikely to bother the leading contenders
  82. MAESTRO CASH – Disqualified in a Class E over 2300m at Chartres on 1 June. Won before that but his form may not be good enough
  83. MUNCH CLUB – Finished 4th in a Grade C over 2200m at Vincennes on 30 October 2024. Has not raced for more than seven months and should need a run
  84. MOZART DU DOLLAR – Ran 7th in a Class D over 2700m at Le Croisé-Laroche on 21 May. Had been running well prior to that so must have a place chance
  85. MAKINA DANICA – Finished 3rd in a Class D over 2700m at Le Croisé-Laroche on 21 May. She has yet to win but her last race puts her into contention
  86. MARS COBBA – Finished 4th in a Class D over 2875m at Enghien on 24 May. That was quite a strong field and the form looks promising
  87. MUSE DE MONTCEAU – Finished 6th in a Class D over 2875m at Enghien on 28 May. She is another who has yet to win but is performing well so needs to be considered
  88. MADE IN CASTELETS – Finished 4th in a Class D over 2150m at Mauquenchy on 5 June. That was an improved performance but will still need more to feature
    Summary: MOZART DAB (1) has not been seen out since January when disqualified, but he qualified with aplomb just prior and needs to be given credit for that. MARS COBBA (7) ran well enough in a decent field last time and must be in contention. MAKINA DANICA (6) has yet to notch a win but that cannot be far off and she needs to be respected. The same applies to MUSE DE MONTCEAU (8) who is rarely far off them and will be winning soon.
