There are many dangers to him though and both (5) CABIDOCHOP and (6) ZARIYANO can be given winning chances so are worth considering.

7. PARFAIT AVENUS - Yet to win in eleven starts to date and very unlikely to win this race

(6) FEE DU HAZARD has done ll to date and will be looking to pick up the pieces were the good thing not to arrive. (4) SILVERY SEA and (2) CHEF DE TROUPE can earn.
Selections
(1) MAGARI - (6) FEE DU HAZARD - (4) SILVERY SEA - (2) CHEF DE

15. VALENTINO ANGELI - Runner-up in a claimer last time out. More needed to win this race.
16. EL ALLUME - Modest form this year and needs major improvement to win
Summary The biggest field of the day and clearly the toughest race of the day. (6) SNOW DREAM should run well off his mark of 28. (11) ECLAIR DU NINIAN is in really good form and there is no reason to suggest he will not be very competitive in
this race. (2) GORKI PARK and (1) ICE COOL are two others that can run well ad must be respected.
Selections
(6) SNOW DREAM - (11) ECLAIR DU NINIAN - (2) GORKI PARK - (1) ICE
COOL - (8) WINGATE
Race 6 1. BANONITO - Has won twice this course and distance. Utmost respect in this race.
2. BILLY JESS - Versatile colt. In great form this year and should go close in this race
3. BIENNALE - Nice comeback win. Drop in distance is not a problem. Has a chance
4. BAMBOUZLE - Returns from a lengthy break but does have a chance if returning fit

10. BEAUTE DE LA CERE - Nice win in latest but this is a tougher task and may need to improve to win
Summary A nice race where most f the field know how to win. With a number of them returning from a break it is probably best to side with (2) BILLY JESS as the likely winner.

Selections
(2) BILLY JESS - (3) BIENNALE - (5) BORN TO PLAY - (1) BANONITO

4. DUCHESSE DE LAUNAY - Course and distance winner. Should be concerned with the finish
5. CORAELYS - Improving with experience and is clearly not out of it. Chance
6. HELLO GOODBY - Fair steeplechase form this year. Unplaced in both hurdles races he attempted
7. BALIFLOW - Fair hurdle third last time out. Has a place chance with further improvement likely
8. SAISON DES PLUIES - Battling to win a race in any discipline. Can earn minor money though.
9. VENEMASK - Modest flat debutt. Has been rested 222 days and tries hurdling now

11. BORNTOLOVEYOU - Fair fourth in latest but needs to needs to do more to win the race
12. MAGIC HILL - Unplaced in all her starts to date and ulikely to win this race
Summary (1) DEEXOS D'ARREE seemed to win with authority last time out and it will not be a surprise were he to follow up and win this race. (9) VENEMASK only had the o (2) LECHARM ne flat run on the fibresand so one has to respect him on his hurling debut.(2) LECHARM has won before and is in with a chance. (7) BALIFLOW should come on from his hurdling debut.

