French Selections Friday 14th

R1 VINCENNES [L-H]

C1 – PRIX CAMPANUS – 2700m (a1m1/2) – Class D – Harness – EUR € 46,000

KITKO DAIRPET – Has failed so far this year to replicate his 2024 form and in current condition already looks outclassed
KING FROMENTRO – Showed improvement when 3rd of 15 in a 2850m Class D here 3.5 weeks ago. Eliminated in 2 of 3 under these conditions though and represents no more than a minor place chance
KRUGER DU NORD – Starts for the first time since running 3rd in a 2850m Class D here on 5 September. Is shod to preference for comeback but may just be a race shy
KOCKTAIL WOOD – Last of 13, on return to competition 2 weeks ago, in a Class C over track and trip. Stays shod and can be ruled out
KELMEC – Got back in the game at Chartres early this month but still has a lot more to find
KASH QUICK – Progressive individual making first appearance since July. Stays shod for the occasion though and best to hold off
KIMI DU DOME – Has thrived this year and is clearly in top condition. Moves up in category and while unlikely to pull off the hat-trick, can nevertheless challenge for a place in first 5
KASH DES RIOULTS – Useful element that finished ahead of KRACK DESBOIS (14) at Caen on 19 October. Eric Raffin in the bike this time but others still preferred
KING D’HERMES – Has taken his game to another level since moving yards earlier in the year. Won his last 4 barefoot starts, has a race under his belt since the break, and even though in better company this time, can still play an active role
KENNEDY FRANCE – Decent, versatile sort that finished last of 17 on re-entry at Caen last month and is going to need another outing
KING LOOK – Has won 3 of 4 when barefoot, latterly a 2100m Class E with ease here on 12 September. Is still fresh after just 13 starts and looks main threat to KIFF L’OSEILLE (15)
KNOCK OUT – Drops back to a more reasonable level after being well-beaten in a Class C over course and distance a fortnight ago. Is not a priority but cannot be ruled out either
KAPLA DEVOL – Ran 4th in a Class D over 2850m here in late-September. Has not always delivered at Vincennes but with form maintained is unlikely to be far off the mark
KRACK DESBOIS – Imposed at Meslay-du-Maine in September before finishing 5th behind KASH DES RIOULTS (8) in a Caen Class D on 19 October. Mathieu Mottier in the bike again and is unlikely to let the side down
KIFF L’OSEILLE – Dynamic individual that has never been beaten when barefoot and applied. Set his personal best time 8 days ago under these conditions, enjoys a superb entry, and is eminently capable of confirming
KAID MARTIN – Useful sort that came into his own here last season. Left a favourable impression in a Challans Class D on re-entry and will have progressed for the race. Place chance
Summary: The exceptional KIFF L’OSEILLE (15) did not miss the mark on his first objective of the winter meeting, and neither did stablemate KING LOOK (11). Both have earned the right to step up in category and there looks to be little between them. Impressive on comeback a month ago, the nicely-entered KAID MARTIN (16) runs barefoot this time and has the wherewithal to finish in the mix, as does KAPLA DEVOL (13) who held his own in good company last time out.
SELECTIONS
KIFF L’OSEILLE (15) – KING LOOK (11) – KAID MARTIN (16) – KAPLA DEVOL (13)
C2 – PRIX FONTENAYTHON 94 – 2700m (a1m1/2) – Class E Amateur Riders – Mounted – EUR € 37,000
JAGUAR DU RIB – Held off JACANA DE BLARY (7) to win at Cabourg before running 4th in a 2875m Argentan Class F 12 days ago. Boasts solid references in the day’s configuration and must not be overlooked
JAFF DE MESLAY – Well-beaten behind JACANA DE BLARY (7) on comeback across town on 18 October. Has done little of note for some time and will have few friends
JULIENAS DE VRIE – Given an easy comeback run under harness at Chartres earlier in the month. Won twice here last season, including over 2700m, and with application can confirm
JINGLE PACA – Non-Runner
JET COMMANDERIE – Has won 2 of 3 monte starts, latterly a Class F on the Alencon turf on 19 October. Pitted against better this time but still looks competitively well in
JINGLE DES BROUETS – Had shown signs of encouragement before failing to deliver in Toulouse 2 weeks ago and can be passed over
JACANA DE BLARY – Encouraged at Enghien last month before losing her action at Le Mont-Saint-Michel recently. Form is not in question though and on better behaviour can get in on the action
JIPEBE – Has ample ability but has been disappointing in both codes recently and needs to get his house in order
JOLVIK DE GUEZ – Has a pair of fresheners in him after 8 months off the track. Takes to the monte code for first time and looks thoroughly capable of winning a race of this nature
