R1 LES SABLES D’OLONNE [L-H]

C1 – PRIX VENDEE GRAND LITTORAL – 2775m (a1m1/2) – Class F Race – Harness – EUR € 18,000

  1. LEA D’AMOUR – Ran 5th here before coming 7th of 11 in a 2950m Mansle monte Class F on 14 June, and will need to find significantly more
  2. LAHANNA DESBOIS – Got off the mark for 2025 in a 3200m Montmirail Class F 10 days ago. Has yet to win left-handed but is confirmed here and will be expected to bring the fight to LASSIE (4)
  3. LOVELY DEVOL – 3rd of 14, at 55/1, in a 2700m Graignes Class F on 28 June, however a repeat seems most improbable
  4. LASSIE – Got off the mark at Saint-Malo a month back before confirming in a 2500m Questembert Class F a fortnight later. Has clearly started to make good on her promise and the hat-trick looks a realistic ambition
  5. LORCANTA – Made up for a pair of sanctions when successful in a 2500m Questembert Class F 2.5 weeks ago. Faces a sterner test here, and races left-handed for first time, but must still be respected
  6. LATINA GEDE – 3rd of 14, a place behind LORETTE (7), in a 2775m Craon Class F 2.5 weeks ago. Is a serious sort for the most part and although unlikely to win this, can nevertheless finish close
  7. LORETTE – Imposed at Thouars on 9 June prior to running 2nd of 14 in a 2775m Craon Class F 2.5 weeks ago. Has never raced on anything but turf but has the quality to give this a good go. Place chance
  8. LOVE ME BERRY – 4th of 6 finishers in a 2825m Class F at Le Croise-Laroche on 23 June. Shoes off again but has more to find this time around
  9. LUEUR DE LOIRON – Opened her 2025 account at Jullouville-les-Pins before coming 3rd of 12 in a 2950m Vichy Class E a fortnight ago. Returns to racing left-handed and with application is unlikely to disappoint
  10. LADY DE L’ELLE – Failed to confirm Nort-sur-Erdre victory when 9th of 17 in a 2800m Rambouillet Class F on 22 June but is barefoot for the first time and should not be written off
  11. L’IDOLE DRY – Sanctioned in a 2950m Vichy Class D on 16 June. Has otherwise been in decent shape, has been reconfigured, but still cannot be considered a player
    Summary: It took LASSIE (4) 12 runs to get off the mark and then repeated just 2 weeks later; she goes barefoot again and with Alexis Collette reining, can make it 3 on the trot. She will still feel some heat from LAHANNA DESBOIS (2) who imposed comfortably at Montmirail, and the in-form LORETTE (7) who takes to a hard surface for the first time. LATINA GEDE (6) ran close to her last time out and has been reconfigured for the occasion.
    SELECTIONS
    LASSIE (4) – LAHANNA DESBOIS (2) – LORETTE (7) – LATINA GEDE (6)
    C2 – PRIX REGION PAYS DE LA LOIRE – 2775m (a1m1/2) – Class E Race – Harness – EUR € 24,000
  12. KALIMBA LOUNA – Sanctioned in last 2, most recently a 2725m Pornichet Class F on 3 July. Has previously won here but latest sanctions do nothing to inspire confidence
  13. KRISTALE TONIC – Useful mare making first start since coming 2nd of 11 in a 2300m Marseille-Borely Class E on 21 March. Is shod to preference but may be race-rusty
  14. KATINKA GEMA – Hard to fault over recent months, latterly 2nd of 15 in a 2800m Rambouillet Class F 2.5 weeks ago. Ran 3rd here on penultimate start and can again figure prominently
  15. KID DES PLEIGNES – 2nd of 7 finishers in a 2725m Class E at Grenade-sur-Garonne on 1 June. Consistently gives his best but may be taking on too much this time
  16. KADIJA MESLOISE – Quickly sanctioned in a 2800m Chartres Class E 10 days ago. Races barefoot for just 2nd time but with her mind on the game can play a small role
  17. KETMIE PRINCESSE – 8th of 17 on re-entry in a 2700m Segre Class E late last month. Barefoot this time but would be preferred at a lower level
  18. KOSTELLO DE LOU – 2nd of 12 in a 2800m Chartres Class E 10 days ago. Has bags of ability, will be at peak fitness, and is not about to let the side down
  19. KADO SURPRISE – Has hardly out a foot wrong all year, latterly winning a 2850m Lyon-Parilly Class F on 24 May. Is untried here but has shown good versatility and can impose
  20. KADEO JOSSELYN – Debuts for new trainer after easily winning a 2950m Vichy Class F a fortnight ago. Matthieu Abrivard gets the nod but still no more than a minor place prospect
  21. KENZA D’AMOUR – 6th of 7, on return to competition, in a 2850m Laval Class E on 12 June. Will have progressed for the race and should not be overlooked
  22. KINGSTON DU BOURG – Surprise 4th of 15 in a 2100m Vincennes Class E on 13 June. Maintains same shoeing formula and looks competitive for a place in the frame
  23. KENNY NELGER – Failed to make it 3 in a row when sanctioned in a 2750m Class E at La Capelle on 20 June. Could not have asked for a better entry and, unbeaten with Eric Raffin, looks a serious proposition
    Summary: A fine servant with nothing to prove at this level, KADO SURPRISE (8) steps back up in category after having imposed in Lyon and is in with a realistic shout of doubling his money. He will be directly opposed though by the well-entered KADO SURPRISE (8) who is reunited with Eric Raffin who won with him last year. KOSTELLO DE LOU (7) gave a reassuringly good account at Chartres recently and will be reined by Alexandre Abrivard. KINGSTON DU BOURG (11) has never disappointed in the day’s configuration and debuts at the venue with a good hand to play.
    SELECTIONS
    KADO SURPRISE (8) – KENNY NELGER (12) – KOSTELLO DE LOU (7) – KINGSTON DU BOURG (11)
    C3 – PRIX DES SABLES D’OLONNE AGGLOMERATION – 2650m (a1m1/2) – Class E Race – Harness – EUR € 24,000
  24. JULIA BELLA – Did not enjoy the best of trips when 5th of 13 in a 2950m Class D at Le Mans on 22 May. Is a mare of considerable ability though and although preferred barefoot is still worth monitoring
  25. JEUDI DES RACQUES – Ran 3rd at Nantes on 2 June prior to easily winning a 3150m Class D at La Roche-Posay a fortnight later. Guillaume Martin in the bike again and is unlikely to be far off the mark
  26. JOEY DU NOYER – Ran 3rd at Feurs before coming 2nd of 16 in a 2800m Rambouillet Class E 2.5 weeks ago. Has not got his head in front for 2 years but consistently gives his best and should again hold his own
