French Selections Saturday 30th

R1 VINCENNES [L-H]

C1 – PRIX D’ORAISON – 2700m (a1m1/2) – Class E Race – Harness – EUR € 35,000

KOWEIT DE CHENU – Last of 15, after suffering interference, in a 3000m Nantes Class B 3.5 weeks ago. Hind shoes off, has been entrusted to Eric Raffin for the first time, and is not incapable of setting the cat among the pigeons
KOBALT – Capable sort that finished 7th of 9, on re-entry, in a 2725m Graignes Class E a week ago. Stays shod though and best to wait
KART HAUFOR – Sanctioned after bumping wheels in a 2850m Class E here on 14 November. Was clearly competitive that day and can set the record straight if Damien Bonne keeps him out of trouble
KSAR VRIE – Unraced since finishing 7th of 8 in a 2850m Class D here on 22 September. Shoes on and no threat
KING D’HERMES – 12th of 13, behind KNOX JENILOU (11), in a 2100m Class E here on 4 November. Still in conditioning mode and cannot be considered a player
KERRO DE HOUELLE – Runner-up to KILIMANDJARO PLAYA (16) in a 2850m Laval Class E 3 weeks ago. Has shown a different side since starting to race barefoot and is plainly close to his race
KLEMS DE JAVIE – 2nd of 11 in a 2200m Vincennes Class E 2.5 weeks ago. Has been knocking at the door but may have to settle for a minor place cheque this time
KAZAN DE VANDEL – Returns to racing barefoot after finishing 8th of 12, behind KILLER DE BEAULIEU (13), in a 2850m Class E here on 14 November. Is plainly better than that but has more to do this time
KEFIR COHIAIS – Ran 5th at Enghien before running a valiant 6th of 13, behind KNOX JENILOU (11), in a 2100m Class E here on 4 November, but even racing barefoot is unlikely to improve on that
KRICK DU GUESCLIN – Excluded in a monté Class E over course and distance 11 days ago. Has references over course and distance in the day’s configuration but others still preferred
KNOX JENILOU – Stayed on well to come 4th of 13 in a 2100m Class E here on 4 November. Is in his category and the change of driver can make all the difference. Place chance
KARMA TEJY – 4th of 12 at 83/1, behind KILLER DE BEAULIEU (13), in a 2850m Class E here on 14 November. Shoes back on and is not about to spring another surprise
KILLER DE BEAULIEU – Decent 3rd of 12 in a 2850m Class E here on 14 November. Takes on a better lot this time though and prospects appear limited
KOOL LUDOIS – Steps back up in class after running 3rd of 9 finishers in a 2850m claimer here a month ago and, in this category, has little chance
KOVES DU PONT – Made it 2 straight when dominating a 2875m Engjien Class E on 27 October. Comes here on a 3-timer and is in with a decent shout of pulling it off
KILIMANDJARO PLAYA – Convincing winner of a 2850m Laval Class E 3 weeks ago. Enjoys a fine entry and can make his Vincennes debut a winning one
Summary: Highly-impressive winner of his last two, KOVES DU PONT (15) makes his first Vincennes appearance since last winter and has a realistic chance of securing the hat-trick. KILIMANDJARO PLAYA (16) however, has been on quite the run lately and, similarly well-engaged, he races first-time barefoot and looks dangerous. KART HAUFOR (3) was most unlucky here mid-month and Damien Bonne will be eager to put things right. Reconfigured for the occasion, KNOX JENILOU (11) is always game, pleased here earlier in the month, and the engagement of Alexandre Abrivard will only work in his favour.
SELECTIONS
KOVES DU PONT (15) – KILIMANDJARO PLAYA (16) – KART HAUFOR (3) – KNOX JENILOU (11)
C2 – PRIX DES DAHLIAS – 2700m (a1m1/2) – Class B Race – Harness – EUR € 43,000
MARZIPAN – Facile winner of a 2050m Cabourg Class D early-October. Will have progressed but may need another outing
MANHATTAN JIEL – Reassuring 3rd of 10 in a 2100m Class C here 11 days ago. Faces a tougher task this time and not a priority
MISTER CHARLY – In the frame in last 2, latterly a 2875m Enghien Class B mid-October. Comes here fresh and although not a contender will still be worth watching
MILORD D’IRAI – Reassured at Graignes before being sanctioned in a 2200m Gr.3 here a week ago, and others easier to trust
MACAREUX DU TRIEUX – Close 2nd to MAESTRO JAMINI (7) in a 2850m Class D here 2.5 weeks ago. Is never easy to handle but on good behaviour can play a small part
MILAN – Drops back in class after finishing 4th of 6 in a 2200m Gr.3 here a week ago. Is better than the result would suggest and is not incapable of finishing close
MAESTRO JAMINI – Quality colt that won a 2850m Class D here 2.5 weeks ago and, given his enormous potential, confirmation is thoroughly possible
MONEY CASH – 4th of 7 despite a bad start, behind MEMPHIS DE BRASSE (12), in a 2200m Class B here on 4 November. Is a serious trotter in the making and will be dangerous if Yoann Lebourgeois assures his initial strides
MAT MANATHIS – By no means disgraced when 5th of 8 finishers in a 2175m Class A here 2 months ago. Has ground to make up but should nevertheless acquit himself honourably
MISTER DU CHOQUEL – Unsure of stride when 5th of 7, behind MEMPHIS DE BRASSE (12), in a 2200m Class B here on 4 November. Has obvious ability but may be biting off too much this time
MACK DE BLARY – Made it 2 in a row when comfortably winning a 2200m Class C here a month ago. Is a colt with enormous potential and can make it 3 in a row
MEMPHIS DE BRASSE – Opened his account at Enghien before coming 3rd of 7 in a 2200m Class B here on 4 November. Is improving with every run and takes to the main track with legitimate ambition on a place in the frame
MAGICO DE LOU – Well-beaten 5th of 6, a place behind MILAN (6), in a 2200m Gr.3 here a week ago. Has references over the main track but others still preferred
Summary: Winner in the provinces before confirming over 2200m here a month ago, MACK DE BLARY (11) makes his main-track debut with home hat-trick expectations high. He will still cone under pressure from the similarly-progressive MAESTRO JAMINI (7) who has been a thorough professional so far, and MEMPHIS DE BRASSE (12) who imposed at Enghien before giving a good account over the inner course. MONEY CASH (8) is significantly better than his recent performance would suggest and can play a leading role if he gets off on the right foot.

