Makes first appearance since coming last of 10 in a 2100m Vincennes Class A late-December. Is barefoot for re-entry but still not an obvious choice

Untested at this level but has ability. Pleasant 6th to KAVIARISSIME (4) in a 2850m Vincennes Gr.3 in early-March but still looks out of her league

Turned a corner winning a Gr.3 at Vincennes last month before trotting 2nd in a 2850m Class A at the same venue a fortnight ago. Takes a hike in class but still looks up to the job. First 5 chance

Trotted 2nd to KOCTEL DU DAIN (12) in Gr.2 Prix Ephrem Houel before faulting early in 2200m Gr.1 Prix de Selection at Vincennes on 2 March. Unlikely to make the same mistake twice and can play a leading role

Never dangerous 10th of 11 finishers in Gr.1 Prix Ourasi late-January. Has had time to get back in shape but has still looked a far cry from her best

Good dual-discipline colt returning to the harness code after trotting 3rd in 2200m Gr.1 Prix des Centaures at Vincennes on 2 March. Similarly configured and is not without a chance of setting the cat among the pigeons

Capable sort that briefly lost his way before finishing a pleasant 6th of 12 in 10 February race of reference. Has not however done enough to be considered a player

Sanctioned in 2100m Gr.2 Prix Ephrem Houel at Vincennes on 10 February. Can prove a handful but goes shod this time and should not be underestimated

Has not been seen out since winning Gr.1 Prix Ourasi over 2700m across town late-January. Won Gr.3 under these conditions last time here, has freshness on his side, and can apply the pressure on KOCTEL DU DAIN (12)

Superb colt that comfortably won Gr.2 Prix Ephrem Houel over 2100m at Vincennes on 10 February. Seldom disappoints when applied and should be able to wrap this up

Race Overview
An exceptional campaigner at this level, KOCTEL DU DAIN (12) made up for his Gr.1 Prix Ourasi sanction with an excellent Gr.2 Prix Ephrem Houel performance and still looks marginally better than KRACK TIME ATOUT (11) who won the Ourasi at 19/1. KEENAN DE JOUDES (5) came a cropper in the Gr.1 Prix de Selection after having run 2nd to Thomain's charge in February and looks competitive for a spot on the podium. Gr.1 winner in the other discipline, KALIF LANDIA (8) returns to the harness code with a a decent hand to play.
Selection:
12 - 11 - 5
