Good, consistent servant that ran 3rd of 15, a place behind KEEP ON ROLLING (15), in a 2175m Class D here mid-December but may just be biting off more than she can chew this time

Fine mare that won a Class E over 2700m here before running 4th in a Class D under similar conditions on Christmas Day. Is as consistent as they come and unlikely to let the side down. First 5

Steps up in category after winning a Class E over course and distance on 18 December but in this company will struggle to make her mark

Failed to confirm good Bordeaux run when last but one behind KALINE DE FAEL (7) in a 2100m Class D here on 14 January, and can be passed over

Second only to a very good horse in a Class C over course and distance on 6 January. Hails from a very good family and should be capable of challenging for a place on the podium

Reliability not her strong suit but ran a reassuring 5th behind KALINE DE FAEL (7) in a 2100m Class D here 11 days ago and will be expected to finish thereabouts

Has come into herself this term, most recently running 3rd of 11 finishers in a 2100m Class D here mid-month. Is barefoot again and can impose

Made up for early-December sanction when 4th of 11 finishers, a place behind KALINE DE FAEL (7), in a 2100m Class D here mid-month, but a repeat seems most improbable

Disappointing in last 2, most recently 7th in 31 December race of reference, and is unlikely to spring any surprises

Has not been seen out since running 2nd of 16 in a Class C under these conditions last October. Shod to preference but may be race-rusty

Went into her break last September after securing the hat-trick. Shod for re-entry though and best to hold off

Left a good impression when 8th of 10 finishers in a Class C conditioner over course and distance early this month and will be competitive if Julien Dubois keeps her focused

Honest mare that ran 4th of 12 finishers in a Class C over track and trip late last month. Enjoys a good entry and although unlikely to impose, can still pick up some prizemoney

5th of 12 finishers, a place behind KEEP ON ROLLING (15), in a Class C over track and trip late last month. Gives a good account for the most part over 2700m here and, well-engaged, should not be overlooked

Race Overview
Something of a late developer, KALINE DE FAEL (7) has been firing on all cylinders recently, has taken superbly to main track conditions, and over this longer distance can open her 2025 account. The delicate KELLY JANE (14) has form over course and distance and racing barefoot for the occasion looks the principal danger. With a race under her belt, and unbeaten in this configuration, KETY DU GOUTIER (12) will be no soft touch. KEY OF LOVE (5) put on a good show under these conditions earlier in the month and looks capable of making the frame once more.
Selection:
7 - 14 - 12