  27. JOY DU RIF – 3rd at Pontchateau on 6 June before finishing 7th of 11 in a 2850m Laval Class D 3 weeks later. Reliability not her strong point and even though already a winner here, others still easier to trust
  28. JERICHO VEDAQUAIS – Won a pair in the provinces before being sanctioned in a 2175m Vincennes Class D a month ago. Set a personal best in Marseille and and from the 5-spot is not to be underestimated
  29. JASON DU PERRON – Came close to pulling off the hat-trick when beaten only by his stablemate in a 2850m Laval Class D on 12 June. Is plainly close to winning another, is reunited with Eric Raffin who has already won with him, and looks a serious player
  30. JALOUSIE MAZA – Finished last but one on comeback in a 2800m Vire Class D 2 weeks ago. Barefoot this time but still has little to contribute
  31. JOLI CHERI – 4th over 2775m here before finishing 10th of 16 behind JAVA DES CAILLONS (14) in a 2850m Laval Class D on 20 June. Will generate some interest but others still easier to back
  32. DAMADICUORI FONT – Capable Italian type but has not been seen out since being pulled-up over 2020m in Florence last February. Shoes on and best to wait
  33. HOLLYWOOD STONE – 9th of 15, on first run since last September, in a 2875m Enghien Class D mid-June. Is barefoot again but still not a concern
  34. DOUTDES – Makes French debut after running 2nd of 7 over 1660m in Bologna on 2 June. Barefoot for the occasion and will be a tough nut to crack if he takes to the new profile
  35. JADE VENESI – Ran 2nd at Angers before coming 5th of 16 in a 2550m Beaumont-de-Lomagne Class E late-April. Races shod this time however and others preferred
  36. JOB DE CHOISEL – Sanctioned, on first start since the spell, in a 2850m Laval Class D on 20 June. Is unbeaten in 2 starts with Alexis Collette who will be determined to keep that statistic valid
  37. JAVA DES CAILLONS – 4th of 16 in a 2850m Laval Class D on 20 June. Has previously won here and with Alexandre Abrivard in the bike must be considered a contender
    Summary: Remarkably performant when barefoot and focused, JOB DE CHOISEL (13) may not have been accorded the best of draws but was in cracking shape before the spell and looks the one to beat. That being said, Alexis Collette will still be keeping a watchful eye on the hardy Italian DOUTDES (11) who debuts for his new yard, and JASON DU PERRON (6) who has gone from strength to strength this term. JAVA DES CAILLONS (14) has pulled a poor number but she showed last time that she is close to her best and must be taken seriously.
    SELECTIONS
    JOB DE CHOISEL (13) – DOUTDES (11) – JASON DU PERRON (6) – JAVA DES CAILLONS (14)
    C4 – PRIX DES SABLES D’OLONNE – 2775m (a1m1/2) – Class D Race – Harness – EUR € 35,000
  38. HED – Sanctioned in a 2850m Lyon-Parilly Class E late last month. Is not everyone’s cup of tea but is no slouch when in the mood and should not be ruled out
  39. GETING – 11th of 12 in a 3000m Class F at Le Neuborg on 28 June and in this company has no realistic chance
  40. IMPACT PLAYER – Pleasant 5th of 14 in a 2650m Segre Class E 10 days ago. Stays shod for Les Sables debut and cannot be considered a priority
  41. FUN DE BANVILLE – Sanctioned in a 2650m Class F at Villeneuve-sur-Lot 10 days ago and is only here for reasons of conditioning
  42. HIPPY DE LA COUDRE – Reassuring 5th at Chartres but failed to repeat when last of 12 behind GETING (2) in a 3000m Class F at Le Neuborg on 28 June and others easier to back
  43. IPIPOURAX PAULOIS – Sanctioned when preparing for this in a 3000m Nantes Class F on 2 June. Is clearly in excellent shape though and with Eric Raffin back in the bike, looks a serious proposition
  44. GAROU LIONNAIS – Unraced since finishing last but one in a 3200m Fougeres Class F on 20 April. Barefoot for the occasion but has looked ordinary for some time and will have few friends
  45. HIP HOP DE CHENU – Ran 2nd at Thouars before coming 6th of 16 in a 2700m Graignes Class F late last month. Trainer could not have wished for a better entry and Alexis Collette will be eager to oblige. First 5
  46. INDIGO PIERJI – Considerably better than recent numbers would suggest, latterly sanctioned in a 2700m Vincennes Class C in late-May. Comes here fresh but the extra 25m will do him no favours
  47. HISTORIC DAY – Serious trotter that was sanctioned early in a 2950m Vichy Class D on 16 June. Stays shod this time and best to keep one’s powder dry
  48. IRON JET – Sanctioned in a 2975m Jallais Class E mid-June. Is new to the venue but has references at a superior level and must not be underestimated
  49. HIMBERLAND – Gave a reassuringly good account on 20 June when 2nd of 16 in a 2700m Vincennes Class D. Mathieu Mottier ably replaced here and despite the handicap still looks competitive
  50. HOLD UP DREAM – Quality element that lost his action in a 2975m Jallais Class E mid-June. Showed his form at Laval the previous month and, given a chance to express himself, will be no pushover
  51. HAPPY DANOVER – Afforded ample time to recover after having dominated a 2825m Lignieres Class E on 25 May. Imposed last time he raced barefoot and must be retained
  52. IRIS DES ROSEAUX – Good class of trotter that won a 2750m Angoulême Class E mid-June and on good behaviour can secure the 3-timer
  53. FILOU SMILING – Unable to confirm Laval performance when 9th of 10 finishers in a 2650m Alencon Class D on 1 June, and can be passed over
    Summary: Winner of his only start at the venue, the well-engaged IRIS DES ROSEAUX (15) returns to Les Sables-d’Olonne on a hat-trick and has every chance of pulling it off. He will still encounter resistance from HOLD UP DREAM (13) provided Benjamin Rochard keeps him focused, and the tricky but talented IPIPOURAX PAULOIS (6) who is shod to preference this time and Eric Raffin will be eager to take advantage of the 25m head-start. HIMBERLAND (12) got back in the game last time out and will be reunited with Alexandre Abrivard. IRON JET (11) is confirmed in good company and will not be far from the action if he stays in stride.
