French Selections Sunday 1st

R1 VINCENNES [L-H]

C1 – PX PMU D’ILE-DE-FRANCE (PX DE L’EURE) – 2850m (a2m) – Class D Race – Harness – EUR € 59,000

CHESTNUT (SWE) – Makes Vincennes debut after winning 2 of last 3, latterly over 2609m at Orebro on 19 October, and will be no easy touch if he takes to the new profile. Attention
COLBERT WF – Excellent 3rd of 13 in a 2100m Class C here mid-November. Takes on a better bunch this time though and not an obvious choice
MISTER DONALD – Out of the picture in last 3, most recently 9th of 15 to VERSACE FACE (9) in a 2100m Class D a fortnight ago, and can be passed over
SANTOS DE CASTELLA – Unlucky 10th of 14 behind BITCOIND’ARC (7) in a 2150m Mauquenchy Class D 2.5 weeks ago. Has ample ability but may just need another run
CARLOFORTE FONT – Quality trotter that caught the eye when 3rd of 15 in a 2100m Class C here on 29 October. Seldom puts a foot wrong and has a realistic chance of contesting the finish
GAMIN NORMAND – Last but one, on return to competition, in a 2700m Class D here last weekend. Shoes on again and not a player
BITCOIND’ARC – Good, consistent type that ran 2nd of 14 in a 2150m Mauquenchy Class D 2.5 weeks ago. Placed over course and distance in September and although not a priority is still worth monitoring
HERMES LUDOIS – 7th of 11 in a 2700m Machecoul Class E on 3 November. Stays shod and can be disregarded
VERSACE FACE – Opened Vincennes account at first time of asking, comfortably winning a 2100m Class D a fortnight ago. Goes over any trip and once again looks the horse to beat
BEAT GENERATION – Returns to Vincennes after finishing 6th of 10 over 2140m under the saddle in Gothenburg late-September. Reunited with Raffin after more than 2 years and will be assured every chance. Place prospect
INTOUCHABLE – 3rd of 11 in a 2850m Laval Class E a fortnight ago. Has never delivered over 2850m here but with Yoann Lebourgeois reining, must be respected
INDIGO PIERJI – 2nd over 2700m here late-October before coming 4th, a place behind INTOUCHABLE (11), in a 2850m Laval Class E a fortnight ago. Enjoys an excellent entry and will be expected to finish in the mix
Summary: After coming to France off the back of serious form at home in the nordics, VERSACE FACE (9) made short work of her Vincennes debut and has every chance of repeating. That said, the consistent CARLOFORTE FONT (5) has never let the side down in Paris and in present form is very easy to like. BEAT GENERATION (10) may not have been seen out for just over 2 months but he is barefoot with Eric Raffin in the bike and is patently in competition-mode. Excellent at home in Sweden, CHESTNUT (SWE) (1) benefits from an Alexnadre Abrivard drive for her Vincennes bow and can make a big splash.
SELECTIONS
VERSACE FACE (9) – CARLOFORTE FONT (5) – BEAT GENERATION (10) – CHESTNUT (SWE) (1)
C2 – FINALE DU GRAND NATIONAL DES AMATEURS – 2850m (a2m) – Class E Amateur Drivers Race – Harness – EUR € 17,000
IRELAND TEAM – 6th of 11 in a 2500m Reims Class G a week ago. Has no love for the amateur division and can be disregarded
INCOGNITO – Superb in 5 amateur events before missing the break and running 9th of 12 behind IQUITO PLANCHETTE (7), in a 2950m Toulouse amateurs Class F 11 days ago. Will have a part to play though if he gets off on the right foot
GAGA LADY BENACH – Sanctioned here before repeating in Toulouse race of reference and can be confidently passed over
IVRE DE TOI – Sanctioned in a 2850m Mauquenchy Class F when prepping for this last weekend. Is hard to knock when focused and even racing shod, will be no easy touch from the front line
IOUP LA BOUM – Disappointing of late, most recently sanctioned in a 2700m amateurs Class E here mid-October, and can be ruled out
HEMILIO PIERJI – Quality individual that ran 4th of 12, behind IQUITO PLANCHETTE (7), in a 2950m Toulouse amateurs Class F 11 days ago. Has solid references here and even from the back line should be good enough to finish close
IQUITO PLANCHETTE – Back in Paris after running 2nd of 12 in a 2950m Toulouse amateurs Class F 11 days ago. Simply thrives here and, handicap notwithstanding, will take all the beating
FIFTY – Sanctioned in last 3, latterly a 2625m Agen Class C on 23 October. Has decent amateur references, comes here fresh, and if focused can get in on the action
FUNKY BERRY – 11th of 14 in a 2100m Class D here on 25 October. Back in a category he adores and, winner of 2 from 3 amateurs starts here, must be afforded due respect
Summary: Exceptional over 2850m on both courses, IQUITO PLANCHETTE (7) returns to Paris with a legitimate chance of opening his winter account. He will still encounter resistance from the highly-consistent FUNKY BERRY (9) who is back in the amateur category with a good hand to play, and HEMILIO PIERJI (6) who ran 4th to his stablemate at Toulouse.

