Showed form, despite being sanctioned, in a 2700m Vincennes Class D on 5 April. Breaks in front, with David Bekaert reining, and must not be underestimated

Quality element but only 7th of 12 in a 2025m Saint-Galmier Class D mid-March. Has been given time to recover and, from the 5-spot can play a prominent role

Pleasant 5th of 12 in a 3000m Marseille-Borely Class D on 17 April. Nicely drawn but nevertheless faces a tough task

Last of 10 when preparing for this in a 2525m Cavaillon Class D last month, but goes barefoot this time, is ideally placed on the first row, and has never disappointed here. Chance

Won at Cagnes earlier in the year but lacklustre in 5 since, most recently 8th of 9 in a 2650m Carpentras Class A mid-month, and is unlikely to be rocking any boat any time soon

Has not been seen out since finishing 5th of 6 in a 2600m Class D here mid-December. Is barefoot for comeback though, thrives at Parilly, and must be respected
Joris Filograsso

Finished well to come clear 3rd of 7 in a 3000m Marseille-Borely monte Class E a month back. Has nothing to prove at this level and will be expected to apply the pressure on HYPER FAST (9)

Seldom gets her nose in front but encouraged when 5th of 10 in a 2525m Cavaillon Class D on 9 April. Well-positioned in front and can play an active part in the final stages

Did not enjoy the best of runs, coming 10th of 12 in a 2100m Vincennes Class D last month. Not the most dependable but has bags of ability and is expected to show another side for a new handler. Claim

7th of 9 in a Class E over course and distance last month. Is considerably better in the amateur class however and can be passed over

Not without merit but will need to improve on his 6th of 12 in a 2650m Class F at L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue 3 weeks ago

Struggling of late and was 8th last time out in Class D at Lyon-La Soie over 2700m on 25 February. Needs major improvement to win this race

Reassuring 2nd of 13 in a 3000m Marseille-Borely Class E on 22 march but races shod this time and will have other priorities

2nd of 13 in a 2650m Class E at L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue last month. In better company this time and the draw will not help his cause

Race Overview
GAMIN NORMAND (1) makes an ambitious trip for this race, with David Bakaert engaged, and may well bounce back to form by recapturing the winning thread. Versatile HOOLIGAN JIM (7) has maintained form/consistency alternating between the 2 trotting disciplines and is another serious candidate for success. HOLD OF COMTAL (13), after a reassuring effort at Marseille-Boraly, HAUT BRION (4), who remains inconsistent but is undeniably capable, and FLASH MONEY (2), whose last start (7th) isn't an accurate reflection/assessment of his ability, complete the shortlist.
Selection:
1 - 7 - 13