    SELECTIONS
    IRIS DES ROSEAUX (15) – HOLD UP DREAM (13) – IPIPOURAX PAULOIS (6) – HIMBERLAND (12)
    C5 – PRIX VENDEE LE DEPARTEMENT – 2650m (a1m1/2) – Class F Race – Harness – EUR € 27,000
  54. INDULGENTE – Back under harness after coming 2nd of 5 finishers in a 2250m Enghien monte Class D a fortnight back. Forced to start on the inside but form is not in question and will have her supporters
  55. HENAO DE VICTHI – Reassuring 2nd of 16 in a 2450m Caen Class F on 23 June. Barefoot this time, with Matthieu Abrivard reining, and from the 2-spot can make a big splash
  56. GENTLE DREAM – Unexceptional sort that was sanctioned in a 2750m Angoulême Class E on 15 June. Handed a good draw but appears to have nothing to offer
  57. ITALIA JADOR – Disappointing in last 2, most recently 8th of 12 behind GIRLY D’HUON (6) in a 2800m Vichy Class F on 14 June, and in spite of a good spot on the front line, will struggle to make her presence felt
  58. HELLO DE LOIRON – Ran 4th here on 3 June before coming 3rd of 10 in a 2800m Pontchateau Class E 12 days later. Is plainly close to his race and the Eric Raffin-factor can make all the difference
  59. GIRLY D’HUON – 6th of 12 in a 2800m Vichy Class F on 14 June, 5 days after having run close at Reims. Has never excelled in the professional ranks here but is well-positioned behind the car and can pick up a cheque
  60. INES D’ATOUT – Kicked the year off decently but has since lost her way, latterly 7th of 15 in a 3400m Orleans Class F 10 days ago, and can be confidently disregarded
  61. GINO DOLUCIO – Last of 11 in a 2950m Vichy Class D 2 weeks ago. Has been off the boil lately and, even though barefoot, can be ruled out
  62. IDEAL D’URZY – Has not been seen out since being sanctioned in a 2450m Caen monte Class F on 20 March and will have other ambitions
  63. ICARE DE LA DORETE – Last but one in a 2600m Châlons-en-Champagne Class F 2.5 weeks ago. Is plainly in good shape, has been entrusted to Alexandre Abrivard and, despite the draw, still looks a player
  64. INCOGNITO FAC – 5th of 14 in a 2650m Marseille-Vivaux Class F on 7 June. Has 2 runs under his belt and will not be far off the mark if his driver manages to defy the draw
  65. IF DE LA COUDRE – Reassuring 4th of 16 to HISTOIRE DE LIERRE (13) in a 2800m Pontchateau amateurs Class G on 28 June. Is proven also in the professional ranks and despite the draw should not be written off
  66. HISTOIRE DE LIERRE – Comfortable winner of a 2800m Pontchateau amateurs Class G on 28 June. Faces a much tougher task this time and is unlikely to shake things up
  67. IMPERIAL DE FORGAN – Pleasant 2nd in Morlaix before finishing last of 8 in a 2100m Vincennes amateurs Class F a fortnight ago, and the draw only compounds matters
  68. HAPPY DU LAS VEGAS – Sanctioned on re-entry in a 2600m amateurs Class H at La Roche-sur-Yon mid-June. Preparing for a campaign in the other code and has nothing to contribute
  69. INCISIF VAUCEEN – 7th of 12 after having been denied a run in a 2700m Vincennes Class D on 20 June. Top pilot in the bike this time and must be considered a leading contender
    Summary: Reliability may not be his strong suit and he may not have won since September 2023, but INCISIF VAUCEEN (16) will be partnered by Benjamin Rochard for the occasion and can win this if positioned early. Opposition will come from the considerably better-placed, and reconfigured, HENAO DE VICTHI (2) who has been firing on all cylinders, and the similarly in-form HELLO DE LOIRON (5) who runs with front shoes off this time. ICARE DE LA DORETE (10) should not be hastily condemned for his recent snafu.
    SELECTIONS
    INCISIF VAUCEEN (16) – HENAO DE VICTHI (2) – HELLO DE LOIRON (5) – ICARE DE LA DORETE (10)
    C6 – PRIX STAND ANIMATION PMU – 2775m (a1m1/2) – Class F Race – Mounted – EUR € 21,000
  70. ITALIA HAUFOR – Starts for first time since finishing 9th of 13 in a 2800m Cholet Class F on 13 May and has no realistic chance
  71. JOSCAN KERDREUX – Lost his action in a 2725m Pornichet harness Class G last week. Has done nothing noteworthy for some time and can be ruled out
  72. IBACA – 5th of 8 in a 2450m Castillonnès Class F 2.5 weeks ago. Runs barefoot this time but others still preferred
  73. JAGUAR DE MONE – Good, consistent type that ran 3rd of 11 in a 2600m Class F at La Roche-sur-Yon mid-June. Is clearly in rude health and even though taking on better this time can still get a look in
  74. IRPIEU DE VARVILLE – Last but one in a 2750m Elbeuf Class H 2.5 weeks ago. No longer the campaigner he once was and is unlikely to spring any surprises
  75. INES DE MAJEAN – Sanctioned when being prepared for this in a 2950m Vichy harness Class F a fortnight ago. Has never excelled under the saddle here and would be preferred barefoot
  76. JOKER DES BORDES – Last of 11 behind JUHELLET (10) in a 2700m Avranches harness conditioner mid-June. Faces 2nd goal of the summer and with application should logically oblige
  77. JUPITER DE VAL – Quality element but sanctioned in last 3, most recently a 2825m Sablé-sur-Sarthe Class F on 29 June. Has no particular love for the venue but the engagement of Benjamin Rochard will do his prospects no disservice
  78. JAEGER MAN – Missed the break and was subsequently sanctioned, on debut for new handler, in a 3225m Montmirail Class H 10 days ago. Top jockey aboard this time and is not to be underestimated
  79. JUHELLET – Back under the saddle after finishing last of 7 in a 2625m Cherbourg harness Class F late-May. Seldom lets the side down in this branch of the game and looks main threat to JOKER DES BORDES (7)
  80. JAMY – Pleased here in early-June but disappointing in 2 since, latterly sanctioned in a 2825m Sable-Su-Sarthe Class F 10 days ago. Talented jockey in the irons this time and will be dangerous if he keeps his charge trotting
  81. JUSQUIAME – Finished well to come 3rd of 12 in a 2750m Class F at La Capelle on 20 June. Reliability not her strong suit but enjoys a terrific entry and must be retained
