French Selections Friday 19th

R1 VINCENNES [L-H]

C1 – PRIX MELPOMENE – 2700m (a1m1/2) – Class C – Harness – EUR € 53,000

KAISER RIVER – Won a claimer over 2100m here 2.5 weeks ago, then ran 5th in a Caen Quinte, but under these conditions will have nothing to offer
KLASSICA BLEUE – Complicated mare that failed to confirm Enghien victory when eliminated at Savigny-sur-Braye on 7 June and others easier to back
KINGSTON DE BLARY – Useful type that made amends for his late-May blip when runner-up to KOSY D’ERONVILLE (6) in a 2100m Class D here 2 weeks ago. Is not a priority but in this small field can pick up some prizemoney
KOUREAS D’ELA – Made it 2 on the trot when dominating a 3000m Nantes Class F on 1 June. Will face opposition as she vies for the three-timer but must still be afforded considerable respect
KALINE DU LOCHEUR – Gave a good account on re-entry at Argentan a month ago when 3rd in a 2875m Class D, but still represents no more than an outside chance
KOSY D’ERONVILLE – Has thrived at Vincennes this term and won last 2 races, both over 2100m. Is less-performant over 2700m but in current condition is hard to ignore
KEROSEN DU GERS – Unlucky to lose his action here on 13 May but redeemed himself with a powerful victory at Le Mont-Saint-Michel 3.5 weeks ago and looks a serious player once more
KING GEORGES – No slouch on a good day but starts for the first time in 2.5 months and is unlikely to upset the status quo
KALINE DE VIVOIN – Complicated but talented mare that showed her form at Laval last week. Trainer could not have wished for a better entry and she can win this if Eric Raffin keeps her trotting
Summary: She may never be far from losing her action but KALINE DE VIVOIN (9) imposed well at Laval on just her second start back. She has already won 4 times for Eric Raffin who will be hopeful of adding another victory to her tally. That being said, KEROSEN DU GERS (7) has won 4 of his last 5 starts and the same caveat applies to Enzo Lelièvre. KOUREAS D’ELA (4) has won 3 of her last 4 and a repeat of her Nantes performance would see her finish close. KOSY D’ERONVILLE (6) has excelled here with Alexis Collette reining and although better over shorter should nevertheless be considered a player.
SELECTIONS
KALINE DE VIVOIN (9) – KEROSEN DU GERS (7) – KOUREAS D’ELA (4) – KOSY D’ERONVILLE (6)
C2 – PRIX CLEMENTINA – 2850m (a2m) – Class E – Harness – EUR € 52,000
BEENTHERESEENTHAT – Ran 5th, a place behind DAYAK (ITY) (11), in a 2700m Class D here on 6 June. Is better than that though and can contest a place on the podium this time
CASSIUS CLAY D.E. – Modest trotter back under harness after being eliminated under the saddle at Lisieux 12 days ago and can be ignored
UN MEC PAASLOO – Enjoyed a productive winter but has since lost his way and even with shoes off will have little to offer
CANTAB AS – Got the spring off to a decent start but has since come off the boil. Alexis Collette in the bike this time but others still preferred
VINCI NICE – Pleased in 2 before finishing 8th in 6 June race of reference and can be confidently passed over
IMPACT PLAYER – Returned to victorious ways at Lignieres late last month, securing a 2775m Class E. A repeat seems unlikely but he tends to appreciate the distance and can play a small role
MULBERRY (SWE) – Has failed to deliver since returning to France last month. Goes barefoot this time though, with Yoann Lebourgeois reining, and is worth keeping an eye on
COMES WITH AGE – Has not passed the post in front for some time but is plainly nearing his best. Will be reined by Alexandre Abrivard for the first time and is easy to like for a place in the picture
DILVA JET – Reliability not her strong suit but was by no means disgraced behind DAYAK (ITY) (11) in a 2700m Class D here on 6 June. Is unlikely to set off any fireworks but can nevertheless make first 5
DADA DEL RONCO – Capable type with a pair of races under her belt since the winter break. Is confirmed over course and distance but represents a minor place prospect at best
DAYAK (ITY) – Useful servant that showed marked improvement in a 2700m Class D here on 6 June. Has nothing to prove under these conditions, is ideally-engaged, and can give JALOUZ D’OLIVERIE (12) something to think about
JALOUZ D’OLIVERIE – Quality individual that has so far failed to deliver this season. Goes well for Eric Raffin though and will be well-backed to win this
Summary: Rather disappointing so far this term, JALOUZ D’OLIVERIE (12) will be reunited with Eric Raffin who won his last 2 starts with her, benefits from a terrific entry, and given her liking for these conditions is easy to fancy for the spoils. The champion driver will still be keeping a keen eye on DAYAK (ITY) (11) who has form over course and distance, and a freshly reconfigured COMES WITH AGE (8) who is due a win one of these days. BEENTHERESEENTHAT (1) showed improvement here 2 weeks ago and is not incapable of making the frame this time.
SELECTIONS
