Reims Horse Racing Tips

Impressive during the autumn, KONSPIRATOR GAME (1) should not be condemned for faulting on his recent comeback, will be reunited with Andrea Roussel for whom he has never failed to fire, and can bring home the bacon this time. KISS MAKER (6) has not been seen out since November but he is a tough nut to crack when barefoot and the front-line break will do his chances no disservice. Similarly unshod following a much-needed freshener, LET'S GO SAUTREUIL (2) will be competitive for a place in the frame. Handed the 3 slot after having reassured at Saumur, LOOPING BEN MAX (3) has previously won here and can again figure prominently.

Winner of his last 6 right-handed runs, JIMBO SPORT (9) imposed over 2500m here early this month and looks thoroughly capable of confirming. He should nevertheless encounter resistance from the dependable and in-form JUSTE DU GERS (10) who is clearly close to winning another. A good dual-discipline trotter, JACK SURPRISE (8) defied his odds on his Vire comeback and makes his Reims bow with a lot to contribute. Most impressive at Graignes early last month, JUNIOR ANGELE (3) will be reined by Pierre-Yves Verva this time and will not be far from the action if he takes to the Reims profile.

Although never far from losing her action, LOLA DE CHENU (6) is a useful mare at this level; she goes well right-handed, returns to racing shod, and with application could well impose. She will still come under pressure from the similarly capricious but well-positioned LAZIE PONT VAUTIER (3) who tends to go well at Reims. Handed the 5 slot, LAQUILA WOOD (5) showed form in Paris on her penultimate start and, if focused, can fill one of the steps on the podium. Barefoot as she was when imposing on her sole start here, the returning KITTEN'S JOY (1) is reunited with Franck Ouvrie who drove her that day, and must be respected.

Rather disappointing of late in the harness discipline, JOKER DE LA BRETTE (6) switches code for the first time and with Pierre-Yves Verva in the saddle can get straight down to business. KING STALLION (4) is as complicated as they get but he has form in superior company and will have a prominent part to play if he deigns to stay in stride. JERSEY ISLAND (8) has taken well to the monte code and faces a less difficult task than she did at Amiens recently. KANTHABELLA (9) is never easy to gauge and has not been seen out since July 2025, but is terrifically-engaged and will be barefoot for the occasion.

Convincing winner at Le Croise-Laroche late last month, MARIO DE LOU (5) is more competitively-shod this time and can wrap this up. Julien Raffestin will still want to be wary of a reconfigured MILORD DU LORAULT (11) who has twice finished runner-up at Mauquenchy this year, and the complicated but in-form MILLESIME GWEN (7) who has references under these conditions. ME AND YOU (12) left a good impression on his recent Amiens comeback, will have come on for the race, has been reconfigured, and the fine entry stands him in good stead.

MISSION IMPOSSIBLE (7) bounced back nicely from her Mauquenchy elimination with a fine performance at Le Croise-Laroche earlier in the month and, barefoot for the first time, may just have the edge over the ideally-engaged MAMMA PAULO (12) who reassured at Laval 2.5 weeks ago. MANHATTAN TWIST (10) returns to France after winning six in a row at home in Belgium and will have her chances. Unseen since getting off the mark in January, MAM'ZELLEPAZENAISE (11) enjoys a good entry and although unlikely to repeat can nevertheless finish close.

Solid in both return runs, JALENZA DU BOCAGE (6) was beaten only by a very good horse at Le Croise-Laroche a week ago and, given the stable's form, it would be no surprise to see her wrap this up. Alexis Bescher will still be mindful of the better-positioned JULY DU GUESNE (2) who is plainly close to her race. JUMBO DES PRES (9) faces his first objective for his new trainer and will be competitively-shod for the occasion. JASMIN DANOVER (5) has pulled a better number and is confirmed at the venue.

Although eliminated on debut at Le Croise-Laroche last month, NORD CALITY (3) nonetheless showed his form and Pierre-Yves Verva will be determined to set the record straight. NIGHT CLUB (10) though ran 2nd in Lyon first time out and represents a solid threat. NUSTANG JOLY (8) will have come on for his Amiens re-entry run, even though having lost his action, and the employment of pads may be just what the doctor ordered. NEW LOOK DANICA (1) caught the eye in qualification late last month and is not to be overlooked on his debut.
