10th of 15 in a 2150m Enghien Class D 3 weeks ago. Has been off the boil for some time and can be ruled out

Steps back up in class after winning a 2100m claimer here on 24 September, but has no realistic chance

Last of 14, on return from her spell, in a Class C over course and distance a fortnight ago. Still in preparation mode though and best to wait

11th of 14, behind KULTA (6), when being prepared for this in a Class C over course and distance a fortnight ago. Has very good references under these conditions and looks the horse to beat

6th of 14, behind KULTA (6), when being prepared for this, in a Class C over course and distance a fortnight ago. Has yet to deliver at Vincennes but enjoys an excellent opportunity this time around

4th of 14 in a Class C over course and distance a fortnight ago. Is never far from faulting but is clearly at the top of her game and, with application, can finish in the mix

Gave an excellent account in Hamburg before being sanctioned over 2100m at Wolvega on 12 October. Reunited with Eric Raffin and will have a lot to contribute if she stays in stride

Useful filly making first appearance since coming 4th of 9 in a 2300m Borely Class C last May, and will need the outing

6th of 13 in a 2800m Cordemais Class B on 6 October. Won under these conditions last winter, races barefoot this time, but is not an obvious priority

Showed early promise but has since lost her way, latterly sanctioned at the start of a 2450m Caen Class C 11 days ago, and cannot be considered a player

Sanctioned early in a 2450m Caen Class C 11 days ago. Should not be too hastily-judged and Benjamin Rochard is unlikely to let the same thing happen twice

Won at Parilly before finishing 7th of 14 in a 2800m Rambouillet Class B early this month. Races shod this time though and others easier to back

Last of 6, on return from a spell, in a 2450m Caen Class C 11 days ago. Has yet to disappoint here and is not about to start. Chance

Has not been seen out since faulting in a 2050m Cabourg Class D mid-August. Has evident ability but is shod for comeback and best to hold off

9th of 13, behind KIMIKO DU DOUBS (10), in a 2800m Cordemais Class B conditioner 3.5 weeks ago. Excels at Vincennes, and with Gabi Gelormini back in the bike, can bring the fight to KELLY JANE (4)
Ecurie Smart
Race Overview
Productive here last winter, KELLY JANE (4) has 3 conditioners in her since the break, goes first-time barefoot, and looks thoroughly up to the task of securing her first objective of the year. Ideally-engaged at the limit of earnings, KHALEESI SMART (16) is shod to preference following her comeback run and, not once out of the frame here, looks the principal danger. Hard to fault when focused, KOURGA DE LOU (5) goes barefoot this time and after a convincing re-entry run, looks competitive. A veritable steamroller when unshod, KETY DU GOUTIER (14) is similarly barefoot and must be considered a serious player.
