Unplaced in last 2 here, most recently 11th of 16 in a similar event 10 days ago. Is better than the result would suggest and, barefoot for the occasion, can pick up some prizemoney

7th of 15 in a 3000m Nantes Class F a fortnight ago. Defied her odds that day but is not about to repeat

Race Overview
Very hard to knock when barefoot and focused, GIGI DES NEUF CLOS (10) was back in the winners circle at Pontchateau recently and, confirmed at Caen, may well prove the horse to beat. She will nevertheless encounter resistance from HANIKA DU LUPIN (9) who is significantly better than latest results would imply, and HERMINE DE RHEVE (12) who put on a good show at Reims earlier in the month. HEROINE DE GUERRE (4) beat the favourite at Reims last month and is not one to be underestimated.
Selection:
10 - 9 - 12
