Put a trio of sanctions behind her when 4th of 14 in a 2700m Class B here late last month. Not a priority but still worth retaining for a minor place cheque

5th of 15 in a 2850m monte Class B here mid-month. Here for a change of scenery and can be passed over

Won a Class A over course and distance before running 6th of 9 behind JOCONDE SIBEY (5) in 2700m Gr.3 Prix Michel Marcel Gougeon here last weekend. Handed an excellent draw and Theo Duvaldestin will be eager to make hay

Made amends for GNT Final sanction when 2nd of 16 in valuable Cagnes Gr.3 over 2925m 2.5 weeks ago. Handed the 4-spot and with form maintained could pleasantly surprise

In the frame in 3 of last 4, latterly 3rd of 9 in a 2700m Gr.3 here a week ago. Well-placed on front line and can bring the fight to the visitors

6th in GNT Final before leaving a good impression when 3rd of 10 in a 2850m Class A here a month back. JMB maintains faith and from the front row must be taken seriously

Solid in last 3, most recently 3rd of 12 in a 2850m Class D here 3 weeks ago. Simply excels with Eric Raffin and is not one to be underestimated
J Seche

Quality Scandinavian mare and compatriot of the race's namesake, most recently 2nd of 11 in a valuable Silverdivision race at Farjestad 3 weeks ago. Breaks wide here but has good speed and will have her chances if she takes to the new profile

Won 5 from 6 in Sweden before coming 3rd of 14 in a Class A over track and trip early this month. Will have come on for the run and, poorly-drawn or not, still looks the one to beat

Pleases for the most part but sanctioned in a 2850m Class E here 2 weeks ago and appears to have little working for her this time

Takes a leap in category after running 5th of 13 in a Class D under these conditions a month ago and can be confidently disregarded

Makes Vincennes debut after running 3rd of 9 in a valuable mares race over a mile in Naples on 22 December. Starts on 2nd line here and in this company may well be found wanting

Won a Cagnes Class C before running 4th of 15 in a 2925m Class D at same venue 2.5 weeks ago. Has previously imposed under these conditions but is biting off more than she can chew this time

Race Overview
DEA SPRINT BAR (9) hardly put a foot out of line in all of 2024, has solid references here, and her recent Vincennes comeback augurs well for her chances. Alessandro Gocciadoro can nevertheless expect to come under pressure from fellow visitor BETTING PACER (8) who debuts at Vincennes on her first trip outside of the nordics. Neither has won the draw-lottery but they still represent the best chances here. Better-positioned behind the car, JOCONDE SIBEY (5) gave a reassuring account in the Gr.3 Prix Michel Marcel Gougeon and can again make the frame, as can JEEGHA PRIDE (3) if she replicates her penultimate performance.
Selection:
9 - 8 - 5
