R1 CAGNES-SUR-MER [L-H]

C1 – PRIX D’AUTEUIL – 3300m (a2m1/8) – TURF – Class 4 Race – Hurdles – EUR € 35,000

  1. SALAMALEK – 6th in a Class 2 hurdle at this track over 3500m on December 2nd. Can get off the mark here
  2. LAUTREC BLAGNY – Unplaced in all six of his runs so far, the latter over 3550m at Fontainebleau on November 20th in a Class 4 hurdle. Pass over
  3. JOJO JUNIOR – Flat winner over 1200m last year and 2nd in a Class 1 race, his form has regressed and now tries hurdles after a poor run in a claimer on August 14th over 1600m. Bets watched for now
  4. LE TUNISIEN – Unplaced on the two runs so far over hurdles, 4th before that on the flat at Nancy over 2500m on October 27th. Has some ability and can make the frame
  5. SOROWEN – Did not show much on the flat and failed to complete the course on hurdles debut at this track 7 days ago over 3300m. Hard to recommend
  6. VITUS BERING – Unplaced on hurdles debut at this track 7 days ago over 3300m, placed on the flat four times and an improved run can be expected
  7. SI BON – Fair 5th last time in a hurdle race at this track over 3300m on December 2nd. Ought to be on the premises
  8. NOUS – Credible 6th in a Class 4 hurdle at this track on December 4th over 3400m. Among the leading chances
  9. LUGUBRISS – Unplaced on the one run over 3300m at this track 7 days ago over hurdles. needs vast improvement to feature
    Summary: With very little form over hurdles to go on, it may be worth taking a chance on SALAMALEK (1) who showed signs of promise when he was sixth in a Class 2 hurdle at this track 7 days ago. SI BON (7) can also be on the premises and was a fair fifth 7 days ago at this track over hurdles. NOUS (8) looks like a safe option for the each-way backers to latch on to. VITUS BERING (6) has placed form on the flat and is better than he showed on his hurdles debut at this track a week ago.
    SELECTIONS
    SALAMALEK (1) – SI BON (7) – NOUS (8) – VITUS BERING (6)
    C2 – PRIX DU GENERAL DU CORAIL – 3800m (a2m1/2) – TURF – Claiming – Steeple Chase – EUR € 20,000
  10. BATTLE CONNEXION – Unplaced last time over 3500m at this track 7 days ago in a handicap hurdle, won before that on November 17th in a claiming hurdle at Nimes. Ought to make the frame
  11. SLINKY MALINKI – Fair 4th over 3700m at Clairefontaine in a handicap chase on August 5th. Useful in this class of race. Can play a lead role
  12. NIKA NOWER – Has failed to complete the course in two starts over hurdles, the latter over 3800m at Vitre on October 6th in a Class 4 race. Hard to fancy on his chasing debut
  13. KATHLEEN – Won last time over 3600m at Fontainebleau in a Class 3 chase on November 20th. One to pay attention too
  14. KILOMETRE ZERO – Credible 4th over 3500m in a Class 4 chase at Meslay-Du-Maine when last seen on November 17th. Ought to be in the shake-up
  15. FOLLOW TO FOLLOW – Two unplaced runs of late, 2nd before that over 3600m at Fontainebleau in a claiming chase on October 14th. Capable but not reliable
  16. KOMTESA – Nice 3rd 7 days ago at this track in a handicap chase over 3800m and a win before that in a claiming chase at Nimes on November 1st. Player
  17. MISTER SECRET – Two unplaced runs since a win on his debut at Argentan in a Class 4 hurdle over 3800m on March 2nd. Chase debut and others look more likely
  18. KA FEE INN – 6th in a handicap hurdle last time, 4th before that at Saint-Brieuc over 3600m in a claiming chase on October 27th. Needs a few to misfire
    Summary: SLINKY MALINKI (2) was a good fourth at Clairefontaine when last seen in early August and will be ready after a break for this. KATHLEEN (4) will be in a good frame of mind after a recent win late last month at Fontainebleau. She looks like the main danger. KILOMETRE ZERO (5) looks the one to side with each way. KOMTESA (7) should not be ruled out after two recent efforts that include a win two starts ago at Nimes in November.
    SELECTIONS
    SLINKY MALINKI (2) – KATHLEEN (4) – KILOMETRE ZERO (5) – KOMTESA (7)

