Prix Des Cotes D'armor - Attele
F
4 yrs
1hDh1h1-h4
Won her first three completed outings (from four starts - disqualified in the other) and finished a pleasing 4th on her reappearance over 2700m at Vincennes on 4 February. Ought to play a leading role
Ecurie Ld-M Abrivard
F
4 yrs
8h4-h2h3h2
Has improved in her three starts racing unshod, finishing 2nd twice - including her latest outing at Cagnes over 2925m on 10 February. Closely matched with KATANA QUICK (11) on recent form, so warrants respect
Ecurie Del Team
F
4 yrs
1h1h2hDh0h0
Showed considerable early promise (2 wins, a 2nd and a 3rd in 4 starts from 1 March to 25 April) but hasn't been the same in her 3 outings after a 6-month absence. Well-beaten 12th over 2700m at Vincennes when last seen on 17 November
Ch Germain
F
4 yrs
9-h2h5h7h7
A 27-start maiden and not likely to break her duck here, having finished 7th in consecutive 2100m outings at Vincennes last month. Others preferred
Bvba Lieven De Groote
F
4 yrs
6h5-h6hDh5
Hard-knocking type with sound references - seldom far off the mark and usually acquits herself well when avoiding disqualification. Finished a reassuring 5th over 2100m at Vincennes on 28 February
Ecurie La Petteviniere
F
4 yrs
0h6h0h0-h0
Won over 2150m on this course last May but has lost her way since - soundly beaten in her last 3 outings. Races barefoot for the first time after finishing 10th over 2700m at Vincennes on 8 January
E Dufour
F
4 yrs
3hDh1-h3h7
An honest/consistent performer with sound references, including in her two starts in this configuration (barefoot). Didn't go unnoticed when finishing 7th over 2850m at Vincennes on 1 February - dark horse
Ecurie Louis Baudron
F
4 yrs
0-h8h3h2h9
Inconsistent but boasts sound references and has already proven her competitive at this level, especially without her irons. Disappointing (9th) over 2700m at Vincennes on 19 February but is capable of better
Ecurie Tony Le Beller
F
4 yrs
5hDh3h2-h1
Consistent filly with serious means, which she confirmed with a last-start victory at Vincennes over 2700m on 1 March when racing without her irons for the first time. Confirmation expected
Th Barassin
F
4 yrs
8h9-h5h2h9
Honest filly whose experience will stand her in good stead, though has no more than a place chance. Was a disappointing 9th over 2600m at Saint-Galmier on 6 March, so is unlikely to break her duck in this race
F Gence
F
4 yrs
Dh2h5-h1h1
Proved a tricky customer last year after disqualifications in 4 of her 8 starts but has well and truly turned a corner recently, winning twice at Cagnes this year racing unshod - the latest over 2925m on 10 February
Ecurie Quick Star
F
4 yrs
8-h0hDh6h5
Capable but is as unreliable/inconsistent, although has shown signs of improvement with this shoe fitting recently, confirmed by a last-start 5th over 2700m at Cagnes on 28 February. Will tempt lovers of outsiders
M A Bouvet
F
4 yrs
2h6h2-h1h8
Progressive filly with sufficient means to be competitive in a race of this nature, despite her disappointing latest (8th) outing at Vincennes over 2175m on 13 February. Capable of a lot better, keep safe
Ecurie Mip
F
4 yrs
1h4h2h2h2h0
Showed considerable early promise last year, finishing 2nd in 3 consecutive starts (including one over this track and trip) before finishing 10th over 2700m in a higher grade at Vincennes on 3 October - one to note
P Hachin
F
4 yrs
1h0h7h5mDhD
Capable but is unreliable/inconsistent and has been disqualified in both appearances (unshod) this year. Was barefoot when sanctioned at Vincennes over 2700m on 19 February - again a question of her wisdom
Etienne Dubois
F
4 yrs
3h6h3h2-h5
Consistent performer with sound form references, albeit with success. Has placed in 7 of her 15 starts and finished 2nd over this course and distance course recently (12 March), so must be taken very seriously
Ecurie M Bezier
Race Overview
KAMELIA DE JEAN (9) improved significantly to win at Vincennes recently when racing unshod for the first time and need only confirm that form/progress to follow up in this opening event with the booking of Yoann Lebourgeois a boost to her chances. Highly regarded KLOE DU ROUEZO (1) didn't go unnoticed when finishing 4th at Vincennes last month but is probably better than that display suggests, so is capable of fighting for victory if building on that effort from an ideal starting berth from the inside of the front row. Undefeated in two outings at Cagnes this year/winter, KATANA QUICK (11) has serious winning claims too. KAPUSHA MIP (13) and KITTY RANAISE (16) are other candidates for a spot on the podium.
Selection:
9 - 1 - 11
