R1 ENGHIEN [L-H]

C1 – PRIX DES BUTTES CHAUMONT – 2875m (a2m) – – Harness – EUR € 46,000

  1. FABIUS ORS – Ran 8th in a Class B over 2,100m at Vincennes on 7 September. Did not perform badly against stronger opposition and he might have a say in the finish
  2. FRISEE KB FONT – Disqualified in a Class E over 1,609m at Argentan on 8 August. He will need to keep his mind on trotting but that could be a case of hit-and-miss. If he does put it all together, he could have an impact on the outcome
  3. OLIVER SCHERMER – Disqualified in a Class C over 2,700m at Vincennes on 22 September. He started his career in Sweden and although his two runs at Vincennes were not good, he could be a different proposition in his first start at Enghien
  4. LOOK DE VALAILLES – A poor 11th in a Class B over 2,800m at Rambouillet on 20 September. He received treatment after his last start and will be using this race as a stepping-stone to a later event. Will race fully shod this time
  5. SOKRATES – Finished 4th in a Class E over 2,700m at Vincennes on 5 September. Another trotter trained in Germany, he finished behind BLACK HEUVELLAND (9) last time but he could reverse the form on this track
  6. LEAD ME ON – Finished 10th in a Class E at Vincennes over 2,100m on 11 September. He appears to have lost his form so will need to improve to have any chance
  7. LUCIUS DE PUCH – Finished 7th in a Class B over 2,800m at Le Croise-Laroche on 8 September. Has run well at this course and he does have excuses for his recent moderate runs. However, could be a decent outsider
  8. LORD ON WAY – Outclassed the opposition in a Class E at La Capelle over 2,700m on 21 September. Comes off three successive victories and even having his first run at the course should not stand in his way
  9. BLACK HEUVELLAND – A quality 2nd in a Class E over 2,700m at Vincennes on 5 September. Trained in Germany, he has put up some useful performances at Vincennes and should not be troubled by the flat Enghien track. A strong challenger
  10. LORD SUN DRALIAM – A disappointing 12th in a Class E over 2,875m at Angers on 9 September. There were excuses for his last run and if he does produce his best form, he could fight out the finish
  11. LONGWOOD D’HERIPRE – Unplaced in a Class B at Rambouillet over 2,800m on 20 September. He is better than that last run and the fact he has won at this track brings him into the mix
  12. TAURUS CROWN – Excellent runner-up in a Class D at Enghien over 2,150m on 8 August. Is in good form and is proven at this track. With driver Eric Raffin in control, he needs to be considered
  13. L’AS DES ISLES – Won in a Class E at Tours Chambray over 2,800m on 6 September. Another trotter in good form, he will be having his first start at Enghien but that should not pose any problems. He is definitely worth taking into account
  14. L’INTOUCHABLE – Disqualified in a Class F over 2,850m at Le Croise-Laroche on 8 September. Will be racing fully shod this time and the best he can hope for is to finish on the heels of the first three
    Summary: LORD ON WAY (8) is in outstanding form and could quite easily notch up a fourth win in a row. He has been winning with ease and although taking on stronger, looks hard to beat. Two Germany-based trotters, BLACK HEUVELLAND (9), who will be driven by Benjamin Rochard, and SOKRATES (5), finished second and fourth at Vincennes last time, stand out. TAURUS CROWN (12) has good form at this course, while LONGWOOD D’HERIPRE (11) also need to be considered.