2. GRAND MOSS - Has done a lot better in claimers but could earn a minor stake cheque.

Horse of the day : American Boy (404)
Dark Horse : Ezpeletako (307)
Race 1 1. FAST CHARLIE - Winner of only start over this trip. Will enjoy step up in distance and can contest outcome
2. EASY GO - Highly inconsistent recently but in stronger grades. Capable at this level, must have an each-way chance
3. DOM TOMMY - Runner-up twice over similar trips recently. Is neither reliable nor unable, so must be considered
4. YA HADE YE DELIL - Does not boast any form to speak of and, as such, cannot be recommended
5. BLACK BIRD RUNS - Has scope and could improve trying trip. Should also have more of a say at this level
6. ALCAUCIN - Much improved performance last time and looks likely to run another big race
7. SPARBROOK - Moderate performer of late and is unlikely to be suited by the step up in trip
8. CRYSTAL BEACH ROAD - Disappointed last time but is better than that effort suggests. Place chance
Summary (6) ALCAUCIN has made sufficient progress recently that suggests he'll be winning soon. Today could be his day to do so again. (1) FAST CHARLIE was not disgraced last time after winning over this trip, and he should pose a threat. (5) BLACK BIRD RUNS should be more competitive at this level if enjoying the trip, while inconsistent (2) EASY GO could also feature if at best.
Selections
(6) ALCAUCIN - (1) FAST CHARLIE - (5) BLACK BIRD RUNS - (2) EASY GO
Race 2 1. REINE GIANNA - Did not seem to enjoy the all-weather surface last time. Warrants respect on solid penultimate effort
2. DOBBY FIRST - Average form to date and may be of moderate ability. Needs to show big improvement
3. EQUINOXE - Did show fair ability in 2 starts in stronger races on the all-weather. Warrants respect on turf debut
4. RAPHAEL - Well tried over various distances, yet to show much and is unlikely to win this event
5. MAELIO BASC - Shown only a moderate degree of ability in each of her 3 starts. Needs to show big improvement
6. INTER MOOL - Has struggled in weaker races and, as such, may be out of his depth in this contest
7. LANGLAUF - Has demonstrated enough ability since relocating to France to suggest that she'll be competitive here
8. PHANTARA - Should build on an encouraging return to action and can contest the outcome
9. FUN CHIEF - Needs to show more than in moderate 3 starts to stand any chance of having a say
10. VEZANNE - Made good improvement last time and should be competitive if continuing her progress
11. EMOTIONAL BEAUTY - Well beaten in both outings. Has scope to improve but will need to do so to have any chance
12. MEDHA - Fair improvement made in her 2nd start. Could improve further to find the frame
13. TEXAS BRIGHT MOON - Has not shown much ability in either start. Would need to make vast improvement to get involved
14. ANNEMIE D'OROUX - Well beaten in both outings. Has scope to improve but will need to do so to have any chance
15. BATLADY - Has shown moderate ability in each of her 3 outings. Needs to do more to have any chance
Summary Not a race to get excited about. On form, only a few runners boast winning chances, headed by (7) LANGLAUF who had shown enough in the UK before making two promising comeback efforts since relocating to France. She looks
ready to win. (8) PHANTARA should have more to come too after an encouraging return to action, while (1) REINE GIANNA could pose more of a threat reverting to the to the turf.
Race 3 1. FREUD - UK visitor who reverts to the turf for the first time since August 2014. Respect
2. BLUE PANIS - Consistent individual, distance suited and has been supplemented. Looks the right one here
3. ZAMUJA - Winner of his last start on the turf and is better than his recent all-weather outings suggests. Consider
4. WARRIGAL - Consistent performer in lower grades and may be out of his depth in this line-up
5. IRONSTONE - Solid recent form in similar contests and last start winner over 1600m. Warrants serious consideration
6. IOKASTOS - Has performed creditably in stronger contests. Warrants utmost respect in this grade
7. EZPELETAKO - Frustratingly inconsistent but is capable of landing the spoils in a race of this nature
8. FORESTER - Without a win for over a year and has been modest at lower levels since
9. KEY TO FUN - No form to speak of and cannot be fancied to mount a serious challenge
10. RENOUNCE - Last start winner in a considerably weaker contest. Has more to do against these rivals
11. NAASEH - Runner-up over the course and distance last time but has more to do in this grade