JALOUZ D’OLIVERIE (12) – DAYAK (ITY) (11) – COMES WITH AGE (8) – BEENTHERESEENTHAT (1)
C3 – PRIX OKDA – 2850m (a2m) – Class D – Harness – EUR € 46,000
FRISEE KB FONT – 10th of 13 in race of reference, on first target of the season. Goes barefoot again and is unlikely to trouble the judge
FEDORA KEY COL – Useful at home in Italy but found the going a bit too tough here last month and can be ruled out
LISBETH DRY – Failed to confirm last month’s performance when 8th behind SECRET OF LAW (16) here a week ago and has no possible chance
SEVEN SEAS S – Placed in 3 before finishing 7th behind FAST FURIOUS COL (14) in a 2100m Class E here in mid-May. Has not raced since but will be barefoot for the occasion and must not be overlooked
DUKE OF NEW YORK – Takes to 2850m for the first time after twice acquitting himself well over shorter here. Mathieu Mottier in the bike for the occasion and has every chance of making first 5
TAURUS CROWN – Ran 2nd over 2700m here on 6 May but failed to deliver in race of reference 9 days later, and others easier to support
ORANGE CRUSH – 4th in 15 May race of reference before winning at Wolvega 2 weeks ago. Is reunited with Matthieu Abrivard who ran 2nd with him last year and is unlikely to be far from the action
FIABA DEL RONCO – Always gives her best, and pleasantly surprised here on 22 May, however a repeat seems most improbable
FEDE JET – Has just the one race under her belt since the 2.5 months break, but has form under these conditions and Franck Nivard is back in the bike
FRENCHCONNECTION – Has lost his way since winning a 2700m Class E here 4 months ago and must first re-establish his credentials
LAST DES BROUSSES – Ran 4th at Le Croise-Laroche before being disqualified, and was then soundly-beaten here 2 weeks ago. No chance
LITTLE DU RIB – Honest mare that always gives what she can, most recently 4th in a 2700m Class D here on 26 May. Has raced and placed under these conditions but still looks a minor place chance at best
LADY DE VANDEL – Has ample ability but has failed to make any impact so far this year and is not about to start now
FAST FURIOUS COL – Defied his odds mid-May when 3rd of 13 in a 2100m Class E here. Has had a month to get back in shape, enjoys a good entry, and can impose
LOLA DU CLOS – Has been showing more in the provinces these days, and was trounced over track and trip a month back. Disregard
SECRET OF LAW – Runner-up in last 2, most recently setting personal best in a 2100m Class D here a week ago. Beaten only by a very good horse that day and could well get his nose in front this time
LITTLE CASH – Won 2 in a row before being sent for a layup. Gave a good account on Rambouillet comeback and will be in race-mode this time
LOGO DE BERTRANGE – Took no time getting back down to business following his layoff, courageously winning a Lyon-Parilly Class E on 26 April. Has been held back for this superb entry and is unlikely to go home empty-handed
Summary: No one horse stands out in this highly-competitive field, but preference nevertheless goes to Italian raider FAST FURIOUS COL (14) who beat a host of these horses over 2100m in mid-May. SECRET OF LAW (16) ran 5th that day and has gone close twice since. ORANGE CRUSH (7) separated the pair of them that day before winning at Victoria Park, and can again figure prominently, but may first have to see off the well-engaged LITTLE CASH (17) who goes barefoot for his first objective since the spell. DUKE OF NEW YORK (5) has hardly put a foot out of line this year and the new trip may be just what the doctor ordered.
SELECTIONS
FAST FURIOUS COL (14) – SECRET OF LAW (16) – LITTLE CASH (17) – ORANGE CRUSH (7)
C4 – PRIX RHODOPE – 2700m (a1m1/2) – Class D – Harness – EUR € 59,000
HEAVEN D’ECAJEUL – Has not won for some time but regularly gives his best. Has been pleasing in the provinces lately but will still need to find more
IRON MIJACK – Modest trotter with better prospects in the claiming category and can be confidently ruled out
GITANO JACK – Produced a pair of good efforts here last month prior to being eliminated early 2 weeks ago. Form is not in question though and can make amends
ISOLEE DU BOUILLON – Has turned a corner since returning to Vincennes, placing in last 2, most recently runner-up to IENISSE DE BARBRAY (6) in a 2850m Class D. Is clearly on the right road but whether she can best HENRIQUE (11) remains to be seen
HIPPOCRATE DU TRIO – Has been disappointing for the most part this term and in this company will struggle to make his mark
IENISSE DE BARBRAY – Left a very good impression here 3 weeks ago when dominating a 2850m Class D. Has had ample time to come on and has a reasonable chance of bringing the fight to HENRIQUE (11)
HENZO DE CARSI – No slouch on a good day and is confirmed here but latest results do little to inspire confidence
HELMA DE BUSSET – Got the season off to a good start but has done little of note since, latterly 6th in a Salon-de-Provence Class C a month back, and will have few takers
