R1 VINCENNES [L-H]

C1 – PRIX DEIMOS – 2200m (a1m1/2) – Class D – Mounted – EUR € 40,000

  1. MAJUSCULE – Unexceptional sort still chasing that elusive first win and is not about to shake things up
  2. MUSIQUE NAY – Unplaced on comeback here on 25 February. Will have progressed for the race, and has been reconfigured, but still seems to be taking on too much
  3. MY FAIR LADY – Returns to the ridden code after having reassured under harness 2.5 weeks ago. Has previously won over course and distance and can again finish close
  4. MAMAORA DE LOU – Serious filly returning to code of preference after a necessary freshener at Vire on 18 March. Goes barefoot again, should appreciate the new conditions, and has a decent chance of applying the pressure on MIRMANDE DEL PHEDO (11)
  5. MISS DE BAILLE – Eliminated as often as not but has talent to burn. Got off the mark with authority at Meslay-du-Maine 2.5 weeks ago and must be considered a contender
  6. MINA DE BASSIERE – Looked very ordinary when trounced on monte debut at Enghien 10 days ago. Alexandre Abrivard in the saddle this time, but still not an obvious choice
  7. MELODY KADESH – Starts for the first time since being dominated in a 2700m Class B here last November. Goes barefoot for the occasion and, if sufficiently fit, can play a role
  8. MAURICETTE BLUE – Has not been seen under the saddle since debuting poorly in November 2024. Out of the picture in last 2 under harness and others easier to back
  9. MILANTERA – Has talent but is a tricky sort at the best of times. Has been re-shod for her return to Vincennes but still not a priority
  10. MADONE DU TRIEUX – Back under the saddle after being given a harness prep across town 2.5 weeks ago. Is undeniably talented and will not be far off the mark if Guillaume Martin keeps her trotting
  11. MIRMANDE DEL PHEDO – Well-engaged filly that was simply dynamic over course and distance on 27 January. Has a lot of untapped potential and will be well-backed to confirm
    Summary: Most impressive here in late-January when barefoot for the first time, MIRMANDE DEL PHEDO (11) makes her much-awaited return and, with shoes off again, can repeat. She will be opposed though by the improving MAMAORA DE LOU (4) who will be barefoot for the first time in the discipline, and the tricky but talented MISS DE BAILLE (5) who came good at Meslay-du-Maine in mid-March. Eliminated last time under the saddle, MADONE DU TRIEUX (10) will sport 4 pads for the occasion and, with application, can figure prominently.
    SELECTIONS
    MIRMANDE DEL PHEDO (11) – MAMAORA DE LOU (4) – MISS DE BAILLE (5) – MADONE DU TRIEUX (10)
    C2 – PRIX DE SURESNES – 2100m (a1m1/4) – Class R Claiming – Harness – EUR € 18,000
  12. MY WAY LEAGABIN – Always gives her best but that is rarely good enough. Made little impact in last 2 claiming starts and, even with shoes off, will have too much to do
  13. MILADY MADRIK – Facile winner of a 2875m Enghien claimer on 10 March. Is well-in on the front line and, with Eric Raffin back in the bike, is not going to be far from the action
  14. MERVEILLEUX – Was never at her ease at Enghien, even before suffering interference, 2.5 weeks ago. Is ideally-positioned, is reunited with his handler, and can contest a place on the podium this time
  15. MADE IN LOVE PASS – Has so far failed to make his mark this term. Was not disgraced at Caen last week and, while not a priority, he will go barefoot for the first time and should not be discounted
  16. MERMOZ – Takes first public steps over the inner course after having disappointed in a Class C over the main track 2 weeks ago. Has nothing to prove at this level and Louis Baudouin can be confident of a big performance
  17. MEA CULPA – Placed in 2 before being eliminated in a Class A here a fortnight back. Presents decent claiming credentials and in current condition is easy to recommend for a first-5 payout
  18. MILAN – 2nd on re-entry in a Class A over the main course before coming 5th at a similar level next time. Has never failed to deliver under these conditions and looks set to take all the beating
  19. MAMBO THORIS – Has yet to make any impact at this level, latterly eliminated when never-threatening at Enghien on 10 March. Is forced to start wide and represents a minor place chance at best
  20. MARELLA DALEO – Useful at this level, and most recently 4th to MILADY MADRIK (2) in 10 March race of reference. Sports a fresh formula but the draw will do her no favours
  21. MYSTIC MAN – Modest trotter that has done nothing noteworthy for almost a year. Has pulled a rough number and in spite of modified shoeing still looks to be out of his depth
  22. MILORD DU COJEUL – Moderate element that looked ordinary on re-entry at Le Croise-Laroche 11 days ago. Starts on the back line and, in this company, is unlikely to create an upset
  23. MON CARAT – Eliminated in 6 of last 7 starts, 2 of them this term, but has bags of ability. Starts on back line but can get in on the action if Pierre-Yves Verva keeps him focused
  24. MY JIBAY – Disappointing on the whole since the turn of the year and even under these conditions will struggle to make his presence felt
    Summary: A Class A winner here last summer, MILAN (7) takes a huge dip in category and, considering how he appreciates these conditions, the race should be his for the taking. Theo Duvaldestin will still be mindful of the better-placed MERMOZ (5) who should be well-suited to the inner-track profile, and the consistent MERVEILLEUX (3) who was subject to interference last time out. MILADY MADRIK (2) won an Enghien claimer in good order last month and is well-placed to finish close once more.
    SELECTIONS
    MILAN (7) – MERMOZ (5) – MERVEILLEUX (3) – MILADY MADRIK (2)
    C3 – PRIX LIBRA – 2200m (a1m1/2) – Class D – Mounted – EUR € 46,000