C3 – PRIX RFM – LETROT OPEN DES REGIONS 3 ANS – 2850m (a2m) – Gr3 Race – Harness – EUR € 70,000
LENNON D’HERFRAIE – Won a 3000m Nantes Class A on 17 November. Steps up in category and even with 4 pads fitted this time, nonetheless represents no more than a minor place prospect
LUTIN DE REUX – Courageous winner of a 2850m Laval Class A 2 weeks ago. Steps marginally up in category but still has the capacity to double his money
LOVER SIXTY ONE – Imposed at Graignes before coming 4th of 9 to LARA CROFT (6) in a 2875m Argentan Class A on 3 November. Pitted against better this time and others easier to back
LORD DE LOIRON – Made up for a pair of sanctions when 2nd of 8 in a 2825m Class A at Le Croisé-Laroche 3 weeks ago. Left a good impression on his lone start here and although untried over this shorter trip, still looks a respectable first-5 chance
LEADER D’AIMTE – Denied a run when 4th to L’AS DESBOIS (8) in a 2700m Class A here 9 days ago. Clearly on the way back up and will not be going home empty-handed if François Lagadeuc keeps him out of trouble
LARA CROFT – Clinched a 2875m Argentan Class A on 3 November. Has taken little time getting back to her best and looks competitive for a place cheque
LARA DU GOUTIER – Solid 5th of 12 in a 2700m Class A here 8 days ago but, in this company, has little chance of improving on that
L’AS DESBOIS – Prevailed in a 2700m Class A here 9 days ago. Forced to incur the penalty this time and chances limited
LASH PERRINE – Encouraging, and surprising, 4th of 9 to LUTIN DE REUX (2) in a 2850m Laval Class A a fortnight ago, however a repeat seems most improbable
LEADER DE JOUDES – Looked capable of going closer when 4th of 7 in a 2700m Gr.3 here on 8 November. Will find a better pace this time and while unlikely to shake things up, can still get in on the action
LUMINOSITY – Good 3rd of 10 in a fillies-only 2700m Gr.3 here on 8 November. Has the boys to contend with on this occasion and is unlikely to influence the result
LILAS CASTELLE – Missed out by little on the 3-timer when 2nd of 9 to LUTIN DE REUX (2) in a 2850m Laval Class A a fortnight ago. Fitted with 4 pads for just 2nd time and could well wrap this up
LEMON TREE – Respectable, but never-threatening 6th of 12 in a 2700m Gr.2 here a fortnight ago. Shoes on though and can be ruled out
LARGO DE CASTELLE – Unlucky 8th of 12, behind LEMON TREE (13), in a 2700m Gr.2 here a fortnight ago. In less-exalted company this time and, with pads fitted, can give LILAS CASTELLE (12) something to think about
Summary: Back on course following a difficult start to the year, LILAS CASTELLE (12) missed out on the hat-trick at Laval last month but sports pads this time and can put things right. 25m better off again, LUTIN DE REUX (2) had her measure that day and should again figure prominently, but may first have to see off LARGO DE CASTELLE (14) who has also been reconfigured for his drop in class. Winner over the main track earlier in the year, LARA CROFT (6) showed great tenacity at Argentan a month ago and a similar effort would see her finish in the mix.

