Excellent in first 2 of the year before being sanctioned, following interference, in a 2700m Vincennes Class B on 1 March, but will put on a good show if Julien Dubois can keep her out of trouble

Drops in category after coming an unthreatening 7th of 10 in a 2100m Vincennes Class A early last month but races shod this time and others preferred

Good class of trotter but sanctioned in last 2, latterly a week ago in a 2850m Vincennes Class B. Shod differently this time and can win this if Nicolas Bazire keeps her trotting

Got straight down to business on re-entry 12 days ago when winning a 2850m Mauquenchy Class D. In better company this time, has 25m less to travel though, and must be afforded respect

6th of 16 in a Class D over course and distance on 7 March but would have finished in the frame had he not lost his action. Not a priority but can still pick up some prizemoney

Last of 12 in a 2450m Caen Class B on re-entry earlier in the month. Is still being conditioned and will pose no danger

Raced better in a 2850m Vincennes Class D on 19 February than his 6th place would suggest. Has a good entry on the front row and Franck Nivard will be loathe to pass up an opportunity

Quality trotter making his first appearance since finishing 10th of 12 in a 2850m Vincennes Class D late-October. Shoes on and best to hold off

Solid 2nd in a 2150m Enghien Class D 3 weeks ago but shoes back on and will have other priorities

Here for reasons of conditioning after winning a 2700m Vincennes monte Class D on 18 February and can be passed over

In the frame in both this year, most recently 3rd of 17 in a 2800 Pontchateau Class D 3 weeks ago. On the back line here but can still make her presence felt

Off the boil for some time, most recently finishing 10th, behind HIGOR DAIRPET (5), in a similar event here earlier in the month. Shod to preference this time, with Eric Raffin reining, and will have his supporters

Made a respectable comeback when 7th of 16 in a Class A over course and distance on 13 March. Races barefoot this time and looks capable of challenging for the win

Makes first appearance since coming last of 10 in a 2175m Vincennes Class C on 6 January. Shoes on and not a threat

11th of 13 in a 2700m Vincennes Class C on 2 March. Has been out of sorts for some time and appears to have little to offer

Quality element that showed improvement when 6th of 16 in a 2850m Vincennes Class D on 11 February. Is unlikely to rock the boat but can still get a look-in
B Vallette

Unable to confirm his Cagnes success when 6th of 15 in a 2850m Vincennes Class B on 1 February. Takes a dip in category though, has references under these conditions, and can give JAMAICA D'AURCY (3) a run for her money

Returns to the harness code after faulting in a 2875m Enghien monte Class C 3 weeks ago and prospects appear slim

Race Overview
A mare of considerable ability, JAMAICA D'AURCY (3) has been sanctioned in her last two but goes unshod behind for the first time and, from the front row can win this. HEDIC GEMA (17) is 25m worse off but his form is not in question and, in this category, looks competitive for the spoils. Barefoot this time, IGREC DE CELLAND (13) has a race under his belt following the break and even though incurring the handicap, should still prove a decent place prospect. Versatile, in-form, and well-placed in front, IDEAL DANCER (4) must considered a serious proposition.

3 - 17 - 13