JOYAU DE MORTREE – Eliminated on re-entry under harness at Nantes earlier in the month. Ran 2nd under these conditions last winter and can finish close provided Mehdi Lelièvre keeps his charge’s mind on the job
JAZZ SESSION – Useful mare returning to a code she appreciates after a trio of harness conditioners. Seen just the once at Vincennes but is worth keeping an eye on all the same
JOSY EXPRESS – Unremarkable mare that has raced just the once in this code. Has been out of sorts lately and others easier to back
JOTT DU BOCAGE – Excellent during the summer but below-par in last 2. Seldom loses his action though and could pleasantly surprise at the business end of the race
JADE VENESI – Gave a better account of herself at Machecoul early this month, on just 2nd monte start. Is gradually learning her new trade and can play a part
JUNE DE RODREY – Could not have asked for a better entry but has been off the boil over recent months and in this company has nothing to offer
Summary: Undeniably talented but never far from faulting, JULIENAS DE VRIE (3) has one race under his belt after a 14 months’ absence, is barefoot for the occasion, and can win this if Agathe Poulain keeps him focused. He will still be up against the hardy JOLVIK DE GUEZ (9) who will be competitively-shod for his monte bow, and JET COMMANDERIE (5) who has taken superbly to the new discipline. Reliability may not be his strong suit but JOYAU DE MORTREE (10) is no slouch when applied and, shod to preference this time, can play a prominent part.
SELECTIONS
JULIENAS DE VRIE (3) – JOLVIK DE GUEZ (9) – JET COMMANDERIE (5) – JOYAU DE MORTREE (10)
C3 – PRIX CROIX ROUGE FRANCAISE FONTENAY – 2100m (a1m1/4) – Class D – Harness – EUR € 40,000
LOVER SIXTY ONE – Returns to 2100m after coming 6th behind LEXCELLENT DU METZ (4) in a 2700m Class D here late last month, but others still easier to recommend
L’INTOUCHABLE – Excellent in 2024 but a shadow of his former self this term and will have nothing to contribute
LEGOLAS – Sent for a break in early-August when completing the hat-trick at Enghien. Is competitively-shod for comeback and although unlikely to pull off the 4-timer, can nonetheless finish in the mix
LEXCELLENT DU METZ – Beat a number of these when 4th of 11 finishers in a 2700m Class D here late last month. Benefits from a fine entry and Alexandre Abrivard will be eager to make hay
LANSKY VALLEE – Encouraged over course and distance in September before losing his action at Caen on 19 October. Would be preferred barefoot but is not incapable of getting a look in
LORD DE BANVILLE – 7th in 30 October race of reference. Has failed to make the frame in last 6 outings and is not about to start now
LE POETE BOURBON – Unremarkable colt that seldom makes his presence felt. Has done nothing of note here for some time and can be passed over
LE RETOUR VRIE – Gives a good account for the most part but eliminated in 2 of last 3. Left a good impression here nonetheless last time out, sports modified shoeing, and can figure prominently if Leo Abrivard keeps him trotting
LORENZO BERRY – Finished last of 11 behind LEXCELLENT DU METZ (4) in a 2700m Class D here late last month. Is significantly better than that and will be expected to redeem himself and finish in the mix
LUCIFER DU PONT – Made up for a pair of eliminations when 3rd of 14 in a Chartres Class E 11 days ago. Hind shoes off this time but still has more to find
LOTHBROCK – Serious sort that is not easy to fault when applied. Will have come on for his Chartres return run and should not be written off
LOVER JULMA – Made up for September elimination when 2nd of 18 in a 2750m Class B at Les Sables-d’Olonne on 20 October. Eric Raffin back in the bike and can challenge for a place on the podium
LORD TURGOT – Quickly eliminated here a month back prior to his freshener a fortnight later. Presents solid barefoot credentials and despite the draw can expect the lion’s share of support
LOBBY MESLOIS – Pleasant 5th of 16 when being conditioned in a 2850m Laval Class B early this month. Hard to knock when barefoot and focused, and will be competitive for the win
Summary: LORD TURGOT (13) is a complicated individual but has bags of talent, returns to racing barefoot after a 2700m conditioner here, and on good behaviour will be the horse to beat. LOBBY MESLOIS (14) showed serious aptitude last winter when barefoot, will be fit by now, and should logically put up considerable resistance. Not always the most reliable of horses, LOVER JULMA (12) gave a reassuringly good account last time out and returns to Vincennes with a good hand to play. A quality element with a brace of return races in him, LORENZO BERRY (9) should not be too hastily condemned for his latest run.
