Unlucky to lose her action on re-entry in a 2650m Bordeaux Class C 3 weeks ago. Has shown significant potential and, with application, can assure herself a place on the podium

Useful filly that finished runner-up to LADY (4) in a 2700m Class C here on 19 February. Will have come on for the run and even though shod, still looks a player

Won on debut last October before confirming in a 2150m Enghien Class C 4 weeks later. Unseen since but has hind pads fitted for re-entry and is not to be underestimated. Claim

Won 3 of 4 starts to date, most recently with ease in a 2700m Class C here on 19 February. Just hinds pads fitted this time and once again looks the horse to beat

Moves back to the harness discipline after coming a good 2nd in a 2200m Vincennes monte Class B on 1 March. Here for reasons of conditioning and has nothing to offer

Improved considerably when 4th in a 2700m Vincennes Class A on 25 February. Not the most dependable of horses but, with form maintained, can again break into the first 5

Could have picked up a 5th-place cheque in a 2700m monte Gr.2 here last week had she not faulted. Has other priorities however and can be passed over

6th of 8 in a 2700m monte Gr.2 here a week ago. Won over course and distance mid-January but is really only racing under harness for a change of scenery

Switches back to the harness code after finishing 3rd in a 2200m monte Gr.3 mid-February. Has references in the discipline but still not an obvious choice

7th of 9 in a 2700m Class A here on 25 January. Has been biting off more than she can chew but benefits from a good entry, receives a Benjamin Rochard drive for the occasion, and will justifiably generate interest

Race Overview
Highly-impressive to date, LADY (4) opened her Vincennes account superbly last month and, just hind pads fitted for this shorter trip, can confirm. That being said, LUSH LIFE (3) is unbeaten in 2 and even though unraced since October, she sports hind pads and looks the main threat. Solid here over the winter, LONDON (1) was not the most fortunate on her return to competition but with her trainer reining this time, will be expected to set the record straight. LOCCA DU BELLAY (2) made a very good comeback behind the favourite last month and, pads fitted or not, she is still competitive for a place in the frame.
