Won a 2800m Chartres Class G with ease 12 days ago, when padded for the first time. Similarly-configured here and is unlikely to go home empty-handed

4th of 9, behind LIO DE PIENCOURT (8), in a 2700m Graignes Class F early this month. Padded for the first time but others still easier to back

Comfortably opened her account in a 2400m Chateaubriant Class F 2.5 weeks ago. Is clearly on the way up and the engagement of Alexandre Abrivard will only work to her advantage

11th of 13 in a 2600m Saint-Galmier Class E 10 days ago. Is not without merit, and sports front pads for first time, but would be preferred at a lower level

Left a good impression on re-entry before coming 4th of 10 in a 2850m Laval Class E 3 weeks ago. Is plainly in shape and can get in on the action if she takes to the new profile

Comfortable 2nd of 9 finishers in a 2700m Graignes Class F early this month. Takes on a better lot this time but sports pads for the occasion and can get a look-in

Returns to racing left-handed after coming 4th of 12 in a 2750m Cabourg Class E on 26 October. Sports pads this time, with Yoann Lebourgeois reining, and must not be discounted

Surprise 3rd of 8 in a 2700m Class E here on 14 November. Franck Nivard at the helm this time and can get her nose in front if she deigns to stay in stride

Got off the mark at Bordeaux before running 3rd of 10 in a 2400m Amiens Class F mid-month. Takes a notable step up the category-ladder but races with front pads, will be reined by Mathieu Mottier, and will have her supporters

Sanctioned, on first start for 3 months, in a 2550m Reims Class E a fortnight ago. Goes left-handed for first time and not an obvious choice

Showed marginal improvement when 5th of 8 in a 2725m Graignes Class E 2.5 weeks ago, but is still being aimed too high

Last but one in a 2850m Mauquenchy Class E on 10 November. Fitted with pads this time, enjoys a good entry, but still not easy to recommend

Race Overview
LAURIANE DU RIED (10) put a brace of sanctions behind her with a fine run over longer here mid-month and in similar form could finally get that maiden monkey off her back. She will still encounter opposition from LESLIE DE VANDEL (2) who is better than her recent effort would suggest, and LIGNE BLANCHE (5) who earned the right to race here after scoring at Chateaubriant. LEIRIA (3) acquitted herself well on her recent re-entry, will have come on for the run, and will be no pushover.

10 - 2 - 5
