Produced career-best performance 9 days ago, winning a 2875m Enghien Class D with some authority, on first start for 3 months, and with form maintained, will have her chances

Encouraged at Enghien late-September before finishing last but one in a 2100m Class E here a week ago. Has never produced the goods over 2850m on the main track and is unlikely to change his ways

Placed at Le Mans before running 5th of 10, a place behind HERAKLION DESBOIS (4), in a 2875m Meslay-du-Maine Class D earlier this month, and is unlikely to influence the outcome

5th of 13, a place behind HAS DE CAMBES (13), in a 2200m Caen Class D a month ago. Makes just 2nd appearance at the venue but consistently gives his best and can pick up a small slice of the pie

4th of 13 in a 2200m Caen Class D a month ago. Has been a case of all-or-nothing at Vincennes though and a minor place chance at best

Race Overview
As adept in one code as the other, and winner over 2850m on his only Vincennes appearance, FIGHTER SIMONI (11) is back under harness after freshening up at Cabourg and with Alexandre Abrivard reining, will not be easily bested. That said, the well-engaged HERA WIND (14) won 3 on the trot before coming a cropper in Lyon, and will be no pushover. Reassuring last time out, and already a winner under these conditions, G.K.JUSTUS (9) will be fully fit and, with application, can play an active role. Useful at home in his native Finland, MASK OFF (FIN) (10) races first-time barefoot, for a new trainer, and will be expected to give a competitive account.
