Failed to replicate re-entry success when 9th of 11 behind KUNZITE D'EM (9) in a 2150m Enghien Class E 2.5 weeks ago. In similar company this time but should not be entirely ruled out

3rd of 10 behind KYRA D'ESSARTS (5) in a 2725m Graignes Class E on 16 March. Has hardly put a foot wrong recently and is unlikely to go home empty-handed

Returns to harness code after finishing last but one in a 2450m Caen monte Class E a month ago. Barefoot this time but still not a concern

Serious mare making first start since running 2nd of 13 in a 2700m Class E here mid-January. Is clearly in competition-mode though and can bring the fight to KELLISIA GIRL (12)

Clear 2nd of 10 on comeback in a 2725m Graignes Class E on 16 March. Placed in one of 2 over main track here and should be good enough to finish close again

Pleasant 5th of 11 behind KUNZITE D'EM (9) in a 2150m Enghien Class E 2.5 weeks ago. Appears to be back on the right road and will be barefoot this time

5th in both starts after having won over track and trip late-January, most recently 2650m Laval Class E on 6 March. Barefoot for just 2nd Vincennes appearance and will be no pushover

Pulled-up in a 2850m Mauquenchy Class E on 17 March. Appears to be out of sorts and others easier to trust

Left a good impression when 3rd of 11 in a 2150m Enghien Class E 2.5 weeks ago. Goes barefoot again but a repeat seems highly unlikely

7th of 11, on return to competition, in a 2400m Amiens Class E on 5 March. Has limited Vincennes experience but with hind shoes off can play a small part

Easy winner of a 2850m Feurs Class F on 23 March, her first start for 2 months. Takes on a tougher lot this time but with form maintained, will not be far from the action

Comfortable winner of a 2100m Class E here on 18 February. Hard to knock when barefoot and focused and Eric Raffin will be eyeing the double

Race Overview
Just 100 Euros from elimination and winner of her last start at the venue, KELLISIA GIRL (12) has won her last 3 when reined by Eric Raffin, and extending that to 4 wins is well within her capacity. KOREA (4) however has taken particularly well to Vincennes conditions and although unseen for 3 months, she races barefoot for the occasion and poses the main danger. Somewhat less-performant in her last 2 since winning over course and distance, KELLY CHARLY ERA (7) returns to racing barefoot and should be competitive for a place in the frame. KYRA D'ESSARTS (5) will have come on for her encouraging return run and should take well to this shorter trip.
