A consistent 27-start maiden whose reassuring 2nd over 2850m on this course last time (29 March) was encouraging. Not taken lightly
Gilles Jeziorski

Versatile performer confirmed under these conditions and in this shoe fitting with sound references in this category. Finished 14th in a 2100m harness race on his reappearance (6 April) but should fare better back under the saddle

3mD-m2m6m9
Inconsistent but undeniably capable performer with the means to win a race of this nature, especially after a (shod) much-needed preparation outing over track and trip on 2 April in which he finished 9th. Better in this shoe fitting
Aldo Tripodi

0hDhD-hDh0
Sparingly raced gelding who showed promise under the saddle in his early days but has lost his way on the evidence of his 3 unplaced comeback appearances this year - 11th in a 2825m harness race at Chartres on 31 March
M Agostini
G
6 yrs
6m3-m4m9m2
Consistent performer with sound references/form credentials in this category, including a last-start 2nd over 2850m at Laval on 29 February. Lacks references in this shoe fitting, though

Winner of her last four completed races (six starts) but remains delicate and is seldom far from a fault. Disqualified in her most recent t appearance over 2100m at this venue on 6 April

Race Overview
Undefeated in three outings this year, JIROBELLO (5) sets a good standard here and is hard to oppose. JASON DU CONROY (7) could pose the biggest threat with his front shoes removed for this engagement, although enigmatic JOLIGIRL BEAUFOUR (11), for whom this will be a question of wisdom/application, is also capable of challenging for victory. JUST BIRD (6) steps up in class but arrives in good form and physical condition, so ought to remain competitive.
Selection:
5 - 7 - 11