    LORD ON WAY (8) – BLACK HEUVELLAND (9) – SOKRATES (5) – TAURUS CROWN (12)
    C2 – PRIX DU HAUT RHIN – 2150m (a1m1/4) – – Harness – EUR € 38,000
  15. OVER THE HILL – Finished 4th in a Class C at Vincennes over 2,175m on 24 August. Followed up a debut win with another promising performance and could place
  16. ORION MADRIK – Disqualified in a Class C over 2,175m at Vincennes on 24 August. Not always the most consistent runner but can run well when in the mood
  17. OLIVIO BELLO – Finished 4th in a Class C at Enghien over 2,150m on 26 September. He has performed well against decent opposition and cannot be ignored in this field
  18. ORLANDO MAGIC – Disqualified in a Class C over 2,150m at Enghien on 26 September. Has done little wrong so far and must have a place chance
  19. OSKAR WILDE – Fourth in a Class C at Vincennes over 2,200m on 15 September. Put in a potent finish last time and a win cannot be far off
  20. OPEN D’OAM – Disqualified in a Class E over 2,150m at Enghien on 6 September. Needs to up her game to feature
  21. OLTEN SIBEY – Finished 3rd in a Class C at Vincennes over 2,200m on 15 September. That was a decent first run and with natural improvement he could be a factor
  22. ORION JIEL – Finished 2nd in a Class F over 2,550m at Reims on 13 September. That was a promising run but does face stronger this time
  23. OLIU MAG – Disqualified in a Class E over 2,000m at Rambouillet on 6 September. After a promising debut he has had two disqualifications and needs to prove himself
  24. OURAGAN D’ORLY – Disqualified last time out in a Class G at Evreux over 2,100m on 27 September. Massive improvement is needed
  25. OLYMPIC DU COQ – A moderate 6th in a Class C over 2,200m at Vincennes on 15 September. Has been medicocre so far
  26. OPERA D’ELORAC – Fourth in a Class E at Les Andelys over 2,525m on 13 September. Faces a lot stronger this time and will battle
    Summary: There is little question that ORION MADRIK (2) has ability on his day but needs to keep his mind on the job. The stable is in top form and he could be the one beat. OSKAR WILDE (5) ran well last time and stands out as the main danger along with OLIVIO BELLO (3), who has placed in all his races so far and deserves respect. OVER THE HILL (1) is in good form and could be upset material.
    SELECTIONS
    ORION MADRIK (2) – OSKAR WILDE (5) – OLIVIO BELLO (3) – OVER THE HILL (1)

  30. LILIUM TUILERIE – Winner of a Class R over 2,800m at Langon on 19 September. Back in a Claimer this time he must have a strong winning chance
  31. LINDA DES LANDES – Came home 9th in a Class E at Nantes over 3,000m on 25 September. Will battle to be competitive
  32. LADY DE BEYLEV – Winner of a Class R over 2,825m at Vire Normandie on 20 September. In form, has Eric Raffin in the driver’s seat and must be respected
  33. MESTA ATALANTE – A mediocre 7th in a Class E over 2,850m at Feurs on 16 September. Will need to up her game to feature
  34. LEON DE SOURCE – Disqualified in a Class F over 2,800m at Rambouillet on 20 September. Will need to do better but drops in class and could prove a threat
  35. LUCKY DU BOUFARD – A poor 12th in a Class F over 2,800m at Chartres on 11 September. Unlikely to make any impact
  36. LOYAL ELEVEN – A poor 9th in a Class F over 2,800m at Chartres on 11 September. Has little chance based on current form
  37. LABELLE DU JOUR – Second in a Class F at Le Pertre over 2,750m on 26 September. Is in good form but meets stronger this time

  40. MAESTRIA GALAA – Finished 6th in a Class R over 2,100m at Vincennes on 22 September. Did not have the best of fortune last time and she will benefit from the step up in trip
  41. MEA CULPA – Ran 4th in a Class R over 2,100m at Vincennes on 22 September. Will need things to go his way in order to feature
  42. LAIKA DES MARES – Disqualified in a Class R over 2,150m at Enghien on 26 September. She is better than that last run and back in a Claimer must have a chance
  43. LUTIN JABA – A decent 3rd in a Class R over 2,150m at Enghien on 26 September. Has improved since moving to Victoriane Goetz and tries further this time but could be the surprise package
  44. LITTLE WINGS – A decent 2nd in a Class R over 2,150m at Enghien on 6 September. Has proven herself in both this class and at this course and should fight out the finish
    Summary: LILIUM TUILERIE (4) is a strong frontrunner who will have a winning chance as long as he is able to take the lead and dictate matters. LITTLE WINGS (18) has been running well in claiming races and has to be a threat in this field. If he can produce his best form LEON DE SOURCE (8) should play a leading role in this event. LUTIN JABA has done well since moving to a new stable and has the ability to pull off a surprise.

