7th to HELIOS SI (7) in Amiens race of reference. Hind shoes off this time but still no more than a minor place prospect

Hard to fault since returning to racing barefoot, latterly 3rd of 16 in a 2825m Lignieres Class E 11 days ago. Form is sure and and even with front pads fitted, can still give this a good go

h7h5h0-h9h2h3
Has looked a different horse over recent weeks, beating a number of these when 3rd in a 2400m Amiens Class D 6 days ago, and will have more of a claim on the trophy this time around

Produced some decent efforts in Paris before being sanctioned, when preparing for this, in the Amiens race of reference. Hind shoes off this time but others still easier to back
Ecurie Decoopman

h9h3-h4h3h3hD
Faithful for the most part but lost his action in a 2400m Amiens Class D 6 days ago. Is plainly in form and will not be far off the mark if he keeps his action together

Unexceptional trotter that finished 13th of 15 on his comeback in a 2850m Vincennes Class D a fortnight back and is not about to change his ways

Useful veteran that would have finished closer than 8th in a 2850m Class A here last month had he got off to a better start. Raffin reining this time and can set the record straight

Never threatening when sanctioned in the race of reference. Pleased on lone Laval start, reverts to a proven formula, but appears to be biting off more than she can chew

Race Overview
Reunited with Benjamin Rochard after finishing 4th in a competitive Vincennes Class D late last month, HORATIUS D'ELA (5) looks every part the horse to beat. It is unlikely to be all plane sailing though given how well HELIOS SI (7) has been acquitting himself lately. The complicated but talented HISTOIRE MODERNE (15) is barefoot for her return from a short break and will have her chances. FEELING BOY (13) is reunited with Eric Raffin and, at this level, will be no easy touch.
Selection:
5 - 7 - 15
