Steps up in category after being sanctioned in a Class D under these conditions a month back and appears to be biting off more than she can chew

Makes just 2nd start in the discipline after dead-heating in a harness Class C over course and distance on New Year's Day. Takes on a better lot this time but reverts to a previous formula and can still hold her own

Unraced since faulting in a 2700m Class C here on 1 December and even though reconfigured has no possible chance

Won 2 in a row before finishing last of 12 behind FLUO MESLOIS (9) in a 2700m Gr.3 here on 28 December. Reunited with Paul Ploquin, with whom she excels, and must be afforded respect

Encouraged here on 28 December before being sanctioned in a harness Class D over course and distance last week and returns to the ridden code with modest ambition

Faces first objective of the winter after running 9th of 11 behind HERE WE GO (14) in a 2700m harness conditioner here a fortnight ago, and is unlikely to trouble the judge

Honourable 3rd of 11 in a harness Class D under these conditions last week. Pleased on lone monte appearance and with Guillaume Martin aboard will be afforded every chance

Ran 3rd over 2175m prior to finishing last of 6 behind HANNAH (11) in a 2700m Class B here 9 days ago. Not a priority but has merit and should not be overlooked

Drops back in category after coming 6th of 12 in a 2700m Gr.3 here 2.5 weeks ago and if still on the boil can figure more prominently

3rd of 6 finishers, a place behind HANNAH (11), in a 2700m Class B here 9 days ago. Unlikely to spring a surprise but still has the wherewithal to pick up a cheque

In the frame in 3 of last 4, most recently 2nd of 6 finishers in a 2700m Class B here on 6 January. Deserves to be rewarded with success one of these days and represents principal danger to HERE WE GO (14)

Decent 4th over track and trip before faulting in a 2700m harness Class B here on 31 December. Clemence Thuet in the saddle and will have claims on a place in the frame

Disappointing in last 2, most recently 12th of 14 in a 2925m Cagnes harness Class B late-December. Eric Raffin onboard for monte debut but others still preferred

Takes first competitive ridden steps after finishing 6th of 11 in a 2700m harness Class B here late last month. Has a lot going for him here and will be expected to dominate

Enjoys a decent entry but has been off the boil lately, latterly 10th of 11 in a 2925m Cagnes harness Gr.3 on 21 December, and can be passed over

Race Overview
A quality element under harness, HERE WE GO (14) takes to the monte code for the first time, sports a new configuration for the occasion, and with Mathieu Mottier in the irons can get straight down to business. Opposition will take the form of HANNAH (11) who is plainly close to her race, and the reconfigured HARRY CARISAIE (12) who has shown significant monte potential. GREZ (7) may not have been seen under the saddle since last May but his form is sure and has a realistic chance of making the frame.
Selection:
14 - 11 - 12
