Put on a fine show after being sanctioned in a 2850m Mauquenchy Class F a week ago. Sports modified shoeing and should not be written off

Ran a flattering 6th here before being sanctioned in a 2850m Mauquenchy Class F last weekend. Is not devoid of ability but others still preferred

4th of 9, at 105/1, in a 2850m Mauquenchy Class F last Sunday, but a repeat seems most improbable

Boasts fine monte references but has not raced since running 2nd of 12 in a 2750m La Capelle Class F last May. Barefoot for re-entry but may need the race

13th of 14 in a 2500m Saint-Brieuc harness Class F 2 weeks ago. Flopped on lone ridden outing and, even going barefoot, cannot be considered a priority

Enjoying rich vein of form over past 2 months, most recently 3rd of 9, behind JAMAICA D'OYSE (12), in a 2450m Caen Class F last weekend. Steps up in category but is not to be overlooked

10th of 15 in a 2750m Cabourg harness Class E 3 weeks ago. Reverts to a previous formula for monte debut but is unlikely to spring any surprises

Opened her ridden account at first time of asking, dominating a 2375m Castelsarrasin Class F a week ago. Pitted against better here but has never disappointed in the day's configuration and will have her supporters

Not at her ease, but evidently in shape, when 6th of 10 in a 3000m Nantes Class F 11 days ago. Is in her category and, reconfigured for Vincennes debut, should not be far off the mark

Makes just 2nd appearance in the discipline after being sanctioned in a 2825m Parilly harness Class B early last month. Races shod and will have few takers

Close 2nd of 9, on monte debut last weekend, in a 2450m Caen Class F. Comes to Vincennes with morale intact and, in current condition, is very easy to recommend. Chance

Sanctioned early in a 3000m Nantes Class F 11 days ago. Has bags of ability for this category and can make this her own if she gets off on the right foot

Unraced since winning a 2900m Arras Class E on 22 September. Has had ample time to get back in shape and, considering the entry, will have a lot to offer

Race Overview
Although not the easiest of horses to gauge, the reconfigured, JACANA DE BLARY (14) has been entrusted to Benjamin Rochard for the occasion and can win this if he manages to keep her focused. That said, JAMAICA D'OYSE (12) went close on her recent monte debut and the engagement of Francois Lagadeuc will do her prospects no disservice. Nicely-engaged at the limit of earnings, JOYEUSE D'OCCAGNES (15) got back in the winners' circle last time out and, fresh for her return, will be expected to play another active role. JALNA DU BUISSON (13) is seldom seen in the discipline but has shown potential and sports a fresh formula for the occasion.
Selection:
14 - 12 - 15
