3rd of 12, on French debut, in a 2875m Enghien monte Class D 2.5 weeks ago. Has other priorities and can be passed over

Twice showed his form before faulting early in a 2100m Class C here last Saturday. Is no priority but can still make his presence felt
Tord Olsson

Unraced since winning over 2100m in Vienna last August. Is not here unprepared though and has the class to defy the layoff and finish close

No longer the horse he once was, most recently last of 12 behind KIPHYLE DESBOIS (13) in a 2700m Class B here in late-February, and can be disregarded

Has not been seen out since being sanctioned in a 2700m Gr.2 here last June. Shoes fitted and not a concern

Last of 9, when preparing for this, over 2100m in Victoria Park last weekend. Tends to go well at Vincennes, and runs barefoot, but represents little more than a minor place chance
K De Poorter

Returns to Vincennes after imposing over a mile in Turin on 26 March. Is proven here but at this level will have his work cut out

7th of 16, a place behind KEYNOTE (14), in a 2850m Class B here on 22 March. Is as inclement as the wind though and even with Matthieu Abrivard at the helm still looks an outsider
Scuderia Sant' Eusebio Snc

2/h9-h0h8
Yet to make his mark since coming to France, most recently 8th of 16 behind KEYNOTE (14) in a 2850m Class B here on 22 March, and others easier to back

Trounced in 2 here recently, last time 11th of 16 behind KEYNOTE (14) in a 2850m Class B here on 22 March, and has no possible chance

Sanctioned when going well in a Class B under these conditions 3 weeks ago. Very hard to knock when focused and has already imposed over track and trip. Chance

Showed considerable improvement when 3rd of 14 in a 2700m Class B here on 28 February. Cannot be considered a leading contender this time but can still get in on the action

Consistently gives her best, as she showed when just pipped in a 2700m Class B here on 28 February. Appreciates 2850m over the main track and can get her nose in front this time
Ecurie Team Rochard

In the frame in 2 before running 6th of 16 in a 2850m Class B here on 22 March. Enjoys a good entry and is unlikely to be far off the mark
Ecurie Hunter Valley

3-h5h1h7h1
In excellent form this year winning 2 from 3, most recently a 2850m Laval Class D a fortnight ago, and looks thoroughly capable of confirming

Race Overview
Close to the limit of earnings, and winner of her last 2 starts with Eric Raffin in the bike, KIVALA RENARDIER (15) can expect the lion's share of support. KEVIN PRINCE (11) is no slouch when focused though and showed his form in a similar event recently despite losing his action. Solid for the most part since the turn of the year, KIPHYLE DESBOIS (13) missed out by the smallest of margins here last time out and will be competitive for the win. Five times a winner in six career starts, MONA LISA VENUS (3) has not been seen out since last August but she is competitively-shod, with Mathieu Mottier reining, and is not to be underestimated.
Selection:
15 - 11 - 13