    Summary: A serious sort under the saddle, JOKER DES BORDES (7) flew up at Nantes before being prepped under harness and, shod to preference this time, looks the pick of the field. Clément Frecelle will still need to be mindful of the reconfigured JUHELLET (10) who boasts solid ridden references, and JAEGER MAN (9) who is unlikely to take much time delivering for his new handler. JAMY (11) may not be the easiest of horses to handle but he pleased here last month and has been entrusted to Alexis Collette.
    SELECTIONS
    JOKER DES BORDES (7) – JUHELLET (10) – JAEGER MAN (9) – JAMY (11)
    C7 – PRIX DE LA SOCIETE DU TROTTEUR FRANCAIS – 2775m (a1m1/2) – Class F Race – Harness – EUR € 18,000
  82. L’ETONNANT TONIC – Put in a good effort to run 6th of 13 behind LOYAL DU PONT (5) in a 2650m Class F here on 3 June. Should be fully-fit by now and is unlikely to go home empty-handed
  83. LEON STONE – Starts for first time since running 12th of 14 in a 2850m Mauquenchy Class E last November and is going to need the race
  84. LENNON ELLIS – Honest type that always gives his best but will need to improve on recent 5th of 9 finishers, a place behind LOCTON DE KERYANN (7), in a 2775m Craon Class F 2.5 weeks ago
  85. LEWIS GO – Got off the mark at Nort-sur-Erdre before running 4th of 10 finishers in a 2675m Erbray Class F on 7 June. Hind shoes off this time and seems thoroughly capable of finishing in the mix
  86. LOYAL DU PONT – Made up for re-entry sanction when 3rd of 13 in a 2650m Class F here on 3 June. Eric Raffin back in the bike and can be confident of a big performance. Claim
  87. LISANDRO FIORELLO – Looked very ordinary when 8th of 11 in a 2800m Pontchateau Class E on 5 June. Reverts to a previous formula but others still preferred
  88. LOCTON DE KERYANN – Lost his maiden status at Nort-sur-Erdre a month back before coming 4th of 9 finishers in a 2775m Craon Class F 2.5 weeks ago. Sports modified shoeing and should be able to hold his own
  89. LORD OF WOOD – Sanctioned in last 3, most recently a 2150m Vichy Class E 2 weeks ago. Won twice earlier in the year when shod and with application can play a leading role
  90. LUXURY DU DOUAROU – Not disgraced when 5th of 13 in a 2800m Vire Class F 2 weeks ago. Has ground to make up but can still get a look in
  91. LUGANO DE HOUELLE – Sanctioned when prepping for this in a 2600m Class F at La Roche-Posay mid-June. Has been freshly-configured and will be no easy touch if Antoine Wiels keeps him focused
  92. LABEL MAGIC – Has hardly put a foot wrong all season, most recently 2nd of 14 in a 2975m Jallais Class F on 13 June. Is clearly in cracking form and while unlikely to impose, can still challenge for a place on the podium
  93. LARPENT CELESTE – Encouraged at La Roche-Posay mid-June but failed to confirm a fortnight later when 10th of 12 in a 2825m Sablé-sur-Sarthe Class F, and is unlikely to trouble the judge
  94. LIEUTENANT COLUMBO – Returns to the venue after running 5th of 12 in a 2800m Chartres Class E 10 days ago. Enjoys a good entry but a repeat seems unlikely
    Summary: Although still somewhat green, LOYAL DU PONT (5) has demonstrated very good aptitude for the game, showed his form here last month, and with application can open his 2025 account. He will still be taking on the complicated but talented, and reconfigured, LUGANO DE HOUELLE (10) who has a pair of runs in him since the layoff, and a shod LORD OF WOOD (8) for whom it is always a case of all-or-nothing. LABEL MAGIC (11) has earned the right to race in this category and in current condition is easy to like.
    SELECTIONS
    LOYAL DU PONT (5) – LUGANO DE HOUELLE (10) – LORD OF WOOD (8) – LABEL MAGIC (11)
    C8 – PRIX DES SOCIETES DE COURSES DE VENDEE – 2775m (a1m1/2) – Class F Race – Harness – EUR € 18,000
  95. MIL’S DE BAILLE – Qualified in 1’19″5 in Grosbois last November. Hails from a yard going good-guns and is unlikely to disappoint
  96. MARCUS BERRY – Lost his action early in a 2800m Chartres Class D 3 weeks ago. Is not easy to handle but can figure prominently if he gets off on the right foot
  97. MATADOR DU PALAIS – Sanctioned in a 2750m Elbeuf Class G 2.5 weeks ago. Eric Raffin has accepted the drive and will unsurprisingly generate interest
  98. MERCATO MESLOIS – Pleasant 4th on debut before being sanctioned in a 2700m Segre Class G on 14 June but seems to be taking on too much
  99. MARTEL PIERJI – Made up for debut sanction when 4th of 11 finishers in a 2850m Laval Class F on 20 June. Should take well to the new profile and with application will be competitive for the win
  100. MAESTRO DE BRION – Produced a decent performance, despite stride woes, to run 4th of 8 in a 2200m Vichy Class F on 24 June. Will have come on for the run and will be expected to contest the finish this time
  101. MIRACLE DE SAMCOF – Unremarkable 6th of 9 finishers in a 2225 Moulins Class G 10 days ago and is not about to create an upset
  102. MAC TYSON – Pleasant 3rd of 10 on re-entry in a 2475m Royan Class F a month ago but is being aimed too high
  103. MUSTANG DE PEBRISY – Failed to confirm promising Vitre run when last but one in a 2275m Craon Class F on 23 June, and can expect to remain friendless in the markets
  104. MONTJOIE – Placed in 2, sanctioned in 2, most recently faulting in a 2525m Class E at Les Andelys on 15 June. A pilot in the bike this time and on good behaviour can again make the frame
  105. MAN IN LOVE – Made up somewhat for Nort-sur-Erdre sanction when 4th of 7 finishers in a 2600m Class G at La Roche-sur-Yon 10 days ago. Has more to find but is not devoid of ability and should not be written off
    Summary: Nicely-bred, and very businesslike at Laval recently, MARTEL PIERJI (5) clearly has the wherewithal to win a race of this nature, but Ludovic Peltier will be justifiably wary of MAESTRO DE BRION (6) who will have come on for his Vichy bow, and the promising MONTJOIE (10) who has been entrusted to Benjamin Rochard for the first time. Although sanctioned in his last 3, MARCUS BERRY (2) has ample potential and is unlikely to disappoint if Romain Congard keeps him trotting.