C4 – FINALE DU GRAND NATIONAL DU TROT – 2850m (a2m) – Gr2 Race – Harness – EUR € 150,000
IROISE DE LA NOE – Runner-up in last 2, most recently a 2850m Laval Class E on 16 November. Will be at full-fitness, has excellent references under these conditions, and from the front row can impose her will
ILLUSION JIPAD – Easy winner of a Class A here before finishing 10th of 14, behind ICONE MADRIK (3), in a 2100m Class C here 2 weeks ago. Is never easy to gauge and other better options available
ICONE MADRIK – 5th of 14 in a 2100m Class C here 2 weeks ago. Has never produced the goods at this level and, while clearly capable, still has more to find
JAKARTAS DES PRES – 5th of 12 to IGUSKI SAUTONNE (8) in a 2950m Toulouse Gr.3 11 days ago, but will need to show considerably more this time
GOAL STAR – Consistent type that ran 2nd of 12 to IGUSKI SAUTONNE (8) in a 2950m Toulouse Gr.3 11 days ago. Sports 4 pads though and others preferred
IBISCUS MAN – Made up for October sanction when winning a 2700m Class B with authority here 3 weeks ago. Has never been in better form, JMB ably replaces Eric Raffin, and is not to be discounted
HERO SIBEY – Superior winner of a Cherbourg Gr.3 before confirming in a 2100m Class B here on 5 November. Has won 9 from 10 this year and, well-positioned on the front line, can play a leading role
IGUSKI SAUTONNE – Made it 3 in a row when winning a 2950m Toulouse Gr.3 on 20 November. Could not have asked for a better entry and is not incapable of upsetting the apple-cart
IGREC DE CELLAND – Championship leader but disappointing 11th of 12 to IGUSKI SAUTONNE (8) in a 2950m Toulouse Gr.3 11 days ago. Incurs the penalty and cannot be considered more than a minor place prospect
HIDALGO DES NOES – Valiant runner-up to IDEAL LIGNERIES (14) in a 3000m Nantes Gr.3 on 6 November. Configured differently this time though and not a priority
INO DU LUPIN – Excellent winner of a Laval Class A before running 2nd to IT’S A DOLLARMAKER (13) in a Gr.3 over course and distance 3 weeks ago. On the back row but has won 4 from 5 under these conditions and must be respected
GRACE DU DIGEON – Decent 5th of 15 to INO DU LUPIN (11) in a 2850m Laval Class A on 1 November. Has ground to make up though and others easier to back
IT’S A DOLLARMAKER – Terrific winner of a Gr.3 over course and distance 3 weeks ago. Forced to start on back row this time but boasts excellent course-and-distance credentials and will be no pushover
IDEAL LIGNERIES – Failed to confirm Nantes success when 10th of 16 in Gr.2 Prix de Bretagne over 2700m here a fortnight ago. Is plainly in fine shape though and, in this more reasonable company, will have her chances
Summary: IROISE DE LA NOE (1) showed last year that she could run with the best; she has never disappointed over 2850m here and, barefoot for the occasion, can get off the mark for the winter meeting. IDEAL LIGNERIES (14) should not be condemned for his Bretagne performance and, even from the second line, will be expected to make amends. HERO SIBEY (7) is a model of consistency and the 25m head-start could just make all the difference. Irrespective of the conditions, IT’S A DOLLARMAKER (13) is never one to be underestimated.

