Sanctioned in last 2, latterly 25 October race of reference, and is not going to garner much support

Honest sort that finished a flattering 4th behind JUNE (6) in a Gr.2 over course and distance on 11 October. Not a priority but could still finish in first 5

Takes a big step up in category after coming 3rd of 13 in a 2875m Enghien harness Class D late last month. Has solid monte references but may be biting off more than she can chew

Quality mare making first start since running 8th of 9 in a 2850m Class B here last June. Is barefoot for re-entry and should be good enough to finish in the mix

Won 2 in a row before coming 2nd of 6 in a 2175m Gr.2 here late last month and, in the absence of that day's winner, can take the plaudits this time

Ran 2nd in a Gr.2 under these conditions before coming 3rd, a place behind JAMAICA PHEDO (5), in a 2175m Gr.2 here 2 weeks ago, and once again appears to pose the principal danger

Last of 6, behind JAMAICA PHEDO (5), in a 2175m Gr.2 here 2 weeks ago. Is otherwise a serious operator in this code and, if on his A-game, can make a big splash

Race Overview
Enjoying something of a renaissance since returning to the ridden discipline, JAMAICA PHEDO (5) put in quite a performance in the Gr.2 Prix Herve Ceran-Maillard here a fortnight ago and, barefoot this time, can have her moment in the sun. Back on the right road, JUNE (6) followed her in that day and can again apply the pressure, as can the classy JEAN BALTHAZAR (7) despite finishing last on that occasion.
Selection:
5 - 6 - 7