    R3 SENONNES-POUANCE [R-H]

C1 – PX DU GPMT DES ARTISANS DE ST-AIGNAN-S-ROE – C. DE HAIES DE SENONNES – 3600m (a2m1/4) – TURF – Class 2 Race – Hurdles – EUR € 28,000

  1. OULALA DES BRIERES – Two solid efforts, a win on the latest of them at Nantes on June 17th over 3500m in a Class 3 hurdle. Won nicely last time and looks progressive
  2. DREAM FILLY – Good form on the flat and over hurdles recently, two 2nd placed runs and two wins, her latest 2nd at Cholet on June 30th over 3400m in a Class 3 hurdle. One to consider
  3. HELSINJO – 6th on the one run over 3000m in a hurdle race at Jallais on June 13th. He will improve and warrants consideration
  4. MARCHEAVANT SIVOLA – Unraced gelding by Jeu St Eloi, the dam was placed several times over jumps. From a good trainer who knows the time of day. Watch the betting patterns for clues
  5. FUN VERT – One unplaced run over 3400m at Clairefontaine on June 17th over hurdles. Showed ability on debut and can give a good account of himself.
  6. MISSDENUO – Ran well when she was 2nd on her debut over 3500m in a Class 3 race at Nantes on June 17th. She can improve from that and will play a lead role
    Summary: MISSDENUO (6) ran a promising second on debut over 3500m at Nantes on June 17th in a Class 3 hurdle. She is expected to improve from that effort and can open her account. OULALA DES BRIÈRES (1), who beat her by 2.5L that day, now concedes two kilos, which could tilt the balance in favour of the former. FUN VERT (5) showed potential on debut, and will improve from that run and should be in the mix.

