Last but one over 1640m at home in Jagersro late-July. Has monte form in Sweden but appears to be biting off more than he can chew

7th of 8, behind ZANZA FRANK (8), in a 2725m Pornichet Class E 11 days ago. Yet to show any particular bent for the code and can be ruled out
D Cinier

m7-m3m6mDmDm0
Won a 2950m Le Mans Class E, on comeback 3 weeks ago. Mathieu Mottier in the irons this time and could well win this if he manages to keep his charge trotting

Not entirely without merit but trailed in last of 8 in a 2550m Class D at Beaumont-de-Lomagne on 9 September and will need to raise his game

8th of 10, on return to competition, in a 2700m Vincennes Class D 2.5 weeks ago. Will have come on for the run but others still preferred
Sc Allenamento Team Minopoli

Won at Cabourg before enduring stride woes in a 2875m Argentan Class F mid-July. Unraced since but is no slouch when focused and must be considered a contender
Ecurie Jean-pierre Barjon

m2m3m6m2m3m6
Returns to racing right-handed after finishing last but one in a 2700m Vincennes Class C last week. Unexceptional here in July and not a priority
D De Jesus Reis
G

m2m1m5
Quality Italian veteran that has turned a corner since coming to France, latterly 5th of 8 in a 2725m Pornichet Class E 11 days ago, but has conditions in his favour here and can make this his own
Scuderia Edera Verde
G

mDm1m3m2m2m2
Runner-up in last 3, most recently a 3100m Class H at Nort-sur-Erdre 2.5 weeks ago. Steps back up in category but has nothing to prove at this level and will be expected to give ZANZA FRANK (8) a run for his money
Ecurie Herve Guerin

mDh0h0h0h0h0
Last of 14 when preparing for this in a 2950m harness Class E at Le Mans 3 weeks ago. Boasts solid monte references though and, barefoot for the occasion, could pleasantly surprise
Ecurie Sylvain Marmion
G

h9m8m4m8hDh4
Back under the saddle after coming 4th of 9 in a 2550m Reims harness Class G mid-month and is not about to spring a surprise
O Horvath

hDh5h5h5h9h9
Debuts in the discipline after finishing 9th of 13 in a 2700m Graignes Class F late-August, and will have few friends
Ecurie Peloski

m1h1m2m5h6m5
5th of 6 in a 2625m Class F at La Rochelle early-August. Enjoys a good entry though, races barefoot for first time in over 2 years, and will be dangerous if Marius Durville keeps him trotting
Ec Julienne

m7m3m6m5mDm3
Made up for her Laval sanction when 3rd of 8 in a 2750m Class E at La Capelle on 23 September. Is unlikely to cause an upset but can still make her presence felt

Race Overview
Enjoying something of a second youth after switching codes, ZANZA FRANK (8) is reunited with Eric Raffin who ran 2nd with him here in July and looks thoroughly capable of imposing this time. They will still encounter resistance from the on-form IDEAL DU NOYER (9) who is dynamic when barefoot, and ILEO PIERJI (13) who is significantly better than his latest performance would suggest. MISTER INVICTUS (6) may not have been seen out since mid-July but he has shoes off and has shown considerable potential.
Selection:
8 - 9 - 13