C5 – LETROT OPEN DES REGIONS – 4 ANS – 2850m (a2m) – Gr3 Race – Harness – EUR € 80,000
KARAIELLA BOND – 2nd of 8 in a 3000m Nantes Class A on 17 November. Races first-time barefoot, is plainly in shape, but is taking on too much this time
KASH DES CAILLONS – Held on to impose at Caen before running 2nd to a very good horse in a 2875m Argentan Class A on 3 November. Yet to deliver at Vincennes but racing barefoot with David Thomain in the bike will only enhance his prospects
KEEN OF THE NIGHT – Last but one in a 2850m Laval Class A 2 weeks ago. Reconfigured but still has no realistic chance
KEVISAN – Should not be too quickly judged for finishing 12th of 13 to KING GEORGES (9) in a Class C over course and distance 2 weeks ago. Has otherwise been in fine form, appreciates the venue, and looks good enough to make first 5
KISS ME SIMON – Surprise winner of a 2825m Class A at Le Croise-Laroche 3 weeks ago. On front line again, and races barefoot, but others preferred this time
KROONER D’HERIPRE – Useful sort facing first test of the new season after running 7th of 9 in a 2850m Mauquenchy Class A conditioner 2.5 weeks ago. Sports a new configuration for his Vincennes debut and could pleasantly surprise
KHARNAS – Won at Craon before running 2nd of 15 in a 2750m Class B at Les Sables on 21 October. Sports 4 pads this time though and best to hold off
KISS ME AGAIN – Won 2 over 2700m here before running 6th of 9, when being prepared for this, in a 2850m Laval Class A 2 weeks ago. Was never tested that day but looks a serious contender this time
KING GEORGES – Made short work of a Class C over track and trip a fortnight ago. Is unlikely to repeat but a similar effort would see him go close once more
KESITO D’URVILLE – Won 2 in the provinces before finishing 10th of 12 to KARAMBAR (13) in a Class B over course and distance 3 weeks ago and, barefoot or otherwise, is not about to influence the outcome
KYOTO DIGEO – Good 4th of 12 to KARAMBAR (13) in a Class B over course and distance 3 weeks ago. Regularly in the mix when barefoot and can, despite a 2nd row draw, give this a good go
KOTKIE – Imposed at Agen before coming 2nd of 7 to KISS ME SIMON (5) in a 2825m Class A at Le Croise-Laroche 3 weeks ago. Clearly on the way back up and, despite the 25m penalty, is unlikely to disappoint
KARAMBAR – Won 3 of last 4, most recently a Class B over course and distance with ease 3 weeks ago, and looks eminently capable of repeating
Summary: Nicely-engaged at the limit of earnings, KARAMBAR (13) has been something of a revelation when barefoot, won under these conditions during the summer, and may just have the edge over the better-placed KISS ME AGAIN (8) who has won two of three at Vincennes. Clearly back at the top of his game, KASH DES CAILLONS (2) races first-time barefoot and David Thomain will be keen to take advantage of the front-row break. KING GEORGES (9) is just 25 Euros from being penalised and his recent course-and-distance victory bodes well for his prospects.

C6 – PRIX PHILIPPE DU ROZIER – 2175m (a1m1/4) – Gr2 Race – Mounted – EUR € 120,000
KASBAH PERRINE – Sanctioned in last 2, latterly a 2850m Class B over the short course on 22 November, and will have few friends
ELISE ANA – Yet to deliver since crossing the Alps, most recently last of 7 finishers, behind KEL AIR D’EOLE (5) in a 2850m Class B here 9 days ago, and can be passed over
KEENGAME – Quality element taking a notable step up in category after coming 3rd of 7 finishers, a place behind KEL AIR D’EOLE (5), despite faulting in a 2850m Class B here 9 days ago. Is reconfigured and, with application, can finish close
KISS ME HONEY – Last but one when being conditioned in a 2700m harness Class B here 3 weeks ago. Has talent in spades and will be dangerous if she takes to the new discipline
KEL AIR D’EOLE – Reassuring 2nd of 7 finishers, despite faulting, in a 2850m Class B here 9 days ago. Unlikely to repeat but should nevertheless hold his own
KONDOR – Sanctioned in a 2850m Class B here on 22 November. Reconfigured for the occasion but still appears to have his work cut out
KELVALSE CASTELETS – Sanctioned in last 3, most recently a 2850m Class B here on 22 November, and others easier to trust
KAYA DREAM – Tenacious winner, at 11/1, of a 2700m Gr.2 here on 12 November. Already twice a Gr.2 winner in the code and, with form maintained, can add another notch to her belt
KAPAULA DE L’EPINE – Unthreatening 5th of 8 finishers to KAYA DREAM (8) in 2700m Gr.2 Prix Ceneri Forcinal on 12 November. Did win a Gr.2 under these conditions 12 months ago though and, barefoot this time, deserves to be taken seriously
KELLY DE BANVILLE – Comfortable Gr.3 winner over 2850m here before coming 3rd of 8 finishers to KAYA DREAM (8) in 2700m Gr.2 Prix Ceneri Forcinal on 12 November. Has nothing to prove at this level and looks a solid first-3 choice
KYT KAT – Classy colt that missed out by little to KAYA DREAM (8) in a 2700m Gr.2 here on 12 November. Is plainly the better horse and Mathieu Mottier will be expected to set the record straight
KYRIELLE DES VAUX – Unable to confirm Prix des Elites 3rd when disappointing 7th of 8 finishers to KAYA DREAM (8) in 2700m Gr.2 Prix Ceneri Forcinal on 12 November. Reverts to a successful formula and cannot be discounted
Summary: Gr.1 Prix des Elites winner in September before running a nail-bitingly-close 2nd to KAYA DREAM (8) in the 2700m Gr.2 Prix Ceneri Forcinal last month, KYT KAT (11) has won 50% of the time over 2175m and will be expected to exact revenge. Valiant 3rd that day despite badly-negotiating the final turn, KELLY DE BANVILLE (10) must also be considered a legitimate contender. A hardy filly when barefoot and focused, KISS ME HONEY (4) is reunited with Eric Raffin for her first competitive ridden start and will garner considerable support.