IN RACE LORRAINE – Difficult mare that was sent for a break after winning 2 straight in March. Is never easy to gauge but is barefoot for return to the track and, if applied, will be competitive for a first-5 payout
HADRIEN – Unexceptional type that looked rather ordinary on re-entry early this month. Is barefoot this time but still not a concern
HENRIQUE – Has been firing on all cylinders since mid-March. Was most impressive in last 2, is hard to knock under these conditions when focused, and is easy to like for the win
IDEM DU PONT – Returns to France following a number of good runs at home in Switzerland. Has no particular love for these conditions though and can be passed over
IRISH NICE ELGE – Ran surprise 3rd at Laon before being eliminated at Le Croise-Laroche 2.5 weeks ago and will have nothing to contribute
INDOCILE – Returns to the capital after a fruitless stint in the provinces. Presents solid barefoot references however and the good entry stands him in good stead
FULL CASH DE PADD – Veteran trotter that is past his prime. Has just the one race in him since the winter break and can be ruled out
IMAGE D’ATALANTE – Produced her personal best reduction when close 2nd in a 2100m Class D here a week ago. Cannot be considered a priority but in current condition cannot be discounted either
INTELLO DE CHENU – Well-engaged here but has not been at his sharpest lately and looks a minor place chance at best
IGGY ROCK – Showed improvement when 4th of 12 in a Class D at Beaumont-de-Lomagne on 23 May, but has raced just once here and is unlikely to spring any surprises
Summary: Winner over 2850m here in early-May, HENRIQUE (11) finished 2nd over 2100m just 9 days later, and in so doing set his personal best reduction. He boasts an excellent record with Mathieu Mottier and looks thoroughly capable of winning this. Excellent when barefoot, IENISSE DE BARBRAY (6) imposed here 3 weeks ago and seldom disappoints with Eric Raffin reining. Runner-up to him that day, ISOLEE DU BOUILLON (4) will not be available at 28-1 this time. Surprise 4th place, GITANO JACK (3) was eliminated next time but returns to racing barefoot and should not be far off the mark. Impressive here in early-April when barefoot for the last time, INDOCILE (14) will be able to give this a good go.
SELECTIONS
HENRIQUE (11) – IENISSE DE BARBRAY (6) – ISOLEE DU BOUILLON (4) – GITANO JACK (3)
C5 – PRIX LA KERMESSE FESTIVAL (PRIX TERPSICHORE) – 2700m (a1m1/2) – Class C – Harness – EUR € 46,000
MEWTWO – Has endured an interrupted career and is behind in earnings. Sports a new formula but others still preferred
MAXOU DES IFS – Unexceptional element that has so far failed to make any impact this term and even with Eric Raffin reining can be ignored
MAJOR DE TIMM – Put a pair of sanctions behind him to secure a 2100m Class D here a fortnight back. JMB reins once more and will be competitive when it matters
MAGIC JOHN – Twice a winner over course and distance earlier in the year. Is clearly in good shape, and will be first-time barefoot, but is being aimed too high this time
MAJOR DU BISTON – Capable colt going barefoot for the first time since the break, but at this level will have too much to do
MOURILLON – Made up for Vincennes blip when 3rd to MERCURE D’ELLE (11) in a 2850m Laval Class C on 3 June. Is unlikely to win this but still has the wherewithal to challenge for a place in the picture
MISTI DE CORDAY – Made up for comeback elimination when 3rd in a Class C over track and trip a month ago. Goes barefoot again and could pleasantly surprise if kept trotting
MILTON DU NOYER – Classy individual that has won 5 of 6 career starts. Failed to deliver on sole main-track run but is a cut above the field and, with application, should have this in the bag
MARQUIS DU CHENE – Regularly in the thick of things when focused. Eliminated in last 3 but Alexandre Abrivard stays faithful and it is only a matter of time before his colt comes good again
MONEY CASH – Moderate colt starting for the first time since late-December and can be passed over
MERCURE D’ELLE – Put on quite the show to win a Laval Class C early this month. Gets his first chance to race barefoot and could well apply the pressure on MILTON DU NOYER (8)
MARS COBBA – Got back in the game here 2.5 weeks ago, coming 2nd in a 2850m Class C. Benjamin Rochard takes over in the bike and considering the entry must be taken seriously
Summary: Winner of both starts this term, MILTON DU NOYER (8) romped up at Enghien last time out; she has been afforded a short rest and returns to Vincennes the obvious choice. Sporting a fresh configuration for the occasion, the good MERCURE D’ELLE (11) imposed over course and distance earlier in the year, and given current form is easy too fancy for a place on the podium. MAJOR DE TIMM (3) showed tenacity to impose over 2100m here 2 weeks ago, is first-time barefoot, and looks a serious proposition. MOURILLON (6) ran 3rd to Thibault Borderie’s horse earlier this month and is eminently capable of repeating.