SELECTIONS
LORD TURGOT (13) – LOBBY MESLOIS (14) – LOVER JULMA (12) – LORENZO BERRY (9)
C4 – PRIX DE LA VILLE DE FONTENAY SOUS BOIS – 2100m (a1m1/4) – Class C – Harness – EUR € 53,000
JIPET DE CREPIN – Fine type from a good yard with 2 runs in him since the summer break. Starts on the inside and has no 2100m references, but has nothing to prove in this category and will have his supporters
JINGLE LOVER – Unable to confirm Nantes effort when uneasy of stride over 2850m here 10 days ago. Enjoys good speed and from the 2-spot can get in on the action
DIABEL – Sent for a break mid-June after imposing at Enghien. Picked up in 1’10″6 on comeback when dominating a Class B over course and distance, and is ideally-placed to make a big splash
JACKMAN – 8th behind JINGLE LOVER (2) over 2850m here 10 days ago. Always gives his best but has never produced the goods over 2100m here and is not about to start now
JOOST D’OLERON – Not the most fortunate on re-entry here 2.5 weeks ago. Has references at this level but looks to need another outing
HUMANITY PELLINI – Sprang a 33-1 surprise when 2nd only to a very good horse under these conditions late last month and will not be easy to oppose
JOUVENCE DE CAREL – Forced to endure traffic problems when 9th to HUMANITY PELLINI (6) over course and distance 2.5 weeks ago. Is not devoid of talent but recent numbers do little to inspire confidence
JAVANAIS DELO – Has not been seen out since August at Cagnes-sur-Mer. Obviously here for reasons of conditioning and can be ruled out
DAYAK (ITY) – In the frame in first 2 starts since the layoff before running 5th to HUMANITY PELLINI (6) here late last month. Not ideally-drawn but form is not in question and has a realistic chance of making first five
KAXIG IN – Has yet to deliver here but held his own in both recent Vincennes starts. Pleasantly surprised in race of reference but a repeat seems most improbable
HOLGER DANSKE – Fine Scandinavian sort with an enviable strike-rate. Faces a tough test first time here but has a lot going for him and despite the 2nd row draw should not be underestimated
DEMIDOFF CLA – Well-beaten under these conditions in August before making no impact at Reims on 19 October, and is not about to shake things up
MAHARINA SUN – Did not enjoy the best of trips when 5th behind DIVA DEL RONCO (14) under these conditions on 10 October. Has been afforded time to get back to her best and the Alexandre Abrivard-factor cannot be ignored
DIVA DEL RONCO – Last of 15 in 28 October race of reference. Barefoot as she was when placing here earlier that month, but in this company will have her work cut out
SANDOKAN (SWE) – Serious Swedish raider that failed to deliver on sole Vincennes appearance. Has been handed a tough draw but has otherwise been enjoying a productive run of form for the most part and deserves to be retained
JOUVENCE SECRETE – Moderate mare starting for first time since late-August. Has nothing to offer when shod in this company
Summary: Most impressive 2nd in a Class C under these conditions 2.5 weeks ago, HUMANITY PELLINI (6) can boast a fine Vincennes record and is ideally-placed to get his nose in front this time. Mathieu Mottier will still be mindful of the classy Italian DIABEL (3) who has won 2 of 4 starts with Eric Raffin, and fine Danish raider HOLGER DANSKE (11) who will be competitively-shod and entrusted to Franck Nivard for his French debut. MAHARINA SUN (13) has applied her Scandinavian form here lately and Alexandre Abrivard gets the nod this time. Reliability may not be his default setting but JINGLE LOVER (2) has decent references over course and distance and must be respected.
SELECTIONS
HUMANITY PELLINI (6) – DIABEL (3) – HOLGER DANSKE (11) – MAHARINA SUN (13)
C5 – PRIX UNION SPORTIVE DE FONTENAY – 2100m (a1m1/4) – Class D – Harness – EUR € 40,000
LILI DRY – Made up for early-October blip when 4th of 12 finishers in a 2700m Class B a fortnight ago, goes barefoot for the first time, and will not be available at 35-1 on this occasion
LUTELLIA MONNERIE – Was not the luckiest when faulting here 2 weeks ago. Is plainly in fine shape and Guillaume Martin will be keen to take advantage of the draw. Place prospect
LADY POP – Comfortably won a Class D over 2175m here on 21 October. Won over course and distance in the spring, goes well for Eric Raffin, and is unlikely to disappoint
LOVELY JENILOU – Reassured at Caen but blew up in a 2700m Class D here late last month and is not about to influence the result
LEMONADE FIZZ – Was clearly defying her odds before being eliminated in race of reference. Handed a good draw and can give this a good go if kept out of harm’s way
LYANA D’ARC – Ran 6th behind LILI DRY (1) in 2700m race of reference. Excelled in both appearances over 2100m here and will generate some interest
