Mlle S Briand

Cl Mathe

3h1h5h1h2h4
Consistent, lightly raced trotter with sound references including a last-start 4th over 2250m when last seen on 23 May at Salon-de-Provence. Best watched for now
Matthias Reichelt
G

8h8h4h4h3h5
Honest hard-knocker who seldom finishes far off the mark and boasts sound references in this shoe-fitting in this grade. Didn't go unnoticed when 5th over 3000m at Marseille-Borely on 11 September - dark horse
Ecurie Supreme
G

Dh1h3h5hDh8
Unreliable but has sufficient means to make his presence felt at this level under these conditions (unshod). Shouldn't be hastily condemned for his 8th in a stronger race over 2850m at Feurs on 2 September
Ecurie G R Huguet
G
4 yrs
Dh4h5h0h8h2
Inconsistent but confirmed under these/similar conditions and in this shoe-fitting. Returned to form with a reassuring 2nd over 2300m at Marseille-Borely on 29 August
P Vercruysse
F
4 yrs
1h7h1h9h2h4
Has regained momentum and proven her efficiency/competitiveness in this unshod configuration. Caught the eye when finishing 4th over 2650m at Hyeres on 12 August - won on her only visit to this course in June
Ecurie Mercure
C
4 yrs
1h1h1hDh2h9
Complicated colt with undeniable means - highly thought of by connections. Runner-up at Cagnes (2925m) before a disappointing last-start 9th over 3000m at Marseille-Borely on 11 September - can't be written off
Ecurie Bernard Sancho
G
4 yrs
2hDmDh1h8h0
Unreliable but has the means, even in this (shod) shoe-fitting, to stake a claim in a race of this nature on a going day. Has to bounce back from a disappointing 10th over 2850m at Lyon-Parilly on 5 September
R Nique
F
4 yrs
2h1h2h4h9hD
Unreliable but undeniably capable filly with the means to have a say in a race like this on a going day. Disqualified at Vichy on 27 August but could redeem herself racing in this shoe-fitting for the first time
Ecurie De L' Abbaye
F
4 yrs
1h1h2h2h2h1
Ultra-consistent, progresive filly with sound references/form credentials including a last-start win at Vichy over 2800m on 2 July. Has to be seriously respected on her reappearance
Ecurie Ph Boff
F
4 yrs
4h3h7h7h0h9
Out of sorts (unplaced her last 4 starts) but has sound references under these/similar conditions and in this barefoot configuration at a higher level. Finished 9th (shod) at Feurs on 2 September but fully unshod here
Ecurie Remy Despres
G
4 yrs
Dh2h1h4hDh2
Delicate but will be hard to beat if remaining wise (avoiding disqualification). Showed his form/well-being by finishing 2nd over 2850m at Feaurs on 2 September - sets the standard
G Dambach
F
4 yrs
2h9h0h5h4h7
Out of sorts but is confirmed under these/similar conditions and in this shoe-fitting with references at a higher level. Finished 7th over 2175m at Vincennes on 7 September she ought to fare better in this grade

Race Overview
KILL BILL PIYA (13) impressed when winning at this venue over 2525m during the spring and will logically start as the favorite. KANGALA DE FAEL (14) should find this an easier assignment after finishing unplaced at Vincennes last time and she possesses sufficient means to fight for victory, as does promising KENZA KALOUMA (11) who has revealed the ability/potential to pose a threat on her reappearance. KALGARY (8) and KOKIN DE BELLANDE (6) appeal most of the remainder.
Selection:
13 - 14 - 11