  19. INSTAR DE REVE – Fair 5th over 4000m 5 days ago at this track in a handicap hurdle and is capable of being involved despite top weight
  20. LOU FAST – Won on the latest run over 3600m at Auteuil on November 30th in a handicap hurdle. Can make the frame at nice odds
  21. GURZUF – Two unplaced runs recently, 2nd at Auteuil before that over 3600m in a Listed hurdle on September 10th. Can make the top three
  22. BOJAK – 6th last time, 2nd before that over 3800m at Dieppe on June 29th in a handicap hurdle. Ought to be thereabouts
  23. HALITE – Credible 4th recently over 4000m in a handicap hurdle on December 4th at this track. In the mix
  24. NIPPER – Has decent form of late, 3rd last time, and won twice before that, with the latter of them over 3800m at Compiegne on November 11th in a handicap hurdle. Place chance
  25. LE PETIT NICE – Unplaced last time, won before that over 3600m at Waregem (BEL) on August 27th over hurdles. Unlikely to feature
  26. TONERRE DU TEMPS – Five unplaced runs since a win over 3800m at Dieppe on June 20th in a handicap hurdle. Needs to bounce back to form but is capable of doing so
  27. JOUVANCELLE – Two unplaced runs recently, 4th before that over 4400m at Auteuil on October 2nd in a Class 3 chase. One to keep safe
  28. BRIC – Two recent unplaced runs, 3rd at Argentan over 4200m in a Class 4 hurdle on October 20th before that. Opposable
  29. JAZZY BAIE – 4th on the latest outing over 4000m at this track 7 days ago in a handicap hurdle. Needs a few to misfire
  30. JUST A GIGOLO – Three unplaced runs recently, 3rd at Le Touquet on September 8th in a Class 4 hurdle before that. Makes limited appeal
  31. VOLKOV JELOIS – Has been in good form of late, 3rd at Waregem (BEL) on the latest over 4600m over fences on August 27th. Might prefer fences
  32. FIRST DREAM – Good 2nd last time over 4000m at this track on December 2nd in a handicap hurdle. Can make presence felt off a low weight
  33. BOB MORANE – Fair 3rd over 4000m 7 days ago at this track in a handicap hurdle. Can make the frame at attractive odds
  34. JOLIFOU DE GUYE – Has several unplaced runs of late, the latter 7 days ago at this track over 4000m in a handicap hurdle. Look elsewhere
    Summary: FIRST DREAM (14) is racing off the right end of the handicap and can go one better than he did last time when he was a good second at this track 7 days ago at his racecourse. INSTAR DE REVE (1) has top weight to deal with but can be the one that gives the main selection the most to do. GURZUF (3) is a live option for the each-way backers to take seriously. BOJAK (4) warrants respect and is another that can be competitive.