LOVE ME AGAIN – Ran 2nd but subsequently picked up victory in a 2700m Class D here last weekend. Nicolas Bazire in the bike this time but cannot be considered a priority
LUCIOLE DU VERTAIN – Returns to a distance she appreciates after finishing 9th in 31 October race of reference. Forced to start wide but is still very much in the picture
LARA MAKS – Completed the hat-trick in an Enghien Class D on 8 October. Comes here fresh and has the wherewithal to give LAROZE DU GERS (13) a run for her money
LA DIVA SUPREME – Eliminated in 2 after running 3rd over course and distance on 19 September. Has evident talent but others still easier to trust
LORENE D’AVEZE – Handy filly making just her 2nd start since the layoff. Has previously won over 2100m here but is likely to be a race shy
LAST QUEEN – Out of the picture in last 2 starts, latterly trounced in the race of reference, and will have nothing to offer
LAROZE DU GERS – Quality individual that lost her action when being conditioned here late last month. Won superbly over 2100m here in May and can win again provided she stays trotting
Summary: Even though eliminated almost as often as not, LAROZE DU GERS (13) is by no means short of ability. She has a pair of conditioners under her belt, races barefoot as she was when victorious under these conditions in the spring, and despite the draw, still looks the pick of the field. LARA MAKS (9) will also need to defy the draw in order to pull of the 4-timer. Better-positioned behind the car, LUTELLIA MONNERIE (2) would have finished in the frame late last month had she stayed in stride. LADY POP (3) starts upsides and completing the double is not beyond the realm of possibility.
SELECTIONS
LAROZE DU GERS (13) – LARA MAKS (9) – LUTELLIA MONNERIE (2) – LADY POP (3)
C6 – PRIX DES RESTAURANTS DU COEUR – 2700m (a1m1/2) – Class E – Mounted – EUR € 35,000
LIEUTENANT COLONEL – Pleasant 2nd in an Alencon harness Class E on comeback on 19 October. Sports 4 pads for the first time but still not a concern
LUCKY DES SOURCES – Showed signs of encouragement Graignes on 18 October before losing his action at Pornichet a fortnight later, and can be ruled out
LEGATO – Got off the mark at Amiens in June but has been totally out of the picture since and has no possible chance
LOVELY ONE – Got off the monte mark at Caen in September. Is better than his latest result would suggest and can bring the fight to LAMIRAL D’ERABLE (14)
L’AS TEJY – Imposed over 2200m here last winter but has done nothing of note in either code since and can be passed over
LOUSTIC DES MACE – Capable type making first appearance since running 7th of 14 in an Enghien Class D on 27 September and with shoes fitted can be disregarded
LABRAX DU SKY – Showed considerable aptitude for the code when 3rd of 18 in a Cabourg Class E 3 weeks ago. Has never delivered here under harness but things are different this time. Chance
LEOLIO – Courageous 6th in an Enghien harness Class E on 26 October but has yet to show any flair for the ridden code and will have few takers
LOVER D’AVE – Never far from faulting but has considerable ability. Comes to Paris for the first time, in search of redemption, and on good behaviour will not be going home empty-handed
LOOPING THONIC – Imposed smartly under harness at Graignes before confirming in Cherbourg early this month. Top jockey in the hot-seat this time and will be competitive for a place on the podium
L’AMI PRODIGIEUX – Eliminated almost as often as not in the ridden code, but plainly has merit. Has never delivered left-handed but is still worth monitoring
LUTHER – Complicated element that has produced the goods just twice in 9 monte starts and others easier to trust
LOVE KILLS – Still somewhat tricky but has turned a corner under harness recently. Sports 4 pads this time and with Eric Raffin back in charge can be assured a competitive ride
LAMIRAL D’ERABLE – Put on a fine performance when 2nd in a 2850m Lyon-Parilly Class E early last month. Charley Mottier could not have asked for a better entry and with application can wrap this up
Summary: Ideally-engaged at the limit of earnings, and not easy to knock in this branch of the game, LAMIRAL D’ERABLE (14) races barefoot after impressing in Lyon and Mathieu Mottier will be legitimately expecting to impose this time. LOVELY ONE (4) has shown significant aptitude for the discipline and, barefoot for the first time under the saddle, will be no pushover. LABRAX DU SKY (7) did everything asked of him on his ridden debut late last month and should be able to finish thereabouts. A reconfigured LOOPING THONIC (10) tries his hand after winning a brace under harness and with Alexandre Abrivard in the irons, must be considered a player.

