The 4/1 available for Darius Cen to win the Listed Prix Jacques de Bremond at Vichy (3:03) looks very fair. 🇫🇷 His form with Seagulls Eleven is arguably stronger than either Clavus or Dino have achieved so far this year despite their better form figures 👍

Centauri was claimed for €22k by the very shrewd Delcher Sanchez team last time and he’s been found a great chance to win half of that price tag back at the first time of asking today 🇫🇷 Anything better than Evens in the 5:05 at Dax will be fair 🤞

Fanzi Chop was an impressive all the way winner at Clairefontaine in first time cheekpieces last time and with another good draw and Demuro booked, 9/2 seemed very fair for him to repeat it in the 6:33 at Compiegne today 🇫🇷

A good old fashioned betting edge….find a race in the French Provinces where the trader has been replaced by an algorithm and get 7/4 about a horse that was never bigger than 1.6 on the PMU and who returns 1/2 SP 🇫🇷 Can’t get much on for these races but nice when they win all the same 👍

Adam Mills @geegeebanker.bsky.social · 15/07/2026
Very good Class 1 for the 3YOs at La Teste this afternoon (5:05) 🇫🇷 Couldn’t really work out why Saint Arnoult wasn’t close to odds on and if you can find the 7/4 that seems very fair given the way he won at Lyon and his trainers record at this track 👍

Found my angle to back Blue Bolt in the Falmouth later; 4YOs in the Falmouth outperform the market at 1.24 A/E, +£9.13 to £1 at SP. Rises to 1.49 A/E, +£17.88 when LTO Win, 12-3-6 with 4YOs who won at Ascot last time. Blue Bolt recorded better Av, Top and Late Speed than Precise at Ascot.
