Flattering 5th of 15 behind JOADIE WIND (5) in a Class E over track and trip mid-January and can be ruled out

Won over the inner track before running 5th of 15 in an incident-filled Class E over course and distance last week. Unlucky on that occasion and JMB will be eager to set the record straight. Claim

Takes a significant step up in category after running 2nd of 16, at 39/1, in a Class F over course and distance 2 weeks ago, but a repeat seems decidedly unlikely

Serious mare making first start since faulting in a 2875m Enghien Class D last October. Is barefoot with Gabi Gelormini reining though and should not be ruled out

Beat DAFNE DI POGGIO (2) mid-January before being sanctioned in a 2100m Class D here 2.5 weeks ago. Form is not in question though and on good behaviour can play a prominent role
Ecurie Haras Des Quatre Vents

3rd of 11 to DAFNE DI POGGIO (2) in a 2850m Class D over inner course on 21 January. Won her only start over the main course and must be considered a serious proposition

Not as sharp this term as she was last season, latterly 8th of 15 behind JAMAICA DE LOU (14) in a 2100m Class D here 2.5 weeks ago, and will need to raise her game
Ecurie Christian Bigeon

Made up for re-entry sanction when 4th of 11 to DAFNE DI POGGIO (2) in a 2850m Class D over inner course on 21 January. Is on the way back up and must not be underestimated

Last of 13 in 9 February race of reference, on return to competition. Capable when focused but would be preferred a level down
Mme Mauricette De Sousa

3h1-h5h5h3
3rd of 15 in a 2850m Laval Class E mid-month. Has hardly put a foot wrong this term, is in her category, and will justifiably garner support
B Carpentier

Useful mare making first appearance since being sanctioned in a 2875m Enghien Class D 4 months ago. Hind shoes off but no fireworks anticipated
Ecurie A B Racing

10th of 15 in a 2100m Class D conditioner here on 9 February. Should be fully-fit by now and looks thoroughly capable of contesting the finish
Ecurie Sang Et Or

1h7h2h5h7h0
Has not been seen out since finishing last of 13 in a Class D over course and distance last November. Capable on a good day but has no love for 2700m here and chances limited
Ecurie Alain Laurent

Courageous 6th of 15 in a 2100m Class D here on 9 February but, in this company, will struggle to confirm
Ch Germain

Sanctioned in 2 after winning at Chateaubriant, latterly when going well in a 2850m Mauquenchy Class E a month ago. Enjoys a good entry though and will not be far from the action if she stays in stride

Race Overview
Already a Vincennes winner since moving to the Bazire stable, DAFNE DI POGGIO (2) has already won at this level here and with victory will extend her win-rate to an even 50 per cent. That said, JOY DU CARNOIS (12) has 2 runs in her since the break, is competitively shod for the first time, and can put up significant resistance. Yet to disappoint when barefoot, DIVA STARLIGHT (6) ran 3rd to JMB's charge here last month and should prove no easy touch, and neither should the reconfigured JOADIE WIND (5) provided she keeps her action together.
Selection:
2 - 12 - 6
