Chantilly Horse Racing Tips

Despite a wide draw, MELUSINE DU HOULEY (11) could be the answer to this competitive affair. She has been second on her last three starts and can get off the mark on handicap bow. LIKE LINDY (3) could be the chief threat, she has been consistent of late and ran well in a Listed event last month when fourth. WARAMINI (10) has been contesting competitive races since scoring over 1400m last July at Compiegne and is an each-way option. THE TINKER (9) ran well in a Class 2 at Deauville in mid-January and can not be ignored. TORNADO ALLEY (7) scored over 1600m at this track last month and can be effective down in trip.

HARISSA (10) is well-bred, she is out of a mare that won a Group 3 race and was placed in a Group 2 event. She can will be well forward and can score on debut. ADONIDE (1) has some good aspects to her profile and should know what is required from a shrewd training operation. DESTIVELLE (4) is another to consider by the leading sire Siyouni. NEBULAE (2) has the assistance of Cristain Demuro and can be involved at the business end.

AFJAN (3) has solid form as a two-year-old and has the scope to do well this season. He scored in the Prix D'Arenberg (Group 3) over 1000m at Parislongchamp on August 31st and was not disgraced in a Group 1 on his last start in October. He can score despite strong opposition, the likely main threat could be AURORIAN CLOUDS (2), who won on his second start last year and has more to come, and is a track and trip winner. JEUDIXX (13) is another to keep onside, as is BIRDCALL (11), who is making her French debut.

STORM TRAVELLER (1) has a taking pedigree and holds an entry in the Prix du Jockey-Club (Gr.1). He will be well tuned and can score from another who looks the part on breeding, VEGAMIX (12), who is out of a classy mare who won a Listed race and is the mount of Maxime Guyon and should be ready to go. FORGOTTEN SON (10) is half-brother to a Listed winner and can be involved, as can WATCH THE KING (6), who is out of Watch Me (Group 1 dual winner) of the Coronation Stakes and Prix Rothschild.

MODERN SPIRIT (1) has consistent form lines to his name. The son of Stunning Spirit runs well on this course, and he may be the one to side with. POKROV (8) took the lead too early last time out. Cristian Demuro rides from a good draw of two and he is a threat. MISS DAVIER (3) performs her best in this class and with luck in running, she can finish on the podium. AMBRA ANTICA (2) is much better than her last start suggests. Tony Piccone knows her well and she cannot be discounted.

FRANKLY GOOD CEN (9) was far from disgraced in the Group 1 Cygames Grand Prix de Paris. His only victory came on this surface and with luck from his wide draw, he can win. WE'LL DEFEND (13) was victorious on debut on this track, a year ago. Christophe Soumillon retains the ride, and she could be anything. SAUCEPOT (10) made the natural improvement when winning her last start and she has plenty of scope. MON FLAMANT (4) is formidable on this surface and merits healthy respect under Maxime Guyon.

MY QUEEN (3) has good consistent form lines to her credit. The booking of Cristian Demuro is a big plus, and she may be the one to beat. NARGIZ (8) won her first outing this year at Pornichet. She is in a good space and should be involved. A NOS AMOURS (9) was supplemented for this race and seems well placed in this line-up. She can go close with luck from the wide barrier position. CLAVIS AUREA (6) is an inconsistent individual but on best form shown, she should have a say in the outcome.

ZAURA (2) is lightly raced with good form lines to her name. She has her first run in a handicap and can notch up her first-career victory. SAILOR'S RETURN (9) was not disgraced in a competitive field recently. She looks to be a progressive type and is drawn in pole position. REVE SUR LE NIL (4) has shown good improvement in each of her races to date. With luck in running, she should be competitive. REMENBER CHOPE (8) has experience and is a consistent type. She cannot be discounted.