12. RAMSSISS - Shown versatility on both surfaces recently. Can find the frame again if not troubled by drop in trip
13. STORMY STAR - Moderate recent form in weaker company and is unlikely to pose a threat here
14. STAR ON THE ROCKS - Has shown signs of returning to form in 2 starts this this year. Shouldn't be far off
15. ZAFIRAH - Poor form in lesser races this year. Cannot be fancied to pose any threat
Summary Competitive contest but in a race for which 3 have been supplemented, ultra-consistent veteran gelding (2) BLUE PANIS can reward connections for their faith shown in him. (14) STAR ON THE ROCKS has returned from a break in good
order, with 2 solid starts. He should be competitive too, along with (6) IOKASTOS who returned to form last time. (7) EZPELETAKO and (5) IRONSTONE are others to consider for minor money.
Selections
(2) BLUE PANIS - (14) STAR ON THE ROCKS - (6) IOKASTOS - (5)
IRONSTONE
Race 4 1. MAPLY - Has not been able to reproduce form of late last year in 2016. Would have a chance on best form
2. THINDY - Erratic individual who is capable of making his presence felt on best form. Is unreliable, though
3. BERNINA RANGE - Best form is over shorter and isn't sure to enjoy this trip. Unlikely winner, watch for now
4. AMERICAN BOY - Holding form this year in similar contests over various trips. A formidable winning chance
5. BRAZILIAN CHAP - Progressive sort who has found form this year. Expect another courageous performance
6. DULCIADARGENT - Last start winner of a lesser contest over 1600m. Has more to beat on this occasion
7. GREY SENSATION - Back to best reverting to the turf recently. Chance despite penalty for last start victory
8. BIG LETTERS - Chance if reproducing penultimate start when victorious over 1600m. More to beat here, though
9. RAMY - Poor showing this year in both starts. Needs to show some sings of improvement
10. TANZANITI - Moderate recent form on the all-weather does not inspire confidence. Struggles could continue
11. CHICAGO BERE - May be better suited to races on the all-weather. Unlikely to mount a challenge
12. DEVIL'S EYE - Has been poor of late and cannot be fancied on current form. Unlikely winner
13. PLUMETOT - Showed glimpses of returning to form last time so must have a chance, despite concerns over the trip
14. REALLY FROST - Not a stranger to running well on the turf but does seem to run his best races on the all-weather
15. CHUCK SPORT - Ultra-consistent at this level and should be competitive once more. Definite contender
Summary Another tricky affair as little separates the form runners. They make most appeal, but none more so than (4) AMERICAN BOY who has come good this year and maintained a consistent level in this grade. He looks ready to win, though the
same can be said of (5) BRAZILIAN CHAP who is in red-hot form himself, albeit over 1600m. Last start winner (7) GREY SENSATION and ultra-consistent (15) CHUCK SPORT are others with solid credentials.
Selections
(4) AMERICAN BOY - (5) BRAZILIAN CHAP - (7) GREY SENSATION - (15)
CHUCK SPORT
Race 5 1. APALIS - Is better than recent efforts suggests. Should return to form and can be involved
2. PLUME D'OUTARDE - Disappointed last time in a stronger race and could pose more of a threat here
3. LA GIOVANELLA - Not disgraced last time over shorter, having scored back-to-back wins earlier. Will enjoy this trip
4. HOLLYSTER - Has demonstrated his capabilities on the turf recently. Not the most reliable but cannot be ignored
5. CHANEL BERE - Form this year has been moderate and she cannot be fancied as result of that
6. DHOW - Ultra-consistent over similar trips and in this grade. Leading contender
7. DAUPHINE DE FRANCE - Surprising winner of her last start having shown moderate prior form. Chance despite penalty
8. ALBERTOCHOP - Showed signs of a form return recently when reverting to the turf. Has lively claims
9. XEDRA - Battling filly and long-time maiden. Looks exposed and has her limitations
10. WHAT A STORY - Erratic individual, capable on his day but, unfortunately, unreliable. Does not inspire confidence
11. SENNEVILLE - Has battled in 2016 and has no form to speak of this year. Can be overlooked
12. CADEROUSSE - Fair effort last time, though that was in a weaker contest. He'll have more to do here
13. YOLO - Limited ability shown to date. Returned from a rest last time but needs to show improvement
14. FREAKY GIRL - Long-time maiden and well-exposed filly. Clearly limited in ability and is best ignored
