Improving last-start winner who confirmed/built on the progress of her penultimate start (3rd) at Montmirail to open her account over 2200m at Clairefontaine on 20 July. High on the shortlist
J Dubois

2h5hDh5h6h3
Consistent performer with sound references/form credentials, albeit without a win. Acquitted herself well (3rd) over 2675m at Le Mont-Saint-Michel on 18 July and cannot be taken lightly with Benjamin Rochard engaged
P Laurent

Consistent filly, confirmed in this (plated) shoeing configuration - showed her form/well-being by finishing 3rd at La Capelle on 26 July
J Cottel

3h4h2h5h0hD
Complicated but undeniably capable of staking a claim if bouncing back to the form/promise she showed earlier in the year. Shouldnt be hastily condemned for her recent failure at Caen over 2450m on 20 June
Ecurie La Petteviniere

6h2h3h3hDh7
Honest performer with sound references, including a 2nd and two 3rd-place finishes. Unplaced (7th) at Langon over 200m on 30 July - needs to reaffirm, best watched for now

Delicate filly - disqualified in 4 of 5 appearances - but showed sufficient means when 2nd over 2150m at Enghien on 13 July to win a race of this nature, if avoiding disqualification. Worth another chance
Mme N Viel-pierre

Made an eye-catching debut at Mauquenchy on 22 July, finishing 2nd (shod) over 2850m. Would've gained from that experience - races plated in front

Inconsistent but isnt entirely incapable of making her presence felt, judged on her 2nd at Craon over 2275m on 23 June. Outsider

Improved from her debut disqualification to finish an encouraging 6th on this course over 2750m on 6 August. Could have more to offer
Mme N Viel-pierre

h4hDh1hD
Delicate filly but is certainly not devoid of means/ability - confirmed as much by winning Brehal over 2325m last month (22 July). Shouldnt be hastily condemned for her recent failure on this course over 2750m on 6 August
Etienne Dubois

Improved with the benefit of an introductory outing (7th) to open her account at the second attempt, winning at Argentan over 2875m on 27 January. Disqualified in all 4 subsequent outings, the latest at Granville (6 August)

h6h2h2hD
Finished 2nd at Bihorel-les-Rouen in May and filled the runners-up berth again at Genets over 2600m on 7 July. Shouldnt be hastily condemned for her recent failure at Le Mont-Saint Michel on 18 July

Race Overview
LIBERTY PIYA (7) would certainly have played a leading role at Enghien last time were it not for her unfortunate fault, and she could be worth another chance. Promising last-start winner L'AMETHYSTE (2), and LA PERLA DE LOU (8), who finished an eye-catching 2nd on debut, should improve to fight for victory. LADY MAJOR (3), LA BELLE VIE (1) and LOVELY SURPRISE (11) complete the shortlist.
Selection:
7 - 2 - 8