C7 – PRIX ASSOCIATION DON DU SANG – 2700m (a1m1/2) – Class D – Harness – EUR € 40,000
MILADY MADRIK – Modest individual with better prospects in the claiming division and can be confidently passed over
MISS BLACK BERRY – Sent for a break after completing the double in May. Has 2 runs under her belt, is confirmed over 2700m here, and can again finish I’m the mix
MARIE DI LEONE – Unplaced on re-entry in a 2850m Class C over the inner track 3.5 weeks ago. Alexis Collette in the bike this time but others still preferred
MUSE DE MONTCEAU – Honest filly that always gives her best but is new to Vincennes and is going to need the race
MAHIZ DE GUEZ – Has not been seen out since winning a Class D under the saddle at Enghien in mid-August. Will have other ambitions
MAYOLA VEDAQUAISE – Another talented filly from the Allaire nursery. Caught the eye when 2nd in a Class D over 2175m here a week ago and is not about to let the side down
MAGGY JENILOU – Showed promise at 2 but has looked very ordinary this year and can be disregarded
MARINELLA VRIE – Pleasant 4th on main-track bow in September. Gave an encouraging account at Laval earlier in the month and will be expected to contest the finish this time
MOONLIGHT STAR – Ran 3rd over track and trip before winning a 2875m Enghien Class D a month ago. Unlikely to repeat but in current form is not going to be far off the mark
MAGIE DE CHAHAINS – Lost her maiden status over 2175m here in September before flopping over the inner track next time. Takes on another good lot here but should prove more competitive on this occasion
MYSTERY QUEEN – Faces first real objective of the winter after a number of conditioners. Is reunited with Mathieu Mottier and clearly has a claim on the spoils
MUSIQUE CLASSIQUE – Handy element with potential. Has just one race in him since her break though and makes main-track debut with little to offer
MOUSKIE DE GUEZ – Opened main-track account 2 weeks ago at first time of asking. JMB not in the bike this time but still looks a serious proposition
Summary: MYSTERY QUEEN (11) is a significantly better filly than recent results would suggest; she presents solid Vincennes credentials and is just preferred to MARINELLA VRIE (8) who has hardly put a foot out of line to date. Well-engaged here, MOUSKIE DE GUEZ (13) has started to come good and Nicolas Bazire will be expecting another big run. MAYOLA VEDAQUAISE (6) left a good impression on her main-track debut and should be suited by this longer trip.
SELECTIONS
MYSTERY QUEEN (11) – MARINELLA VRIE (8) – MOUSKIE DE GUEZ (13) – MAYOLA VEDAQUAISE (6)
C8 – PRIX OHIO – 2200m (a1m1/2) – Class E – Mounted – EUR € 35,000
MAMBO FIVE – Has been a write-off in both disciplines since his July debut and can be confidently disregarded
MANAPANIS – Has shown little aptitude for either harness or monte code and will need to show marked improvement
MAXIMUS DAIRPET – Showed a different side on ridden bow 10 days ago when 4th of 13 over track and trip. Will have progressed for the run and will have a lot to contribute if Jean-Yann Ricart keeps him trotting
MUGUET DE MAI – Debuts under the saddle after placing in 2 of last 3 under harness. Faces a stiffer test this time but is not incapable of picking up a cheque
MALIBU – Proved a point under harness for new trainer early last month. Is made for the monte discipline and would not be here without a realistic chance of imposing
MAESTRO DES GIRES – 2nd to an exceptional horse here in late-September but failed to confirm when eliminated early over course and distance 10 days ago. Has merit though and a place in first 5 is well within his reach
MAITRE PAJELO – Has not been seen out since opening his account at Vichy in late-May. Goes left-handed for the first time but hails from a yard going good-guns and must be taken very seriously
MODJO CHEF – 3rd of 15 in a 2250m Enghien Class E on ridden debut on 8 October. Eric Raffin stays faithful and although not a leading contender can still trot his way onto the podium
MY SIMON – Has shown decent aptitude for both codes, latterly running 2nd in a Cabourg Class E 3 weeks ago. Pitted against superior horses this time however and cannot be considered more than a minor place chance
MILTON BROWN – Won 2 on the trot during the spring before being sent for a rest. Lost his action on Vichy comeback on 20 September, however the engagement of Victor Saussaye can put things right
MILORD DAIRPET – Disappointing in an Enghien Class D on 18 October and would be preferred at a lower level
MONTANA BLUE – Has demonstrated respectable aptitude for the ridden code, ran 4th to MAESTRO DES GIRES (6) in late-September, but is being aimed too high this time
Summary: Complicated he may be but MALIBU (5) delivered at Alencon on his first start since moving yards and takes to the monte code for the first time with a realistic chance of getting straight down to business. Leading the opposition, MAITRE PAJELO (7) has taken superbly to his new vocation and appears the main danger. MAXIMUS DAIRPET (3) ran an honourable race on his monte bow over the main track, should find these conditions more conducive, and will be no easy touch. Solid at Enghien last month on his maiden monte start, MODJO CHEF (8) is similarly in with a decent shout.