MILTON DU NOYER (8) – MERCURE D’ELLE (11) – MAJOR DE TIMM (3) – MOURILLON (6)
C6 – PRIX CYBELE – 2700m (a1m1/2) – Class D – Mounted – EUR € 40,000
MARBELLA CHAFS – Winner over track and trip last season. Has just one run under her belt since the lengthy layoff and even though barefoot is not an obvious choice
MAJUSCULE – Moderate filly that has failed to make much of an impact this term and will have her work cut out
MELBA DU PADOUENG – Has demonstrated quite a liking for the discipline, most recently imposing at Montauban, but is pitted against better this time and will struggle to make her presence felt
MEANDRE DE VANDEL – Was barefoot for the first time when imposing on comeback last month. Will have progressed for the race, returns to Vincennes with morale on a high, and looks a major player
MONSTER SPEED – Is not without merit but has been a handful since returning to competition. Is reunited with Eric Raffin for the occasion and can pick up a cheque if he keeps his charge trotting
MONTGENEVE – Acquits himself well for the most part in this branch of the business. Somewhat below-par in last 2 though and chances appear limited
MAMMA MIA DE LOU – Never far from losing her action but opened her monte account over course and distance on penultimate outing. Will appreciate returning to racing left-handed and on good behaviour can make this her own
MAGUEN DAIRPET – Won over course and distance earlier in the year but has placed just once in 7 subsequent starts. Goes barefoot with Benjamin Rochard in the irons, but others still easier to back
MOJITO DES ECUS – Not the easiest of horses to use but presents solid references under these conditions and will not be far from the action if Matheiu Mottier keeps him focused
MID DANCER – Showed form earlier in the season but disappointing in last 2, and in this category will have too much to do
MATA HARI – Displayed very good aptitude for the game earlier this year. Eliminated on comeback under harness but has won 1 of 2 with Adrien Lamy who will be expecting to contest the finish
MALLAURY D’AVEL – Showed good aptitude for the code, and for the main track, over the winter. Has just one race in her since the break but Alexis Collette will be back onboard and can challenge for a place in first 5
MUST D’HERMES – Quality element with a race under his belt following the winter layoff. Has never failed to deliver for Anthony Barrier who can be forgiven for feeling bullish. Place chance
Summary: Winner over course and distance in late-April, MAMMA MIA DE LOU (7) lost her action at Caen next time, but is better than most here, will be barefoot, and can redeem herself if Paul Ploquin gets her off on the right foot. Winner under the saddle at the first time of asking, MATA HARI (11) will be shod as she was when imposing here that day and looks the principal danger. After 6 months off the track, MEANDRE DE VANDEL (4) imposed on re-entry at Le Mans last month and will have come on for the run. Very much at home under these conditions, and nicely-entered here, MUST D’HERMES (13) sports a fresh configuration for return to the code and must be taken seriously.
SELECTIONS
MAMMA MIA DE LOU (7) – MATA HARI (11) – MEANDRE DE VANDEL (4) – MUST D’HERMES (13)
C7 – PRIX EURYKLEIA – 2700m (a1m1/2) – Class C – Harness – EUR € 46,000
MY LOVELY EBONY – Unplaced in race of reference but has otherwise been in fine form. Stays shod for the occasion though and best to hold off
MILADY DE MONTCEAU – Won across town in March and acquitted herself decently in next two, but takes on some good elements this time and chances appear limited
MONEY MONEY PIYA – Has not been seen out since winning a monte Class C here in early-February and will have other ambitions
MANHATTAN FRANCE – Got the year off to an excellent start but has been out of sorts since April and can expect to have few friends
MERRY RIVER – Has not got her nose in front for over over a year but is regularly in the thick of things, as she showed in 5 June race of reference, and unlikely to let the side down
MUSIQUE CLASSIQUE – Did not enjoy the best of trips when 7th behind MARAVIGLIA (14) in a 2850m Class C 2 weeks ago. Is clearly in excellent shape and is not one to be underestimated
MANDARINA DE LOU – Runner-up in 3 straight before being eliminated in 5 June race of reference. Has placed just once in 4 starts over 2700m here and is not a priority
MOON STAR FOR YOU – Ran 3rd under these conditions before being sent for a spell. Was eliminated on comeback and although unlikely to create an upset, should nevertheless hold her own
MUSCADE LEMAN – Unexceptional sort making first appearance since early-April. Is barefoot for the occasion but is unlikely to spice things up
MOONLIGHT STAR – Serious type with fine course-and-distance references but has not been seen out since January and is unlikely to generate much interest
MARVINA BELLA – Placed in a Gr.3 over course and distance earlier in the year but out of the picture in last 3 and will have little to offer
MARINA JAMES – Useful on a good day and sports a fresh configuration but takes on some better horses and can be passed over
MISS MOCCA – Won over course and distance prior to running 4th in a 2850m Class C a fortnight back. Is unlikely to win this but can still pick up a place cheque
MARAVIGLIA – In the frame in 3 of last 4 starts, latterly just missing out in a 2850m Class C 2 weeks ago. Is plainly on the cusp of opening her Vincennes tab and will be backed accordingly
MAYOLA VEDAQUAISE – Returned from a short layup to come 2nd in a Class C over track and trip mid-May. Has yet to win at Vincennes but enjoys an ideal opportunity this time around
MANZANA ERA – In the frame in 3 of last 4 starts, including over course and distance. Showed her form at Marseille-Borely last week, has been entrusted to Mathieu Mottier who ran 2nd with her here in March, and the good entry will do her chances no harm
MYSTIC DES FORGES – Quality filly that came into herself over the winter. Has been off the track for 4 months but will have been specifically prepared for this and can impose
MABELLISSIME – Just 101 Euros from elimination, and has previously won here, but has struggled so far this term. Goes barefoot this time but others still easier to back
Summary: Sent for a rest in February after twice imposing over course and distance, MYSTIC DES FORGES (17) has not been seen out since but she is barefoot as she was last time, benefits from a terrific entry, and clearly means business. Paul Ploquin will still want to be wary of the ever-consistent MAYOLA VEDAQUAISE (15) who is reunited with Yoann Lebourgeois who won with her last October, and MARAVIGLIA (14) who has been knocking at the door over recent weeks. MUSIQUE CLASSIQUE (6) is considerably better than her latest result would suggest and Jean-Philippe Dubois will be eager to prove the point. Twice a winner in 3 starts under these conditions, MISS MOCCA (13) is very hard to ignore.
SELECTIONS
MYSTIC DES FORGES (17) – MAYOLA VEDAQUAISE (15) – MARAVIGLIA (14) – MUSIQUE CLASSIQUE (6)
C8 – PRIX CALLISTO – 2850m (a2m) – Class C – Mounted – EUR € 68,000
JOSHUA PEJI – Seldom far from faulting but has buckets of ability. Goes over any trip, has nothing to prove at Vincennes, and with application can wrap this up
JUBLA VIKING – Has been knocking at the door recently, latterly 3rd to JOSELITO DU VIVIER (4) in an Enghien Class D on 23 May. Goes well for Cléa Roger and has a decent chance of picking up some prizemoney
IBIS DE CHAHAINS – Runner-up twice before being eliminated across town last weekend, and once again appears to be taking on too much
JOSELITO DU VIVIER – Has enjoyed quite the renaissance since switching disciplines. Notched up his 5th straight success last month at Enghien and securing another would be no surprise
HORSY ROYAL – Has done nothing noteworthy in either code for some time and has shown no sign of an imminent return to form
HELIUM DE L’ITON – Ended last season on a low note and has picked up this term where he left off
GRAHIKA – Placed twice on the main track before failing to deliver at Agen. Is confirmed under these conditions, will be partnered by Eric Raffin for the occasion, and with 4 pads fitted should not be written off
ILMAT DES KECHES – Makes monte bow following a brief spell. Is new to the discipline, and the inner course, but with a top jockey in the irons should not be undervalued
HOLD THE LINE – Had a slow start to the season but has been transformed over past 2 months. Comfortably secured a Laval Class C over 2850m and is sure to garner significant support
HANDSOME BOY – Has form here but has been very disappointing so far this season and will first need to get his house in order
JAG MAHCATH – Serious sort that ran 4th to HOLD THE LINE (9) in a 2850m Laval Class C on 3 June. Is barefoot this time though and Mathieu Mottier will be keen to make hay
HANIELLE CREPIN – Has turned a corner this spring with 3 straight places, most recently 2nd in a Class D at Le Croise-Laroche a month ago. Has yet to win for new trainer but it is only a question of time
HEVA BLONDE – Useful on a good day but eliminated in 3 of last 4 starts and others easier to trust
Summary: JOSHUA PEJI (1) is never far from putting his spirit on show but he left a very good impression over the main track earlier in the month and can bring home the bacon as long as Damien Bonne keeps him focused. He will be unsurprisingly mindful though of monte revelation JOSELITO DU VIVIER (4) who returns to Vincennes on a six-timer. HOLD THE LINE (9) secured the hat-trick at Laval recently and is back on the inner course with a lot to contribute. ILMAT DES KECHES (8) may not have been seen out for 2 months but he receives an Alexandre Abrivard ride for his ridden debut and will be afforded every chance.

