The Novice Tipster

   Ground is officially Very Soft 1:15 Qatar Prix Marcel Boussac - Criterium des Pouliches - RACLETTE 6/4 - is my main bet of the 2 days at Longchamp. Im not afraid to say this filly could be super special. Obviously she has to step up on her last win, but the ground and distance isnt an issue. Agartha is also a horse i have followed, she wont mind the distance or going but Racette looks special, the only concern with Racletter is she was only out 2 weeks ago.  1:50 Qatar Prix Jean-Luc Lagardere - i managed to get this down to 3 runners, Ancient Rome, Angel Bleu & Accakaba - all will love the going and the distance is fine for them. But for me ACCAKABA 11/2 just edges it here. She just beat Fleur D'iris in the Prix Du Calvados against fillies, and Fleur D'iris has since gone on the win a Group 3. Accakaba does take on the boys here, but with her allowance i think she could maintain her unbeaten record. Angel Bleu will give her the most to think about, after winn...

 My views on Chantilly and the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe 1:10 Soustraction 12/1 Polydreams form against Laurens is very solid and makes her a worthy favourite for this and is the choice of Maxime Guyon, which does point to her being the main hope, however the soft conditions, I am not sure how well that will suit, by Oasis Dream I think she would prefer firmer conditions. Magical has form on the softer surface, she beat Happily the first time in a Group 2 and then Happily reversed the form In the Moyglare. As with Polydreams, she would probably prefer firmer conditions, but has shown that she can go well in the mud.   But I am going for SOUSTRACTION who is a big price, for a horse who won a Group 3 on this 2 nd run, the time was actually very good and it was over C&D (Wild Illusion is back in 3 rd ). She won on soft that day, and is by Lope De Vega so the soft conditions will be prefect for her. I think she can cause an upset here. 1:45 Happily ...
