Last but one in a 2600m harness Class F here mid-month. Unseen under the saddle since July 2022 but has solid references and, just front shoes off this time, can get straight back in the game

Returns to the monte code after coming 10th of 11 in a 2825m Lignieres harness Class F 2 weeks ago. Has previously won under these conditions and starting in front will only work in his favour

Race Overview
A good second on turf in a harness contest last time out, HOLD UP PECE (11) is back under the saddle and is expected to give a good account of himself. INOUIE DOMPIERRE (10) is not the most dependable but she has the ability to win a race of this nature if applied. JOYAU DE SOYORA (7)'s last run at the venue at the end of March makes him look a live threat. IGLESIA (5) is another one to monitor closely back in a ridden race.
Selection:
11 - 10 - 7
