Easy 2nd of 6 finishers in a 2700m Graignes Class F on 13 October, but will struggle to repeat

Runner-up in her last 4, latterly a 2700m Vincennes Class E on 22 October, but it is only a matter of time before she gets that maiden monkey off her back. Chance

Last of 10 in a 2700m harness Class F at Le Croise-Laroche 9 days ago. Has done nothing noteworthy for some time and is not about to break the mould

Was being prepped for this when sanctioned in a 2700m Graignes harness Class F 3 weeks ago. Is better than most here and, with application, can wrap this up

6th of 11, behind JABIOLE BELLEMARE (3), in a 2700m Vincennes Class E on 22 October. Is better than that though, has Mauquenchy references, and must be taken seriously

Encouraging 4th of 12 in a 2500m Reims harness Class F a month ago and, if form transitions, can get in on the action

Unremarkable 7th of 12 in a 2425m Angers Class F 3 weeks ago. Has otherwise been in fine form but, in this category, cannot be considered more than a minor place prospect
Ecurie Pascal Bretaudeau

Makes first appearance since running 9th of 13 in a 2725m Pornichet harness Class D on 21 September. Will have freshness on his side, seldom disappoints in this code, and is unlikely to be going home empty-handed
Ecurie Stephane Bourlier

Surprising 3rd of 15 in a 3250m Saumur harness Class F 3 weeks ago. Has otherwise been out of sorts and will have little to contribute
Morgan Vanhee

Sanctioned in a 2850m Hyeres harness claimer on 29 October. Has previously made her mark in the discipline and should not be discounted

Last but one in a 2700m Graignes Class D 8 days ago. Appears to be off the boil and is unlikely to shake things up

Back under the saddle after running 7th of 10 in a 2400m Amiens harness Class F a fortnight ago, and can get a look-in if she replicates her Arras performance

Has not been seen out since coming 4th to JINGER (2) in a 2800m Vire Class F early-September. Has bags of class but just hind pads fitted this time and best to wait

10th of 12 when preparing for this in a 2725m Pornichet harness Class F 10 days ago. Should take well to the new conditions and will be expected to finish in the mix at the business end of affairs

Race Overview
A quality individual but never far from faulting, JADE DE BLARY (6) races barefoot for this first time this term and will just need to stay in stride to win a race of this nature. JABIOLE BELLEMARE (3) has been knocking at the door over recent months and even racing shod, still looks dangerous. JOIE DE VIVRE (7) went close last time here, takes a dip in category, and will have her chances. Nicely-engaged here, and barefoot after a harness conditioner, JUNIOR INTRIGANT (16) must be afforded respect.
Selection:
6 - 3 - 7