R2 MARSEILLE-BORELY [L-H]

C1 – PRIX DE LA CALLELONGUE – 2300m (a1m1/2) – Class F Amateur Riders – Harness – EUR € 24,000

HENGY DU POMMEREUX – Finished 8th in a Class F over 2875m at Hyeres on 11 October. Has had five disqualifications and three unplaced efforts in his last eight runs. Best ignore
HAMILTON ATOUT – Disqualified in a Class E over 2650m at Marseille A Vivaux on 2 November. Well positioned at the start and gets on well with his partner
HAPPY NONANTAIS – Ran 7th in a Class R over 2100m at Vincennes-GPP on 7 October. Did finish 2nd in his penultimate start at Pornichet and could be a threat
HEQUILEO JIEL – Unplaced in a Class G over 2850m at Chartres on 16 October. However, he finished a strong 2nd in his only race at this track and has run some quality races recently
GALTON SAINT BAR – A well-beaten 9th in a Class E over 2650m at Marseille A Vivaux on 2 November. Has not placed since May and cannot be considered
HAMYOT DE BOMO – A promising 4th in a Class D over 2750m at Nimes on 1 November. He has found a new lease on life since changing stables
HUGOLINE DE BRAYE – Disqualified in a Class F over 2650m at Carpentras on 14 October. Was 3rd at this track two runs back and could be the surprise package
FILOU RIEZAIS – Ran 8th in a Class F over 2200m at Salon De Provence on 25 October. Is usually not far off them at this course so on a good day could sneak a place
GASTON DE SAUZETTE – Ran 6th in a Class F over 2200m at Salon De Provence on 25 October. has not run well in ages and is unlikely to turn the corner in this event
FEELING MESLOIS – A poor 9th in a Class G over 2650m at Chatelaillon-La Rochelle on 26 October. Best runs have been over further
HEIKO VANCEEN – Unplaced in a Class E over 2650m at Marseille A Vivaux on 2 November. Recent form is poor and cannot be followed
HOUSTON D’ARIANE – An excellent 2nd in a Class E over 2650m at Marseille A Vivaux on 2 November. He has placed in his last four starts and will be highly competitive
GIANT MEC – Unplaced in a Class F over 2650m at Carpentras on 14 October. Disqualified in his previous two starts so is best ignored
Summary: HEQUILEO JIEL (4) has run well in his only start at this course and his connections are quite happy to make the lengthy journey for him to race in this event. He could have the edge, although HOUSTON D’ARIANE (12) comes off an excellent second and is in top form while HUGOLINE DE BRAYE (7) is likely to benefit from a drop in class and is proven at this course. A change of stables appears to have done the trick for HAMYOT DE BOMO (6).

