Sanctioned in last 2, most recently a 2825m Vire Class F 9 days ago, and can expect to have few takers

Takes first competitive monte steps after coming 6th of 15 in a 2200m Caen Class E 11 days ago, and is not about to influence the result

Steps up in category after losing his maiden status in a 2850m Laval Class E late last month. Is unlikely to shake things up but should still acquit himself honourably

Got off the monte mark, with ease, in a 2450m Caen Class E early last month. Has yet to deliver over the inner track but is barefoot for the first time at Vincennes and appears to be in with a realistic shout

Capable type that finished a rather flattering 4th of 9 finishers in a 2450m Caen Class D 11 days ago. Is not without merit though and can get a look-in

Back barefoot under the saddle after trotting last of 9, on re-entry, in a 2875m Meslay-du-Maine Class D 3 weeks ago, but is biting off more than she can chew

Never far from faulting but has won last 4 races she has finished. Should appreciate the inner track and, with application, can go far
Ecurie Hunter Valley

Sanctioned, on comeback, in a 2700m harness Class D here on 4 June. Can trot but finds herself in superior company this time and, even with shoes off, will have too much to do

Debuts in the monte discipline after trotting 8th of 10 in a 2825m Cordemais Class D on 24 April and, in this company, appears to be out of her depth

Last of 7 on comeback in a harness Class D over 2700m on 4 June. Debuts over the inner track but should not be inconvenienced and, with shoes off, should have a lot to contribute

Off the track since 18 April when winning a 2875m Enghien Class D on first association with Eric Raffin, and with freshness on his side, will be no easy touch

10th of 11 finishers in a 3000m Nantes harness Class D when preparing for this earlier in the month. Hind shoes off this time, with Paul Ploquin in the irons, and must be afforded respect

Tricky mare returning to her code of preference after finishing last of 11 when being conditioned in a 3000m Nantes harness Class D early-June. Flew up last time under the saddle and has a decent chance of repeating

Race Overview
Tricky at the best of times, KARA MIA (13) has nevertheless demonstrated good aptitude for the ridden code and, with front pads fitted this time, can complement last months victory over the main track. Mathieu Mottier will still be keeping a keen eye on KENYAN BLUES (4) who returns barefoot to Paris after opening his monte account at Caen early-May. Enjoying something of a renaissance, KOALA (11) makes his Vincennes debut after winning 2 in a row and even though unseen for 2 months, still looks a serious proposition. KELLY D'ESSARTS (10) has never disappointed under the saddle here and, first time barefoot, is not going to be far from the action.
