Interesting Italian raider making his first French start after winning 2 straight, over 1650m, at home in Milan, most recently 3 weeks ago. Is unlikely to shake things up but is worth monitoring for the future

Unraced since finishing last of 7, behind LEARN TO FLY (11), in Gr.2 Prix Paul Viel over track and trip late-January. Has had time to freshen up and, with application, can put things right

Showed considerable improvement when 2nd of 9 in a 2150m Enghien Class D 3 weeks ago, but in this class will have his work cut out

Takes a step up in category on his first start since coming 2nd in a 2100m Class C here on 19 December. May be race-rusty but has sufficient class to get in on the action on first start back

Put away after trotting last of 6, behind LARGO DE CASTELLE (8), in Gr.3 Prix Timoko over 2200m here late-November and will need the outing

Makes his first appearance since coming 4th of 6 finishers in Gr.3 Prix Timoko over 2200m here late-November. Shoes on and will not have any influence on the outcome

Surprisingly beaten into 2nd by LEONARDO ROC (10) in a Class A over course and distance on 11 February. Is clearly in with a shout but David Thomain must first keep his colt trotting

Lost his action in a 2100m Gr.3 here early last month. Ability is not in doubt though and with Benjamin Rochard reining, is unlikely to be far from the action

7th, a place ahead of LEARN TO FLY (11), in Gr.1 Prix Comte Pierre de Montesson last month, after enduring a tough trip. Just hind pads fitted this time and, with no trouble in running, can make this his own

Progressive colt that won a Class A over track and trip, in fine fashion, on 11 February. Has earned the right to compete at this level and looks a serious first-3 prospect

8th of 10 in Gr.1 Prix Comte Pierre de Montesson over course and distance on 18 February, having faulted at the start. Seldom gets his nose in front but is an honest colt that should not be overlooked

Race Overview
A number of promising 3 year-old's here with a small preference going to LUCKY JACKSON (9) who was particularly unlucky in the Gr.1 Prix Comte Pierre de Montesson last month. He switches to racing with just hind pads fitted and may well have the edge over FRANK GIO (2) who is out to make up for his uneasy run in the Gr.2 Prix Paul Viel. Winner under similar conditions last time out, LEONARDO ROC (10) must receive due respect, as should LUCIFERMORNINGSTAR (7) who was by no means humbled by him when they crossed swords in early-February.
Selection:
9 - 2 - 10