Summary A case can be made for a few of these runners so an wouldn't come as a surprise. Ultra-consistent (6) DHOW makes most appeal on form and can again be expected to run well, while (1) APALIS is better than a disappointing last run suggests and could make her presence felt. (7) DAUPHINE DE FRANCE has claims but will have a tough task repeating her last start victory with a penalty, but
(8) ALBERTOCHOP could have a say if building on an improved last run. (2) PLUME D'OUTARDE and (3) LA GIOVANELLA are others to consider in an open contest.
Selections
(6) DHOW - (1) APALIS - (7) DAUPHINE DE FRANCE - (8) ALBERTOCHOP
Race 6 1. FOUR SOX - Has disappointed in both outings this year but is better than that. Can bounce back dropping in grade
2. SHAKKO - Returned to something of his best form last time and would be very competitive if repeating that run
3. RUSSIAN WAY - Back to best in 2 starts this year and looks ready to run a big race. Will make his presence felt
4. ALL DYNAMITE - Better recent form but against considerably weaker. Needs to do more to feature
5. SPELLBOUND - Showed encouraging signs of a form return last time. Would have a chance if confirming that improvement
6. MARAKASHI - Veteran gelding who is rarely beaten far. Expected to given another honest showing
7. CATATUMBO - Has made 2 promising starts this year since returning from a break. More to do but can make presence felt
8. RIVER PRINCE - Let the side down last time but is certainly better than that effort suggests. Do not discount
9. TIMELORD - Moderate, inconsistent form this year. Is unreliable but certainly capable of having a say
10. LIEU MARCHAND - Disappointed last time after a string of consistent runs, albeit in weaker races. Each-way chance
11. PEDREGALEJO - Not disgraced in lesser contest last time but needs more to be competitive in this line-up
12. BAILLONETTE - Unreliable and form this year does not inspire any confidence. Would have a chance on best form
13. GOOD TORI - Returns from a long layoff and may be in need of the outing. Must show marked improvement to have a say
14. VARDARIS - Much improved recent run but after a string of moderate efforts. Chance if confirming last run
15. SUMIREGUSA - Shown little signs of improvement in 2 starts on the all-weather this year. Confidently overlooked
Summary In this competitive staying contest (2) SHAKKO rates the one to beat. He'd go close if reproducing his last start, though consistent (3) RUSSIAN WAY looks ready to run a big race and should pose a threat. (1) FOUR SOX could have
more of a say in this grade and may shown signs of a return to form. (8) RIVER PRINCE, (7) CATATUMBO, (5) SPELLBOUND and (6) MARAKASHI have claims too.
Selections
(2) SHAKKO - (3) RUSSIAN WAY - (1) FOUR SOX - (8) RIVER PRINCE
Race 7 1. LOENRIQUE - Decent comeback last month from a lengthy layoff and he should have more to come
2. LANDO SPORT - Current form inspires little confidence and, as such, he cannot be recommended
3. DR THIBAULT - Has run with promise in each of his comeback runs this year. One for the shortlist
4. LEAFLET - Moderate efforts recently have been in stronger company. Could have a say in this line-up
5. AGENT DE CHANGE - Was not in good form before a rest and did not show any signs of improvement on his return
6. TONIA BERE - Good form in weaker grades before a disappointing last start at this level. Looks out of her depth
7. GELSEY - Seem to have lost her zest for racing and makes little appeal on current form. Overlook
8. LION DES FLANDRES - At 10 years of age, he is getting a bit long in the tooth. Has run well over the course and distance
9. SINGAPORE SPUR - Runner-up last time but against considerably weaker and would need to raise his game to feature
10. NICE ARTY - Does not make much appeal on turf form and has serious concerns
11. CATTELAN - Veteran nine-year-old gelding who always gives of his best. That may not be enough here, though
12. PRINCESSE POLIA - Would have a chance if at very best, but her recent form suggests she may have lost her zest for racing
13. DESTINATION - After 3 moderate starts this year, he does not inspire any confidence. Can be overlooked
14. CRAZY ONE - Cannot be fancied on form. Has been well beaten in a string of recent outings
15. SOLEIL DE VATI - Fair return to the flat last time after an unsuccessful spell over hurdles. Place chance at best
Summary Not the greatest bunch line-up in the concluding event but this looks a good opportunity for (3) DR THIBAULT to return to winning ways after 2 promising comeback efforts. (1) LOENRIQUE should improve on his comeback too and can
get involved, while (4) LEAFLET could have a say in this line-up having not been disgraced in stronger contests recently.

