5th of 8 behind MAESTRIA GALAA (5) in a 2450m Caen Class D 3.5 weeks ago. Has ground to make up and others preferred

Pleasant on debut before being sanctioned in a 2150m Enghien Class C on 10 October. Pitted against a more-exalted bunch here and can be ignored

Put 2 sanctions behind her when 3rd of 9 in a 2050m Lyon-La Soie Class D early this month, but chances slim this time

Runner-up on debut before coming 4th of 7 finishers in a 2050m Cabourg Class E 3 weeks ago. Takes on a better lot this time but should still be good enough to hold her own

Unable to confirm her good debut when 7th of 9, behind MOLLY DU VALLON (14), in a 2200m Class D here a fortnight ago. Is better than that though and could pleasantly surprise on Vincennes debut

Qualified superbly before easily winning a 2625m Cherbourg Class F on 1 October, first time out. In similar shape, can bring the fight to MAGIC AMERICA (7)

Made short work of a 2275m Nantes Class F on debut late last month. Eric Raffin in the wagon again and is in with a realistic shout of repeating

Won smartly on debut at La Capelle before faulting when going well in a 2200m Class D here 2 weeks ago. Has significant potential and can play an active role if she keeps trotting

Has done nothing but improve since her debut, most recently 3rd of 8, a place behind MAESTRIA GALAA (5) in a 2450m Caen Class D 3.5 weeks ago, and will again be competitive for a place cheque
Ecurie De Windcut

Moderate filly that was sanctioned in a 2400m Beaumont Class C on 1 October. Takes a hike in category and appears to have her work cut out

Reassuring 2nd of 10 in a 2400m Amiens Class E 2 weeks ago, but would be preferred a level down

Good 2nd here mid-September before being sanctioned early in a 2200m Class D here on 31 October. On good behaviour though, will have a claim on a place in the frame

5th of 8 in a 2150m Enghien Class C 2.5 weeks ago. Has significant promise and with Benjamin Rochard reining, can start to get back in the game. First 5

Race Overview
Kept back a few months after qualifying in very good order, MAGIC AMERICA (7) got her career off to a flying start 2.5 weeks ago and has the class to confirm. Filly of a very similar profile, MADRID HAUFOR (6) will be reined by Damien Bonne this time and is equally capable of repeating. MARALE SIBEY (8) got off the mark at the first time of asking before being sanctioned here next time, but with stride in check, can make amends. MOUSKIE DE GUEZ (12) is clearly a capable sort and will have a lot to contribute if Romain Congard keeps her trotting.
Selection:
7 - 6 - 8
