  3. CARO BUONO – Colt by Zelzal, the dam never raced. Likely to improve for this debut run. The betting can be the most informative guide
  4. IMPERIAL ME CEN – Colt by Mehmas, the dam never ran. He looks good on paper and should be on the premises. Watch the betting patterns for clues
  5. MARIYAM – Filly by Dark Angel, the dam won on debut over 1200m. 420,000 euros purchase and bred to be speedy. Bold show can be expected on debut
  6. MISTY CITY – Filly by City Light, the dam was placed twice. Stable runners tend to need a run or two for experience. Monitor the betting for clues

MOOJEED (1) may be the most forward of the colts and should be well prepared by his trainer. INDIFFERENTE (11) has an eye-catching profile—her dam won the Prix Marcel Boussac (Gr.1)—and she warrants a close look in the betting. XAARTA (7) also shapes as a speedy type on pedigree and is one to keep onside.

C3 – PRIX DJEBEL – 1400m (a7f) – TURF – Gr3 Race – Flat – EUR € 80,000

  1. WOODSHAUNA – Recent win over 1300m at Chantilly in a Listed race over 1300m on March 9th on the PSF. Second run on turf and has a place chance
  2. ARABIE – Fair 4th in the Prix Morny (Gr.1) on his last start over 1200m on August 18th and had three wins before that, including the Prix Robert Papin (Gr.2) in July. Player
  3. DYNAMITIC – He won last time out over 1700m at Marseille Borely in a Class 2 race on March 19th. Up in class and he has work to do

  6. MARANOA CHARLIE – Won his first three races last year, including a Group 3 race over 1600m in October, and his only defeat was in the Group 1 Criterium International at Saint-Cloud on October 27th. Should be ready to go

  8. SILIUS – Three nice wins this year, the latter over 1500m in a Listed race at Cagnes-Sur-Mer on February 23rd. Deserves to step up in class and can be a threat
    Summary: MARANOA CHARLIE (6) was only beaten once last year, and that came in a Group 1 in late October. He landed a Group 3 over 1600m, and although dropping back in trip today, his running style suggests it will suit. ARABIE (2), winner of the Prix Robert Papin over 1200m last year, should find today’s distance ideal. SILIUS (8) has notched three wins at Cagnes-Sur-Mer this year, including a Listed race, and is rapidly improving. WOODSHAUNA (1) is another worth considering.

  16. GOT FROST – He has been out of form of late, well beaten at Compiegne on the latest run in a Class 3 handicap on March 28th over 2400m. One to avoid
    Summary: MARCAN (3) returned to form with a solid second at Cagnes-Sur-Mer in mid-January in a Class 4 handicap and looks fairly treated at present.

POLMINHAC (6), a previous course and distance winner, is well handicapped and also merits consideration.
