Quality but temperamental type that stays shod after faulting in a 2275m Nantes monte Class E on 3 June and best to keep one's powder dry

7th of 9 finishers in a 2100m Vincennes Class E early-June and will struggle to make any impact

Good, consistent mare but has not been seen out since coming 5th of 11 in a 2700m Vincennes Class E early-May and, with shoes on, is best left alone this time
B Carpentier

Disappointing on the whole this year, most recently sanctioned in a 2850m Laval Class E 2 months ago. Has had time to get his house in order but still represents no more than a minor place prospect
Ecurie Comte P De Montesson

4hDh5h8h9hD
Has ample ability and goes either direction but is currently off the boil, most recently sanctioned in a 2475m Royan Class E mid-month and is not about to rock the boat
M Pigaut

6h7h2h1h9hD
Can prove a handful, as he demonstrated when sanctioned in a 2750m Cabourg Class E 9 days ago, but is plainly in form and with application can challenge for a place on the podium
Ecurie Andre Carree

Useful sort that won a 2750m Ecommoy Class F 2 weeks ago. Reunited with Eric Raffin who has form with him and can repeat
Ecurie Herve Guerin

Lost his action in a 2475m Royan Class E a week ago. Never far from faulting but form is not in doubt and deserves to be taken seriously

Won at Vichy early-June before placing in next 2, latterly 3rd of 7 in a 2600m Plestin-Les Greves Class E, and will be expected to play a leading role
Ecurie Marc Sassier

Never-dangerous 5th of 9 finishers in a 2150m Vire Class E on 1 July and, in order to compete here, will need to take her game up a notch

Sanctioned in last 4, most recently a 2875m Enghien Class D last weekend. Mathieu Mottier reining this time and, sporting a new configuration, will have her chances if applied
Ecurie Du Grand Buisson

Going decently when sanctioned in a 2150m Vire Class E 3 weeks ago. Not the most reliable of mares but is hard to fault when focused and, back with her habitual partner, can make a big impact

Race Overview
Doble-handed here, Marc Sassier looks to have the key to this race. Twice a winner since early May, JAURIAS (7) won smartly at Ecommoy a fortnight ago and with Eric Raffin reining this time, will be well-backed to confirm, however stablemate JAFLO GEMA (9) has not put a foot wrong lately and will be no pushover. JOUVENCE D'AVRIL (12) may not be the most dependable but she has good right-handed credentials and will not be far off the mark if Alexandre Abrivard keeps her trotting. JAPPELOU (6) was sanctioned early at Cabourg recently but pleased on his only start here and, with his mind on the game, will have a lot to contribute.
Selection:
7 - 9 - 12
