Improving, unexposed trotter whose last-start 2nd over 2550m on this course in this shoe-fitting on 9 January was a career-best performance. Winning chance

Delicate and seldom far from a fault - disqualified in 4 of his last 5 starts, the latest at Nantes (17 January) - but usually acquits himself competitively when applied/remaining wise. Question of wisdom

Race Overview
Progressive LOVE (1) sets a good standard and won't need to improve much on his last start (2nd) to land the spoils here. LUDO DES LUCAS (3) ended a run of disqualifications with a reassuring runners-up finish at Agen last time and needs only to repeat that performance to play a leading role. LUCIE DES BAUX (7), barefoot on all four feet for the first time, and LET'S GO MAB (8), who didn't go unnoticed when 6th last time at Toulouse, complete the shortlist.
Selection:
1 - 3 - 7