  25. LAPONIE D’EMMA – Has taken particularly well to her new vocation, and gave a fine account of herself on re-entry in late-January. Will be fresh for the challenge and must be taken more seriously this time
  26. LALIGA DEL PHEDO – Has moved her game on since returning to racing barefoot. Met no opposition over the main track here last time out, and has every chance of repeating
  27. LITTLELOU MATIDY – Never far from faulting but is otherwise very hard to fault. Is new to the inner course, will be fresh, and going barefoot this time can make all the difference. Place prospect
  28. LOVE AND SUN – Serious group-class element but struggles to get around with stride in check. Never-dangerous when eliminated at Caen 2 weeks ago and cannot be considered a player
  29. LYRIC – Made amends for January elimination when 3rd behind LAPONIE D’EMMA (1) in a Class E here on 27 February, however in this category can expect to find this a stiff test
  30. LENSOIS DU DOLLAR – Unlucky not to finish closer than 4th behind LUCIA DI JENILAT (12) here on 19 February, however will not be so fortunate this time around
  31. LOLA DU CAMPUS – Has looked decidedly ordinary this year, most recently trounced under harness here a week ago. Eric Raffin in the irons but still not a concern
  32. LIBERTA DEL PHEDO – Has gone from strength to strength since changing stables. Starts for the first time since late-December, ran 2nd the last time under these conditions, and has the wherewithal to give LALIGA DEL PHEDO (2) a run for her money
  33. LEONCE DU CLOS – Runner-up in last 2, most recently an Enghien Class D 10 days ago. Takes on a better lot this time and would be preferred more competitively-shod
  34. LOUSTIC – Has moved her game on this season, winning 2 for 2, including over the main track here. Excels when barefoot and will justifiably generate considerable interest
  35. LOTI SOLO – Disappointing 5th behind LUCIA DI JENILAT (12) here on 19 February and would have better prospects at a lower level
  36. LUCIA DI JENILAT – Made up for January elimination when 3rd in a 2850m Class C here on 19 February. Enjoys a terrific entry and will be expected to finish in the mix
    Summary: LALIGA DEL PHEDO (2) has not been seen out since storming up over shorter here in early-February, but will have been specifically prepared for this. She should take well to the new conditions and can make this her own. Alan Gendrot will still want to be wary of LIBERTA DEL PHEDO (8) who has enjoyed quite the resurgence since moving to Mathieu Mottier’s yard, and LOUSTIC (10) who has improved even further this season. LITTLELOU MATIDY (3) makes her first appearance since late-January but will be barefoot for the occasion and Charley Mottier clearly means business.
    SELECTIONS
    LALIGA DEL PHEDO (2) – LIBERTA DEL PHEDO (8) – LOUSTIC (10) – LITTLELOU MATIDY (3)
    C4 – PRIX ISOLDA – 2700m (a1m1/2) – Class D – Harness – EUR € 40,000
  37. MANDELA SEVEN – Yet to get into his stride this term but has already imposed under these conditions. Goes barefoot for the first time and looks main threat to MATADOR (12)
  38. MARLEY DE BAILLE – Talented gelding that won over course and distance in January. Missed out by little for 2nd in a Class C here in late-February but returns to racing barefoot and Mathieu Mottier will be keen to put things right
  39. MICHEL MARTIN – Kicked the year off decently but out of the picture in last 2. Is barefoot for return to the capital but others still preferred
  40. MY NAME IS BOND – Showed early potential but has however failed to make good on his promise, and can be passed over
  41. MARCHAND DE REVE – Got off the mark over 2100m here on 11 February, at 18th time of asking. Failed to confirm later that month and chances appear limited
  42. MAGIC INSTINCT – Bounced back from re-entry elimination with 3rd place in a Vire Class D just over 2 weeks ago. Has never excelled at Vincennes and even though reconfigured still looks an outsider
  43. MUST DU BELLAY – Should not be too hastily-condemned for recent blunder here. Has otherwise been in fine fettle and, if applied, can challenge for a place in the frame
  44. MATCH BOCNEUF – Most impressive in the provinces last season. Held his own on re-entry at Agen mid-February, races unshod-behind this time, and will be reunited with Eric Raffin. First 5
  45. MAKIAVEL DE BUSSET – Respectable element but has not raced since late-December and is going to need the outing
  46. MADMAX JEF – Drops back in category after running 7th behind MON PLAISIR (15) in a 2100m Class C here on 28 February. Is confirmed under these conditions but cannot be regarded a priority
  47. MOWGLY FRECA – Useful sort but has not been seen out since running 2nd in a Class D over 2100m here on 27 December. Is not about to set off any fireworks but does have the wherewithal to get a look in
  48. MATADOR – Serious future prospect that easily won an Enghien Class D on 6 March. Faces first real Vincennes objective and, with shoes off again, can repeat
  49. MAGIC JOHN – Tricky sort returning to the venue on a hat-trick, most recently beating MUST DU BELLAY (7) over course and distance. Is unlikely to pull it off but can nevertheless finish in the mix
  50. MELANCHOLY MAN – Moderate individual that has demonstrated better aptitude for the monte code and is unlikely to create an upset
  51. MON PLAISIR – Has begun to come good again following a tricky start to the year. Ran 3rd over shorter here 2 weeks ago and, while not a priority, is nevertheless well-engaged and worth keeping an eye on