    FIRST DREAM (14) – INSTAR DE REVE (1) – GURZUF (3) – BOJAK (4)
    C4 – PRIX KATKO – 4200m (a2m1/2) – TURF – Handicap – Steeple Chase – EUR € 66,000
  35. IMBATABLE DU SEUIL – Unplaced in two Graded chases of late, 3rd before that in a handicap chase, and a win in a Grade 3 chase at Auteuil in April over 4700m. Classy operator
  36. NYIRI – Nice 4th at Auteuil over 4300m in a Listed hurdle on November 16th on his latest start. Course winner over fences and can feature
  37. REVE DE PRINCE – Unplaced last time, 4th before that over 3900m in a Listed hurdle at Auteuil on September 28th. Has placed form over fences at this track. Hard to rule out of the frame
  38. VEZZANA – Won last time over 3800m at this track in a handicap chase on December 2nd. Will not lack for match fitness but others preferred
  39. OKTENTE – Fair 3rd last time over 3800m at this track on December 2nd in a handicap chase. Can be on the premises
  40. JOLYMIN – Unplaced 7 days ago at this track over fences, a win before that at Nancy on October 27th over 4200m in a Class 4 chase was better. Looks vulnerable
  41. BLEKOLINA – 5th last time over this track in a handicap hurdle over 4000m 7 days ago. A course winner over fences before and warrants respect
  42. SPES ENERGICALL – Fair 2nd last time at this track 7 days ago over 3800m in a handicap chase. Needs more consistency
    Summary: IMBATABLE DU SEUIL (1) will be more at home in calmer waters after two runs in Graded chases recently. He won a Grade 3 chase in April at Auteuil and was a decent third over fences in September at the same track. He can score from NYIRI (2) who is a course winner over 3200m in a Class 1 chase last year and ran well to be fourth recently in a Listed hurdle. OKTENTE (5) and BLEKOLINA (7) both warrant respect and can duel for minor honours.

    C5 – PRIX UBU III – 3400m (a2m1/8) – TURF – Claiming – Hurdles – EUR € 20,000
  43. LIMBLE SEA – Unplaced on the latest run 5 days ago at this track over 3300m in a hurdles race, 4th before that on the flat in October. Has work to do but has ability

  45. LYS D’OR – Two unplaced runs of late, won before that over 3800m at Vitre on October 6th in a claiming hurdle. Can place at nice odds
  46. COCOTTE ROYALE – Two unplaced runs so far, the latter over 3550m in a Class 4 hurdle at Fontainebleau on November 20th. Hard to fancy
  47. STYLE AROMA – Three unplaced runs since a win at Vertou over 3150m in a maiden hurdle on August 25th. Needs to get back on track
  48. LUNA LUPA – Unplaced on the one run over hurdles at this track 5 days ago, she won before that on the flat at Auch on September 8th in a claimer over 2650m. Can be competitive
  49. ARISTOCRATIE – Unplaced on the one run over 3550m at Fontainebleau on October 5th over hurdles in a Class 4 race. Can be avoided

  55. KISSY – 6th last time, won before that over 3400m at Nimes in a claiming chase on November 17th. Leading chance back over hurdles
    Summary: MELODY NELSON (2) showed promise on her debut at Fontainebleau in March when she was a pleasing second. Her latest run was over fences when she failed to complete the course, back over hurdles this time she is preferred to KISSY (13) who also reverts to hurdles after a couple of runs over fences, which included a win at Nimes on her penultimate start. IN MY LIFE (10) could be a sensible option each way and SPRING WAY (12) is also worth considering.
    SELECTIONS
    MELODY NELSON (2) – KISSY (13) – IN MY LIFE (10) – SPRING WAY (12)

  56. LILLOU – Has several unplaced runs of late, the latter over 3500m at this track 5 days ago in a Class 2 hurdle. Unlikely to threaten some of these

  60. MANDEGA – Nice 3rd last time over 3200m at Worcester (GBR) on July 18th. He was placed several times before that on the flat and over hurdles, and won at Fontainebleau on the flat. Back in France and can feature
  61. PACIFIQUE WAVE – Unplaced last time, 3rd over 3800m at Nimes on November 11th in a Class 4 chase before that. One to keep safe

  65. ALGAJUST – 5th last time, 2nd before that over 3400m at Nimes in a claiming hurdle on November 17th. Among the leading place chances
  66. KING DES GENIEVRES – Three unplaced runs of late, the latter when he failed to finish over 3600m at Granville in a Class 3 chase on August 15th. Looks of limited ability

His recent runs have been in the UK when trained by Micky Hammond and he can score on his debut for new connections. I WALK THE LINE (7) can be competitive and give the selection the most to do. KADIJA (4) was fourth last week at this track and will be on the premises. SOPRAN LEGER (2) looks best of the remainder.

