Imposed at Mauquenchy last month before coming 5th of 12 in a 2825m Class E at Le Croise-Laroche 10 days ago. Finds better conditions here and the engagement of Mathieu Mottier will only work to her advantage. Claim

Surprise 3rd of 8 finishers, on re-entry, in a Class F over course and distance 10 days ago. Will have come on for the run and, if behaved, can play an important role

Returns to the discipline after being sanctioned in a 2700m Vincennes harness Class E on 16 February. Breaks from the front and will not be far from the action if he keeps his stride together

Back under the saddle after running 8th of 18 in a 2675m harness Class F at Le Mont-Saint-Michel last Sunday. Has never excelled at Caen and is unlikely to set off any fireworks

Race Overview
Advantage to front-line runners here, in particular IMAGE DE RABET (2) who will not have to take on younger horses and who has every chance of making her Caen debut a winning one. Mathieu Mottier will still be keeping a watchful eye on the tricky but handy INDIGODARCHE (5) who backs up just a few days after imposing at Bihorel, and a reconfigured IDEAL D'URZY (8) who enjoys a good entry on the first row. GARD (12) has demonstrated decent aptitude for the discipline and even though shod from the second line, still looks competitively well-in.
Selection:
2 - 5 - 8