    Summary: After a much-needed return run here in early-February, MATADOR (12) ran away with an Enghien Class D last month, and looks thoroughly capable of repeating. He will still meet resistance from the likes of a first-time barefoot MANDELA SEVEN (1) who has already won under these conditions, and Mathieu Mottier’s progressive MARLEY DE BAILLE (2) who will also race unshod for the occasion. Surprisingly eliminated here a fortnight back, MUST DU BELLAY (7) ran 2nd on his only start over 2700m here and will not be far from the action if Franck Nivard keeps him focused.
    SELECTIONS
    MATADOR (12) – MANDELA SEVEN (1) – MARLEY DE BAILLE (2) – MUST DU BELLAY (7)
    C5 – PRIX APPOLONIA – 2700m (a1m1/2) – Class D – Harness – EUR € 46,000
  52. LATINUS AVIS – Ran 2nd over course and distance before being eliminated at Enghien 10 days ago. Form is not in question though and will have his chances if Louis Baudouin assures his charge’s initial strides
  53. LAST DES BROUSSES – Showed improvement when 2nd in Reims a month back but has little love for Vincennes and can be ruled out
  54. LUCIDE CASTELETS – Ran 3rd twice before coming respectable 5th in a Bordeaux Class E early last month. Pleased on sole start here and, shod as he was last time, can again finish close
  55. LUSANIO DE WARNOC – Showed his form when 2nd in a Mauquenchy Class E 2.5 weeks ago. Is plainly on the right road and, first-time barefoot, looks a serious proposition
  56. LINARO – Capricious trotter making first start since 12 December and with shoes fitted is not about to shake things up
  57. LED ZEP VET – Has demonstrated a particular liking for racing in the day’s configuration. Is clearly at the top of his game and returns to Vincennes with a good hand to play. Place prospect
  58. LOOK MESLOIS – Not the easiest of horses to use but caught the eye on his Pontchateau return early last month. Is reunited with Yoann Lebourgeois who won with him here last November and has a realistic chance of repeating
  59. LE BARON BEZILLAT – No slouch on a good day but has placed just once in 4 Vincennes starts and will not find it easy making his mark
  60. LOOK DES ECUS – Imposed at Cagnes-sur-Mer before confirming at Agen 12 days ago. Is unlikely to pull off the hat-trick but will be sporting a fresh configuration and should not be underestimated
  61. L’INTOUCHABLE – Returns to racing barefoot following an unconvincing comeback run, but still looks to be out of his depth
    Summary: Spirited he may be but LOOK MESLOIS (7) is by no means devoid of talent. He will have come on for his good comeback run and, barefoot this time, can open his 2026 account. LUSANIO DE WARNOC (4) went close at Mauquenchy mid-March and will be barefoot over a distance he appreciates. LATINUS AVIS (1) was quickly eliminated at Enghien recently but has otherwise been in cracking form, and with application will be no pushover. LED ZEP VET (6) has turned a corner recently and will be reunited with Franck Nivard who won with him at Mauquenchy in February.
    SELECTIONS
    LOOK MESLOIS (7) – LUSANIO DE WARNOC (4) – LATINUS AVIS (1) – LED ZEP VET (6)
    C6 – PRIX CEPHENS – 2850m (a2m) – Class E – Harness – EUR € 49,000
  62. KIDAM DU METZ – Complicated but has shown decent aptitude for both codes. Has yet to convince in 2 starts this term though and is unlikely to spring any surprises
  63. KIWI DE CONNEE – Reunited with Yoann Lebourgeois for his return to Vincennes. Left a good impression last time here and from the front row can give this a good go. Place chance
  64. KAPITEN DU MELEUC – Previously a good sort but lost his way last autumn, and has picked up where he left off. Disregard
  65. KAPOOR D’OLMEN – Is nowhere near as sharp as he was last summer, has shown little liking for the venue, and even from the front row still looks an outsider
  66. KING’S RETURN – Got straight down to business on comeback at Mauquenchy on 24 February and, with Eric Raffin keeping faith, is very hard to ignore
  67. KASHMIR DU GERS – Nicely-engaged on front line and put in a good showing in Marseille 2 weeks ago. Is new to Vincennes but does not make the long trip to see the sights. First 5
  68. KING GEORGES – Has not won for some time but has done nothing but improve lately and even from the back line can play an active role
  69. KRAFEN – Unexceptional type starting for first time since November and will not be given a hard race
  70. KING LOOK – Apart from his superb form, he is also ideally-engaged. Won over 2850m in January and, barring force majeure, should have this in the bag
  71. KASH DES CAILLONS – Is significantly better than last month’s figures would suggest. Has twice defied his odds in black-type events and even against KING LOOK (9) must be regarded a player
    Summary: KING LOOK (9) took his win-rate past the 50 percent mark when dominating a Class E here 2 weeks ago and even though incurring the penalty this time, is still easy to fancy for the win. Even better-engaged, KASH DES CAILLONS (10) has twice placed at Gr.3 level over recent months and is back racing left-handed with a lot to contribute. KING GEORGES (7) is clearly on the right trajectory and will be no easy touch if Damien Bonne keeps him trotting. 25m better off, and barefoot for just his 2nd start at the venue, KIWI DE CONNEE (2) merits considerable respect.
    SELECTIONS
    KING LOOK (9) – KASH DES CAILLONS (10) – KING GEORGES (7) – KIWI DE CONNEE (2)
    C7 – PRIX AQUILA – 2100m (a1m1/4) – Class D – Harness – EUR € 40,000
  72. MALICE SPEED – Never far from faulting but reassuring 3rd in an Enghien Class D on 10 March and, if applied, can make her presence felt
  73. MUSE DU VIVIER – Has hardly put a foot out of place since her debut last May. Impressive winner on re-entry at Caen 3 weeks ago and, barefoot again, can confirm
  74. MAGIE DU CHATAULT – Dependability not her strong suit and failed to deliver at Enghien 3.5 weeks ago, but is significantly better than that and, from the 3 slot should not be underestimated