  80. GRAZANO – Two unplaced on the last two runs, 4th before that on the flat at Nantes on November 1st over 2400m in a Class 4 handicap. Hard to fancy

BEST BOWL (8) could be the main danger as he was second to the selection last week and meets on more favorable terms. Back in third in the same race was ESCORT’JET (11) who can once again give a good account of herself. ZINOA (5) makes up the shortlist.

  56. ELUSIVE NELSON – Finished 3rd in a Class 4 Handicap over 2000m at Marseille Pont De Vivaux on the 19th of November 2024. Include in larger plays
  57. SOIZIYA – Finished 5th over the Hurdles in a Class 4 Conditional over 3400m at Nimes on the 1st of November 2024. One to pass by
    Summary: TRISTE (7) finished 4th over the course and distance in her last start and in her return to the track and distance, she could make this a winning one. A STOLEN KISS (5) is no stranger to the course and distance and a repeat of her last start could see her relish her opponents. CALAS QUEEN (3) must be respected, she understands the business over the track and trip and is a livewire in this field. COME TI AMO (6) has decent form and can be competitive again.

  58. THARPE – Comes into the race fresh off a victory at this track over 1800m on the 4th of November and can follow up. Include in all bets
  59. SINBOULD – Placed 4th over 1800m at this track over 1800m on the 18th of November and can get much closer now. Strong place chance
  60. SEVENTH WONDER – Only managed 8th place over 1600m at Vittel last time and will need to serve up way more than that to feature here
  61. PUMP PUMP LADY – Was victorious in penultimate run, finished 3rd over 1800m last time and should be in the fight out for the places. Include in the quartet
  62. STERN MARKKA – He was impressive in local debut on the 18th of last month over 1800m finishing 2nd and can go one better. Good chance and a must for all bets
  63. SCIANTOSA – Finished 11th over 2400m in a Handicap at Compiegne on the 25th of September and others are far preferred
  64. NEW HOPE – Placed 4th over 2000m in a claiming race at Saint-Cloud on the 15th of November and might be able to lurk into the back end of the quartet. Happy to ignore for today
  65. COCKTAIL DRESS – Will need to progress on last run when 6th over 1800m at this track on the 18th of November and can, but others are preferred
  66. SON VIDA – Caught the eye on debut when finishing 4th over 2000m at Vichy on the 31st of July and can race fresh. She more than likely has plenty more to come and is the winning selection
    Summary: SON VIDA (9) is a filly by Helmet that ran an absolute cracker on debut when finishing 4th over 2000m at Vichy and with natural improvement, should be tough to oppose despite returning from a rest. THARPE (1) comes into the race fresh off a victory at this track albeit in a weak claiming race in early November. Strong claims. STERN MARKKA (5) shone when making the local debut over 1800m on the 18th of last month and has plenty scope to build on that. A must for all bets. SINBOULD (2) can finish in the first four and is a must for the quartet.