  48. MONTGENEVE – Finished 3rd in a Class D at Vincennes over 2,700m on 15 September. That was not a bad effort and he could have an outside place chance
  49. MALLAURY D’AVEL – Disqualified in a Class D over 2,700m at Vincennes on 6 August. Will need to up her game to feature
  50. MAMMA MIA DE LOU – Disqualified in a Class C over 2,250m at Enghien on 8 July. Comes back from a break and will race with shoes at the back
  51. MY BLACK CADENCE – Unplaced in a Class E at La Capelle over 2,700m on 2 September. Little to enthuse about on current form
  52. MYGIRL DES FORGES – Disqualified in a Class C over 2,850m at Laval on 19 August. Has yet to win a mounted race but now with Charley Mottier needs to be respected. Will race unshod
  53. MARCHAND DE REVE – A respectable 6th in a Class D over 2,100m at Vincennes on 8 August. Will only be having his second run under the saddle and they must have some belief in his ability
  54. MONEY AIMEF – Winner of a Class B over 3,000m at Marseille Borely on September. She has failed in all three races under the saddle so they will be hoping for a better effort
  55. METEORE DU VIVIER – Outclassed the opposition in a Class D at Enghien over 2,875m on 26 September. Winner of his first start under the saddle and could easily double up
  56. MINA DRY – Finished 8th in a Class C over 2,700m at Vincennes on 18 September. She does have a touch of class about her and is capable of a winning performance
    Summary: METEORE DU VIVIER (11) demonstrated he could be a force under the saddle when winning his debut race in this discipline with ease. He should handle the step up in class. MOUSKO DU LUPIN (2) is another who runs well in a mounted race and will race fully shod this time. MINA DRY (12) is a reliable performer who has a touch of class about her, while MYGIRL DES FORGES (8), who runs for a new stable and has Mathieu Mottier in the saddle, will race unshod on this occasion.

  61. IDEFIX DES LANDES – Finished 3rd in a Class D at Rambouillet over 2,800m on 20 September. Unreliable but might pop up in a place

    Summary: Although better suited to right-handed tracks, JACK DES ASS (12) faces opposition well within his capabilities and has a very good opportunity to fight for victory, provided he starts on the right leg. JERENAL D’HAMELINE (11), a tough performer, is likely to give him the most to think about. The in-form JALIMEDE (9) and HELIOS SOMOLLI (13). From the front are both capable of contesting the finish.

However, he faces a serious challenge from the talented HOLD THE LINE (4), who gets on particularly well with his partner of today. HIS DREAM DE CAHOT (12), who is showing signs of a return to form, and HORSY ROYAL (5), who deserves another chance, will also be aiming for a podium finish.

    Summary: With two runs under her belt, the promising NATIVITY QUICK (4) looks capable of returning to winning ways, particularly as she represents a stable in excellent form. NELL DES RIOULTS (1), who was a non-runner at Vincennes last time after becoming too fresh, looks the main danger. The tough NACRE DE MOUTIERS (15) can also make her presence felt, ahead of NOBLE QUEEN (7) who is also not out of it.

    Summary: SACRIFICE (1) ran arguably his best race to date when second in a Class 2 race at Lyon Parilly early in September and he is given the vote ahead of CARAMEL (9), who ran well to be third at Compiegne in mid-September on her latest start and can make the selection work hard. STORY WAY (5) got off the mark last time at Compiegne in a maiden and warrants attention. LACRA (6) looks best of the remainder.

  18. INTIME STAR – Good 2nd on debut at Saint-Malo over 1800m on August 28. She will know more this time and can get off the mark
  19. LAST CARAT FAL – Came home 6th in a Maiden at Craon over 1,650m on 5 September on her second run. Worthy of attention and can make her presence felt
  20. INDIAN BELLE – Finished 7th in a Maiden at Compiegne over 1,800m on 15 September on debut. She has to show a lot more to make the frame
  21. SYNNEFIA – Came home 8th in a Maiden at Lyon-Parilly over 1,600m on 15 September on her second start. Unlikely to be a threat
  22. NAKAIA – Finished 5th in a Maiden at Le Mans over 1,950m on 11 September on her second run. Ought to be thereabouts
  23. ELLYRA – Finished 11th on her sole start over 1600m at Angers in a conditions race on September 21. She has to show vast progress to be involved
  24. OSMOSE PRECIEUSE – Filly by Castle Du Berlais, the dam never ran. Likely to need this run for experience and is best watched on her racecourse bow
  25. HAYA KOVA – Filly by Anodin, the dam ran a few times. Some good aspects to her profile and she is one to consider if the betting vibes are lively
    Summary: INTIME STAR (1) ran a good race when she was second on her debut at Saint-Malo in late August and with natural improvement she can be too smart for LAST CARAT FAL (2), who was not disgraced when last seen at Craon in a maiden early in September on her second start. NAKAIA (5) ran a creditable race when fifth at this track last time and can make the top-three. HAYA KOVA (8) is another to pay attention to and can have a say in proceedings.

