Serious transalpine mare that opened her monte account at first time of asking, before faulting in a Class E over course and distance on 1 March. Has a lot of untapped potential and, with application, could pleasantly surprise

Italian mare that has taken well to her new vocation, latterly 2nd in a trouble-filled Class E over course and distance on 1 March. Unlikely to repeat but is still in with a reasonable chance of picking up a first-5 cheque

Trounced 6th of 7 behind JUSTICE D'EOLE (7) in a 2875m Enghien Class D a fortnight ago and will have nothing to offer

Excellent in last 2 under the saddle, latterly 2nd in a 2650m Saint-Galmier Class F on 11 February. Steps up in category but should still be able to hold her own

5th in a 2700m Graignes Class F on second start back 12 days ago. Will be close to full fitness by now and going first time barefoot will do nothing but enhance her prospects

Tricky but has merit. Would have won a 2850m Class C over 2850m on the main track last month had he not faulted at the wire and, if focused, can set the record straight

Has turned a corner since returning from a spell, most recently trotting 3rd in a 2875m Enghien Class D a fortnight back. Will appreciate the flatter inner course but still faces a tough test

Sanctioned when prepping for this in a 2875m Enghien harness Class D 10 days ago. Is barefoot this time, with Raffin in the irons, and should have a very good hand to play

Returned to winning ways 11 days ago when clinching a 2850m Mauquenchy Class F. Shod differently this time but still a serious proposition

Drops back in category and debuts under the saddle after an unlucky 9th of 12 in a 2100m Vincennes harness Class B on 20 February, but still looks a rank outsider
Mme Renata Destri

Makes first appearance over the inner track after faulting in a 2450m Caen Class D on 4 March. Seldom disappoints when applied though and looks an interesting outside chance

5th of 11 finishers in a 2875m Enghien harness Class D 9 days ago. Makes first start in the monte code with rather limited ambition however

Race Overview
A handful she may be but JUBLA VIKING (6) has been showing her form since the turn of the year and debuts on the inner track with every chance of making it a winning one. JADE DE CASTELLE (8) is reunited with Eric Raffin after her harness freshener and, shoes off this time, will be no pushover. The tricky but talented ISBA DU VIVIER (9), who sports front pads this time, made her way into the winners' circle recently and can pick up another cheque if she sees fit to stay in stride. JASMINE DE FORGAN (5) has nothing to prove under these conditions and, if fully-fit, can figure prominently.
Selection:
6 - 8 - 9