  67. HEAREN – She ran an absolute cracker last time when 2nd over 3200m at Chantilly in a Handicap and can go one more. Big runner and a danger to the first choice
  68. MEASTER OWEN – Ignore last two runs, finished 2nd over 2000m in a Handicap at Lyon Parilly on the 17th of September and has an outside place chance. Could provide some attractive value
  69. DSCHINGIS DRAGON – Consistent, maiden win seems near, finished 3rd over 2400m at Pornichet on the 13th of November and has a serious winning chance. Might be hard to beat
  70. ASHIANAS KING – Placed 4th over 2500m in a claiming race at Nancy on the 17th of November and can finish in the first four. Strong each way claims
  71. LIO DE LA PLATA – A daughter of Rio De La Plata out of a House Rules mare that more than likely will need a run or two to tighten up. Pass by
  72. MYA DREAM – Managed only 9th place last time when racing at Mont-De-Marsan over 2000m and plenty more is needed for the win. Happy to pass by
  73. PRIVATE DINNING – Was a winner five starts back but has been a tad disappointing since and will need to find a few lengths to feature here. Happy to ignore from all bets
    Summary: DSCHINGIS DRAGON (3) has placed five times from six starts and the maiden win seems near. She finished 3rd over 2400m at Pornichet on the 13th of November and is confidently selected to win. HEAREN (1) has consistent form and finished 2nd at Chantilly just the other day and should be very competitive at the business end. MAESTER OWEN (2) can do way better than his last two efforts and is one for the shortlist. ASHIANAS KING (4) has shown some ability in both starts in France and should win locally soon.

  77. I’M ON MY WAY – Much better effort last time when 3rd over 3000m at Chantilly on the 23rd of last month in Handicap class. Big chance and a must for all bets
  78. ZILCOVER – Won over 3000m at Vichy four races back but has been average since therefore making it hard to assess how he will go. Prefer others
  79. EXHIT – Will need to do way more than latest 6th finish at Deauville over 2500m and others should be way stronger
  80. LAMALINK – Placed only 8th last time when racing over 2600m at Nimes and will need to serve up a lot more to feature here. Happy to ignore from all bets
  81. REGINA LILLIE – Current form has been on the decline for some time and over various trips. Hard to make a case for and would be a surprise winner
  82. AMERICAN SAINT – Only managed 11th place last time and much more is needed to threaten here. Happy to ignore from all bets
    Summary: DARLYVI (1) was victorious three runs back, followed up with a bad run, then posted a much better effort when 5th over 2700m at Chantilly. She has strong each way claims. JUFULL DU SEUIL (3) posted a creditable effort when 2nd over 2500m at Deauville late last month and has a huge chance here. Big runner and a must for all bets. I’M ON MY WAY (4) has a strong place chance but is making us wait for the next win. FEEDESREVES (2) is a must for the quartet play. Respect and include.

    R4 AMIENS [R-H]

