Horse Racing Tips - 4th Meeting - April 17

Dear Horse lovers, 3 race meetings have elapsed now and this week will be the fourth one. There were some surprise winners as well s horses that have confirmed there form they showed last year. After 3 meetings, it's Gaetan Faucon who is in the lead concerning the Jockey's Championship while the reigning Champ, Shane Dye has still not scored but looks capable of doing so this week with the string of horses he has. Fok Stable has for once taken a very good start. But we have a long way to go and we have to wait for December to know the winners. Let's have a look at the possible winners for this week, starting with the analysis of the main race, which is the Raoul Halbwachs Cup, a sprint on 1400m.

Modern Monet; 60Kg; Teeha; Draw: 6

Seems to be a changed horse and running in a field he should normally outclass on his South African form. Capitaine has been prefered to Alitalia and Strike Again is not included as well. Trained for this race particularly. For what he has shown for his last outings, should be able to break the ice this Saturday. Will follow Cape Rainbow before firing in the home straight.

King's Shilling; 59.5Kg; Spitteri; Draw: 7

New horse who will be testing the Champs De Mars for the first time. Seems to be the best buy for his stable. A good Sprinter/Miler, prefer to see him in action for the first run and follow him for his next outings. Note that he has had some health problems before coming to Mauritius.

Cape Rainbow; 59Kg; Sooful; Draw: 4

A pure srpinter which came to Mauritius with good reputation. Was confronted to some health problems before getting back to winning ways last year on his favorite trip; the 1000m, though he has done well on 1365m. The only front runner of this race. For me he is here as pace-maker for Jet Force and a preparation as well for his next outing.

Wings of Simon; 58Kg; Naiko; Draw: 8

Very disapointing run last time out though having a dream run, following the pacemakers but could not accelerate. Needed the run? Has drawn wide this time and not on his best trip which is according to me 1600m. Has won coming from the back and following his form, he can be included in the quartet.

Camden's Choice; 57.5Kg; Lhermytte; Draw: 1

Has won on wet surfaces only and during summer. Will be running without blinkers this time, which means he will come from behind. An outsider's chance.

Capitaine; 57Kg; Segeon; Draw: 2

Surprise winner for some on his last outing, with changed tactics - coming from behind. Always does well when he runs fresh (remember his first outing) but will he confirm his last win? Better to watch out for him on his third outing as it seems he suffers from second run syndrome. But never know.

Jet Force; 55.5Kg; Faucon; Draw: 3

A very good horse which did well on his last outing after long lay off. Is the main danger for Modern Monet. Will do better on longer trips but 1400m suits him for he is only on his second run after a long lay off due to injury. If he does not suffer from his second run syndrome, he will be in the final 3.

Elizondo; 49.5Kg; Beekhary; Draw 5

Came to Mauritius with a very good reputation but never up to it! Will certainly act as pacemaker for Camden's Choice. But with only 49.5Kg and his class + on the only trip he has won, he can be a surpise winner.