R2 LA CAPELLE [L-H]

C1 – PRIX OFFICE DE TOURISME PAYS DE THIERACHE – 2750m (a1m1/2) – Class F Amateur Riders – Mounted – EUR € 23,000

ICARE DU FAOUET – Victorious in a class H mounted race at Elbeuf over 2750m on 7 June. Has improved of late but this it’s a tougher race
KANDISSIME – Disqualified in a class G at Rouen-Mauquenchy over 2850m on 4 June. Has disqualification issues but is also capable of earning some money
JUST BE GOOD – A winner of a class F mounted race at Nancy over 2600m on 29 May. Does like that course but remains barefoot and has claims

KEROS DE BEAULIEU – Successful in a mounted race at Durtal over 2825m on 25 May. Much improved this year and can be a threat

KOH I NOOR – Finished 9th in a class D at Le Mans over 2950m on 21 May. Capable of being a lively danger back under the saddle
JUMBO DE LUNESE – Not disgraced when fifth in a class E mounted race at Caen over 2450m on 10 June. Remains barefoot and should fight out the finish
JANARDAL CLUB – Only modest of late and finished fifth in a class F harness race at Reims over 2500m on 6 June. More is needed to beat these rivals
Summary: A very open looking first event. Likely to improve on his fifth at Caen, JUMBO DE LUNESE (9) remains barefoot andshould fight it out with KOH I NOOR (8), who returns to the mounted race discipline after some time. JUST BE GOOD (3) is in top form but will need to keep his action together to play a leading role. KARTER LEWIS (7) has found a new lease of life in this discipline and should give another good account.

