Salon-De-Provence - Fri 25 Sep 2026
Although returning from a short break and having to concede weight to all his rivals, HUGO CABRET (1) is coming off two solid victories and could prove hard to beat. DERNI CHOP (2) is still a maiden but produced a strong finish to run a close second in a handicap and is proven over the distance. BI BOISY (5) was a convincing winner over this trip last time and should have a say in the finish. SKALI (3) has been supplemented into this race and deserves respect.
BLACK ARMOR (6) made a promising debut last time, going down just 0,50 lengths and getting up late to claim second. He should be ideally suited to the extra 200m this time and should claim his first win. Third-placed was experienced WOODSTARS (1) but he might battle to reverse the form over the longer trip. Supplemented IN SPACE (2) disappointed last time but if repeating his debut fourth could be a contender. NOOR AL AYN (4) was fourth in the key race and should run well again.
While the winner of the race proved far too good, HODAYA (7) made an excellent debut to finish third, and with further progress expected she could have the edge in this field. The opposition will be led by BAILA NAK (3) and LATZIA (5) after their promising second and third places respectively at Lyon Parilly last time. MAJESTIC PEARL (4) improved markedly on her debut effort and could prove dangerous.
COTAI HERO (1) was never off the bit to score a runaway victory at Hyeres in June and despite the more than three-month break could put up a repeat performance. BEAUTIFUL MESS (5) will benefit from the drop in trip after finding his last race too far. He also comes into race this well handicapped. BIG ENERGY (2) did not show his best last time but can put the disappointment of run behind him. MOUDIR (7) has the ability to run well when fresh and could do so again.
PEARL SPIRIT (2) was in contention for victory for a long way last time and has repeatedly shown that she is competitive off this mark. MOKKA LATTE (7), who has been dropped 1lb for her latest effort, also has a good chance of playing a leading role. IDAHO JAMES (10) has an opportunity to bounce back. ATAVAMADA (6) finished seventh in each of her three handicap starts and returns to this category off a reduced mark so could be a threat.
Fourth in a Listed race last autumn, TESTERINE (3) gave her best in the first half of the year and can make a winning return. Another debutant at this level, DISSEMBLE (5) will also be aiming for a leading role. Entered at the highest claiming price, JUST FOR MEME (4) can make her presence felt in this category. LE DOC (2) knows this level particularly well, having finished no worse than fourth in his last seven starts and must be respected for that.
Runner-up on August 12th, LITERARY SONG (2) made a good impression in her first attempt over a mile and should not be inconvenienced by the step up in distance. CIAO BELLO (1) finished a close third behind our selection that day, will not receive any weight from that rival this time. OUARDA (5) made a pleasing impression in a race for unraced fillies at Longchamp and, although less experienced, is ideally treated at the weights. DO YOU SEA (4), made the running at Vichy on September 3rd, and showed improved form that day.
The only runner for Gerald Mosse at the meeting, SENTOSA (2) makes the trip from Chantilly with the firm intention of opening her account by taking out this lucky last race. GRASWANG (1) will be looking to spoil the party on his return following gelding. LEIA ORGANA (4) drops in distance but has finished in the frame four times from eight starts and has already performed well over 2,000 metres. The unraced LA COULONCHE (6) can take advantage of her favourable weight.
