Pleasant 6th of 13 behind HARVEST (2) in a 3000m Nantes Class E on 3 June. Entrusted to Alexandre Abrivard this time, races barefoot, and his Vincennes record speaks for itself. Possible spoiler

Pleased here on return from his spell before trotting 3rd of 13 in a 3000m Nantes Class E earlier in the month. Takes on a tough bunch here but is plainly nearing his best and can impose

Reassuring 4th to EGINE PRECIEUSE (18) at Laval earlier this month, on return from a spell. Is undeniably adept but takes on a tough task

Returned to racing barefoot last November and has not put a foot out of place since, most recently 3rd of 8 in a 2950m Vichy Class D on 3 June. In better company this time but always gives his best and will not be far off the mark

Solid in 3 before faulting, when favourite, in a 2825m Class D at Le Croise-Laroche a month ago. Form is not in question though and will be expected to make amends

8th of 9 on return to the monte code before coming a reassuring 3rd of 15 in a 2700m harness Class C here 3 weeks ago. Hind shoes back on this time though and others preferred

Has hardly put a foot wrong since early-April, most recently 3rd, a place behind GUAPO MARBOULA (16), in a 2850m Laval Class C on 5 June. Will have come on for the run and will not be available at 47/1 on this occasion

Last of 8 in a 2950m Vichy Class D early-June and quite simply has no realistic chance

A write-off this term, most recently 9th of 11 finishers in Laval race of reference, and can be disregarded

5th of 16 in a 2875m Enghien Class C last weekend. Barefoot for first start over the inner track and is unlikely to disappoint

Encouraging but unexceptional 4th of 8 in a 3000m Marseille-Borely Class C on 17 May. Eric Raffin reining this time but others still preferred
R De Becquincourt

Last but one behind GADGET DU GADE (10) in a 2875m Enghien Class C last weekend and already looks an also-ran
Ch Levacher

8th of 13 finishers in a 2850m claimer here late last month. Has excellent monte credentials and even though in tough company this time, he sports front pads and will have his supporters
Ch Espern

7th of 9, when being conditioned, in a 2875m harness Class D last weekend. Has not been seen over the short course since 2021 but appreciates Vincennes in general and with shoes off this time, can get straight back in the game
Ecurie J-f Senet

Below-par 7th to GUAPO MARBOULA (16) in a 2850m Laval Class C earlier this month. Boasts a decent record under these conditions however and should not be written off
L Terbeche

Fast-finishing 2nd of 15 in a 2850m Laval Class C on 5 June. Has solid references over course and distance and will be no shrinking violet if Anthony Barrier manages to keep him trotting

Going well when sanctioned in early-June Laval race of reference. Is absolutely capable in this branch of the business, has front shoes off, but has been aimed a bit too high this time
S Decoulgens

By no means disgraced when 8th behind GADGET DU GADE (10) in a 2875m Enghien Class C last Saturday. Sports a hood for the first time and will be expected to confirm her form. Chance

Race Overview
Something of an open affair this but it is hard to ignore HARVEST (2) who simply thrives over both tracks at Vincennes, races barefoot for the occasion, and who is eminently capable of wrapping this up. That being said, EGINE PRECIEUSE (18) enjoys a superb entry at the limit of earnings, similarly races unshod-all-4, and should take well to the new conditions. GUAPO MARBOULA (16) ended his string of sanctions with a fine run at Laval and will have his chances if he stays in stride. GADGET DU GADE (10) put in an encouraging performance across town last Saturday and with shoes off this time should prove more competitive.

2 - 18 - 16
