Won 4 on the trot before finishing 4th of 7 behind FALAISE DANCE (2) over 2120m in Milan on New Year’s Day. Shoes back on this time however and others preferred
Angelo La Rocca
F

Produced a pair of good runs before being sanctioned over 2120m in Milan 10 days ago. Has never raced beyond 2020m but goes barefoot for the occasion and can get a look-in
Scuderia Trotto Italia Sas

Makes first appearance since finishing last of 10 in a Gr.3 over course and distance early-November and will not be troubling the judge
J Bethouart
F

5th of 6 when being prepared for this over 2100m at Orebro on 12 December. Is confirmed at a superior level and will be expected to contest the finish
Stall Nikkanen Oy
F

Has taken her game up a notch since starting to race barefoot, most recently 3rd of 7, a place behind FALAISE DANCE (2), over 2120m in Milan on New Year’s Day. Has demonstrated decent versatility but still no more than a minor place prospect
Ecurie Mary & Roby

1h2h2h8-h0
11th of 12 finishers in a 2100m Class E here 3 weeks ago. Reunited with Eric Raffin and although unlikely to get her nose in front, can still figure prominently
Ecurie Landing
F
4 yrs
Pulled-up in a 2100m event in Naples a fortnight ago. Races first-time barefoot but still not a priority
Mme Assunta D'alessandro
F

Won at Le Capannelle early-December before finishing 2nd of 8 over a mile in Florence 3 weeks later. Takes on a tougher lot here and is unlikely to shake things up
Mme Manuela Monelli
F

5hDhD-hDhD
Sanctioned in last 4, latterly a 2100m Class D here on 14 January, and others easier to trust
Ecurie Augustin-normand
F

Dh2hDh1-hD
Won over short course a month ago but never at her ease when sanctioned in a 2100m Class D here mid-month. Gets a 2nd shot at the main track and her driver will be eager to set the record straight. Chance
Ecurie Christian Bigeon
F

5th of 8 finishers over 1660m at Aversa a fortnight ago. Races barefoot for first time but appears to be out of her depth
Scuderia Se Fin
F

1h6h1h3h7h5
Courageous 5th of 14 in a Class D over track and trip on Christmas Eve. Hind shoes off for first time and will be expected to show another side
Ecurie Elevage Du Roy
F
4 yrs
Faithful servant that made it 2 in a row when victorious over a mile at San Siro 3 weeks ago. Untried over 2700m but with a leading driver at the helm is unlikely to disappoint
Scuderia Sant' Eusebio Snc
F
4 yrs
Quality element facing something of a stiff test here but has shown significant promise and must be taken seriously
Boko Stables Holland
F
4 yrs
Quality element making French debut after securing the hat-trick over 1600m in Florence on 17 December. Takes to 2700m for first time but is clearly a filly for the future and given the stable's form, looks a serious proposition

Race Overview
FLAVIA BROS (15) makes her French debut after pulling off the hat-trick at home in Italy and if she takes to the new conditions, should be good enough to win this. She is going to come under pressure from the good Scandinavian GOSA GOSING (4) who returns to racing barefoot after prepping at home, and the complicated L'ILE D'HAUFOR (10) who will be dangerous if David Thomain keeps her focused. Gabi Gelormini's services have been booked for FREISA ROC (13) who can be assured a competitive drive.
Selection:
15 - 4 - 10