NOUVELLE HISTOIRE – Unreliable and finished 7th in a class E at Graignes over 2700m on 6 June. Only win was on grass and others are preferred
NOVA DU FER – Disqualified four times in a row, the latest in a class E mounted race at Reims over 2550m on 6 June. Others make more appeal
NIKITA DU BOUFFEY – Successful in a class F at Le Touquet over 2600m on 24 May. Liked the grass that day and others make more appeal
NOUCHKA WIND – Has some fair form and finished third in a class F at Amiens over 2900m on 16 May. Capable of earning some more money
NIJNI NOVGOROD TEK – Did not show her best when 6th in a class E at Le Mans over 2950m on 21 May. Did win on debut and cannot be written off
NEBULA DANICA – Not reliable and finished 8th in a class D at Vincennes over 2850m on 7 April. Returns from a short break and could need this run
NACREE DE QUARO – A winner on debut in a class F at Laon over 2225m on 17 May. Looked good that day and is capable of following up
NUIT MAGIQUE – Knocking hard at the door and was runner-up in a class F at Amiens over 2900m on 16 May. can challenge for top honours again
NASHVILLE MENCOURT – Successful on debut in a class F at Saint-Omer over 2625m on 31 May. Did all that was asked of her that day and could double up
NORMANDIA – Disqualified in a class D mounted race at Vincennes over 2200m on 11 February. Returns from a break and could need this run
NINA D’AUVERS – Only moderate of late and finished 9th in a class F at this track over 2750m on 24 May. Needs to find a few lengths to score
NIZZA PRESTANCE – Finished third on debut in a class F at Le Croise-Laroche over 2825m on 2 March. Returns from a break but must be respected. Place chance
NIGHT DE REUX – Much improved last run when third in a class D at Rouen-Mauquenchy over 2150m on 4 June. Can be competitive once again
NEREIDE SIBEY – Disqualified in three of four starts so far, the latest in a class E at Laval over 2850m on 29 April. Can contest the finish when smart
NINA JOMUNA – Disqualified in a class E at Amiens over 2900m on 11 June. Not easy to trust but is capable of an upset if staying in stride
NEW GIRL DU CHENE – Not reliable and finished finished 7th in a class D at Vincennes over 2200m on 9 June. Can be a threat to these rivals when smart
Summary: Plenty in with a chance in this competitive and evenly matched field. An impressive winner on debut, NACREE DE CARO (7) is narrowly preferred to NUIT MAGIQUE (8), who is still seeking a first success after two runner-up efforts. NASHVILLE MENCOURT (9) scored with more authority than the margin suggests and is also a leading contender for victory.Everything will come down to her behaviour with NEREIDE SIBEY (14), who is capable of the best as well as the worst.

Summary: NARVIK DU BESSIN (2) is well regarded by connections, but it will all come down to the start. If he maintains the right rhythm, he can get the better of NEW FRIEND (4), who is also seeking redemption after two below-par efforts. NAKANO BELLO (6) made a striking impression when winning on debut. Much improved, NELSON SIBEY (11) can also get involved with the finish over a course and distance that clerlyy suits.

Noted on the Paris cinders ten days ago, MAKE FOR JUMP (3) appears best placed to give him most to think about. MYSTERE CERIZE (10), kept fresh since his win at Vichy, also commands attention.

Summary: The answer may lie in the second row, where LOKI DE BEAUCAMPS (14), an impressive winner at the start of April, makes plenty of appeal. Despite a short break, he is preferred to LEBOSS D’HAVAROCHE (12), who has the ability but not always the willingness. Noted on 7 June, LA BELLE DE BEYLEV (10) is presented with an ideal opportunity to bounce back. LOVE SHACK (15) had excuses last time out and is worth another chance.

Summary: A very open lucky last race. KOBE EIGHT (11) finds a task within his reach and could take the opportunity to bounce back so gets a narrow vote to score. KETY DU GOUTIER (13) should not be underestimated, much like KAPITANO DE LOU (8), who has returned to his best form in recent weeks. From the front line, KAMIKAZE DRY (4) appeals as the most attractive option and must be given respect in thsi line-up.

BAHI – A respectable 4th in a Maiden over 2400m at Saint-Cloud on 24 March. That was only his second run and he should make further progress
ALLEZ FRERES – A reasonable 6th in a Maiden over 2300m at Angers on 2 May. Has not run badly and has only raced twice so he could have more to come
BARZAMBITION – A 3-length 2nd in a Maiden over 2400m at Compiegne on 9 May. Has finished 2nd in all four of his races, twice over this distance, and looks ready to pick up his first win
VAN DER ROHE – Finished 4th in a Maiden over 2100m at Saint-Cloud on 22 May. That was his debut performance and he should be ideally suited by the longer distance
SILVERO – A moderate 10th in a Maiden over 2100m at Dax on 1 May. Both runs so far have not produced much and will need to improve
IRON TRIUMPH – Finished last in a 12-horse field over 2200m at Fontainebleau on 28 February. Coming off a break and will need to show a lot more
IN CARE OF – Not beaten far when 4th in a Handicap over 2400m at Saint-Cloud on 5 May. Has run well enough in handicaps to be a threat back in a maiden
Summary: BARZAMBITION (3) has done everything but win in his four runs to date, finishing runner-up in all of them. This could be the ideal race for him to shed his maiden tag. The main threat should come from BAHI (1), who performed well enough coming back from a break and should progress from there. VAN DER ROHE (4) made a promising debut and should improve while IN CARE OF (7) will bring some handicap experience into this race.

