Quality nordic import that has won 3 from 4 at Vincennes, latterly a 2100m Gr.3 in style here last weekend. Is proven at a superior level and looks competitive for a place in the frame

Useful mare that would have finished 3rd in a Gr.3 over course and distance a fortnight ago had she not faulted. Has won a Gr.2 under these conditions and although not a priority can still get a look-in

Honest trotter that ran 3rd of 10 to JOUMBA DE GUEZ (9) in 2700m Gr.3 Prix de Chenonceaux here a month ago. 5th in Criterium des 5 Ans during the autumn and is unlikely to be far from the action

Ran 5th in a Toulouse Gr.3 before finishing 9th of 12 in a 2850m Gr.2 here 3 weeks ago. Shoes back on and poses no threat

Produced a good effort to finish 2nd of 10 to JOUMBA DE GUEZ (9) in 2700m Gr.3 Prix de Chenonceaux here a month ago. Unlikely to repeat but can still pick up some prizemoney

3rd in Prix Marcel Laurent before running 4th of 10 to JOUMBA DE GUEZ (9) in 2700m Gr.3 Prix de Chenonceaux here a month ago. Has had time to freshen up and, dynamic in the day's configuration, must not be underestimated

Pleasantly surprising 3rd of 6, behind JUSTIN BOLD (11), in 2850m Gr.2 Prix Doynel de Saint-Quentin 3 weeks ago. Appears to be in rude health and looks capable of spicing things up

Defied her 13/1 to run close 2nd of 6 in 2850m Gr.2 Prix Doynel de Saint-Quentin 3 weeks ago. Has solid references at the highest level and in current form is easy to like for the win

Disappointing last of 6, behind JUSTIN BOLD (11), in 2850m Gr.2 Prix Doynel de Saint-Quentin 3 weeks ago. Races barefoot this time but still not an obvious choice

Serious mare that ran 10th of 15 in 2850m Gr.2 Prix du Bourbonnais here a fortnight ago. Barefoot for just 2nd time in her career and will be expected to apply the pressure on JUSTIN BOLD (11)

Race Overview
Second Prix d'Amerique ticket on the line this afternoon in what looks a particularly open affair following 3 high-profile defections. Barefoot this time, JUSTIN BOLD (11) put in a fine effort to run 2nd to the absent Jushua Tree in the Gr.2 Prix Doynel de Saint-Quentin late last month and a similar performance would see him prevail. He will however be pitted against Prix de Bretagne fourth, JUST LOVE YOU (13) who has already punched her ticket to the Amerique, and a barefoot JOUMBA DE GUEZ (9) who secured a pair of harness Gr.3s before running 2nd in the Gr.1 Prix Bilibili under the saddle over course and distance a week ago. Particularly fond of the main track, WORKING CLASS HERO (3) made it 2 for 2 this winter when dominating a Gr.3 here recently and steps back up in class with a good hand to play.