  27. NEREUS – Successful in a Maiden at Vichy over 2,000m on 21 September on his second start. Type to keep on progressing and warrants respect
  28. AROK ATAO – Outclassed the opposition in a Maiden at Saint-Cloud over 2,000m on 7 September when last seen. Improving and can follow up
  29. IPANEMA ROSE – Scored on her debut at Chantilly in a conditions race over 2000m on September 19. She will step forward from that and can make her presence felt
  30. ANGEL BREIZH – Won in a Maiden at Craon over 1,650m on 5 September on her latest start. She will need a few to misfire
  31. WHY NOT ME – Gelding by Knight To Behold, the dam won 1 race over hurdles. Expected to improve for this outing and he is best watched with the future in mind
  32. ERRUPTIUM – Gelding by Gutaifan, the dam won 2 races. Stable runners tend to improve for a run or two and he is best watched for the time being
  33. DRITA – Filly by by Blame, the dam ran once in the USA. She does not appeal as a likely first time out winner unless the betting vibes are positive
    Summary: AROK ATAO (3) won well last time at Saint-Cloud and has strong claims of making it two wins from his three starts. His main threat could be NEREUS (2), who got off the mark on his second run at Vichy in a maiden late last month and looks like he can keep on progressing. IPANEMA ROSE (4) should improve from her success on her first day at school at Chantilly in a newcomers event last month and is worthy of consideration. BLACKSKAR (1) is also worth keeping onside.

  36. TRUE TIME – Ran well when 4th on his sole start at Angers over 1600m in a conditions race on September 21. Hard to overlook
  37. COLCHESTER – Came home 4th in a Maiden at Compiegne over 1,800m on 15 September on his only run. He can step forward from his debut and be involved
  38. SLIDING WAY – Finished 6th in a Maiden at Vichy over 2,000m on 21 September on his sole start. He has work ahead to make the frame
  39. KOHANA CHOP – Gelding by Muhaarar, the dam was unraced in France. Some good aspects to his pedigree and he is worth a market inspection
  40. LIKER – Colt by Johhny Barnes, the dam won 5 races. His trainer is not renowned for producing many first time out winners and he is best watched for now
  41. MADH’WORLD – Colt by Madhmoon, the dam was placed once. He is one to watch in the betting exchanges for any market interest
  42. GALADIN – Gelding by Anodin, the dam won 3 races. Stable runners on debut are normally well prepared. The betting can be the best guide
  43. VLATY’LEZ – Colt by Robin Du Nord, the dam won 3 races. He does not appeal as a likely winner on his racecourse bow unless the betting patterns are positive
  44. TESTIRIVER – Gelding by Ebro River, the dam was placed several times. Faces a stiff task on debut and he will likely need this run for experience
  45. FLINTSH DU GROHO – Colt by Flintshire, the dam ran twice. Nice profile and from a respected trainer. He can have a say on his racecourse bow
    Summary: TRUE TIME (3) ran with promise on his debut at Angers when he was fourth late last month. With progress expected he will know what is required this time and is given the nod over COLCHESTER (4), who got the hang of things late on on his debut when he was fourth at Compiegne in a maiden event in mid-September. PICCOLO ANGELO (2) has plenty of experience and arrives after a solid effort when second at Saint-Cloud in a handicap on September 25 over 1600m. This step up in distance can bring out more progress. FLINTSH DU GROHO (12) looks good on paper and is one to pay attention to in the betting on his debut.

  51. ISABELLA GIGANTE – Finished 8th in a Maiden at Angers Eventard over 1,600m on 21 September when last seen. Hard to be enthusiastic about
  52. LIBERTY AMOUR – Came home 8th in a Group III at Longchamp over 1,800m on 5 April on her latest start. She needs to get back to her best form
  53. CHILADA – Finished 4th on her latest start at Lyon Parilly on September 8 in a maiden event. Worth considering each-way
  54. STAR OF HOPE – Creditable 3rd last time over 1800m in a Class 3 race at Dieppe on September 9. Lightly raced and has more to come
  55. FEELGOOD – She has won her last two runs, the most recent over 1400m at Le Lion D’Angers on August 20 in a handicap. Key chance
    Summary: ROSTAK (2) was a fair fourth on his latest start in a Class 2 race at Chantilly in late September and he is the tentative selection ahead of FEELGOOD (10), who has been in top-form with two wins recently and the hat-trick is on the card’s. STAR OF HOPE (9) has acquitted herself well in three starts and has a good bit more to come. She can have a say, as can BALAKIREV (1), who won on debut and was not disgraced on his second start in a Class 2 race early last month at La Teste.