NOTRE ANGLAISE – A 7.5-length 3rd in a Maiden over 2500m at Evreux on 26 May. That showed vast improvement on her debut run so she could run well in this
MENNULA – A disappointing 5th in a Maiden over 1800m at ParisLongchamp on 28 May. She is a lot better than that last run and can prove that this time
FRENCH EXPRESS – Not beaten far when 3rd in a Maiden over 2350m at Haras Du Pin on 24 May. A decent debut effort but does face stronger this time
SONNY ANGEL – A poor 10th in a Maiden over 1800m at ParisLongchamp on 28 May. There could be some progress on her debut effort but it will have to be huge
TSAVERNA – A 4-length 4th in a Claimer over 2000m at ParisLongchamp on 4 June. Has a lot more to do this time
Summary: ALMARIS (3) tackled a Listed field last time and her earlier starts were very promising. She has been supplemented into the race and looks the runner to beat. MENNULA (5) is better than her last run indicated and with Pierre-Charles Boudot up, a better effort can be expected. VALDERRAMA (1) ran on well on debut to finish third and major progress should follow. FRENCH EXPRESS (6) comes off a promising form line and could surprise.

HOLLIE WOOD – Narrowly beaten when 2nd in a Handicap over 1300m at Craon on 4 June. Has been running consistently but will find this more challenging
DAISY DAISY – A promising 7th in a handicap over 1100m at Dieppe on 6 June. That was a decent effort coming back in her first run of the season and could well place

PRINCESS ZALTANA – A moderate 7th in a Handicap over 1300m at Craon on 4 June. Will find the opposition in this a bit tough to handle
Summary: ULYMINE (3) was highly rated as a two-year-old and while she has been disappointing of late it could be a different story dropping to a Claimer. MISTER GEORGE (1) has been supplemented into this race so expectations will be high. GOLDEN HIND (2) is proven over a straight course and should contest the finish. DAISY DAISY (7) had a promising comeback race and should run well.

IMMATIN STORM – A promising 3rd in a Conditions race over 1200m at Saint-Cloud on 29 May. Was just 0.75 lengths behind MOONDANCE (2) and has a weight advantage this time

Summary: Unraced BIG MONEY MAN (6) is bred for speed and should come out flying out of the stalls with Maxime Guyon in the irons. SOUFINA (7) did well to run fourth on debut and she should come on this time with firmer ground. MOONDANCE (2) has a win and a second place to a decent filly in her two runs and should fight out the finish once again. IMMATIN STORM (8) was only 0.75 length behind her and should not be far behind once again.

Summary: AZIERS (10) is well suited to artificial surfaces and produced a recent third-place finish at Marseille-Vivaux in late May. With a nice draw, he is taken to come out on top. GOLUPTIOUS (4) rates as the main danger after showing improved form when fourth at Toulouse 11 days ago. FRANCISCANO (3) has been out of the frame in recent starts but possesses enough ability to make his presence felt. ALABAMA MOON (11) is another worthy of consideration.

NEBUCHADNASSER – Recent fourth on the PSF at this track over 1900m in a Class 4 handicap on May 19th. Ought to be in the shake-up
ROYAL RIGHT – Has been out of form a for a while, 6th over 1900m on the PSF at this racecourse on May 19th in a Class 4 handicap when last seen. Hardly inspiring
SILVER SCHNOK – Better run when 5th at Vichy over 1600m in a Class 4 handicap on May 13th last time out. Among the leading chances
BELCHA – Consistent form of late, a win over 2000m in a Class 4 race at Vitteux on May 24th on the latest of them. Seems better on turf
DETESNOUVELLES – Better form of late, a win two runs back over 1600m at Compiegne in a Class 4 handicap on May 20th and a 4th over the same track and trip over 1600m on June 9th in a Class 4 handicap. Course form has been poor
L’ENNEMI – Has not troubled the judge in his last four runs, the latter over 2000m at Le Lion D’Angers on June 5th in a Class 4 handicap. Can be overlooked
EVER READY – Non-Runner
PADDY WHITE HEART – She has not been involved in three runs this year, in the rear division over 1900m at this track in a Class 4 handicap on the PSF last time on April 14th. Hard to fancy
Summary: GARIYANN (4) produced an improved performance at Parisongchamp in mid-May, finishing a creditable sixth in a Class 3 handicap. Lightly raced, he makes only his second appearance on turf today and can score. The main threat could be LAST SINN (6), who has dropped in the handicap following a series of unplaced efforts but has the ability to be involved. NEBUCHADNASSER (9) appeals as a solid each-way option and should be taken seriously, while SILVER SCHNOK (11) is also worthy of respect.

TREASURE KEEPER – Placed on his last two efforts, 3rd on the latter over 1900m at this track in a Class 3 handicap on May 19th. Top three chance
WHEELER – Two unplaced efforts of late over the track and trip in May, a win before that over track/trip in a Class 3 handicap on March 8th. Look elsewhere
VENTS CONTRAIRES – Below par when 8th last time in a Claimer over this track/trip on April 22nd. Better performance anticipated
STARAC – Unlaced over 2500m on May 28th, a 4th before that over 2000m at Saint-Cloud on April 24th in a Class 3 race. Others more likely
RIGOLETTOS – Three honest runs of late, 3rd on the latter over 2000m at Marseille Vivaux in a Class 4 claimer on May 2nd. Place chance at best
JAGUARE PRECIEUSE – Tad below expectations on June 2nd, a win before that over 2000m at Saint-Cloud in a Class 3 race on April 24th. Needs to be more consistent
SATURDAY NIGHT – Finished 5th last time over 1800m at Evreux in a Class 4 claimer on May 29th. One to include in all of the each-way plays
CHEVALDOR – Won on his last start over 1950m at Chateaubriant on May 24th in a conditions race. Ought to be thereabouts
MAITRE D’ARMES – Unplaced last time, a win before that over 1800m at Chantilly on September 5th in a Class 3 handicap on turf. Hard to recommend
RAQEEBB – Placed 2nd on the last run over 2200m at Haras Du Pin in a Class 4 race on May 24th. Can get back in the winner’s circle
HIGHFIELD WORLD – Unplaced on the one run this year over 1600m at this track on March 16th in a Class 3 handicap, a win on December 17th over this trip at Deauville. Can be avoided

