Black-Type Analysis: Ginalyah Seeks Group-Race Breakthrough in Toulouse Feature

[Wandering Eyes]

Tuesday, Toulouse, France, post time: 15:50, PRIX FILLE DE L'AIR-G3, €73,200, 3yo/up, f/m, 10 1/2fT

Field: Salmarak (Fr) (Zarak {Fr}), L'Hotellerie (Ire) (Almanzor {Fr}), Weltbeste (Ger) (Soldier Hollow {GB}), Bas Bleu (Ire) (Masar {Ire}), Euboa (Fr) (Soldier Hollow {GB}), Calamandra (Fr) (New Bay {GB}), Ginalyah (Ire) (Chachnak {Fr}), Darkava (Fr) (Zarak {Fr}).

TDN Analysis: This went the way of Via Sistina in 2022 and Jerome Andreu trainee Ginalyah might just hold the key in this year's edition. She ran fifth in the G1 Prix Vermeille on Arc Trials weekend and gained momentum to finish second in last month's G3 Prix de Flore. Gestut Rottgen's ultra-consistent Weltbeste is the only stakes winner on display, but she finds one too good more often than not. Bas Bleu, Euboa and Calamandra all have prior stakes placings, with the latter best placed of that trio coming back off a third in the G3 Prix Belle de Nuit two weeks ago. [Sean Cronin].

Tuesday, Toulouse, France, post time: 14:33, CRITERIUM DU LANGUEDOC – PRIX BERNARD DE MARMIESSE-Listed, €54,900, 2yo, 8fT

Field: Go Man (Fr) (Goken {Fr}), Mefie Toi (Fr) (De Treville {GB}), Canalejas (Fr) (Armor {GB}), Oratorical (GB) (Lope Y Fernandez {Ire}), Ladja (Fr) (Golden Horde {Ire}), Chill Y Flama (GB) (Lope Y Fernandez {Ire}), Madame Ly (Fr) (City Light {Fr}).

TDN Analysis: Roberto Montenegro trainee Canalejas endured trouble-in-running when a promising third in September's G3 Prix des Chenes and may have the edge on last month's Listed Prix Delahante runner-up Ladja. Jamie Rocke's Oratorical is the lone contender from across the English Channel and heads postward returning off an impressive six-length tally at Nottingham three weeks ago. Madame Ly's four-race winning streak was halted when she finished fourth in last month's Listed Prix Isonomy, while Mefie Toi has run unplaced in four straight black-type outings. [Sean Cronin].