C1 – PRIX DE L’HIVER – 2400m (a1m1/2) – Class F Race – Harness – EUR € 20,000

  1. JURA – Lightly raced and progressive trotter, especially in this barefoot configuration – at the top of his game after 2 wins from 3 recent appearances, the latest over 2725m at Pornichet on 31 October. Sets the standard
  2. JUST WINNER ROC – Experienced trotter with the means to play a leading role, especially if confirming/building on the form of his last-start 2nd (shod) at Graignes over 2725m on 23 November. Yoann Lebourgeois in the sulky an advantage
  3. JEROM BUTTERFLY – Regained momentum recently in 5 starts after a 4-month break, confirming the form and improvement of his 2nd at Chartres in October by finishing 4th over 2500m at Reims on 14 November (both in this shoe-fitting)
  4. JOAL FIX – Honest hard-knocker with sound references/form credentials – seldom far off the mark, though hard to win with (2 wins from 37 starts). Didn’t go unnoticed (6th) in a course-and-distance event on 15 November
  5. JERIDAN JASMA – Versatile but unreliable trotter who isn’t entirely incapable of getting into the picture if bouncing back from a last-start disqualification in a similar course-and-distance contest on 5 October. For lovers of outsiders
  6. JOYAU PIYA – Inconsistent but undeniably capable performer whose last-start 2800m victory at Chartres on 26 November proved he retains sufficient means. Confirmation expected
  7. JARVIS – Sparingly raced trotter with the form and experience to play a leading role, even with his irons fitted. Caught the eye when finishing 5th (shod) over 2500m at Reims on 14 November resuming after a 6-month absence
  8. JERRY PAULO – Placed once (3rd) in 7 appearances this year but disqualified in 3 outings, including his latest at Mauquenchy over 2850m on 17 November. Others preferred
  9. JUPITER D’ALIENIS – Honest hard-knocking trotter with sound references/form credentials, which include finishing 3rd in 2 of his last 3 starts – the latest over 2850m at Mauquenchy on 22 November. Dark horse
  10. JOUR DES RACQUES – Consistent hard-knocker who seldom finishes far off the mark but rarely wins – just 1 victory from 24 starts. Didn’t go unnoticed when finishing 6th over 2800m at Chartres on 26 November
  11. JUSSIEU PIYA – Opened his account at Castéra-Verduzan over 2150m in August but made no impression in his 2 subsequent starts, the latest (10th) on this track over the same distance on 15 November. For another day
  12. JAG DE TOI – Improved recently in 3 starts with this shoeing configuration. Confirmed as much with a course-and-distance victory on 15 November so shouldn’t be taken lightly, despite his second-row starting berth
  13. JAGUAR D’ERABLE – He revealed considerable promise early in his career but has flattered to deceive this year (disqualified twice and unplaced 4 times in 6 starts this year, the latest (7th) over 2950m at Saint-Malo on 1 November. Could do better racing in this shoe-fitting for the first time
  14. JARODE PAULOIS – Confirmed the form/improvement of his Strasbourg 2nd last month by filling the runners-up berth again at Agen over 2575m on 17 November. Attractive outsider
    Summary: JURA (1) won easily enough at Pornichet last time to suggest that he can follow up against this opposition. JUST WINNER ROC (2) is ideally positioned behind the autostart and is expected to challenge for race honours, especially with Yoann Lebourgeois at the helm. Lightened in his shoeing, JAGUAR D’ERABLE (13) could overcome his awkward starting berth to have a say in the outcome. JOYAU PIYA (6) isn’t taken lightly and will be on the premises too.

  16. GAVROCHE ANABA – Out-of-sorts veteran trotter, soundly beaten in consecutive recent starts – the latest (10th) on 26 November at Chartres over 2825m. Best watched for now
  17. HELICIO BELLO – Consistent hard-knocker who seldom finishes far off the mark but rarely wins – has 2 victories from 56 starts. Shouldn’t be hastily condemned for finishing 10th in a 2850m amateur race at Mauquenchy on 24 November
  18. GUEPARD DU PIRE – Versatile hard-knocker with sound references in both trotting disciplines. Shouldn’t be hastily condemned for his recent failure (disqualification) in a 2825m mounted race at Le Croisé-Laroche on 25 November
  19. GIRLY D’HUON – Experienced veteran mare with sound references under these conditions/in this barefoot configuration. Not taken lightly in a race of this nature, despite finishing 9th over 2700m at Vincennes on 23 November