5. DON MIMI - Won a Class E handicap by two and a half lengths from Desobeissante at Angers last time out
6. YEATSON - Twelfth of seventeen to Maui in a Class E handicap at Chantilly earlier this month
7. FIORA - Won a Class G handicap at Strasbourg in March but two poor efforts since then
8. NAABAHA - Third of fifteen to Polgar in a Class E handicap at Nancy last time out
9. MISS SPIRIT - Fourth of fourteen to Distain in a Class G race at Wissembourg last time out
10. GOOD DIAMOND - Last of seventeen to Maui in a Class E handicap at Chantilly earlier this month
11. ZANSKAR - Struggling so far this year but he is sliding down the handicap
12. SHAKILA GREEN - Fourth of fourteen to Muhlya in a Class G handicap at Cagnes last time out
13. ADRIEL - Sixth of nine to Major Hollow in a Class G claimer at Strasbourg last time out
14. BACCHUS DES AIGLES - Has not run since March when fifth in a Class G claimer at Compiegne
Summary (5) DON MIMI gets a harsh penalty for his Class E handicap victory at Angers last month but the manner of his success there suggested that there is more to come and he is the selection here. (1) FAWLEY has to give weight all around but may be up to the task. (2) KASSIM and (8) NAABAHA cannot be ruled out also.
Race 4 1. GREEN MEDI - Sixth of fourteen to Trully Me in a Class G handicap at Lyon Parilly last time out
2. SHADES OF LIGHT - Fourteenth of fifteen to Polgar in a Class E handicap at Nancy last time out
3. LIVING DESERT - Eight of seventeen to Turf Express in a Class E handicap at Chantilly last month
4. AIRLEY - Last of fifteen to Polgar in a Class E handicap at Nancy last time out
5. WADARY - Unplaced in four of five starts this year and needs to improve on recent form
6. DORLION - Twelfth of seventeen to Kaskarau in a Class G handicap at Chantilly last month
7. CELLALANDO - Second of seven to Laderia in a Class G claimer at Lyon Parilly last time out
8. TOXEAS - Ten wins from one hundred and twenty nine runs but needs to improve on recent form
9. NERODOR - Ninth of ten to Freestyler in a Class G handicap at Lyon Parilly last time out
10. SUHALI - One win from thirty nine starts and needs to improve on recent form
11. HERBOUILLY - One win from thirty nine starts and needs to improve on recent form
Summary In a weak looking contest slight preference is for (3) LIVING DESERT who ran reasonably well in a Class E handicap at Chantilly last time out and is now on a reasonable handicap mark. (1) GREEN MEDI is well capable at this level and cannot be ruled out. (8) TOXEAS and (7) CELLALANDO can both make the frame.
Selections
(3) LIVING DESERT - (1) GREEN MEDI - (8) TOXEAS - (7) CELLALANDO
Race 5 1. BROAD PEAK - Off the mark last time on thirteenth attempt so maybe more to come
2. TIEP DE L'EST - One win from six and placed four times so has every chance in this
3. GOUDEVIVRE - Three wins from fourteen including last time out and that augurs well
4. TETE BRULEE - Just the one place from four and will look to do better
5. CHAPARDEUR - Placed in three of his four attempts and must have every chance now
6. PEARL SIENNE - Placed twice in six attempts but will need to do much better to take this
7. CHIMENE D'ARTHEL - Placed in four of six and was runner up last time out
Summary This can go the way of the Macaire/Lestrade combination in the shape of (5) CHAPARDEUR who is still looking for his first win from four starts but has shown enough that he is capable of securing the victory. The principal danger looks to be (2) TIEP DE L'EST who is sure to play a very big part while (7) CHIMENE D'ARTHEL and (1) BROAD PEAK can come next.
Race 6 1. CIMA NOA - Placed in two of her four runs and will be looking to get involved
2. PAPINO - One win from nine and placed four times from nine and has a chance
3. LA FOUGUEUSE - One win from ten and placed four times but last effort was poor
4. HOLIDAY HENRY - Winner in the UK and placed in three of four over here
5. BLUE DAFNE - Placed in five of six runs and needs a little more now
6. PRINCE MELCHIOR - One win from ten and was runner up last time out
7. MISS MARY - Just one win from a dozen runs but very consistent and the one to beat
8. SAINTE BOWL - Placed in four of sixteen but a lot more needed here
Summary If truth be told then this is a very moderate affair and a very strong selection is put forward in the shape of (7) MISS MARY who carries the highest rating of these. She is consistent which is a big help also in these events. (4) HOLIDAY HENRY and (3) LA FOUGUEUSE can chase her home followed by (2) PAPINO.
Selections
(7) MISS MARY - (4) HOLIDAY HENRY - (3) LA FOUGUEUSE - (2) PAPINO
Race 7 1. VENT DES DUNES - Placed in two of seven on the flat and needs to improve on second hurdles start
2. ARLEQUIN D'ALLIER - Off the mark here last time on seventh attempt and can do even better
3. STARDREAM - Two wins from twenty three but must do a lot better than last few efforts
4. DIMANCHE A PARIS - Dual winner from fifty two but needs more than what has been evident lately
5. TOUT EN CARDOUN - Five wins from forty two efforts and has been chasing lately
6. RODION RASKOLNIKOV - Placed in nine of nineteen so will have to do better now
Summary A more than hopeful vote goes to (2) ARLEQUIN D'ALLIER who should have enough in the locker to take this small field event. He got off the mark here on his last start and confidence should be high as a result so really ought to follow up now. (6) RODION RASKOLNIKOV and (3) STARDREAM look next best followed by (5) TOUT EN CARDOUN.
Race 8 1. VICOMTE DU SEUIL - Has been an eight time winner but not in much form recently
2. OFF BY HEART - Has won eight times and made a decent return in April so every chance
3. ASTAISIEN - Off the mark on penultimate start and ran all right on follow up bid
4. PARIS CLERMONT - Six time winner who has had problems but better last timeout and more to come
5. ULYS DE VERNAY - One win from thirteen but failed to complete last time but could go well
Summary Not too many turning up here for the finale and it looks a pretty straightforward task for (2) OFF BY HEART from the Bryant/Macaire partnership. The gelding has most definitely got the best form on offer and it will come as something of a surprise if he is beaten. (4) PARIS CLERMONT would look to be best of the rest followed by (1) VICOMTE DU SEUIL.
Selections
(2) OFF BY HEART - (4) PARIS CLERMONT - (1) VICOMTE DU SEUIL - (5)

