Sanctioned, on return to competition, in a 2750m Class E at La Capelle last Monday, and will have few friends

In the frame in last 2, most recently 2nd to KRONOS JIEL (3) in a 2400m Amiens Class E a fortnight ago. In better company this time and no more than a minor place chance

Sanctioned on monte debut here early-July before imposing at Amiens 2 weeks ago and must be considered a player

Unexceptional 7th of 10, on monte debut, in a 2875m Class E at Meslay-du-Maine on 21 July, and can be confidently passed over

Made it 5 straight sanctions when faulting in a 2950m Class D at Le Mans last Saturday. Has obvious ability though and the new configuration may do just the job. First 5

4th of 12 finishers in a harness Class E over course and distance on 23 July. Is behind in earnings and, with application, can win this

Disappointing for the most part lately, latterly sanctioned in a 2750m harness Class E here 10 days ago and, even with front shoes off, is unlikely to shake things up

Back under the saddle after faulting in a harness Class E over course and distance late-July. Has little love for the venue, but is proven in the discipline, and should not be overlooked

7th behind KOUREAS D'ELA (6) in a harness Class E over course and distance 10 days ago. Pleased on lone monte appearance and with Paul Ploquin in the irons, will be afforded every chance

Never far from faulting but came in an encouraging 3rd of 10 in a 2600m Montignac Class F a fortnight ago and, considering what she showed at Caen in June, can make a big splash

5th to KALINKA MELRIC (10) on monte debut before coming 4th of 11 in a 2725m harness Class E here on 9 July. Not a priority but races barefoot and can get in on the action

Still a handful since switching codes but left a very good impression when 2nd of 11 in a 2950m Le Mans Class D last weekend. Has a lot more to give and will justifiably garner considerable support

Race Overview
A tricky filly at the best of times, KOUREAS D'ELA (6) nonetheless opened her monte account, in good order, at Angers early-June. She showed her form under harness here 10 days ago and, shod to preference, looks a leading contender. Benjamin Rochard will still be keeping an eye on the tricky but capable KALINKA MELRIC (10) who reassured in the provinces last time out. KRONOS JIEL (3) may not be the easiest of horses to handle but he won superbly at Amiens recently and is by no means out of the picture. KABALA QUICK (12) is an interesting future prospect and merits respect.

6 - 10 - 3