  75. MY LOVELY EBONY – Not the easiest to handle but gave a fine account on re-entry, coming 3rd of 13 in a Vire Class E on 18 March. Defied her odds that day, sports 4 pads for the first time, and should be taken more seriously
  76. MELISSA MATCH – Has taken her game to a new level since starting to race unshod, winning 2 for 2. Already boasts an impressive win-rate and victory here is well within reach
  77. MARISA DU CHATELET – 6th behind MALICE SPEED (1) in an Enghien Class D on 10 March, her first start since November. Will have come on for the run but is biting off too much this time
  78. MADE IN ATALANTE – Placed at Cagnes in late-February but has twice failed to confirm since and can be confidently ruled out
  79. MAMMA PAULO – Ran 2nd at Laval prior to clinching a Reims Class E 3 weeks ago. Starts wide on front line and in this company will have a lot to do
  80. MANZANA – Lost her maiden tag in a Class E at Lyon-La Soie on 9 March. Tends to prefer a more even surface though and chances limited
  81. MISS DE LA FERME – Unexceptional filly that has done little of note this term and has yet to excel over the main track
  82. MINNEAPOLIS – Showed a different side to herself last time out even though eliminated. Proved that day that she is up to the task and, with application, can finish in the mix
  83. MI FA SOL – Easy winner of a 2200m Caen Class E on comeback a fortnight ago, also first start for her new handler. Has never raced competitively-shod at Vincennes and is very easy to recommend
  84. MIYAJIMA VET – Left a good impression when 3rd to MUSE DU VIVIER (2) on re-entry in a 2450m Caen Class E 3 weeks ago. Will not be sent out at 146-1 this time but is unlikely to be as competitive either
  85. MARIE BASHKIRTSEFF – Capable on a good day but eliminated in last 2. Is plainly in decent condition though and can play a small role if she gets off on the right foot
  86. MOLLY WHITE – Moderate type that has yet to make her mark over the main track and is not about to start now
    Summary: A progressive filly that made no bones about imposing on her comeback here last month, MUSE DU VIVIER (2) goes barefoot again and, yet to disappoint for Yoann Lebourgeois, is easy to fancy for the win. MELISSA MATCH (5) may have no Vincennes references but she has won 2 of her 3 starts this year and is in with a reasonable shout of completing the hat-trick. MI FA SOL (12) is not as well-positioned but she got straight down to business on her Caen re-entry and will have progressed for the race. Starting beside her on the back line, MINNEAPOLIS (11) was flying when eliminated at Le Croise-Laroche recently and Mathieu Mottier has been drafted in for the occasion.
    SELECTIONS
    MUSE DU VIVIER (2) – MELISSA MATCH (5) – MI FA SOL (12) – MINNEAPOLIS (11)
    C8 – PRIX GRATIA – 2700m (a1m1/2) – Class D – Harness – EUR € 59,000
  87. HOLLY GREEN – Back in business since returning to racing barefoot but is no particular fan of these conditions and can be passed over
  88. GALAXIE DU HOME – Previously a good sort but has raced little since 2023. Only just made his comeback, races barefoot this time, but still not a concern
  89. JALIMEDE – Made up for February performance when 4th of 14 in a 2875m Enghien Class D 3 weeks ago. Is unlikely to win this but has a decent chance of trotting his way onto the podium
  90. INITIALE HERAULT – Blows hot and cold but has form under these conditions. Has been entrusted to Paul Ploquin for the first time and a repeat of her penultimate start would see her finish close
  91. JACK DES ASS – Sent for a rest after securing 7 in a row last season. Has a much-needed freshener under his belt and will be expected to contest the finish
  92. FRANCO FLEURI – Kicked the year off nicely at Nantes but less-performant in last 2, latterly 6th behind JALIMEDE (3) in an Enghien Class D 3 weeks ago. Needs to find more but will be barefoot this time and cannot be entirely ruled out
  93. IERMES DE GUEZ – Surprise 4th, at 30-1, in a 2100m Class D here on 28 February. Is unlikely to repeat but sports pads this time and can give this a good go. Attention
  94. HELIOS DES CHAMPS – Unremarkable type returning to Vincennes on a hat-trick of eliminations and even though reconfigured will have no possible chance
  95. JIPET DE CREPIN – Simply excellent over 2700m here. Is clearly back at his best and already has one hand on the trophy
  96. INDOCILE – Showed marginal improvement when 7th behind IERMES DE GUEZ (7) in a 2100m Class D here on 28 February, but is still being aimed too high
  97. IXELLE BLEUE – Quality mare that seldom disappoints in the day’s configuration and if fully-fit can make a big impact
  98. GALINETTE BLEUE – Springs the occasional surprise but disappointing in both starts this year and will be shod for the occasion
  99. INTELLO DE CHENU – Gave a good account on comeback, running 5th of 15, a place behind IERMES DE GUEZ (7), in a 2100m Class D here on 28 February. Trainer could not have wished for a better entry and David Thomain will be expected to deliver
    Summary: Capricious, but immensely talented nonetheless, JIPET DE CREPIN (9) has looked a different horse since the turn of the year and under these conditions can pull off the 3-timer. JACK DES ASS (5) reverts to a previous formula for his first real objective of the season and will be no soft touch. Sent for a break after imposing at Cabourg in December, IXELLE BLEUE (11) benefits from a very good entry and, shod to preference, can figure prominently. JALIMEDE (3) defied his odds across town last month and, with form maintained, can put in another good showing. Terrifically-engaged here, INTELLO DE CHENU (13) won his only race under these conditions and must be afforded respect.

