Going superbly before losing her action in a 2300m Chateaubriant Class F early last month. Has had ample time to recalibrate, won her only start here, and from the front line must be respected

7th of 16 behind KARLESS DANICA (7) in a 2875m Meslay Class F on 16 March. Will be fit by now, has previously won here, starts in front and is not to be ignored

Surprise 2nd of 16 on comeback in a 2875m Meslay-du-Maine Class F on 16 March. Is not a priority but is still worth keeping an eye on

Ran 2nd of 18 to KATIA DE MUZE (17), on re-entry, in a 2875m Meslay-du-Maine Class F on 18 March. Unlikely to repeat but is well-entered and will not be available at 51/1 this time

Quality mare that ran 7th of 14 when preparing for this in a 2450m Caen Class E conditioner 2.5 weeks ago. Has won 3 of 4 when barefoot and has a respectable chance of adding to that tally

Out of sorts when pulled-up in a 2850m Laval Class E a fortnight ago. Just 340 Euros from elimination and Jean-Philippe Dubois will be eager to put the record straight. Place chance

Race Overview
The key to this race is on the back row and it is hard to ignore KATIA DE MUZE (17) who comfortably won at Meslay-du-Maine early last week. She will nevertheless be taking on KUNAMATATA (15) who debuts at the venue on a 3-timer, and the talented KALIPETTE JELOCA (13) who excels when barefoot. KENNEDY STREET (18) enjoys a fine entry at the limit of earnings, sports a new configuration, and if focused will be in a position to contest the finish.

17 - 15 - 13
