Horse Racing Trader’s Tips: Chantilly – Monday 18th March

4 – Anodor (A Lemaitre/F Head)

Anodor is on a mission to get back to his best after only scraping a third in his three outings last season. A seventh in the French Guineas preceded treatment for a back problem but he produced some of his old magic to win a conditions race at Paris-Longchamp.

5 – Impulsif (V Cheminaud/A Fabre)

After coming up short in the G2 Prix Daniel Wildenstein last term, Impulsif retreated to a lower grade when he returned in March. He has since been outpaced by Silver Quartz in a Chantilly conditions race, with Mickael Barzalona opting to ride Nature’s Colours instead.

6 – Nature’s Colours (M Barzalona/A Fabre)

With three wins from four outings, Nature’s Colours has enjoyed an impressive start to his career. He’s so far been kept away from the big tracks and his fitness will likely be better than most after sweeping down the outside to win a Listed race at Deauville in March.

7 – Stunning Spirit (T Bachelot/F Rossi)

Despite being a two-time Listed winner, Stunning Spirit may struggle at this level. He often comes up short against a genuine Group performer, notably against Skalleti at Deauville last year.

8 – Lucky Team (A Roussel/J Boisnard)

Lucky Team shocked the racing world with a 40/1 win in the 2018 All-Weather Mile Championships at Lingfield. But he should struggle at this grade as the oldest horse in the field, with ordinary race conditions often proving too much for him.

9 – Plumatic (C Soumillon/F-H Graffard)

After previously being trained by Andre Fabre, Plumatic makes his debut for Graffard here. He’s been reinvented as a genuine miler and has impressed, winning a G3 in 2018 and claiming a 33/1 success in a Saint-Cloud G2 last May. He was only seen twice in 2019 but he should fare better than some of the unproven up-and-comers.
