Scored, for just the second time, in a 2875m Argentan Class D on 28 March. Is confirmed at this level but still appears to have her work cut out

7th of 8 finishers in a 2850m Vincennes Class C when preparing for this a week ago, and already looks out of her depth

7th of 8, to JUS DE FRUIT (4), in a 2700m Class C here 10 days ago and will struggle to make her presence felt

Winner of a 2700m Vincennes Class C 10 days ago. Steps back up in class but is plainly at his best and is not incapable of making the frame

Runner-up in a 2700m Gr.2 before trotting 4th, with shoes on, a place behind JULIANA DE RETZ (8), in a 2700m Class A here a fortnight ago. Shod to preference this time and can give JANE AIMEE (6) something to think about

2nd in a 2850m Lyon-Parilly harness Class D when prepping for this on 2 April. Is first-time barefoot and, with Raffin in the irons, should have the race at her mercy

Produced her career-best effort when 4th in a 2175m Gr.2 late-January. Has not been seen out since but is barefoot for comeback and should not be ruled out

In the frame in last 2, most recently 3rd in a 2700m Class A here on 12 April, and while not a priority, should nonetheless acquit herself honourably

Faulted in a 2875m Enghien harness Class A, when clearly full of running, last weekend. Has never finished a monte event unscathed but Jean-Philippe Raffegeau does not present him here for folly. Attention

Last of 11 when prepping for this in a 2700m harness Gr.2 here 2 weeks ago. Has nothing to prove at this level and, competitively-shod this time, will be no soft touch

Race Overview
After a brace of harness fresheners, JANE AIMEE (6) makes her first appearance under the saddle since trotting 3rd in Gr.1 Prix des Elites and, barefoot and entrusted to Eric Raffin for the first time, should be able to wrap this up. She will still meet resistance from JEROBOAM D'ERABLE (5) who is shod as he was when 2nd in Gr.2 Prix Paul Bastard, and the favourite's stablemate and Gr.1-winning, JESSY DE BANVILLE (10) who is shod to preference for her first goal of the new season. After coming 3rd in Paul Bastard, JUS DE FRUIT (4) convincingly won a A Class C over 2700m here next time and should logically figure prominently.
Selection:
6 - 5 - 10