  7. CHEAP – Unplaced last time, a win before that over 3400m at Nort-Sur-Erdre in a claiming chase on May 8th. She has won over hurdles before, but needs a few to falter
  8. OPERA GARNIER – Two 3rd placed runs of late, the latter over 3700m at Le Lion D’Angers on June 8th in a Class 3 hurdle. One of the leading chances
  9. MANIYSA BLEUE – Two unplaced runs this year, the latter over 3800m at Dieppe in a handicap hurdle on June 12th. Placed in a Listed hurdle last April, and can be too smart for her rivals
  10. LET US BREATHE – Two unplaced runs of late, a win before that over 3600m at Argentan on October 20th in a Class 4 hurdle. Can be opposed
  11. PLEIN SUD – One unplaced run over 3550m in a hurdle race at Fontainebleau on March 29th. Others preferred
  12. LEVY – Unraced gelding by Free Eagle, the dam won 1 race over hurdles. Stable runners warrant respect, and the betting can be the best guide
  13. SAINT ROBIN – Two unplaced runs of late, 2nd on his debut on March 30th at Saumur in a Class 4 flat race. Second run over hurdles
  14. BATHYMOON – Two solid runs this year, 3rd over fences over 3400m in a Class 4 chase on June 15th at Pontchateau on the latest of them. She won over hurdles last year. Player
  15. LORCA EMERY – Ran well when 4th over 3650m in a Class 4 hurdle at Mont-de-Marsan on April 27th. She can improve and has place claims at big odds
    Summary: MANIYSA BLEUE (3) looks well-placed by connections to shed her maiden tag. She finished fourth in a Listed hurdle last year and has competed in stronger company on her last two starts. OPERA GARNIER (2) has posted two solid third-place efforts since winning on hurdle debut at Angers in December and is a clear danger. LEVY (6) has an appealing profile and is worth monitoring in the betting. BATHYMOON (8) is another to consider.

