1850m – Turf
J’aurais Du |
Battled on well to win over 1300m on the Deauville all-weather track last December, his final start of a busy two-year-old career. However he has generally disappointed in four starts this year, finishing sixth each time. Up in distance. |
Soberano |
Well placed to win two 1600m handicaps on Chantilly’s all-weather surface this year. Last of six in a Longchamp conditions race on his latest start but not disgraced and chances in this easier company. |
Galaxie Dete |
Has won her only start, and, though getting weight from her six rivals, she did come with a good surge to land that 2000m maiden around left hand bends at a minor track. The low prizemoney of that race suggests it was not a strong event. |
Cartes |
His one win came in a claimer over 1600m at Chantilly in 2018. After two good placed efforts this year he was favourite for a 2100m handicap at Saint-Cloud this month. Never involved late on and may have found that distance too far. |
Kiss The Devil |
Made a respectable career start finishing third of seven in a good-ground 1700m maiden at a minor French track last month. |
Ex Nihilo Nihilfit |
Yet to win in four starts but has been second the last twice, only beaten a short-neck in a 12-runner maiden at a minor track last month. That was a well-contested event and a little improvement would give her a chance here. |
Manx |
Has some solid placed form in Germany without managing a win so far. However he did compete in a 1700m G3 at Krefeld last November, never able to launch a serious challenge from midfield but not disgraced either. Possibilities. |
Just Proud |
Skipped clear of 16 rivals – seeming to thrive on the muddy conditions – in a handicap at Saint-Cloud last November. However he hasn’t shown much in two 2019 starts and, on his first start since being gelded, was 14th of 14 at Chantilly. |
Wishcape |
Has won one of his four starts and in the money on the other three occasions. His win came at a minor French track earlier in the year when he and the second finished clear of their rivals over 2000m. Has chances in this open-looking event. |
