Spinning Memories is Anita Chambers' best bet at Clairefontaine today and she has a tip for every race.
Spinning Memories can secure a quickfire double by lifting the Prix du Palais-Royal at Clairefontaine.
Pascal Bary had his charge ready to go on the opening day of the French resumption, when she bagged Listed honours at ParisLongchamp over seven furlongs.
She picked up in style in the straight that day and while the official distance was just under two lengths, she looked decent value for the margin.
The five-year-old had previously shown some smart form last term too, with a six-furlong Group Three win the highlight, while she finished fourth at Group One level and also filled the same place in this event.
Five furlongs in the Prix de l’Abbaye was much too sharp, but her most recent win suggests this seven furlongs could now be her optimum.
Tonnencourt is the pick in the Prix du Pont au Change as he makes his seasonal bow.
The four-year-old was last seen at Chantilly in October when he ran a creditable fourth in a Listed heat over nine furlongs on his first outing for Edouard Montfort.
Previously in the care of Jean-Claude Rouget, he had placed at Listed level and won a conditions event at La Teste de Buch, so clearly he has at least some ability.
Dropping back to seven furlongs here is an interesting move.
Zealandia finished fourth on his only juvenile start and is worth following in the Prix du Pont du Roi.
The Sea The Moon colt was beaten five and a quarter lengths at Saint-Cloud on that occasion, but given the winner Mkfancy has gone on to strike Group One gold, it was probably a fair effort.
Vintern has some Group One entries next month, so if she were to be tackling that kind of company, she should be winning the Prix du Marche Aux Fleurs.
This Frankel filly is trained by Andre Fabre and was suitably well fancied to take gold on her racecourse bow at Deauville in July.
Vintern just was not quick enough at the finish, eventually taking fourth over six furlongs, so the extra bit of distance must be a positive.
Ultramarine can make it third-time lucky in the Prix de l’Allee des Cygnes.
She could finish only third when sent off favourite on her second outing last year, but it looked as though she might have victory in her grasp at one point.
Ultramarine came with what initially appeared to be a winning challenge down the middle of the track, but she could not quite see it through.
She looked a bit inexperienced at points too, so better is expected now.