    R2 MARSEILLE-BORELY [L-H]

C1 – PRIX DES ALPILLES – 2600m (a1m1/2) – TURF – Class 4 Claiming Handicap – Flat – EUR € 12,500

  1. USER KINDLY – Won last time in a similar race at Cagnes-Sur-Mer on February 18th on the PSF. Three placed runs at this track last year. Player
  2. SAINT LANGIS – Unplaced over hurdles last time over 3800m at Lyon Parilly in a Class 3 race on October 30th. 2nd on the flat last May over 3150m in a Class 4 handicap. Pass over
  3. INTERSTELLA – Unplaced last time, 3rd previously over 2600m at Marseille-Vivaux in a Class 4 handicap on February 10th. Course winner over 2600m in March 2025 in a Class 3 handicap. In the mix
  4. BONNY WAY – Fair 5th last time over 3150m at Lyon Parilly in a Class 4 handicap on March 15th. Ought to be thereabouts
  5. REVENTADOR – Unplaced last time, 2nd before that over 2600m at Marseille-Vivaux in a Class 4 handicap on February 10th. Has work to do
  6. EXCELSIOR – Two unplaced runs this year, 8th over 2000m at Fontainebleau last time on March 6th in a Class 4 race. Capable of bouncing back to form
  7. BAGAZ – Three unplaced runs this year, the latter over 2500m at Saint-Cloud in a Class 4 race on March 5th. Needs to get back on track
  8. GOLDEN BLUSH – Three recent unplaced efforts, 7th over 2600m at Marseille-Vivaux in a Class 4 on the most recent on March 9th. More can be expected
    Summary: EXCELSIOR (6) was a decent third at Deauville in late December three runs back and is more than capable of scoring in a race of this nature. He could have the most to fear from GOLDEN BLUSH (8), who has been low key of late but more can be expected back on turf after a seventh on the PSF last time in early March. USER KINDLY (1) has leading claims each way after a win at Cagnes-Sur-Mer in February on the artificial surface. INTERSTELLA (3) is another to consider.

