Kept back since qualifying in 1’19”1 here last June. Has been afforded ample time to come into herself and looks a player first time out
F Leblanc

Qualified in 1’18”1 here a month back. Anthony Barrier in charge straight away and has a realistic claim on the win
Mlle A Lemonnier

Finished last of 9 on debut in a 2275m Nantes Class F on 22 February and has no possible chance

Well-regarded filly that lost her action on debut in a 2700m Graignes Class F 2.5 weeks ago. Is undeniably a filly with promise and it is only a question of time before she proves the point

Unexceptional 7th of 11 finishers in a 2625m Cherbourg Class F 10 days ago. Matthieu Abrivard in the bike this time but others still preferred

Modest last of 7 in a 2825m Cordemais Class E late last month and can expect to remain friendless in the markets

4th of 8 on re-entry in a 2625m Class F at La Rochelle 10 days ago. Will have progressed for the run but in this company can expect to be found wanting
H Bossuet

Makes first appearance since faulting in a 2850m Vincennes Class D mid-November and is not about to set off any fireworks

Decent 4th of 13 in a 2275m Nantes Class F 3 weeks back. Should appreciate the new conditions and with the help of Paul Ploquin can trot her way in for a cheque
F Drans

Unseen since being sanctioned, when going well, in a 2050m Cabourg Class E on 24 October. Has had time to recalibrate, is plainly capable, and can figure prominently if she keeps trotting
Etienne Dubois

Has improved with every run, latterly 3rd of 12 in a 2700m Machecoul Class F 10 days ago. Eric Raffin in the bike this time and looks a leading contender
Ecurie Quick Star

5th of 9 finishers in a Class F over course and distance mid-January, but raced better that day than the result suggests and in similar shape can impose
Mme J Laroche

Ran 3rd on debut before coming a beaten 4th of 8 finishers in a 2850m Mauquenchy Class F a fortnight ago. Has ground to make up but still looks capable of making first 5
Pascal Gerard

Would have finished in the money had she not faulted in a 2225m Mauquenchy Class E 3 weeks ago. Not a leading concern but with application can get a look-in

Race Overview
MARQUISE DARLING (12) may have placed just once in 3 starts but she caught the eye here mid-February and Bertrand Le Beller will be hopeful of a maiden-breaking run. They will still encounter opposition from MIST NIGHT QUICK (11) who has progressed nicely this term, and racecourse debutante MUSICA JULMA (2) who, judging by her qualification, can get straight down to business. MENEUSE DE HOUELLE (1) also takes her first competitive steps and, if as good as believed, is unlikely to be far off the mark.
Selection:
12 - 11 - 2
