Experienced 12-start maiden with sound references (albeit without a victory), including a last-start 5th at Vertou on 25 August. Absent since so best watched on her reappearance
P Jannier

3h5h8h3h1hD
Lightly raced filly with undeniable means and room for improvement. Shouldn't be condemned for her failure at Pontchateau on 22 December, especially with her shoes removed for the first time in her career - keep safe
D B Leclerc

Dh2h9h3hDh8
Inconsistent but not devoid of ability and would've benefitted from her Pontchateau comeback (8th) over 2200m on 22 December after a 3-month absence. Not taken lightly
G Couge

0hDh5m2m8hD
Tricky but versatile trotter who is seldom far from a fault, though usually acquits herself well in both codes when avoiding disqualification. Best watched for now after her failure at Le Mans in a 2200m harness on 16 December
O Brusq

hDh1h1hD
Delicate filly with undeniable means and room for improvement - disqualified in 2 of her 4 starts, the latest over 2750m at Cabourg on 17 December. Won both completed outings so shouldn't be hastily condemned

Complicated but versatile filly with undeniable means/sound references, including a last-start 3rd at Cabourg in a 2750m mounted race on 7 December. Respected back in the harness category
J Niskanen

Improving last-start scorer who wasn't winning out of turn when opening her account over 2650m at Bordeaux on 17 December. Will fight for victory with further progress on the cards

Experienced 12-start maiden with sound references, albeit without a victory - seldom far off the mark on a going day. Unplaced (10th) over 2200m at Le Mans on 16 December - best watched for now

Complicated filly with undeniable means - disqualified in 7 of 8 appearances, including consecutive recent starts (the latest at Argentan on 26 December) but won her only completed outing at Caborug. Question of wisdom

Progressive filly with untapped potential, though boasts the form and experience to play a leading role. Opened her account with a last-start 3000m victory at Nantes on 16 December and should have even more to offer

Confirmed the promise of her debut 4th at Saint-Malo in August last year by winning her next start over 2400m at Chateaubriant on 8 September. Absent seen since but is respected/open to improvement on her reappearance

Race Overview
Despite her awkward starting position, improving last-start winner LARISKA (8) should continue her momentum by playing a leading role. LOVE ME DAXEL (15), whose limits are unknown, lightly raced LUBIE DE LOIRON (3) and the returning LOUVE DE CHANLECY (16) seem best equipped to challenge the selection for race honours. Ideally placed from the start, LILY BECO (4) isn't underestimated. LYMKA PRINCESSE (12) and LIZA D'HERIPRE (14) also deserve a mention.
Selection:
8 - 15 - 3