    C2 – PRIX DE L’HUVEAUNE – 2600m (a1m1/2) – TURF – Maiden – Flat – EUR € 19,200
  9. TOREBEK – Two 3rd placed runs of late, the most recent over 2600m at Marseille-Vivaux in a maiden race on March 9th. Can make the frame
  10. HUGO CABRET – Finished 5th on his sole start over 2600m in a maiden race on the PSF on March 9th. Should improve and is one to keep onside
  11. BASQUIAT – Ran well to be 2nd on his latest start over 2600m in a maiden race on the PSF on March 9th. Narrowly defeat last time and can feature again today
  12. ELMY – Finished 8th over 2000m at this track in a maiden last time on March 18th. Poor form previously. Avoidable
  13. TOUNSBY – Finished 10th on the sole start over 2150m at Cagnes-Sur-Mer on February 24th in a maiden race. Tailed off in the rear that day and would be a shock winner
  14. ARMANO – Finished a pleasing 3rd on his second start over 2000m at Cagnes-Sur-Mer in a maiden race on the PSF on February 11th. Can improve and is one to pay attention to on turf debut
  15. THE MAGPIE – Two 4th placed runs of late, the latter over 2000m at Marseille-Vivaux in a maiden race on March 4th. Can make the top three
  16. BLACK HENGE – Unraced gelding by Seahenge, the dam won 1 race. From a respected trainer that knows the time of day. Can improve for this outing and best watched
  17. MAGIC STORM – Unraced colt by De Treville, the dam won 2 races and was Listed placed. Some good aspects to his profile and he is worth a market check for any support.
  18. PUPPET – Unraced filly by Nathaniel, the dam won 1 race. Looks good on paper and from a respected trainer that knows how to get one ready to strike on debut
    Summary: ARMANO (6) ran well when third at Cagnes-Sur-Mer over 2000m in a maiden event on the PSF and can score on his turf debut. His main threat looks like it could be BASQUIAT (3), who has acquitted himself well on both starts , and was a decent second in a maiden on the PSF at Marseille-Vivaux when last seen on March 9th. THE MAGPIE (7) coiuld be a sensible option for the each-way enthusiasts to latch on to. PUPPET (10) completes the shortlist.

  19. MEFIE TOI – Ran well to be 2nd over 2000m at Marseille-Vivaux in a handicap last time out on March 4th. Outside place chance
  20. HEPBURN – Fair 5th last time, a win before that over 2150m at Cagnes-Sur-Mer in a maiden race on January 17th. Can win again
  21. HERCULE STAR – Got off the mark last time on the PSF in a maiden race on March 9th over 2600m. The drop back in trip might not be a positive
  22. CATHERINE LA MER – Ran well to be 3rd last time over 2000m at Marseille-Vivaux in a handicap on March 4th. Can make the top-four
  23. PERSIANA – Two 6th place efforts this year, the most recent over 2150m at Cagnes-Sur-Mer in a handicap on February 18th. Each way contender
  24. LES PRINCES – Four unplaced efforts so far, the latter over 2000m at this track in a maiden race on March 18th. More can be expected now trying handicap company
  25. SCHWANGAU – Fair 4th on the latest start over 1600m at Cavaillon in a maiden race on March 1st. Has work to do to be involved
  26. THE BLACK VELVET – Four placed runs from her last five starts, 2nd on the most recent over 1500m in a handicap on the PSF on March 22nd. Warrants respect
  27. ADICCION – 5th last time in a claimer 12 days ago, a win previously over 2000m in a claimer at Marseille-Vivaux on March 9th. Looks vulnerable
  28. JOJO FANTAISIE – Four unplaced runs, the most recent over 2000m at Marseille-Vivaux in a handicap on March 4th. Hard to fancy
  29. LA GRANDE JOA – Four unplaced outings so far, the latter over 2150m in a handicap at Cagnes-Sur-Mer in a handicap on February 18th. Hard to recommend
    Summary: HEPBURN (2) has been consistent and broke her maiden two runs back at Cagnes-Sur-Mer in mid-January. She acquitted herself well enough when fifth on her most recent start and is the tentative selection ahead of HERCULE STAR (3), who got off the mark on the PSF in a maiden last time out at Marseille-Vivaux on March 9th. LES PRINCES (6) has shown ability in his four runs and can have a say on his handicap debut. THE BLACK VELVET (8) completes the shortlist.

  33. HY DREAM – Placed 2nd last time over 1200m at this track in a Class 4 handicap on March 18th. One to pay attention to and can feature

  39. BOSQUET – Finished 5th last time out over 1500m in a Class 4 race at Marseille-Vivaux on March 22nd. Others seem better equipped
  40. MERI SHARMA – Three tame efforts this year, the latter over 1600m at Cavaillon on March 1st in a Class 4 race. Hard to recommend
    Summary: HY DREAM (4) ran well over this track and trip in a Class 4 handicap in mid-March when second and holds strong claims of going one place better. Her main danger could be RISKI CHOPE (9), who was also second on her latest start in a Class 4 handicap in early March at Fontainebleau. GO JOHNNY GO GO GO (8) is one to consider each-way and IDAHO JAMES (6) who looks best of the remainder.

  42. ODONNELL’S ORCHARD – Not seen since a 4th over 1300m in a handicap at Deauville on August 8th, 2024. Won over track and trip in May 2024. Long absence to overcome and best watched

    Summary: TANIS (8) scored over the course and distance when last seen in a Class 4 handicap on March 18th by over one length and can follow up despite a weight rise. Her main danger could be RUMPLETEAZER (10), who was back in third in the same race and has almost two lengths to make up, but is non more favoured terms today. LA MANDALA (3) has been placed second on her last two starts and is the each-way must. STUNNING HERO (11) was fourth behind the main selection last time and looks best of the rest.

