Unraced since finishing last but one in a 2175m Class D here on 5 December and will have nothing to contribute

Decent 4th of 5 here before faulting at the start of a 2275m Nantes Class F a fortnight ago. Is never far from losing his action but will be expected to play an active role if his driver keeps him focused

2nd of 5 finishers, on debut, in a 2875m Argentan Class F on 11 January. Will have progressed for the run but may just be taking on too much this time

Moderate 3rd of 5 finishers behind MAESTRO BILOU (6) in a 2850m Mauquenchy Class E 2.5 weeks ago. Should take well to this even profile and will be no soft touch

Put a trio of sanctions behind him when 2nd of 7 in a 2050m Lyon-La Soie Class F 12 days ago. Mathieu Mottier at the helm this time but chances still seem limited

Promising colt that was beaten only by a very good horse in a 2850m Mauquenchy Class E 2.5 weeks ago. In better company this time but looks a well-balanced colt and should not be ruled out. First 5

Tenacious 2nd of 9 in a 2175m Class D here 2 weeks ago. Has a lot more to give but whether he can beat MADE IN MARETTES (12) again remains to be seen

Somewhat uneasy 4th of 9 behind MOUSTIK LA GOVELLE (7) in a 2175m Class D here 2 weeks ago. By no means the worst horse here but still needs to find more

Lost his maiden tag at Graignes in December but quickly sanctioned 3 weeks ago here in a 2100m Class C over the inner track. Is a decent colt in the making and will not be far off the mark if Francois Lagadeuc assures his initial strides

Got off the mark at Cabourg in December prior to being sanctioned in a 2100m Class C over the inner track here 3 weeks ago. Not devoid of ability but others still easier to trust

2nd of 11 in a 2100m Lyon-Parilly Class B on 14 December. In better company this time but will still have his supporters

Quality colt taking first steps over inner track after coming 3rd of 9 behind MOUSTIK LA GOVELLE (7) in a 2175m Class D here 2 weeks ago. Has bags of potential and looks set to open his metropolitan account

Race Overview
Very hard to knock since his triumphant first steps on the track, the well-engaged MADE IN MARETTES (12) made a fine Vincennes debut, missing out to MOUSTIK LA GOVELLE (7). He will have come on for the run and under these new conditions should be in a position to turn the tables. MOVING QUICK (2) left a good impression over the short track earlier in the month and Benjamin Rochard will be eager to put his Nantes sanction behind him. MISTER ROYAL (4) has shown significant promise and her chances will only be enhanced with the champion driver in the bike.
Selection:
12 - 7 - 2
