Has won 4 from 7 to date, most recently securing a 2700m Class D here 2 weeks ago. Unlikely to repeat but should nevertheless hold his own

Unlucky here in December but made amends when comfortably winning a 2925m Cagnes Class B 10 days ago. Handed a good spot behind the car and can play an active role

Came 2nd of 7 finishers, on re-entry, in a 2700m Class C here on 29 December. Will have come on for the run and should once again prove competitive for victory

Won over 2175m before coming a disappointing 3rd of 5 finishers, a place behind LOTUS GRIFF (4), in a 2175m Class B here 9 days ago. Has talent to burn though and can give LAST MAN (6) a run for his money

Has climbed the category-ladder in good order, most recently dominating a 2700m Class D here on 27 December. Hind shoes off this time but is pitted against better and the draw will do him no favours

Close 2nd of 7 finishers in a Class D over course and distance 3 weeks ago. Steps up in category but Raffin is back in the bike and must be afforded considerable respect

Sanctioned when being prepared for this in a 2700m Class C here late last month. Already boasts a fine win-rate and is not incapable of extending it further

Race Overview
Not once out of the first 2 when sporting pads, and beaten only by a very good horse last time, LAST MAN (6) starts in front, races barefoot for the occasion, and can make this his own. It will be no easy task though given how well the freshly-reconfigured LUTIN JABA (7) has been acquitting himself here this winter. A quality trotter, LE SAP (12) is forced to break from the second line but will be fit by now and competitively-shod. Also sporting a new formula, LORENZO DE CHENU (11) missed out by little here late last month and, despite the draw, Eric Raffin will be minded to set the record straight.
Selection:
6 - 7 - 12
