Last-start winner (in this barefoot configuration) of a 2700m Class F event at Cagnes on 17 July. Will find this tougher

-h6h1h1hDh0
Disqualified (shod) on her comeback from a 3-month absence and unplaced (11th) over 2150m at Cagnes on 20 July. Unbeaten in this shoe-fitting and is likely to have been carefully prepared for this engagement
Mme G Cersosimo
F

5h2hDh8h2h7
Inconsistent 2-start maiden whose best references/performances have been achieved at a lower level. Only 7th over 2150m at Cagnes on 20 July - others preferred
Mlle S Briand

-h2h5h8h5h3
Ultra-consistent filly with sound references/form credentials, including an encouraging last-start 3rd in the same barefoot configuration at Cagnes over 2150m on 20 July. Not taken lightly
Ecurie Eric Lemaitre
F

2h3h2h9h7hD
Distance-suited filly with a win, a 2nd and a 4th from her last 3 course-and-distance appearances. Returned from a 3-month absence when disqualified over 2875m at Enghien on 6 July but could well redeem herself
Ecurie Del Team
F

-h2h3h9m4h0
Lightly raced 9-start maiden who finished 2nd in 4 of her first 5 appearances. Finished a well-beaten 14th at Enghien over 2875m on 6 July but is more than likely to fare better at this level/against this opposition
R G Bellaiche

Finished an improved/eye-catching 2nd over 2150m at Cagnes on 20 July in her first barefoot appearance. Confirmation expected
Ph Mollay

2h5h7h7h0h4
Didn't go unnoticed when 4th over 2925m on her return from a 4-month absence at Cagnes on 8 July. For lovers of outsiders
Bvba Lieven De Groote
F
4 yrs
5-h1h1hDh8
Unbeaten in 2 starts at this venue, including one over this distance (on 10 February), and has won 2 of her 3 appearances in this barefoot configuration. Only 8th (shod) over 2875m at Enghien on 13 July but will pose more of a threat under these conditions
Ecurie Quick Star
F
4 yrs
1h2-hDh5h1
Delicate but has undeniable means - confirmed as much by winning over 2150m at this venue on 20 July in her first barefoot appearance. Confirmation expected
Ecurie Du Vieux Chene
F
4 yrs
Dh0h6h5h9h8
Revealed considerable early promise (in 2022) but has lost her way this year - unplaced in her last 5 starts, the latest (8th) at Cagnes over 2150m on 13 July. Presented plated for the first time in her career
Mlle Amelie Grosbot
Race Overview
Progressive KALLISTEE (10) looked better than ever when winning here over 2150m last week in her first barefoot appearance. She tends to be a tricky customer, especially at the start/in the initial stages, but need only confirm the improvement made in this configuration to win again over this extended distance. KATANA QUICK (9) is, however, likely to prove a worthy adversary. The latter boasts an unbeaten two-from-two record on this track and has won both completed outings (3 starts) when racing unshod. KATE (5), KAYA DU SAPTEL (4) and KAICHA (2) appeal most of the remainder.
