Summary: LUTIN GEDE (11) shows promise and bounced back from a recent disqualification with a cracking run at Rouen-Mauquenchy last month. If wise again he can go one better over a distance that clearly suits him. LOBELYNE NEW LIFE (6) has yet to win a race and has disqualification issues but did run well when barefoot to finish second at Vincennes and will be a lively danger. LILAS D’ECHAL (7) and L’ATHENIA BELLA (3) have also done enough of late to hold a winning chance.

Summary: KNOCK OUT MAKER (14) has an impressive win-strike rate and has every chance of scoring again. He tries this longer distance for the first time but that should not be a problem. KRUG LOVER (6) was in very good form before faulting at Argentan in December and can contest the finish. Matthieu Abrivard. will get the best out KARLA DE BANVILLE (10) and she is clearly not out of it. KING EVOLUTION (9) goes well for the current driver and might shine as well.

Summary: IGRISONI (11) had bad luck last time out at Vincennes. He has been ready to pick up another success for some time now and gets the nod to score. IDOLE ELDE (5) is at her very best when fully barefoot and that is not the case this time but she should still be a lively danger. IOUPY TOLLEVILLE (10) is in very good form and would not be a surprise winner. HALL BLACK MESS (7) should also be competitive in this line-up.

Summary: JOSELITO DU VIVIER (11) has won five of seven times when fully barefoot. He remains in very good form and should make a bold bid at winning this lucky last race. JOLYDOLE (13) has been disappointing of late and has struggled twice at this track recently. She can be a lively danger on best form, though. JEREMICE MERITE (15) has been in very good form of late and should contest the finish. JUST A DREAM (16) won over this track and trip last time out when barefoot but is not unshod this time.

BRAVO BAY (7) was second that day and has a length and a half to find to make things interesting. The drop back in trip slightly should not inconvenience either.

RUE DE L’ODEON (3) is out of a mare that won and any market support should be an indication of her expected performance. STRAGA (5) is also from a stable that does well with newcomers, she should be monitored in the betting exchanges. AURA (9) is also worth considering.

Summary: DEEP LOVE (7) could be the best prospect in this open claimer. He was a good second two runs back in a claimer and scored before that in a claimer on the PSF in early December. His main threat could be AZ ZEIVA (1) who scored in a claimer on his debut in December and was not quite up to Class 2 level on his only other run. HONNEUR’S ORACLE (13) is one to be with each-way. POWER’S PRINCESS (5) warrants respect and can have a say.

Summary: TITO MO CEN (12) has a taking profile and is out of the smart mare Ravens Lady, who bred Ramatuelle (Gr.1, Gr.2 and Gr.3 winner ). He will be expected to get off the mark on his debut. BEAUVALLON (5) is himself a half-brother to Poetic Flare, who won the English 2,000 guineas and St James Palace Stakes- both Group 1 races and is a leading Stallion. He can be involved.

Summary: CANDELARI (7) won despite doing a lot wrong on his debut over track and trip in early December. He got left at the start and ran green, but when asked to go about his business at the business end of the race he ran away from his rivals. He can follow up from BLACK HAWK (1) who has more experience and has been in good form of late. KAPANI (3) is one to include in all of the place bet permutations. VADIRUM (2) makes up the shortlist.

Summary: BATAVIUS (8) was a decent third last time out late last month and has been placed several times recently. He can get off the mark in this open handicap from ANIELSKA (1) who has to overcome a wide starting position, but will likely be ridden with some patience by Cristian Demuro. IRISH DU GOUET (2) has been lightly raced and shaped well on his handicap debut when he was fourth late last month at Deauville. LARCIN (7) is also worth a mention.

- SANTO – 6th last time out, he won three runs ago over 1900m at Deauville in a handicap on November 29th. One to keep safe
- COMTE NOIR – Won for the first time over 1900m at Deauville in a Class 3 handicap on January 23rd. He outside place claims
- RUBY IN THE ROCKS – Two unplaced runs since a 3rd at Vittel in a handicap over 2100m on August 12th. Faces a stiff task
- LE RAPIDE – Unplaced last time out, 4th before that over 2100m at Mons-Ghlin (BEL) on December 20th. Hardly inspiring credentials
- LIKING – Two unplaced efforts of late, 3rd before that over 2100m at Pornichet on December 29th in a handicap. Unlikely to be involved
- ELKABIER – Three unplaced runs lately, 4th before that over 1600m at Le Mans on May 15th in a handicap. Needs to get back on track
Summary: ELDIO (3) was a pleasing second on the PSF at Cagnes-Sur-Mer late last month in a Class 3 handicap and has a leading chance of getting his second success. He possibly has the most to fear from STARS AND AWAY (4) who got off the mark on her latest start in a handicap at Deauville late in January. ARIGATO (10) is one to be with each way. NOOTKA BAY (6) is another to consider and can be involved at the business end.
SELECTIONS
ELDIO (3) – STARS AND AWAY (4) – ARIGATO (10) – NOOTKA BAY (6)
C8 – PRIX DE PLAILLY – 1600m (a1m) – ALL WEATHER – Class 2 Race – Flat – EUR € 27,000 - ZELMAN – Won over 1400m in a Class 2 handicap at Deauville on his last start 13 days ago. Capable of making an impact
- MATURLO – Fair 4th over 1400m in a Class 2 race at this track on January 16th and 3rd in a Listed race before that at Deauville in early December over 1500m. Player
- APAX – Nice win over 1600m at this track in a Class 2 race on December 20th. Capable of a bold performance
- HELLO COTAI – Three unplaced runs of late, he won before that at Epsom (GBR) over 1700m on September 12th. Needs vast progress to be involved
- ROSETTE – Won over 1500m at Mons-Ghlin (BEL) on February 6th on her last run. This will be more difficult
- DOURIANN – Unplaced last time out, 4th before that over 1800m at Le Croise-Laroche in a Class 1 race on November 16th. Others make more appeal
- SKYLIGHT BROCHARD – Recent win over 1400m at Pau in a Class 3 race on January 17th. Course winner who can make the top three
- GOLD INDEX – 3rd on his latest start over 1900m at this track in a class 2 race on January 16th. He has outside place claims
- QUASAR – Two wins of late, the latter over 1400m in a handicap at this track on December 26th. One to keep safe
- LE NOMADE – 6th last time when not given a bit of a stiff task by his rider, he was 2nd before that over track and trip on December 20th in a Class 2 race and can be on the premises
- CAMIRO – Two unplaced efforts since a 3rd over 1800m at Dortmund (DEU) on January 5th in a conditions race. Unlikely to be involved
- GRAND SON OF CALYX – 6th on his most recent run over 1900m in a Class 2 race at this track. Seems to have hit a dip in form and is best watched for now
- AMABATI – Nice 2nd on debut in October and then a win over 1400m at Deauville on November 8th on his latest run. She looks a promising type although her lack of experience might catch her out
Summary: APAX (3) got back in the winning groove over track and trip in late December on his latest start in a Class 2 race and has a leading chance of following up. LE NOMADE (10) was second that day beaten in a photo finish. He has since finished sixth over 1400m at this track when given plenty to do. Back over the 1600m will be more suitable. MATURLO (2) also has a leading chance and has solid form in decent races of late. QUASAR (9) makes up the shortlist.