  21. FRINGANT PACHA – A veteran trotter whose efficiency/competitiveness at this level and under these conditions is beyond doubt. Showed his form and well-being with an encouraging 4th over 2825m at Chartres on 26 November
  22. HISTOIRE DE JAVA – Versatile veteran with sound references in both codes – seldom finishes far off the mark. Didn’t go unnoticed when finishing 6th in a 2850m mounted race at Mauquenchy on 24 November
  23. HOUPLALA LIRE – Experienced mare with references at a higher level, though most effective racing unshod. Soundly beaten in her last 2 starts, both shod – the latest (14th) in a 2750m Quinte+ event at Cabourg on 12 July. Watch for now
  24. HARRY DE MIENNAIS – Soundly beaten in 3 consecutive recent outings, the latest (14th) over 2800m at Vire on 1 December. Judged on his best references, he could get into the picture in a race of this nature Yoann Lebourgeois at the helm
  25. HIC DU MOUCHEL – Inconsistent but undeniably capable performer with references at a higher level under these conditions/with this shoeing configuration. Didn’t go unnoticed when 7th over 2500m at Reims on 24 November – keep safe
  26. HAYRTON MAGIC – Delicate (seldom far from a fault) but retains the means to play a leading role in a race of this ilk if remaining wise. Disqualified in consecutive recent starts, the latest at Mauquenchy on 22 November – not taken lightly
  27. HECTOR DU MINON – Won back-to-back 2550m races at Dieppe in September but lost her way since – disqualified in 3 subsequent appearances and unplaced twice, including her last start (10th) at Mauquenchy over 2850m on 28 November
  28. GRILLE PAIN – Unbeaten in 2 starts with this shoe-fitting but hasn’t been seen since winning over 2550m at Bordeaux a year ago (on 28 December 2023). Not taken lightly on his reappearance, especially in this configuration – beware!
  29. HAS DE COEUR – Bounced back to form with a reassuring 4th over 2800m at Vire on 1 December and needs only to confirm the form/improvement of that performance to fight for victory. Winning chance
  30. HASHTAG CHAMANT – Experienced hard-knocker with sound references/form credentials at a higher level under these conditions. Finished 10th in a much stronger race over 2100m at Vincennes on 17 November but should fare better here
    Summary: A hard race to assess so caution is advised. HAS DE COEUR (15) bounced back to form with an encouraging last start and will play a leading role if repeating that performance. Hard-knocker HENZO DREAM (6), experienced HASHTAG CHAMANT (16) and delicate HAYRTON MAGIC (12) are also legitimate contenders for a podium berth. FRINGANT PACHA (7) and HORSE DE GRAMMONT (1) can make their presence felt too.

  33. HORIZON D’AMARO – Delicate trotter, seldom far from a fault – disqualified in 4 of his last 5 races, including each of his last 3 starts. Returned from a 3-month absence faulting at Mauquenchy on 28 November – retains the means to do better
  34. HOTESSE NAY – Experienced mare with sound form references but is most effective without her irons (unshod). Absent since finishing 4th over 2550m at Reims on 20 May – best watched for now
  35. HAKIM DES CHAMPS – A complicated trotter (rarely far from a fault) but usually acquits himself well when avoiding disqualification. Confirmed as much with a reassuring 3rd over 2725m at Graignes on 23 November – keep safe
  36. IGOLO – Inconsistent and out of sorts recently but has references at a higher level and retains sufficient means to win a race of this nature. Well-beaten 12th at Mauquemchy (2850m) on 13 November – could well redeem himself
  37. HEIDI DU BISET – A model of consistency with solid form references/credentials at this level and in this shoeing configuration, including a last-start 4th over 2550m at Bordeaux on 24 November. Candidate for success
  38. HELICE DU TREZON – Bounced back from a disappointing performance (9th) at Reims with a reassuring 3rd at Le Croisé-Laroche in a 2700m amateur race on 2 December. Not taken lightly
  39. IMPRESS ME – Consistent hard-knocker with sound references/form credentials, including a last-start 4th at Vincennes over 2850m on 27 November. Attractive outsider
  40. HAZEL DOPE – A model of consistency and is in good form, albeit at a lower level – finished 2nd in a 2900m amateur race at this venue on 1 December. For another day
  41. IBRAHIM DU RIB – Experienced hard-knocker with sound references under these/similar conditions, especially in this (barefoot) configuration. Not taken lightly in a race like this, despite finishing 10th at Le Croisé-Laroche on 1 November
  42. ISIA DU CHENE – Delicate and seldom far from a fault but won back-to-back races in July before fluffing her lines (disqualified) at Argentan on 10 August. Absent since but is barefoot on her return with David Thomain engaged – respect
    Summary: IGOLO (6), despite finishing unplaced in both comeback outings after a long absence, is an attractive betting proposition and will be hard to beat if rediscovering his earlier form, especially under these favourable conditions. He is ideally engaged and is taken to get the better of ultra-consistent HEIDI DU BISET (7), who will have her supporters with Yoann Lebourgeois in the sulky. ISIA DU CHENE (12), HAKIM DES CHAMPS (5) and HERCULE DE BEA (2) complete the shortlist.

