11th of 13, when preparing for this, in a 2950m Le Mans Class E last week. Boasts good speed and is here on her merits. Place chance

Authoritative winner of a 2700m Class E here 3 weeks ago. Rarely disappoints when barefoot and, from the 2-spot, is the horse in the cross-hairs. Claim

Decent but never-threatening 7th of 13 in a 2700m Class D at La Capelle late-August. Tends to acquit herself respectably here when focused though and is sufficiently well-placed to get a look-in

Considerably better than her 10th of 11 in a 2625m Cherbourg Class E a month ago would suggest. Has already won over track and trip, and with application, can give this a good go

Made up for her early-August clinker when close 2nd of 8 in a 2150m Enghien Class D 8 days later. Comes here fresh, is well-placed on the front line, and even with shoes on can still get in on the action

Takes a notable step up in class after running 2nd of 11 in a 2875m claimer here 9 days ago. Is unbeaten in the day's configuration, but others still preferred

11th of 15 in a 2850m Class D here a fortnight ago. Gets a front-row start but others still easier to back

Returns to racing barefoot after trotting 10th of 13 in a 2700m Class D at La Capelle 3.5 weeks ago. Has decent references over these shorter trips and, despite a wide draw, still merits respect

10th of 14 in a similar event here late last month, but in the absence of foreign horses, and the males, can get back in the game

Has not been seen out since finishing last of 11, behind JOYCE DE LA COUR (1), in a 2200m Le Mans Class D mid-July. Shoes on and no threat

Runner-up to JUNE D'ERABLE (2) in a 2700m Class E here late last month. Races shod this time though and best to wait

Unraced since being sanctioned in a 2200m Le Mans Class D mid-July. Just front shoes off this time but has been lacklustre this year and will have few takers

9th of 12, on return from a break, in a 2550m Dieppe Class E last Saturday. Stays shod and can be ruled out

Has struggled lately, most recently sanctioned in a 2400m Class D at Beaumont-de-Lomagne 3.5 weeks ago. On the back line, but returns to racing barefoot, and will have her supporters

Fine servant that finished last but one, on return from a spell, in a 2950m Le Mans Class E last week. Is still in conditioning-mode and not a priority this time

Sanctioned when never dangerous in a 2950m Vichy Class E earlier in the month. Handed an unfavourable draw but is not devoid of ability and should not be written off

Race Overview
Successful here last month, on her first objective of the new season, JUNE D'ERABLE (2) finds herself nicely-positioned on the front line and can make this her own. Consistent for the most part, unshod for the occasion, and with a Le Mans conditioner under her belt, JOYCE DE LA COUR (1) pleased on her lone start at the venue and is not going to be far off the mark. JUMBY BAY (4) seldom disappoints under these conditions, has the plum spot in front, sports a new configuration, and will be dangerous if Matthieu Abrivard can keep her trotting. Although drawn wide, JUVAMINE RENARDIER (9) can play an active role if she replicates her Argentan performance.
