Showed marked improvement when 3rd of 17 in a 2825m Vire Class F 10 days ago and a repeat of that performance would see her finish close

4th to JIM JULRY (6) a month back before faulting in a 2625m Paray-le-Monial Class F at the start of the month. Has won 3 times here but is pitted against better this time and chances limited

Good 2nd of 9 finishers in a 2625m Paray-le-Monial Class F on 1 March. Finds himself in superior company this time and has delivered just once in 6 starts here

2nd in a 2825m Class F at Le Croise-Laroche at the start of the month. Is less at home racing clockwise, and stays shod for the occasion, but is still good enough to pick up a cheque

Failed to confirm his Cagnes success when 5th of 13 in a 2300m Marseille-Borely Class E on 22 March but moves to a track whose conditions should suit him well and from the front line, looks competitive for a place in the frame

Got back in the game when 2nd over course and distance a month back. Front pads fitted, which has served him well in the past, and should not be overlooked

Unraced since faulting in a 2850m Lyon-Parilly Class A late-November. Has ample ability, has previously won here, but is going to need the run

3rd over track and trip a month back before coming 6th of 10 in a 2300m Marseille-Borely Class D a fortnight ago. Sports a revised configuration but still represents no more than a minor place prospect

Put out of the race by another horse, when clearly full of running, in a 2700m Vincennes Class D on 29 March. Raffin maintains faith and can impose if he keeps her out of trouble

5th of 9, at 93/1, in a 2700m Vincennes Class D 12 days ago. Won here earlier in the year and even from the back line, looks a major player

Race Overview
JUSTICIA GLAM (9) can count herself very unlucky not to have come close at Vincennes last time but Eric Raffin is unlikely to allow the same thing to happen twice and, fitted with just hind pads this time, she can set the record straight. That said, JUPILLE DE GODREL (1) has started to come good again and boasts a fine record racing both clockwise and barefoot. JASMIN DE LARRE (5) was not at his sharpest last time out but is well-engaged on the first row and can put things right. JUST D'ERONVILLE (10) incurs the penalty but is in decent shape and, from the back row, can still challenge for a place on the podium.
