Disqualified in all three appearances under the saddle, so is hard to recommend. Others are preferred

Has shown serious ability in the harness category, winning his last start over 2800m in this shoe fitting, at Cholet on 29 April. Keep safe

Showed promise in the harness code but has taken her game/form to new heights in the mounted code, winning both starts under the saddle - the latest over 2175m at Vincennes on 28 May. The one to beat

Endowed with quality in the harness category and is not incapable of establishing himself under the saddle either. Could do better in this code after a disappointing latest start (8th) in a 2175m Vincennes harness race on 28 May

Consoistent colt with sound references/form credentials, including a last-start 2nd behind LOVISSIME (4) at Vincennes over 2175m on 28 May. Place chance

Progressive colt who has won back-to-back course-and-distance mounted races, the latest on 23 April. Not taken lightly, even with his irons fitted

Race Overview
Given the manner of her two successes under the saddle, LOVISSIME (4) has a bright future in this code and seems capable of remaining undefeated in the mounted category by taking out this Group II event. LEARN TO FLY (5) and LE JIBAY (3), who have shown considerable means in harness races, aren't underestimated in their first appearances under the saddle. After finishing 2nd behind the selection earlier this year, LUNIK DU CHOQUEL (6) has legitimate claims, too.
Selection:
4 - 5 - 3