STRAKO – Nice win over this distance at Deauville in a Class 2 handicap on August 23rd, 2025, when last seen on the PSF at Deauville. One to pay attention to
EAST GREY – Not seen since an 8th at Deauville in a handicap over 1900m on November 28th. Fitness to prove and is best watched this time
LALOU – Creditable 5th last time over 2350m at Strasbourg in a Class 3 handicap on April 18th. Might find a few too smart
Summary: RAQEEBB (11) arrives after a decent second on the turf at Haras Du Pin late in May and has no issues with a return to the PSF having run well at this track previously. He is the tentative selection over IKKO (13), who ran well on the turf last time at Parislongchamp and should handle the drop in trip and return to this artificial surface. TREASURE KEEPER (2) has solid placed form over the track and trip recently and can not be overlooked. CHEVALDOR (9) looks best of the rest.

PACO – Well beaten over 1800m in a Class 4 race at Compiegne 6 days ago when last seen, and poor form before that over various trips. Hard to fancy
CARLSTON – Well beaten over 1900m on the PSF at this racecourse on May 19th, and a win before that over the same track/trip in a Class 3 handicap on May 4th. Has to be more reliable now back on turf
MON SCHATZI – Fair 2nd last time over 1600m at Lyon Parilly in a Class 4 race on May 30th. Has to enter each-way calculations
MAIZIERES – She has shown very little in five runs this year, in the rear division over 2500m at Argentan on June 10th in a Class 4 handicap last time out. Little to be enthusiastic about
ANTICO – He has shown very little in four runs since a win over 1600m in a Class 3 handicap at Chantilly on March 12th on the PSF. Looks vulnerable
MELANIES JOY – Has been out of form on his last few runs, 9th on the most recent over 1600m in a Class 3 handicap at Compiegne on June 9th. Has work to do
JACK OF TRADES – Finished 6th last time over 1800m at Le Croise-Laroche in a Class 4 race on May 17th. Others rate higher

JOYCE GALESTE – Two unplaced runs since a win over 1800m at Le Croise-Laroche on March 20th in a Class 4 race. One to make the frame
SUN PROJECT – He has been below par with four unplaced runs of late, 7th at Saint-Cloud in a Class 3 handicap on the latter on May 29th over 1400m. Might find this difficult
CATHERINE’S GIFT – She has been placed on her last two runs, the latter when 3rd on June 5th at Le Lion D’Angers in a Class 4 handicap. Ought to be a live player
Summary: DOUBLE EFFECT (12) produced a solid effort on the PSF at this course last time out. A return to turf should hold no fears, and she has strong claims of playing a leading role. CATHERINE’S GIFT (16) has finished in the placings on her last two starts and looks the principal danger. JOYCE GALESTE (14) is another who warrants consideration and could be worth including in all each-way calculations. CANDY CHERIE (13) also enters the equation after registering a victory at Salon Provence in May.

Summary: NIKO PLEIN CHENE (9) can prove a handful but he does not lack ability and is particularly well engaged on the front row. He looks the one to be on. NOUMEA D’AMOUR (10) brings solid form into the race and has what it takes to overcome her 25 meter initial handicap. Newcomer NICKEL DE VAUVILLE (2) is well spoken and must be closely monitored in the betting. The delicate NOBODY CASH (5) is pairing up with a man of experience and cannot be dismissed lightly.

He is a tentative pick ahead of MUST DES RIOULTS (12), who has been in fine fettle since early May. MORIARTY (9) caught the eye when he register a first victory last time out at Avignon and surely has more to offer. MOELAND (1) is not devoid of ability and cannot be discounted lightly.

Summary: JARDIN DU ROI (11) has been flying high since the start of the year and looks once again a huge player in a race well within his range. With an initial 25m advantage, KATMAI (6) can make life difficult for the selection. Back under harness, KISS D’EREVAN (8) has shown enough in this code to be competitive. KITKO TEJY (9) has long been prepared for this race and is another one who should be closely monitored.

LE POULIGUEN (11) is not the easiest to drive but is clearly in good form and commands respect. LUCKY D’AVIGNERE (4) has the advantage of being more reliable and can be expected to sit just off the pace. Faulty in his last two outings, LINGFIELD (6) would only need to keep his action together to have a say at the finish.

Summary: A very tricky lucky last race. JURDIG LESMELCHEN (1) was in contention for the leading places when faulting in his last two starts and would have every chance if keeping his action together. KLAIRE DE PLAY (4) performed well in an apprentice event last time and will look to confirm that effort. Not disgraced at Laval in May, HYAK DES FONTAINES (5) returns to Marseille with legitimate ambitions. A recent fourth in a professionals’ race, JAVELOT VERDERIE (6) also has a winning chance.
