Capable filly with sound references/form credentials, including a last-start 2nd over 1800m in a claimer at Compiegne on 17 September. Not taken lightly in her first handicap appearance

Won a 1900m Argentan claimer on heavy ground last month but failed to confirm that form/improvement when finishing unplaced (7th of 10) in a 2000m maiden at Angers on 27 October. Needs to reaffirm

Race Overview
CAZADERO (1) is improving with each start and every step up in distance, so this extended trip should unlock further progress. He gets the nod on his handicap debut ahead of BERLINETTA (2), despite the removal of the latter's headgear in which she had improved. Nevertheless, she leads the opposition although DUCHESSE DE MORNY (3), whose encouraging last start over this trip bodes well for her chances, also has the means to play a leading role. RUE DU PERCHE (6) and CERVINIA (4) complete the shortlist.
