1400m – Turf
Aimef |
She has not run in many handicaps but a decent effort at Chantilly in May off a higher mark than this suggests she might be worth a look at a big price. |
Ariadne |
Has a win to her name at Le Croise-Laroche. That was over 1100m and the way she has run in four starts since then suggests this longer trip is worth a try. |
Ashen |
Gained experience with three starts in the spring and then a decent third on her handicap debut at Vichy last month. Open to some improvement. |
Crystal Lady |
Her best runs have been over 1700m and 1600m, suggesting this could be a bit sharp for her. |
Henouville |
A close fifth on her most recent start in a conditions race at Compiegne suggested her winning turn might not be far away. That was over 1800m and there is no guarantee this shorter distance will prove to be in her favour. |
Ma Cherie Amour |
She failed to win last season of seven starts in Britain. A change of country does not seem to have improved matters radically. |
Nagano |
Was given valuable experience with three runs at small tracks before making her handicap debut at Chantilly. She was very keen that day over 1600m and while she showed some promise in sixth, this drop back in trip and a stronger pace might both help her cause. |
Nemba |
Ran well to be second at Longchamp last time but that was over 1000m and the step back up in trip does not look ideal. |
Otambura |
Has already got plenty of experience and won two starts ago at Lyon Parilly over 1350m. Only sixth last time over 1600m and this shorter distance might be an advantage. |
Quelle Charm |
Ran respectably when sixth of 12 at Compiegne over this distance last time out but difficult to see where extra improvement might come from. |
Rideofthevalkyrie |
Yet to win in four starts and, having started her career over 2000m, she needs to improve for this much shorter trip. |
Seaclusion |
She has been placed in three of her four starts since being sent to France. While she is yet to win in 12 races she can be relied on to run up to form. |
Turtle Chope |
She has been in better form than many of these, winning two small races at Chatillon and Le Mans in the spring. Her third placed effort at Chantilly last time out was also encouraging. One for the shortlist. |
Voler De Nuit |
Winless from 11 starts but close third in Compiegne handicap over this trip last time out suggests she is not devoid of ability. |
