Complicated but has bags of ability, most recently sanctioned in a 2175m Vincennes Class D a fortnight ago. Races first time barefoot though and will be dangerous if Yoann Lebourgeois keeps her trotting

Returns to the harness code after coming 2nd in a 2200m Vincennes monte Class D early last month. Has never disappointed here but has different priorities and others preferred

Won over course and distance, at 61/1, before faulting early in a 2750m Class D at La Capelle on 10 May. Shoes back on and, while unlikely to cause an upset, should still acquit herself honourably. First-5 chance

4th of 13 finishers, at 34/1, in a 2875m Argentan Class E mid-April. Front shoes off this time, is well-positioned in front, and is not about to go home empty-handed

Good 2nd of 13 in a 2450m Caen Class E on 5 May. Is proven here (despite being disqualified), enjoys a decent spot in front, and can bring home the bacon

Won at La Capelle before coming 4th of 12 in a 2700m Vincennes Class D on 26 April. Has a good engine and a realistic chance of making the frame

Decent 5th of 12 in a 2175m Vincennes Class D 12 days ago. Won under these conditions in November, and racing barefoot this time must be worth keeping an eye on

Last of 8 finishers, on comeback, in a 2750m Class D at La Capelle on 10 May. Front shoes off for the first time but still not easy to like
Ecurie Turbo

8th of 10 finishers in a Class E over course and distance last week and already looks out of her depth

Sanctioned in last 2, most recently a 2000m Class E at Lyon-Parilly on 3 May. Not ideally-drawn and appears to have too much to do

Race Overview
KAI LA SHA (5) has returned to competition in excellent condition, is confirmed here, and from the 5-spot can win this. Franck Ouvrie will still expect to meet resistance from KATARINA DE LOU (1) who, barefoot for the first time, can put to bed her recent sanctions. KANEM (6) has turned a corner this season and returns to Le Croise-Laroche with a good hand to play. Better off on his inside, KILIMANDJARO (4) has been progressing and, with front shoes off this time, must be taken seriously.
Selection:
5 - 1 - 6