  61. KER WELEN – Finished 6th in a Class 3 at Longchamp over 1,600m on 13 September on his last run. Merits consideration
  62. MODERN SPIRIT – Finished 8th in a Claimer at Fontainebleau over 1,400m on 20 September last time. This will be challenging
  63. BE TRUE – Finished 3rd on his last outing at La Teste over 1600m in a Class 3 race on September 5. Top-three chance

  65. LEOPARDUCCIO – Won in a Class 3 Handicap at Chantilly over 1,600m on 23 September on his last start. Can be on the premises
    Summary: AZIMUTS (5) has a good opportunity of following up on his latest success at Longchamp in a Class 3 race in mid-September. His main threat could be MARKUS (3), who was a decent second in a claimer at Le Lion D’Angers in September when last appearing. LEOPARDUCCIO (10) gained a confidence boosting win at Chantilly late in September in a Class 3 handicap and can not be excluded. KER WELEN (6) is also worthy of a mention.

  69. SHIRDIHENGE – Victorious in a Maiden at Angers Eventard over 1,600m on 21 September when last seen. Tougher task ahead
  70. SOCIANDO – Two unplaced runs of late, 3rd before that at Compiegne over 1600m on July 16 in a handicap. He can get back on track
  71. MICHEL – Third in a Class 3 at La Roche-Posay over 1,700m on 13 September when last seen. In the mix
  72. FELINI – Finished 7th last time over 1400m at Clairefontaine on June 7 in a handicap. Each-way contender
  73. BAIETA – Finished 6th in a Maiden at Senonnes-Pouance over 2,100m on 19 September last time. Hardly inspiring
  74. IRIA CHOPE – Finished 10th on her latest start over 1400m at Dax in a handicap on August 23. Hard to recommend
  75. EXCESSIVE – Finished 7th in a Class 4 Handicap at Longchamp over 1,400m on 13 September. She can make her presence felt off a low weight
  76. FERDY – Four unplaced runs this year, the latter over 1400m at Clairefontaine on July 6 in a handicap. Looks to be of limited talent
  77. HAPP’INES – Finished 8th at Clairefontaine over 1800m in a claiming race on August 29 when last seen. Makes limited appeal
  78. PERSIAN HEROE – Well beaten in 7th on his last start at Dieppe over 1800m in a handicap when last appearing. Look elsewhere
  79. WIL’DREAM – He has not troubled the judge in several runs, 8th at Saint-Cloud on September 11 in a handicap over 1400m. Opposable
  80. BEST SISTER – Back in 6th at Sable Sur-Sarthe on her latest start over 1650m in a claiming race on September 20. One to avoid
    Summary: In a race that lacks depth, it may pay to side with EXCESSIVE (10) who has several placed runs this year and can not be ignored off a competitive racing weight. BUDOKAN (1) has to concede weight to all of his rivals and he can bounce back from a slightly below par run last time. SOCIANDO (5) is one for the each-way backers to take seriously, as is WESTMINSTER COYOTE (3), who ran well to be fourth on his latest start at Dieppe in September.

The main opposition could come from Matthieu Boutin’s MARCHEMALO (2) and MERKUR (4), both of whom have previously contested races at a higher level.

HEMATITE (14) performed well over this course early in her career and, on this weight, must be respected. MICHELANGELO (7) was far from disgraced at Chantilly last time and must be respected this time.

Their stablemate ITAEWON (7) is in excellent form at present and will be bidding to complete a hat-trick. TYSON (4) meets that rival on favourable weight terms and could pose a threat as well.

The main danger could be CRACK CITY (1), who loves this track and has been supplemented for the race. RUE DU SAHEL (5) has little room for error but is a reliable mare who should give her running. JIJI MY LOVE (2), judged on her first-half-of-the-year form, has leading claims but needs to reassure.

    Summary: SACREE PHILOMENE (6) boasts the highest rating in the field and is partnered by Maxime Guyon, so she is likely to attract plenty of support. LAMEGO (1) has to concede weight but represents a formidable stable with two-year-olds. MR SAY (3) already has plenty of experience and deserves respect from stall one. REGAL CHOP (4) is another to note, wearing blinkers for the first time.

  81. SPARKS OF LOVE – Unplaced in a Handicap at Dieppe over 1,800m on 17 September. Off form is capable of making the frame on this surface

    Summary: DEUX PONTS (2) has found handicaps beyond him but can regain confidence at this lower level. He will not have things all his own way, however, with STRATOVULCANO (3) having performed very well at this course during the summer. If adapting to the surface, RUE RECAMIER (5) should have a say in the battle for top honours. MONARCO (1) is a tough colt who should not be underestimated either.

    Summary: VOLCANO (8) could be worth a gamble, despite his recent form being difficult to assess, as he won over this course last winter. MURRAY (10) has caught the eye with his finishing effort on each of his last two starts. LISEO (5) needs a race to unfold to suit, but has the ability to win a race of this nature. Veteran WOFF (3) has nothing left to prove in this type of contest.
