Made it 2 straight sanctions when faulting in a 2700m Class C here on 18 January and is not about to spring a surprise

Has thrived at Vincennes this winter, most recently inheriting victory in a 2100m Class D here 2 weeks ago. Is clearly in shape though, has decent 2850m credentials and is unlikely to be far from the action

Generous type returning to conditions he appreciates after coming 5th of 16 in a 2700m Cagnes Class C a fortnight ago. Not a leading contender but races barefoot and should nevertheless hold his own

Good 2nd of 15 in a 2925m Cagnes Class D 3 weeks ago. Has yet to show any liking for Vincennes and others easier to trust

Serious trotter making first appearance since dominating a Class D over course and distance early-November. Shoes on and will need the race

Unable to confirm her 2100m success when 5th of 12 in a Class D over track and trip early this month. Can prove a handful but is better than latest result would suggest and must be considered a player

Last but one behind ILAYA (10) in a 2700m Class C here on 18 January, on first start since the spell. Will have come on for the run, is shod to preference with Gabi Gelormini reining, but others still easier to back

Put his December disqualification behind him when 2nd of 15 in a Class D over course and distance earlier this month. Continues over his preferred trip and is unlikely to disappoint. Place chance

Won a Class C over 2700m here prior to finishing 4th of 14 under similar conditions 12 days ago. Has decent references under these conditions and will be expected to contest the finish once more

Here for a change of scenery after finishing 9th of 13 in a 2700m monte Gr.3 here late last month and can be passed over

Left a good impression 12 days ago when 3rd of 10 in a Gr.3 over course and distance. Has 25m further to travel this time though and more a minor place prospect on this occasion

Oddly lacklustre 5th of 15 in a 2925m Cagnes Class B last week. Has never disappointed when barefoot over 2850m here and with JMB back in the bike, can set the record straight

Good class of mare that finished an honourable 8th of 15 in 2850m Gr.2 Prix de Belgique here 2.5 weeks ago. Is back in her category and has the wherewithal to wrap this up

Going good-guns when sanctioned 100m out in 2700m Gr.3 Prix du Forez here on 11 January. Cannot be considered a priority but with form maintained will be one to watch

Race Overview
A quality mare with excellent references under these conditions, HARLEY GEMA (15) moves back to a more reasonable level following a valiant but unproductive Prix de Belgique performance, and even though on the back line, she still looks the one to beat. Hard to fault when barefoot over 2850m here, HEDE DARLING (13) will be no shrinking violet. Both ILAYA (10) and GAMIN DE MAHEY (9) find themselves ideally-engaged on the front row and, given their respective form, each looks competitive for a place on the podium.

15 - 13 - 10