  24. TZAPANO – 3rd on his one run over 4200m at Pontchateau on June 28th in a Class 4 chase. Among the leading each way options
  25. TILIN TALAN – Unplaced last time, a nice 3rd before that over 3900m in a Class 3 handicap on March 8th at Auteuil. Unlikely to threaten the principles
    Summary: KREEDENCE (4) has performed well on her last three starts, the latter when scoring at Chateaubriant on June 25th in a Class 3 handicap hurdle. She is marginally preferred ahead of KRAKEN (2), who ran a decent race at Dieppe in early June when he was third over hurdles. KITO PAM (6) is worth looking at from an each-way angle, he won over fences on his latest start 11 days ago at Pontchateau. TZAPANO (9) heads the remainder.

  32. NEPETA – Unraced filly by Anodin, the dam won 3 races, two on the flat and one over hurdles. Nice profile, and is worth considering
    Summary: AGIOTA (2) has performed well on his last three runs, a decent second on the most recent at Marseille Borely in early June in a Class 2 race. He can show his rivals a clean pair of heels. RADIANT (3) won on her penultimate start at Angers in a Class 3 event in late April and could be the one to give the selection the most to think about. SBIKHA (4) is consistent and can be expected to be on the premises. NEPETA (7) has a nice pedigree and is worth a market check on debut.

  38. MAFIA DES MOTTES – Ran well to be 3rd over 2400m in a conditions race on June 8th at Le Lion D’Angers. Each way option
  39. MISS DU LARGE – Unraced filly by Pastorius, the dam won 2 races. Likely to need this run for experience, and a market check is advisable
  40. MAKALEO – Credible 3rd on her one run over 2600m in a conditions race on June 15th. She can improve and merits consideration
    Summary: MAGIC BEDE (1) won on debut at Durtal early last month, despite showing signs of greenness. He will know more this time and is given the vote ahead of another promising type in MAIN TENDUE (5), who was also a winner on debut, when she got the job done at Morlaix over 2600m in mid-June. Both look like they can dominate the finish. MAFIA DES MOTTES (6) is one to include in all of the place bet permutations, and MASTER BLASTER (3) is another that warrants respect.

