Modest 5th of 9 in a 2625m Cherbourg Class G 6 days ago after having surprised here 10 days earlier, and will have few takers

Has looked a different horse since switching codes, latterly 4th behind KEMETCHA DES BAUX (1) in a 2700m Graignes Class F a fortnight ago, but at this level will not be troubling the judge

Faulted in a 2875m Enghien Class D a fortnight ago. Never far from losing her action but is hard to knock when focused. First-5 chance

An exciting prospect back under the saddle after coming last of 6 in a 2550m Reims Class E harness freshener mid-March and looks thoroughly capable of winning a race of this nature

In the frame in both monte starts, most recently close 2nd in a 2875m Enghien Class D, and even with shoes back on can play an important role

Lost her action in a 2875m Enghien Class D 2 weeks ago. Form is not in doubt though and will be expected to put things right. Place prospect

Useful sort that would have finished closer than 4th in the Enghien race of reference had she not briefly faulted. Sports a new configuration and is unlikely to go home empty-handed

5th of 12 in a harness Class D over course and distance 10 days ago. Sanctioned in both monte starts to date but races unshod behind and can start to make good on her potential

Race Overview
Sent for a break after confirming her monta potential mid-January, KARA MIA (4) has two races in her and returns to the discipline with victory a distinct possibility. KARINE DU DOLLAR (8) will have come on for her re-entry run, sports just front shoes, and will have a lot to offer if Julien Balu keeps her focused. KEJAIME DE HOUELLE (6) has buckets of ability, reverts to a winning configuration and, on good behaviour, will be competitive for a spot on the podium. KOOKIE DE BELLANDE (5) made up for her Reims harness sanction with a solid Enghien performance and, even though shod this time, must still be taken seriously.
Selection:
4 - 8 - 6
