Runner-up on debut in a course-and-distance race early last month so deserves another chance back at this level after finishing 11th in a stronger Class C event over 2100m at Vincennes on 20 December. Keep safe

Caught the eye when finishing 2nd on debut over 2300m at Argentan on 4 January and would've improved appreciably with that experience under her belt

Race Overview
MIRISS DE GUEZ (7) caught the eye on debut at Cordemais and needn't improve much on that promising introduction to open her account. MADINA MESLOISE (8), runner-up in a course-and-distance race last month, leads the opposition ahead of MIRABELLE DE LARRE (6) who has shown enough in 2 starts over further to play a leading role, if as effective over this distance. MELODY DELADOU (9) is another likely improver after an encouraging introduction.
Selection:
7 - 8 - 6
