Sanctioned in both since the break, latterly a 2700m Class D here last Tuesday. Front shoes off this time but others still easier to trust

4th of 7 behind LOLA DAIRPET (9) in a Class B over course and distance late last month. Goes up against the colts this time but races barefoot and should be able to hold her own

Sanctioned when unsupported in a 2700m Class C here 2 weeks ago. Not the same horse he was last spring and even though reconfigured, still seems to have his work cut out

Unexceptional 4th of 5 finishers behind LABEL DE LARRE (14) in a Class C over 2700m here a fortnight ago and will struggle to make his presence felt

Beautifully-related colt that has found his feet under the saddle, most recently dominating a 2200m Class D here 2.5 weeks ago, and Eric Raffin will be determined to secure the 3-timer

Sanctioned, on monte debut late last month, in a 2175m Class B here. Has shown the limits of her capacity though and, front shoes off or not, her chances seem slim

Pleasant 5th of 7 behind LOLA DAIRPET (9) in a 2175m Class B here late last month. Is unlikely to shake things up but going barefoot will do her prospects no disservice

Well-beaten 6th of 7 behind LOLA DAIRPET (9) in a 2175m Class B here late last month. Has already triumphed under these conditions but even racing barefoot still faces a tough test

3rd of 7 finishers in a 2175m Class B here on 27 December. Sports a new configuration for the occasion but is a minor place chance at best this time

Has taken well to his new vocation, latterly runner-up to LE BEST MADRIK (13) in a 2700m Class D here on 20 December, but with shoes off this time, looks the pick of the bunch
Ecurie Daidou

Scored a 2nd straight when securing a 2200m Class D here on 6 January. Flopped on lone start over the main track but stays barefoot and will be no pushover

Has been knocking at the door all winter, latterly 3rd behind LABEL DE LARRE (14) in a Class C over 2700m here a fortnight ago. Is not far from opening his account and the new configuration may be just the ticket
Mme Claire Lacroix

Made it 2 in a row when securing a 2700m Class D here on 20 December, beating LITTLE DAIDOU (10) in the process, and is not incapable of confirming
Ecurie Simplice

Stayed on well to run 2nd of 5 finishers in a Class C over 2700m here a fortnight ago. Ran 2nd last time under these conditions and is unlikely to disappoint
Ecurie La Petteviniere
Race Overview
Although seldom far from faulting, LITTLE DAIDOU (10) has nevertheless shown significant ability in both codes and, racing first-time barefoot, has a realistic chance of turning the tables on the hat-trick seeking, and reconfigured, LE BEST MADRIK (13) who had his measure here last month. LOVE'S SECRET (5), however, has been simply superb since being associated with Eric Raffin and looks the principal danger to Mathieu Mottier's mount. Enjoying a good entry close to the limit of earnings, LABEL DE LARRE (14) has been knocking at the door this winter and his recent Class C performance bodes well for his chances.
