Unremarkable 6th of 9 in a 2800m Chartres Class E mid-October and already looks to be out of her depth

Has turned a corner since being associated with Adrien Lamy, latterly winning a 2700m Graignes Class F on 2 October. May struggle to repeat but can still make first 3

Last but one in a 2875m Enghien Class D a month ago and would be preferred at a lower level
Philippe Rennesson

Won a Class E at Angouleme before faulting in a 2725m Cabourg harness Class D mid-October. Debuts under the saddle with the good Estelle Croisic in the irons and the new configuration should stand her in good stead

Placed at Meslay before galloping early in a 2775m Class E at Les Sables 3.5 weeks ago, and is unlikely to spring any surprises

Yet to deliver since the break, most recently sanctioned in a 2700m Class D here late last month. Has bags of ability though, hind shoes off for the occasion, and it is only a question of time before she comes good again

9th of 14 in a 2700m harness Class D here a fortnight ago. Has nothing to prove under these conditions and is not incapable of contesting the finish

Drops in category after finishing 8th of 10 in a Class D over course and distance 3.5 weeks ago. Is proven here but current form does little to convince

Won over the short course here before imposing easily in a 2700m Class D here late last month. Modified shoeing this time but will still garner the lion's share of support

Race Overview
A remarkable campaigner in the monte division, the ideally-engaged ISLAMORADA (10) simply excels at Vincennes when barefoot, and even though sporting just front pads this time, she still looks the one to beat. Unbeaten in 2 harness starts over course and distance, IDOLE DE RETZ (8) can boast solid references under the saddle and, shod to preference, will be no easy touch. HEADLINE FAC (3) is like a horse reborn this autumn and will have her chances.
Selection:
10 - 8 - 3