JACKSON D’ARC – Respectable 5th of 10 to JEANNETTE PRIORY (11) in a 2875m Argentan Class A on 3 November, but is clearly taking on too much this time
JEUDI DES RACQUES – 2nd of 13 to JADE HERINIERE (3) in a 3000m Nantes Class A 2 weeks ago. Transformed since returning to racing barefoot and, although unlikely to repeat, should still give an honest account
JADE HERINIERE – Winner of a 3000m Nantes Class A 2 weeks ago. Takes on a better lot this time however and is unlikely to make much of an impact
JIANFRANCO – Tenacious winner of a 2825m Class A at Le Croise-Laroche 3 weeks ago. Has taken particularly well to the main track and look competitive for another podium place
JAVA DES CAILLONS – 6th in Laval race of reference when being prepared for this. Goes barefoot this time but would be preferred in a mares-only event
JOYEUX DU LANDRET – Brilliant winner over course and distance before finishing 5th of 9 to JAPPELOUP TURGOT (14) in a 2850m Laval Class A a fortnight ago. Not the luckiest that day and must not be discounted
JAVELOT – Good 2nd of 9 to JAPPELOUP TURGOT (14) in a 2850m Laval Class A a fortnight ago. Has been knocking at the door lately and from the front line will have a lot to offer
JAGUAR DE LAUMAC – Easy winner of a 2825m Class A at Le Croise-Laroche 3 weeks ago. Unlucky under these conditions in September but has since more than made amends and looks a major player
JOKER D’OCCAGNES – Reassuring 4th of 10, behind JILORD VIVA (12), in a 2850m Mauquenchy Class A 2.5 weeks ago, and even though well-engaged, nonetheless faces a stiffer test this time around
JEDI DES BROUETS – Sanctioned in last 4, most recently a 2850m Parilly Class A 2 weeks ago, and can be confidently passed over
JEANNETTE PRIORY – Won 3 of last 4, latterly a 2875m Argentan Class A on 3 November. Seldom excels at Vincennes though and others easier to back
JILORD VIVA – Close 2nd of 10 in a 2850m Mauquenchy Class A 2.5 weeks ago. Barefoot for the occasion, is reunited with Eric Raffin who went close with him last July, and will be afforded every chance
JUST A BOY D’ALESA – Won at Enghien late-September before running close 2nd of 16 in a 2700m Class B here on 8 November and, barefoot again, can bring the fight to JAPPELOUP TURGOT (14)
JAPPELOUP TURGOT – Beat a number of these in a 2850m Laval Class A a fortnight ago. Won 2 here during the autumn and is thoroughly capable of securing another
Summary: Like a horse reborn since the summer, winning three of his last 4, JAPPELOUP TURGOT (14) may have raced just once under these conditions, and starts on the second line, but his recent Laval performance augurs particularly well for his prospects. Third that day after having imposed at the same track the previous month, JIANFRANCO (4) can again figure prominently, but may first have to see off the serious and in-form JUST A BOY D’ALESA (13) who is plainly close to winning another, and JAGUAR DE LAUMAC (8) who justifiably bids to complement last month’s victory at Le Croise-Laroche.

