Rejuvenated filly in good form and physical condition - wouldn't be winning out of turn after 4 encouraging performances, the latest (4th) over 2175m at Vincennes on 14 December. Sets the standard

Honest hard-knocker with the form and experience (at a higher level) to make his presence felt in a race like this. Didn't go unnoticed (7th) at Pontchateau over 2800m on 22 December

Consistent performer with references at a higher level. Didnt go unnoticed, despite finishing unplaced (8th), over 2100m at Vincennes on 15 November. Keep safe

Tricky customer with undeniable means - usually performs well, especially on this course, when remaining wise. Shouldnt be hastily condemned for her failure (disqualification) at Vincennes on 5 December - respect

Unreliable trotter with undeniable means (sound references/form credentials in this shoeing configuration), so shouldn't be hastily condemned for finishing 9th in a 2175m harness event at Vincennes on 13 December

Sparked improvement (didn't go unnoticed) when finishing 6th over 2150m at Cagnes on 14 December. Not taken lightly

Delicate filly with undeniable means - seldom far from a fault but usually acquits herself well when applied. Shouldnt be hastily condemned for her latest failure (disqualification) at Vincennes on 7 December - beware

At the top of her game after back-to-back recent victories, the latest over 2550m at Beaumont at the start of the month (1 December.). Must be respected in current form

Complicated but undeniably capable trotter with sufficient means/sound references but disqualified in 3 of his last 4 starts, including consecutive recent comeback appearances, the latest at Laval on 16 November

Unreliable and currently out of sorts - finished 11th (shod) on this course over 2650m on 17 December but is capable of achieving a better result with his shoes removed (unshod for this commitment)

Experienced trotter with sound references/form credentials at this level under these/similar conditions and in this shoeing configuration. Finished 8th (shod) on this course over 2650m on 17 December - can do better

Complicated trotter, disqualified in 3 consecutive recent appearances - the latest in a 2850m Quinte+ race at Vincennes on 29 November. Has undeniable means but this will again be a question of his wisdom

Smart filly with references at a higher level, as well as a win and a 2nd in 2 appearances in this shoe-fitting. Unplaced (11th) in a 2850m Vincennes Group III on 1 December but will find this a lot easier

Complicated trotter disqualified in 6 of her last 7 appearances, including 3 consecutive recent starts - latest over 2950m at Le Mans on 16 December. Others preferred

Consistent trotter with scope to improve and sound references/form credentials, including a last-start 3rd at Beaumont over this distance on 1 December. Dark horse

Inconsistent trotter with undeniable means/references, though not as effective racing with his irons (shod). Best watched for now
