A 4/1 winner with Pen and Sword in the opening race on Friday kept the show on the road and so as we reach the end of the Vichy Summer Festival, I have a couple of final selections on Saturday mornings card.

Friday is another day and as the 6 day Vichy Summer festival begins to draw to a close, there are a couple of open races on Fridays card where the morning prices make some appeal.

At 11/1 in a weak maiden, he appeals as an each-way bet for a yard who had a big handicap winner here yesterday

The 18-runners in the Prix du Jockey Club looks like a difficult puzzle to solve, but I have found a pair of each-way bets on the undercard at Chantilly.

The star name on the card runs in the first race, as Richard Hannon's Haatem takes on 5 rivals in the Listed Prix de Montretout.

If Maxime Guyon can get him into a good position behind the pace, he should have too much speed for his rivals.

She looks to be the wrong price and if this develops into a sprint finish, she might just have too much speed for them.

Given the numerous winning 3-year-old debutantes that the yard has sent out so far this season, he is hard to ignore.

She looks to be the most exciting 2-year-old Filly that we have seen so far this season and I’ll stick with her until the form book proves otherwise.

The yard won a similar race at Fontainebleau last month and the booking of Maxime Guyon would appear to suggest that she is ready to run her race.

I thought it would be worth providing a list of resources that can be used to help with the French form study at this time of year.

She was a runaway winner over hurdles on her latest start at Pompadour in August and in the same mood, she should be hard to beat here

When adding in the 1.5-kilo claim that Coralie Pacaut takes off her back, she is certainly handicapped to go close from a decent draw.

"If you're not losing money, you're doing better than 97% of punters out there".

I have decided to focus on the 3-year-old maidens at Fontainebleau before settling in for an afternoon watching a quality card at Auteuil.

Todays punting blog comes from the tight left-hand turns of Le Croise-Laroche.

If it wasn’t for the absence, I would have him as favorite for the race as he achieved much more than these in the Spring.

We start a new week with a trip to the south, more specifically the turf track at Marseille-Borely.

I have really enjoyed putting a few hours into the study of this 9-race card and I believe that I have found a few angles into the races.