  46. JEUNE ORANGE COTON – Complicated mare, rarely far from a fault though usually acquits herself well when avoiding disqualification. Shouldn’t be hastily condemned for her latest failure at Cordemais on 24 November. All or nothing
  47. JOIE GIBUS – She lost her way/form early this year at a higher level and shouldn’t be underestimated/hastily condemned, despite finishing 11th at Mauquenchy on 10 November when resuming after a 9-month absence. Keep safe
  48. JAHIA DU TRIO – Last-start winner in this (barefoot) configuration at Pornichet over 2725m on 31 October and she should play another leading role here under similar conditions. Respected

  50. JOYCE MESS – Consistent hard-knocker with sound references. Shouldn’t be hastily condemned for her latest failure (11th) over 2825m at Cordemais on 24 November – can do better
  51. JONCTION HAUFOR – Disqualified more often than not (in 7 of her last 8 starts) but has the undeniable means to win a race like this if applied/remaining wise. The drop in class and switch to this shoe-fitting for the first time could well prove a masterstroke – question of wisdom
  52. JULIE DU PERCHE – Complicated mare, disqualified in 4 of her last 5 appearances – the latest at Ecommoy on 22 September. Must reaffirm – for another day
  53. JIRCA DU COQ – Experienced mare soundly beaten (unplaced) in all 9 appearances this year, the latest (12th) at Chartres over 2800m on 26 November. Others preferred
  54. JAMAICA ISLAND – Delicate mare, seldom far from a fault – disqualified in 4 consecutive starts, the latest on this course over the same distance on 1 December when resuming after a 6-month absence. Best watched for now
  55. JOCONDE DES PRES – Inconsistent and out of sorts recently but is undeniably capable of redeeming herself in a race of this nature. Didn’t go unnoticed when finishing 7th at Cordemais over 2825m on 24 November – attractive outsider
  56. JEZABEL DU BISTON – Honest hard-knocker with sound references/form credentials at this level in this unshod configuration. Didnt go unnoticed when finishing 6th over 2550m at Reims on 14 November – place chance from the second row
    Summary: JONCTION HAUFOR (9) continues to frustrate and has been costly to follow but she retains the undeniable means to win a race of this nature. Everything will again be a question of wisdom for the enigmatic mare. Last-start Chartres scorer JUDITH D’ARBAZ (2) is ideally positioned and favourably engaged under these conditions. She seems best equipped to pick up the pieces should the selection fluff her lines. Delicate YOUNG ORANGE COTON (4), JAKARTA MADRIK (1) with Yoann Lebourgeois, and recent Pornichet winner JAHIA DU TRIO (6) appeal most of the remainder.

  58. KRONOS DE TROIS – Has ability but was disqualified in a class F at Reims over 2550m on 14 November. Remains barefoot. Capable of bouncing back to be competitive if wise
  59. KID DES PLEIGNES – Well beaten 8th in a class E Angoulême over 2750m on 6 October. The last two efforts have been poor and others make much more appeal
  60. KING DE LA COTE – Fifth at Rouen-Mauquenchy over 2150m on 10 November. Others are preferred in this line-up

  65. KARYNNDO ROBSEN – Finished 7th in a class F at Reims over 2550m on 24 November. In and out of form and it is hard to trust

    Summary: KING DE L’ORMERIE (1) won when he was at this track before and in a weak race he can score again. KRONOS DE TROIS (2) faulted last time out but does have some ability and would not be a surprise winner. So for that matter KARAMBA KARACHO (5) can also be considered a threat in this line-up. KASH ELEVEN (10) ran well at Le Croise-Laroche and also has a winning chance on the back of this effort.

LA VERITE (14) tries going right-handed this time but has been good so far and is clearly in with a winning chance. LA NUIT JE MENS (3) showed improvement last time out and is another to consider.
