7th of 12 finishers in a 2725m Lisieux Class D a month back and, even with front pads fitted, already looks out of her depth

8th of 9 to INO DU LUPIN (5) in a 2700m Class B here late last month. Competitively-shod but still cannot be considered a player

Sanctioned in late-March race of reference, when going well. Appreciates the main track profile and looks main danger to INO DU LUPIN (5)

Has not raced since coming 2nd to INO DU LUPIN (5) in a 2700m Class B here on 1 March. Won 3 times for Eric Raffin over the winter, will be fresh, and can again figure prominently

Extraordinary trotter with an enviable strike-rate, latterly winning a 2700m Class B with authority here on 23 March and is unlikely to be bested

Somewhat disappointing 6th to INO DU LUPIN (5) in 23 March race of reference. Has already won a Gr.3 this year but needs to pull her socks up

Got back in the game when runner-up to INO DU LUPIN (5) in a 2700m Class B here on 23 March. Unlikely to repeat but will still be competitive for a first-5 cheque

11th of 15 when prepping for this in a 2700m Gr.2 here a fortnight ago. Has nothing to prove at this level and is thoroughly capable of making the frame

4th of 16 in a Class A over 2850m at Laval, when shod, on 13 March. Has fine references under these conditions and, with shoes off can challenge for a place in the frame

Race Overview
Remarkably-consistent and as versatile as they come, INO DU LUPIN (5) is unbeaten in 3 starts under these conditions and will again take all the beating. Opposition will take the form of INEXESS BLEU (3) who had gas in the tank at the time of his sanction that day, and INEXESS BLEU (3) who trotted a valiant 2nd to the favourite early last month. Hard to knock when barefoot and focused, HE AND ME (10) has solid credentials over 2850m on the main track and with shoes off, can get straight back in the game.