  63. LAMIYA – Unraced filly by Golden Horde, the dam won 1 race and was placed in a Listed race over 2000m. Half-sister to Lazzat (Group 1 winner twice and Group 3 winner) From a leading trainer that will have this filly ready to go on debut
  64. LASTEXITTOPARADISE – Unraced filly by Birchwood, the dam ran once. Stable runners tend to improve for a run or two and she is best watched with the future in mind
    Summary: LAMIYA (11) is a half-sister to the top-class Lazzat (Double Group 1 winner and Group 3 winner twice and Listed winner). She will be expected to make a winning debut at the first time of asking by her astute trainer. LANDMAN (2) ran well on his debut when fourth and can make the selection work for success. FREEZE THE MOMENT (4) has experience and ran a nice race when fourth in a handicap recently. He is worth considering, as is LEVER DE RIDEAU (3), who heads the rest.

  77. PRINCE LOS – Two unplaced runs this year, the most recent over 1600m at Chantilly in a Class 4 handicap on March 12th. One to steer clear of
    Summary: SANKA CHOP (2) has been in good shape on the all-weather surface recently with a win in February and a recent third at Marseille-Vivaux in a Class 4 handicap. He is versatile and acts on turf and is given marginal preference over EKTORIA (1), who was fourth on the PSF last time but is a previous course and distance winner in May 2025. SPIRIT GREY (4) is a likely contender and is one for the each-way backers to latch on to. BOOMERANG (6) makes up the shortlist.

  91. DON FALCO – Fair 3rd last time over 1500m in a Class 4 race at Marseille-Vivaux on March 22nd. Seems better suited to the all weather surfaces
    Summary: STUPEFIANTE (5) could be the answer to this open handicap. She has shaped well to be fourth on her last two starts, the latter at Lyon La Soie in early March over 1800m in a Class 4 event. Her main threat could be MERCI ELIE (8). who has a couple of unplaced runs since finishing third at Marseille-Vivaux in a Class 4 race on February 16th. COME TI AMO (12) shaped well to be fourth at Fontainebleau in a Class 3 handicap three weeks ago and can have a say in proceedings. MAMA IMELDA (9) heads the rest.

NOBLE DE SOURCE (2) is improving and was a good winner at Graignes, so he would not be a surprise winner. NAGRADO GOLD (3) is showing promise and should fight out the finish once again.

    Summary: MISTER JENILOU (2) is not one to trust entirely. He did, however, run very well over this track and trip in February and can score if staying on the trot. MARLEY QUICK (8) has yet to win a race and is not reliable but is quite capable of beating these rivals if applying his mind.

  48. MANGO PAULO – Has improved of late and was victorious in Class B at Agen-Le Passage over 2625m on 14 February. Could be a threat once again
    Summary: MALICE D’ATOUT (1) is unbeaten in three starts since going barefoot and should make a bold bid for more success. MIKADO PIEMONT (6) is improving, and his last win suggested there are more victories in his tank. An obvious danger. MISTRAL DE LOISEL (5) has hit the crossbar twice in a row and is another to consider. MANGO PAULO (9) is yet another in fine form but does give 25m, so the others may have the edge this time.

  58. LE MAESTRO – Has some fair form and finished 5th in Class C at Vincennes over 2850m on 19 February. Should be a threat to these rivals
    Summary: A competitive race. Benjamin Goetz has a decent hand. LORKY RED (8) finished behind stable companion LUTECIA ELLIS (7) last time out. LORKY RED (8) is the more reliable of the two, though, and he does know how to win races, so gets the vote to score. LUTECIA ELLIS (7) remains in good form and will not go down easily. L’AMIRAL DIGEO (9) needed the last run and should do better this time around. LE BEAU FOXGLEN (1) is hard to trust but can make the frame when smart.

    Summary: JEUNE ORANGE COTON (15) fluffed his lines with a fault at Vincennes last month. He races without shoes this time around and can bounce back to success. JASMIN BLEU (8) remains in very good form and is an obvious danger to these rivals. JIRENS DUEM (11) is unreliable but is barefoot for the very first time, so must be respected. JAGUAR DU LONDEL (14) is unreliable but is also capable of scoring in this division.

    Summary: A very tricky lucky last race. INFINIMENT CITRON (5) ran better than his finishing position suggests at Vincennes last month. He has claims over this longer distance. HERODE DU CORTA (8) has been very competitive of late and can challenge for top honours yet again. HAMIGO (9) is unreliable but could be a threat based on his good penultimate start performance. IDEFIX DE CENTULE (2) is returning from a break but can make the frame if fit enough.

MR SAY (9) was a couple of lengths behind that rival on debut, so should be involved in the finish. LAMEGO (1) probably ran in a better race than this on debut and should be a threat dropped to a claimer. AMORE BELLA (10) is likely to improve and could make the frame.

