4th in a 2900m Challans harness Class G on 25 February. Has never finished a monte race unscathed and is not about to buck the trend

Unraced since faulting in a Class F over course and distance last September and can be confidently passed over

3rd of 10 in a 2825m Class F at Le Croise-Laroche 3 weeks ago. Has started to come good this term and, while an outsider, should still not be entirely ruled out

Not once out of the frame in this branch of the business. 2nd in a 2625m Cherbourg Class F on 3 March but appears to be biting off more than he can chew this time

Unrecognisable since changing disciplines, most recently trotting 3rd in a 2450m Caen Class F on 11 March. Switches to racing barefoot and, although not a priority, will still be worth monitoring

Pleased on re-entry when runner-up to KYOTO GEMA (9) in a 2700m Graignes Class F a fortnight ago. Will have progressed for the run and deserves to be taken seriously. Minor place prospect

Has taken well to his new vocation, latterly 3rd of 9 in a 2400m Chateaubriant Class E on 5 February. Races first time barefoot…

Can prove a handful but pleased when 2nd in a 2875m Meslay-du-Maine Class E on 19 March. Has previously won left-handed and, with Mathieu Mottier onboard, will be afforded every chance

Imposed smartly 2 weeks ago in a 2700m Graignes Class F. Goes barefoot again and can pull off the double

Got off the mark at Cordemais before trotting 4th to KARMA JIEL (8) in a 2875m Meslay-du-Maine Class E on 19 March. Form is not in doubt and should put on a another good showing

Has merit but not easy to handle, most recently sanctioned in a 2875m Meslay-du-Maine Class E 11 days ago, when clearly going well. Others easier to back though

Flattering 4th of 5 in a 2450m Caen Class E 9 days ago, following a long layoff. Goes barefoot again and looks the principal danger to KYOTO GEMA (9)

Opened her monte account in good order 2 weeks ago, winning a 2725m Lisieux Class F. In marginally better company but sports a new configuration and is unlikely to be far off the mark

Debuts under the saddle after coming 5th in a 2850m Vincennes harness Class E mid-February and will have limited chances

Race Overview
KYOTO GEMA (9) won like a good thing at Graignes when first time barefoot and, somewhat behind in earnings, can make this his own. KEV DE JAFA (12) will have come on for his much-needed freshener and racing barefoot again will only enhance his prospects. KARMA JIEL (8) has done nothing but improve lately and his recent Meslay performance bodes well for his chances. KELFLORA BELLA (10) is plainly on the way up and will be expected to finish in the mix.
Selection:
9 - 12 - 8