    Summary: PRINCE DES VILLES (1) is in excellent form, having won twice over 2100m in Class 3 handicaps at this track in March and April. He can complete the hat-trick. MOOR MALPIC (8) is the main danger, second-highest rated, and well-treated by the conditions. COLGAN SENORA (2) needs to improve on his two runs this year, but is capable of making an impact. DJHANSY (6) is another to consider for the shortlist.

  59. L’AGORA GAME – Placed on the last three runs, 3rd on the most recent over 3700m at Nantes in a Class 4 handicap. Consistent performer and a strong stayer
    Summary: SUPER ALEX (1) is overdue another win after some credible efforts. He has been supplemented for this race and can get the better of SAKURACHAN (8), who could be the main danger. She is better than what she has shown in three starts this year. Having eased in the handicap, she is respected. MAGIC VATI (10) is racing off a favoured weight and was a decent fourth at Corlay late last month on his last run. SILLABUB (2) is also worth a mention.

STEPASIDE BELL (6) has been in top form recently, and another good performance can be expected. INCA MAN (2) can strip fitter for a recent run, and is worth considering

    Summary: INTELLITA (4) arrives after a decent second in a conditions race at Dieppe in mid-June and can go one better this time. She is preferred ahead of FLUTE EN SOL (1), who has to deal with the top weight. She has performed well on her last two runs when finishing third, and is overdue for success. POPORO (2) won on his last appearance at Chantilly in mid-June and is a genuine performer who can be relied on. WHAT A FAIR FOOT (10) is another that can have a say in proceedings.

  31. DROIT DE PAROLE – Finished eighth over 1400m at Chantilly in Class 3 Handicap on 13 March. May need this outing

    Summary: GREY MAN (3) comes off a good second-place finish at Compiegne on 30 May. Mickael Barzalona rides and he can win a race of this nature. LANAKEN (1) finished second in a Class 2 Handicap on 22 May. If putting his best foot forward, he should throw out a big challenge. MR FLEURANT (7) is having his third outing this year. He finished fourth on this course last time and must be considered. TERRITORYWAR (5) finished third in Spain last time and returns from France. Maxime Guyon rides and he cannot be discounted.

FILE INDIENNE (9) has produced two fair efforts this season and with Christian Demuro engaged, there is every reason to believe that she will improve further. STAY AROUND (8) had his first go on French soil last time out and can take a step forward on that run.

    Summary: LIENESSE (2) has been lightly raced thus far and jumps off the page as a notably improver. He gets the services of Mikael Barzalona and he could be ready to strike. CHANAZ (5) wasn’t entirely disgraced last time out and his rating looks to be on an attractive mark which could see him popping up. LA MAZZI GOGO (9) arrives in excellent touch and on form figures is the one to beat. She should go well. BORN TO WIN (6) is seldom far off the action and can get in the act.

    Summary: LOLLIPOP DES PINS (11) has shown to be very capable but just isn’t the most reliable sort around. Her rating is on the right mark and she slots in with a handy galloping weight which should see her featuring strongly. MEISHO BONHEUR (6) has been a model of consistency and can certainly return to winning ways over a suitable trip. KEEN APPROACH (9) hasn’t been at best this year but with another top jockey in the irons, he keeps one interested and could pop up. SHALOHA (5) was a winner two starts back and a repeat performance will see her mounting a challenge.

She can go one better. LA PAMPA (1) has not been reliable but is capable of being a danger. SICILIAN THREAT (6) has yet to win but is in good form and should be competitive again.

  66. L’HOTELLERIE – Very consistent and was runner-up in a conditions race at Salon-de-Provence over 2000m on 28 November. Returns from a break but has a winning chance
  67. KARINATA – Has only been modest so far and was 6th in a conditions at Langon over 1800m on 23 June. Has yet to win and others are preferred
  68. VEGA D’AUMONT – Finished 7th in a conditions maiden at Hyeres over 1850m on 4 June. Capable of improvement but others are preferred
    Summary: L’HOTELLERIE (5) was very consistent last year and showed a high level of form. She returns from a break in a decent field but can take out this lucky last race if fit. ROOFTOP (2) has been unreliable this year but did get close to winning in her penultimate start. LINARIA (3) bounced back to her best with a good win at Lyon-Parilly and is clearly not out of it. PESTACLE (1) can also be a danger over this distance.
    SELECTIONS – L’HOTELLERIE (5) – ROOFTOP (2) – LINARIA (3) – PESTACLE (1)
