Has demonstrated decent aptitude for the code but will need to show improvement on recent 4th of 9 to JACARANDA (3) in a Class D over course and distance on 22 December

Has taken well to her new vocation, most recently close 2nd of 11 to JOY FOR US (4) in a 2700m Class D here on 21 December, and deserves to be taken seriously

Made it 3 in a row over track and trip when comfortable winner of a Class D on 22 December. Simply excels with Benjamin Rochard and will be expected to bring the fight to JOUR DE FETE (9)

Won 2 over track and trip before finishing last but one in a harness Class C course-and-distance conditioner on 1 January. Shod to preference this time and, with application, can finish in the mix

Drops marginally in category after running 2nd to a good horse in a 2850m Class B here on 8 December. Comes here fresh and can pick up a cheque

Somewhat reassuring 5th of 8 in a harness Class C over track and trip late last month, however a repeat seems unlikely

Last of 13 when being conditioned for this in a 2100m harness Class A here on New Year's Day. Showed his aptitude for the discipline last summer and a similar performance would see him confirm

7th of 8, on monte debut, in a 2850m Class D here on New Year's Day and has a lot more to find

Race Overview
Terrific winner here last August on his lone appearance under the saddle, JOUR DE FETE (9) is barefoot following a pair of conditioners, is reunited with Matilde Herleiksplass, and can expect significant support. JACARANDA (3), however, steps up in class after accumulating a trio of course-and-distance victories and will be expected to contest the finish. Well-regarded but a handful at the best of times, JOY FOR US (4) reassured with a determined victory here 3 weeks ago and can again figure prominently if Guillaume Martin keeps her focused.
Selection:
9 - 3 - 4