C2 – PRIX DE BERRE – 2300m (a1m1/2) – Class F – Harness – EUR € 21,000
KOUGAR DE SIMM – A decent 3rd in a Class F over 2675m at Marseille A Vivaux on 2 November. He needs to stay alert but if he does, he has to have winning chance
KING FORCE – Ran 7th in a Class E over 2150m at Toulouse on 31 October. He is well positioned on the grid and his last start showed promise
KETBERNY – Winner of a Class E over 2775m at Les Sables D’Olonne on 20 October. On form he is the obvious selection and he is the choice on driver Théo Briand
KRISTAL VICTORY – Finished 5th in a Class E over 2650m at Hyeres on 5 October. That was an improved run but she will need to up her game to feature
KYSTON DU VERNET – Unplaced in a Class F over 2600m at Saint-Galmier on 5 November. He is better positioned this time and should do better, which will make him a potential place getter. Fully shod this time
KATSOUKA – A positive 3rd in a Class F over 2000m at Lyon Parilly on 9 October. She is in top form and is well suited to the conditions.
KRONOS – A solid 3rd in a Class R over 2650m at Laon on 19 October. Goes up in Class and will need to do more to feature
KHAZAR DES CORVEES – Unplaced in a Class F over 2675m at Carpentras on 4 October. Recent form is not great but they will try him fully shod this time
KOMANIA D’ABY – A competitive 2nd in a Class F over 2000m at Lyon Parilly on 9 October. She and her partner have placed four times in seven outings together.
KAMILLE DU MESNIL – Disqualified in a Class F over 2000m at Lyon Parilly on 9 October. Recent form is poor and she will need to do a lot more
KALINA LOVE – A promising 2nd in a Class G over 2050 at Hyeres on 9 November. That was an excellent first run for a new stable but she will have a lot more to do this time
KYOTO JIEL – Finished 5th in a Class F over 2650m at Lyon Parilly on 27 October. Will battle to be competitive in this company
KAIROS QUICK – A Moderate 6th in a Class F over 2775m at Cabourg on 4 July. Comes back from a layoff and will have a lot more to do
KENZA SPORT – Finished 5th in a Class F over 2600m at Saint-Galmier on 4 November. Form is not great and should be ignored
KITKO TEJY – Ran 2nd in a Class E over 2650m at Marseille Vivaux on 29 October. This will be a lot tougher than his last start.
KASSUS BLUE – A decent 8th in a Class F over this course and distance on 23 September. He got too far back last time to give himself a chance but David Békaert will be in be in the driving seat this time
Summary: KETBERNY (3) is the form horse in this event and has a lot going for him. He is in a perfect position on the grid and with Théo Briand as his driver, he is the runner to beat. KOUGAR DE SIMM (1)has been in good form and if he keeps his mind on the job, he will be a lively challenger. A good frontrunner. KATSOUKA (6) will have his first start for his new yard while KYSTON DU VERNET (5) will be better suited to a left-handed track.

Summary: This race is MAITRE D’HOULBEC’s (8) mission and he has had the perfect build-up going into it. As a result, he could prove hard to beat.

MACUMBA DESBOIS (5) has no issues with the left-handed track and is expected to fight out the finish. MORE AND MORE (11) will have to come from off them but will benefit from the longer trip.

SAGANNE – Facile success by 3.5L over 1600m at Parislongchamp on September 14th in a Class 4 race. The step back in trip today should not stop her
ISCREAMFORICECREAM – Placed 3rd over 1400m at Haras Du Pin in a Class 4 race on October 26th. Yet to win in 15 runs and she will have to wait a while longer
THAT’S LIFE – Unplaced last time, 4th previously over 1350m in a Class 4 claimer at Lyon Parilly on October 7th. Pass over
Summary: SAGANNE (13) has a good racing weight and arrives after success over 1600m at Parislongchamp in mid-September when scoring by 3.5 lengths. The slight drop back in trip should not be an inconvenience. MEISHO VELITE (9) holds strong claims and has been in decent shape recently. She seems to be at her best over this distance. JACK O’BOY (7) is a previous course and distance winner in 2024, and has shaped well at this track recently. PRINCE OF CLOUDS (1) is the each way must despite top weight.