INBREED – 8th of 10 in a 2850m Parilly harness conditioner a fortnight ago. Has solid ridden references but is being aimed too high this time
HURIEL LUDOIS – One-paced 6th of 8, behind FERRERO DU LOISIR (5), in a 2450m Caen Class D on 12 October. Shoes back on and can be passed over
FARCEUR ACE – Disappointing 8th of 9 in a 3000m Nantes Class D 3.5 weeks ago and has nothing to offer
IVANOF – Not easy to handle but has ample ability, latterly 4th of 6 finishers in a 2850m Class B here last Monday. Takes a dip in category and, if applied, can make first 5
FERRERO DU LOISIR – Has ability but sanctioned in last 3, latterly a 3000m Nantes harness Class E a fortnight ago, and other more trustworthy choices available
ILLENC DES BOSC – Last but one when preparing for this in a 2100m harness Class C a fortnight ago. Alexandre Abrivard in the bike this time and looks a serious proposition
IMAGINE D’ATOUT – Won on re-entry before coming 2nd of 10 in a 2625m Agen Class D on 23 October. Seldom disappoints when focused here and must be afforded respect
HUGO OCCAGNES – Placed under the saddle at Caen before finishing last of 13, behind GARANCIO BELLO (10), when being conditioned in a harness Class D over course and distance last weekend. Shoes off but others still preferred
ILTON ROYAL – 9th of 13, behind GARANCIO BELLO (10), when being conditioned in a harness Class D over course and distance last weekend. With shoes off this time though, will be no easy touch
GARANCIO BELLO – Reassuring 4th of 13 in a harness Class D over course and distance last weekend. Excels over 2700m here and, reunited with Eric Raffin, can play a prominent role
ILAYA – Makes monte bow after running 4th of 11 in a harness Class A over course and distance a month ago. Has nothing to prove at this level and, if form transitions, will have a lot to contribute
HISTOIRE MODERNE – Debuts under the saddle after finishing 9th of 14 in a harness Class C over track and trip last Monday, and even though reconfigured, and with Damien Bonne onboard, is not about to cause an upset
GAVROCHE BEST – Reassuring but surprising 5th of 10, behind ILTON ROYAL (9), in a 2875m Enghien Class C on 27 October. A repeat however seems improbable
IALTO D’HERTALS – 14th of 16, on re-entry, in a 2875m Argentan harness Class A on 3 November. Switches code for first time and, reconfigured for the occasion, should be taken seriously
Summary: A thrilling race in prospect here with three protagonists set to generate most of the interest. ILTON ROYAL (9) thrives at Vincennes and is barefoot following a recent harness conditioner. Three times a winner in 4 starts over course and distance, ILLENC DES BOSC (6) is similarly unshod for his first objective of the winter. GARANCIO BELLO (10) won under these conditions last time under the saddle here and his recent harness performance did not go unnoticed. IMAGINE D’ATOUT (7) has picked up this term where she left off in June and although unlikely to impose this time, can still challenge for a place in the frame.

JONCTION HAUFOR – Sanctioned when being prepared for this in a 2175m monte Class F here a fortnight ago. Has references under these conditions and, if applied, can challenge for a place on the podium
JOLYA DE POMMERAYE – Pleasant 6th of 16 in a 2100m Class F here on 5 November. Is evidently in good shape and although not a priority, is still good enough to make first 5
JOKE BLUE – 3rd of 13 in a 2500m Reims Class F 2.5 weeks ago, on first start since the spell. Will have come on for the run but cannot be considered a contender
JAVA DE BOITRON – Takes a big step up in category after coming 5th of 14 in a 2850m Maure Class F on 3 November and is unlikely to shake things up
JALISCA FLIGNY – Sanctioned early in a 2150m Mauquenchy Class F 3 weeks ago and, in this field, has no possible chance
JOFESCA BUISSONAY – Was not disgraced when 7th of 13, behind JOKE BLUE (3), in a 2500m Reims Class F 2.5 weeks ago. Just front pads fitted this time and chances limited
JACOTTE DE TIZE – Made up for early-November sanction when 4th of 13 in a 3000m Nantes Class A 2 weeks ago. Top driver in the bike and will not be sent out at 91/1 this time
JALISCA DES AMBRES – Showed improvement when 3rd of 15 in a 2625m Class D at La Rochelle 3 weeks ago, but appears to be biting off more than she can chew
JUSTE DU GERS – Very good 2nd of 11 in a 2850m Class E here on 29 October. Goes barefoot again and Fabien Gence appears to have an even better opportunity this time. Chance
JARYCA – 3rd of 11, a place behind JUSTE DU GERS (9), in a 2850m Class E here on 29 October, but has consistency on her side and Eric Raffin is unlikely to allow the same thing to happen again. Claim
JANIS SHOW – Returns to her most successful configuration after finishing last but one, on comeback, in a 2850m Laval Class E on 8 November. Won over course and distance last winter and will justifiably generate interest
JUVISY GEMA – Makes Vincennes debut after running 3rd of 7 finishers in a 2800m Strasbourg Class F late-October. Has decent left-handed credentials, goes barefoot this time, and is unlikely to be far off the mark
JUST AN ARTIST – Encouraging 3rd of 12 in a 2500m Reims Class F a week ago. Sports a new formula but still no more than a minor place chance
JOLIE DU CEBE – Showed improvement when 6th of 14 in a 2850m Laval Class E on 8 November. Enjoys a good entry but still has more to find
Summary: Transformed since starting to race in the day’s configuration, JARYCA (10) was never taxed on her late-October Vincennes debut and should be in a position to turn the tables on JUSTE DU GERS (9) who surprisingly beat her that day. JACOTTE DE TIZE (7) reassured mid-November and the engagement of Yoann Lebourgeois will do her prospects no disservice. JONCTION HAUFOR (1) is not to everyone’s liking but is no slouch when focused and races barefoot for the first time since June.

