Back under harness after winning a 2950m Vichy monte Class F 2.5 weeks ago. Has other priorities though and can be disregarded

Pleased at Cabourg before coming 5th of 9 in a 2750m Ecommoy Class E 3.5 weeks ago. Is comfortable racing clockwise and will not be far off the mark if she takes to the new profile

Reassured somewhat at Villedieu before finishing 14th of 17 in a 2950m Saint-Malo Class F last Sunday, and backs up with very limited chances

Can trot but not the most reliable horse here, most recently an unremarkable 6th of 9 in a 2850m Parilly Class E a fortnight ago, and will need to find more

7th of 10 in a 3250m Class F at Saint-Ouen-des-Toits 3.5 weeks ago. Has done nothing noteworthy for some time and can be ruled out

Occasionally unfocused but has otherwise been in cracking form, most recently coming close 2nd of 13 in a 2725m Pornichet Class F late-August, and with Benjamin Rochard keeping faith, can play a prominent role

11th of 14 in a 2725m Pornichet Class F 11 days ago. Form heading in wrong direction and must get her house in order

Has gradually started to come good again, latterly 6th of 15 in a 3000m Nantes Class F last Friday. Yet to deliver here but her latest effort gives reason for hope. First 5

Easily won a 2650m Class F at Les Sables-d'Olonne on 6 September. Is confirmed under these conditions and, barefoot for the occasion, can confirm

Out of the picture in last 4, latterly 8th of 11 in a 2800m Bernay Class F a week ago. Has merit but has no love for the venue and a minor place prospect at best

Put a brace of sanctions behind her to run close 3rd of 12 in a 2950m Le Mans Class E 3 weeks ago. Shod to preference this time and, if applied, will be no easy touch

Makes Meslay-du-Maine debut on a 4-timer, most recently dominating a 2550m Beaumont-de-Lomagne Class C on 9 September, and is in with a realistic shout of pulling it off

10th of 13 in a 2200m Caen Class D 2 weeks ago. Has otherwise been in fine form and is not one to be overlooked. Attention

Race Overview
ICARE DE PHYT'S (12) pulled off the hat-trick in a competitive affair at Beaumont-de-Lomagne early last month and a similar performance would see him dispose of the rejuvenated INDIAN PACIFIC (9) who has won 2 of his last 3 racing left-handed. Solid as a rock in 3 of her last 4, HYSOPE DU BOCAGE (6) is proven racing clockwise and in current form is very easy to like. HIRONDELLE FEE (11) put in a superb final effort at Le Mans last time and, with hind shoes off, looks particularly competitive.
Selection:
12 - 9 - 6