ACOTANGO – Unplaced last time over 3100m in mid-October, 2nd previously over 2400m at this track in a Class 3 handicap on October 9th. He seems to run well at this track and warrants respect
LASCAUX – Two unplaced efforts this year, the latter over 2000m at Fontainebleau in a Class 3 race on November 3rd. Makes limited appeal
VASIGREEN – Two unplaced efforts of late, both at this track- the latter over this trip in a Class 3 handicap on October 26th. Drops in class today and looks vulnerable
KAMAKURA ONE – 5th last time over this track and trip in a Class 3 handicap on October 26th, a win previously at Jarnac on October 12th over 2500m in a Class 4 race. Key player
MOZART DES BRIERES – Three decent efforts of late, a win in early September over 2600m in a claimer and two placed runs in Class 3 handicaps, the latter on October 21st at Bordeaux Le Bouscat. Player
DREAMS – Several unplaced runs of late, well beaten over 2400m at this track in a Class 3 handicap on October 9th. Out of form but can bounce back and make the frame
GALEGO STAR – Two nice efforts of late, a win two runs back in a claimer at Le Croise-Laroche on October 6th over 2500m and a 4th at Chantilly last time over 2700m in a claimer. Hard to ignore
CAPTAIN CROCHET – Two unplaced efforts since he won twice in the summer, the latter of them in a Class 4 race at Clairefontaine over 2400m on August 18th. Tries a claimer for the first time, but is hard to fancy
VIVAHENY – Two unplaced runs so far, the latter over 1800m at Compiegne on October 10th in a conditions race. Opposable
WINHERALD LAUJAC – Five unplaced runs, the latter over hurdles at Fontainebelau on October 28th in a Class 4 race. Looks of limited talent
BRAMESHOT – Placed on the last two runs, 3rd on the most recent over 2900m at Durtal on November 1st in a Class 4 race. Has work to do to make the top four
MISS DYNAMITE – 5th in a Class 3 claimer over 2700m at Chantilly on October 31st when last seen. Capable of making the top four

Summary: KAMAKURA ONE (5) scored two runs back in a Class 4 race in early October at Jarnac and fared well when fifth over course and distance on October 26th on her latest start. She is the tentative selection ahead of ACOTANGO (2), who was second over track and trip two runs back in a Class 3 handicap. CUNNING FOX (1) looks like a solid option each way and is one to include in all of the place bet combinations. GALEGO STAR (8) is also worth considering.

DSCHINGIS TIGER – Showed his first sign of form for some time since a win in July, when second over 2900m at Amiens in a handicap on October 29th. More consistency needed
Summary: GUILLERETTE (4) won well at Fontainebleau in mid-October when last seen, and despite her rise in the handicap, she can follow up. NICK BOUTIQUE (10) scored over 1950m at Parislongchamp in October, and his style of racing suggests he should stay this extra distance. He can make the selection work hard. MAYAMAR (5) gained his first success 11 days ago at Le Croise-Laroche and looks like an each-way option. LE TYCOON (2) makes up the shortlist.

GOLDEN BLUSH – She scored in a claimer at La Croise-Laroche on October 17th over 2500m on her last start. This will be more of a test
BELLA MEMORIA – Got off the mark over 2000m at this track in a handicap on October 9th by 2L. Stamina to prove, but she can have a say if given time to get in a nice rhythm
Summary: FLASH MAN (1) could be the answer despite conceding weight to all his rivals. He ran well on his only previous visit to this track, finishing third over the track and trip in April. CARISHA (5) produced a solid third in a Class 2 race at Châteaubriant in July, three runs back, and has performed respectably since. She should be involved, as should PERIHELIO (4), who has been admirably consistent, finishing in the first two in each of his last five starts. MISTRESS (6) looks best of the remainder.

JOURNÉE À LA GRAVE (10) remains in good shape and should be involved in the finish. JACQUES D’AVEL (1) is clearly better than his last run and is another to consider.

KAISER DU CHATELET – Victorious last time out in a Class F mounted race at Castelsarrasin over 2375m on 9 November. Keeps that shoeing and can double up

Summary: KLASSICA DESBOIS (12) showed promise on her debut under the saddle. Barefoot this time, she should be ready to score. KAISER DU CHÂTELET (5) has shone of late and keeps the same shoeing as in his good recent form, so he will be a threat. KAMPALA DU DAMIER (8) is unreliable but did run well over this course and distance last month and is not out of it. JUST IN LOVE (10) is likely to improve back under the saddle.

MORIAC (1) showed improvement last time out and would not be a surprise winner over this shorter distance.