Summary
(6) BERLIOZ DE GINAI could be the one to side with in the opener. He had to give second best to (9) BARRY DE COURTISON in a thrilling race here on May 20 but is fancied to reverse the placings this time. (8) BRUYERE DU RIB should strip fitter after her recent prep run at Graignes and could split the pair.
Selections
(6) BERLIOZ DE GINAI - (8) BRUYERE DU RIB - (9) BARRY DE COURTISON
- (10) BOYONNAX DE L'INAM

8. CALINE BRETONNE - Won debut and subsequently placed four times. Second run back from nine-week break

10. CYGA DE VANDEL - Added to Cherbourg success in September when winning at Angers on May 20

13. CALL ME QUICK - Won at Rambouillet in April. Third of 18 at the same track latest
14. CABALERA - Victorious at Amiens and Reims before breaking stride last twice
Summary (10) CYGA DE VANDEL is taken to add this to her impressive victory at Angers on May 20. The list of dangers is headed by the consistent (11) CENTURI who won at Caen in April. (4) CAPRIA could play a part in the finish if managing to keep stride after two recent failures - and the same applies to (14) CABALERA.

9. UGO DE NIEUL - Course winner three times. Took a G3 at Cagnes-sur-Mer in February and runner-up twice since. Seventh of 11 at Lyon-Parilly latest
Summary (8) VELOCE DU BANNEY loves it here and should be ready to do himself justice after a prep run on May 14 after two months off. (5) UGO ON WOOD continues in great heart and will make the selection pull out all the stops. (9) UGO DE NIEUL has also performed well at this track many times and has frame aspirations at least.

TEATRO
Race 4 1. DOLORES MENUET - Runner-up on debut and at Laval in 14-runner event at on May 6. Disqualified next time when set for fourth place

10. DEESSE ELICIA - Successful at Cherbourg in February. Fourth on first run here on May 14
Summary The bare results since (2) DULCINEE VRIE finished second at Enghien don't tell the whole story and if all goes well she can exhibit her true ability here. The well-related (6) DAELIA DE VANDEL is on a hattrick and as such is a serious rival. Chatelaillon-La Rochelle winner (9) DUNE DE MALIKEN and (8) DIANE D'HOULBEC have place claims.
Selections

13. DUC GIBUS - Won at Rouen-Mauquenchy in April. Prone to disqualification
Summary (8) DESPERADO and (4) DREOLE VERDERIE are both unbeaten from two runs and are open to further improvement. Preference is for the former - an inmate of Jean-Michel Bazire - who caught the eye at Vichy last time. (12) DANDY DU BOURG is also on a hattrick while there could be more to come from (2) DITARASU DESJY.

14. DAX GEDE - Improved on debut to oblige at Caen beating two who reoppose here on May 21
15. DARIUS JIEL - Victorious on debut last August and back on the podium when second of 11 at Reims on April 30
Summary (14) DAX GEDE was an easy winner at Caen on May 21 beating second-placed (9) DU COURTILLE by a wide margin. The runner-up lost ground that day when making a mistake and may finish closer however the former is expected to confirm the form. (8) DUCATO VIF has shown promise in harness and with Eric Raffin on board for his ridden debut makes some appeal.

Race 7 1. UNO CASONE - Won at Villedieu-les-Poeles last July. Fourth of 16 at Chateau-Gontier last time. First run for new trainer