He can win from LINDJIM (9) who has a nice profile and will be well-tuned for her debut.

Summary: SAVILE ROW (11) arrives after a good second-placed run at Saint-Cloud last time in mid-October and can go one better this time. His main danger could be LIBERTE CHERIE (10) who ran well when she was third at Angers two starts ago and ran a credible race last time when sixth. FRENCH DIVA (7) looks like a good option for the each-way backers to latch on to. LADY STRAIGHT (5) makes up the shortlist.

INCA MAN – Fair 4th over 1900m at Cholet on November 3rd in a Class 4 handicap. Among the leading place chances
Summary: BARC (7) could be the answer to this open handicap. He was a good second at Chantilly two runs back in late October and won before that earlier that month at Saint-Cloud. He has the most to fear from SEA GARDENS (3) who has been in good shape with a second and a win before that at Nancy in October. RUE JONAS (4) is one to include in all of the place bet permutations. INCA MAN (16) warrants respect from the foot of the weights.

Summary: IN VICTIS (5) was a good third two starts ago at Toulouse and will play a leading role in this chase. TREE BAR (1) will try her best to make life difficult for the main selection. She is seeking a hat-trick of wins and that is not out of the question. IOUM ROCHELAIS (10) has been in good shape recently and has a live chance each-way. BAND QUALITY (9) will improve for a recent third-placed run in early November as it was the first of the year.

Summary: KOPPA (10) has run well when fourth on his last two runs and this lightly raced gelding has a good deal more to come. He is preferred to KARTIER LIBRE (14) who has also only raced three times and ran well on his chase debut two starts ago at Angouleme and can be forgiven for a recent mishap in November on his latest run. KABUKI A LA MOTTE (3) looks like a safe option for the each-way backers to be with. KRAC DORE (4) heads the rest.

Summary: IRIS DES VIGNAUX (10) has an absence to overcome but will be well trained and is a course winner two starts ago over 4000m in June 2023. Her biggest threat could be SILVER HORSE (1) who can overcome a mishap last time and is best judged on his win in October at Nancy. LITTLE WINNER (4) has a leading each-way chance and she was a good second to SILVER HORSE (1) last time. HILLICO CONTI (6) is also worth a mention.

JOLIE DE L’AUMANCE (12) tries a Mounted race and could be a threat.

ISSALIO (13) ran a big race at Toulouse ten days ago and is another one to monitor closely. IRON BOCAIN (17) is in good form, well entered and runs barefoot so is best to keep on the shortlist.

Summary: IPSON DU VERNAY (13) keeps running well and also boasts a good record at this track. He is a very tempting bet in this line-up.

JOGGER KILY (2) went down to a very smart trotter on Wednesday at Marseille and can make his presence felt once again. JUSTIN DE MARCAY (5) generally goes well under the current shoeing feature and warrants respect too.

PHILOSOPHY – Ten time winner, finished 2nd over 2400m at Nantes in a Handicap on the 1st of November and can go one more. Win choice
SANCHO – Taking time to win again, finished 4th over 2600m last time and can earn money again for the connections. Outside place claims

