Unseen since winning a 2700m Class F at La Capelle on 11 November. Is twice a winner here and at this level looks a serious proposition

Useful sort that ran 8th of 15 on re-entry in a 2900m Amiens Class F 2 weeks ago. Boasts a fine record at Le Croise and from the 4-spot could well shake things up

Disappointing since running 2nd here mid-December, latterly 7th of 14 in a 2100m Vincennes Class E a fortnight back. Is well-positioned behind the car though and can start to redeem himself. First 5

Reconfigured after faulting in a 2100m Vincennes Class E a fortnight ago. Thrives here though and is thoroughly capable of imposing

Surprise 4th of 17 in a 2850m Mauquenchy Class E 11 days ago. Sports a revised formula, is just 680 Euros from elimination, and must be respected

2nd of 7 over 3100m at Victoria Park last weekend. Not once out of first 2 in 6 starts here and although handed an unattractive draw, he sports just hind shoes and is still worth retaining

Made up for Mauquenchy blip when 5th of 12 in a 2700m Cagnes Class F 2.5 weeks ago and will have a lot to contribute if Kristof Depuydt positions her early

Race Overview
A quality mare that has fumbled the ball just once here, IDREAMIS (7) starts relatively wide but has been reconfigured for the occasion and still looks marginally sharper than the returning, but better-placed, INSIDE MAN (3) who has solid references at the venue. Yet to disappoint here when applied, HELLA DE JANA (12) starts on the second row but still looks competitive for a step on the podium. Winner of her only Le Croise start, IRIS FARCEUSE (6) faces a less-exacting task than she has done all winter in Paris.
Selection:
7 - 3 - 12