    Summary: TANQUES (1) has shown steady improvement with each of his runs and rates a leading contender. He looks ready to strike if continuing on that upward curve. AMIRLAN (2) made a taking impression at Lyon-Parilly following the early part of his career in the UK and should have a major role to play if building on that effort. GOLDEN HIND (4) shaped with promise when fourth in a competitive contest on his seasonal return and is entitled to come on for that outing. Newcomer EPSOM NAVY CEN (10) represents connections who know how to ready one first time out, so any market confidence would be significant.

  24. TIMES JUBILEE – Narrowly beaten when 2nd on 13 March at Chantilly over a mile. Unlucky that day and big expectations in first run on turf
  25. HELLO AVENUE – Unplaced on comeback run on 10 March over 7f at Saint-Cloud. Has shown ability last year and brings plenty of experience in this race
  26. TIME LIKE A RIVER – Finished last of thirteen on debut at Deauville on 2 November over 6.5f. Unlikely to be involved at the finish
  27. DELAJA – Finished 5th of 11 on debut at Saint-Cloud on 10 March over 7f. Improvement likely and is expected to be involved at the finish
  28. SONATINE – Made a promising debut in September last year but finished unplaced in a Listed over 5.5f at Deauville on 20 October. Up in trip and must be respected on return to competition
  29. TEVERE – Placed twice in four starts thus far. Well beaten at Fontainebleau on 6 March in a 9f maiden and has work to do in this company
  30. SHARIPA – Newcomer by Lope De Vega out of Shabyt. Half-sister to several Black type performers and must be given consideration on debut
  31. TANA MA – Newcomer by Iffraaj out of Together Apart. Dam was unplaced in only run and this filly is unlikely to trouble the judges on debut
  32. MOONLIT ROSE – Newcomer by Pinatubo out of Sweet Rose. 1/2 sister to top-class middle distance performer Notable Speech. Must be respected
  33. BAIETA – Newcomer by Victor Ludorum out of One Last Night. 1/2 sister to a dual winner in the US and local betting will be used as the best guide
    Summary: Unlucky on debut and second to a smart prospect, TIMES JUBILEE (2) was an eye-catching finisher on this occasion and makes plenty of appeal here. SONATINE (6) did not enjoy the testing ground in her last start in a Listed Race and finds here a good spot to show what she is capable of. SHARIPA (8) is well related and must be respected. Little sister to Champion horse Notable Speech, MOONLIT ROSE (10) is another debutant who should be included in calculations.

  40. DALIASIR – Newcomer by Sea The Moon out of Dalma who produced one previous winner. Top connections and must be shortlisted

  43. GLORIO – Newcomer by Cloth of Stars out of Havre Royal. Yard is not renown for having success with debutant and is best to watch
    Summary: CZAJKOWSKI (3) was 2nd in a Group 3 last year and should not be a maiden for too much longer. He is the top choice here ahead of ALAM (1) who made a good impression in both public starts thus far. newcomer DALIASIR (7) is well-related and comes from a red-hot yard. he should attract plenty of support. Stablemate to the former, DEFINING (9) is another debutant who must be closely monitored.

    Summary: RUMPUMPEL (11) delivered a cracking debut when running third and with the first time experience out the way, she would have certainly come on leaps and bounds to do justice in her second time asking. PERSIAN GRACE (4) has been second in charge in her two career outings and looks perfectly poised to strike as she will appreciate the extra distance.

NOTIONI FAL (11) was not far off the top choice in their last meeting when finishing third and they renew their rivalry here where she is now 4.5kgs better off at the weight which will be a big motivator for her to finish closer. BLEU NEUIT (3) is never far off the action and holds a good place chance on form. NORTHERN TERRITORY (4) will enjoy the step up in trip and must be considered here.

    Summary: BABY HARTWOOD (4) met a competitive Class 2 field back at the track and trip last time out and was not disgraced when finishing fifth. He steps down in Class here where he can be more effective. TIMBER CIRCLE (6) is lightly raced and is another who takes a step down in division. She has the ability to polish up and make a big splash. MONDO BOY (7) comes into the race off a victory and with his confidence on the rise, he could continue this positive movement here.

  97. READY TO GO – Not the best run in 8th in a Class 3 Handicap over 2600m at Fontainebleau on the 13th of March 2026. Best to look elsewhere
  98. ANDY’S SPIRIT – Ran 6th in a Class 3 Handicap over 2000m at Compiegne on the 27th of March 2026. Others preferred on form
  99. EASTMAN – Credible 2nd in a Class 4 Handicap over 2000m at Marseille Borely on the 18th of March 2026. Include in all plays
  100. POLNOR – Discouraging 9th in a Class 3 Handicap over 1900m at Deauville on the 7th of February 2026. Others seem more intriguing
    Summary: RUE POUSSIN (1) just found one better than her last time out but is a filly that packs tons of ability. With the right accolades at hand, she looks to take a power of beating here. LELIO (8) redeemed herself last time out into running second but does have the urge to break the maiden shackles off his hooves. He must be given serious consideration. GOT FLOWER (10) is in absolute fine fettle at the moment and if the top two are caught asleep, she could blossom and take full advantage here. Supplemented LONDOLPOLO (5) holds a podium chance if wise up to the task.