VIKING CITY – Can build on last local run when 9th over 2400m at Toulouse and must be respected and included in all bets
GAMECHANGER – Finished 3rd three starts back but has been average since. Prefer others for the shortlist and would be a shock winner
LANCEUR D’ALERTE – Will need to progress on last run when 7th over 2400m at Toulouse. Others are preferred and selected for the bets
TIGRE ROUGE – Boasts solid, consistent form and has a huge chance. Good last run when 2nd over 2400m at Toulouse. Big runner
JARDIN BLEU – Current form has been on the decline over various trips and tracks and is hard to make a case for
COCOA – Impressed when winning last start which was on the 11th of last month over 2400m at Toulouse in Handicap class. Good chance
Summary: PHILOSOPHY (3) knows how to race and knows how to win, he has done it ten times already and is selected to make it eleven, after this. He finished a good 2nd over 2400m at Nantes in a Handicap last time and is confidently selected to go one better. DON’T WATCH ME CRY (2) has shown in her last two starts that she is itching to achieve another win. Strong each way claims. KATE DADDY (1) can be expected to do way better than her recent 8th finish and is given a bright place chance. VIKING CITY (6) is a must for all bets. First four claims.

C7 – PRIX D’AGEN – 1600m (a1m) – TURF – Class 4 Claiming Handicap – Flat – EUR € 13,000
ROI DE L’AIR – Was a winner at the last start which was at Amiens over 1650m in a weak claimer. Is tipped to follow up
DANCE AHEAD – Ignore last run when finishing 10th at Toulouse over 1400m in a Handicap. Judge on better earlier form but others are preferred
PORTOFINO – Finished 2nd in Madrid over 1600m in October and might need a race or two to tighten up. Can be overlooked
PIANO MAN – Finished 2nd three starts back and has been average since but can do way better. Good chance
ZEYZOUN – Boasts a recent victory at Toulouse over 1600m and can follow up. Looks a serious player in this class of event
GRECIAN STAR – Is a tad erratic, finished 12th last time, 2nd before that over 1800m in a Handicap at Lyon La Soie and must be respected on that run alone. Chance
MORELLO DI VENTO – Is still a maiden, finished way back last time and is therefore hard to fancy. Unlikely winner. Best to overlook
CODE OF SILENCE – Finished 7th over 1400m in a Handicap at Toulouse on the 24th of November and will need to serve up more than that to threaten here. Can one passed over
HEART SHINING – Only managed 8th place last time when racing at Lyon La Soie over 1800m and much more is needed to win this. Hard to like
Summary: ROI DE L’AIR (1) was victorious at the last time of asking over 1650m at Amiens albeit in a weak claiming race. His overall form is solid and he might take a ton of beating in this. Strong win choice. ZEYZOUN (5) comes into the race fresh off a victory at Toulouse and it would come as no shock at all, if following up. PIANO MAN (4) has shown some fair form before but the last two deliveries have been a bit below best. Expect better this time and include. GRECIAN STAR (6) has a first four claim.

C8 – PRIX DE LA MEDITERRANEE – 2000m (a1m1/4) – TURF – Class 4 Race – Flat – EUR € 14,000
CADE’S – Has won his last two and will be a serious force to be reckoned with here. Undeniable hat trick chance and cannot be excluded from anything
AGAMEMNON – In tremendous form, won penultimate and followed up with an attractive 2nd over 2900m in a Handicap. Has a strong winning chance
AMARHALEN – Last two placed efforts were encouraging and might well be able to represent some value for the minor positions
LA YOMOGUINESS – Can progress on last run when 5th at Croise-Laroche over 2500m, but will need too. Outside place claims at best
BURWASH – Much better run last time when 3rd over 1900m in a Handicap and can be taken seriously here for another place. Place chance
COMTESSE VERA – Finished 5th over 1850m at Agen in a Handicap last month but will need to do way more than that to feature. Best to overlook
REMIX – Much better run last time when 4th over 1900m in a Handicap. Good each way chance
CORO CHOP – Running well, placed a creditable 2nd over 1900m in Handicap class at Cholet on the 3rd of last month and has a bright chance
FINEHA – She is taking time to win again, finished 4th last time and could lurk into the back end of the quartet but others are preferred
PRINCESSE VERA – Hard to fancy and make a case for on current form and others should be way stronger. Hard to make a case for
Summary: AGAMEMNON (2) is currently in mustard form and looks to be the one they all have to fear the most. His last run over 1900m on the 5th of November was very encouraging. He was a winner before that. The one to beat. CADE’S (1) has won his last two in fine style and has an obvious undeniable hat trick chance. CORO CHOP (8) is taking time to achieve the first victory but current form suggests that the win is near. Big runner with strong each way claims. BURWASH (5) cannot be excluded from any bets and should run into the money positions.