C3 – PRIX DOYNEL DE SAINT-QUENTIN – 2850m (a2m) – Gr2 Race – Harness – EUR € 120,000
JACK TONIC – Has not been seen out since finishing 10th of 15 in 3000m Gr.1 Criterium des 5 Ans mid-September. Has won at this level but others still preferred
J’AIME LE FOOT – 11th of 14 when prepping for this in a 3000m Nantes Gr.3 on 6 November. Is a tough individual when focused and, with Eric Raffin in the bike, should acquit himself competitively
JUSTIN BOLD – Returns to racing with 4 pads after finishing 9th of 12 in a 2100m Gr.2 here 3 weeks ago. Will have come on for the run and can hold his own
JUNINHO DRY – 11th of 14, when being conditioned, in a 3000m Nantes Gr.3 on 6 November, and even with front shoes off is unlikely to shake things up
JUSHUA TREE – Made short work of a 2100m Gr.2 here 3 weeks ago. Has no real opposition and should make this his own
JOVIALITY (SWE) – Makes first start since finishing 7th of 8 over a mile in Halmstad last July. Has done little work according to her trainer but still has the class to finish in the mix
Summary: Commanding winner of the Gr.2 Prix Marcel Laurent here 3 weeks ago, JUSHUA TREE (5) re-established his credentials as the leader of his generation and will take some beating. Prix d’Amerique 3rd, JOVIALITY (SWE) (6) returns shod to Vincennes but can still play a prominent role. Better in reality than he is on paper, J’AIME LE FOOT (2) is reconfigured for the occasion and can pick up a place cheque.

C4 – PRIX DE MIRAMBEAU – 2700m (a1m1/2) – Class B Race – Harness – EUR € 52,000
KIKA JOSSELYN – 6th of 15, despite faulting early, in a 2750m Class B at Les Sables-d’Olonne on 21 October. Is competitively-shod and eminently capable of shaking things up
KINGA SUPREME – Starts for first time since finishing last of 9 in a Class B over course and distance on 19 September. Shoes on and no danger
KEY LADY – Quality filly that came 10th of 15, on re-entry, in a 2825m Class B at Le Croise-Laroche on 1 November. Won her last 2 here and can get back on the victory-train
KELLY JANE – Tenacious winner of a Class D over course and distance a month ago. Is unlikely to repeat but must nevertheless be taken seriously
KATE MESLOISE – Back in competition-mode after finishing last but one in a 2800m Vire Class B on 27 October. Has won twice over course and distance and, with application, will have a good hand to play
KOSANOSTRA – Showed her form despite being sanctioned in a 2750m Class B at Les Sables-d’Olonne on 21 October. Hard to knock when barefoot and focused, and must not be too hastily-condemned. First 5
KIVALA RENARDIER – Showed improvement when 5th of 15 in a 3000m Nantes Class B earlier in the month, but still has considerable ground to make up
KRACKMANIA – 8th of 15, behind KIVALA RENARDIER (7), in a 3000m Nantes Class B conditioner earlier in the month. Shoeless this time and although capable, still has more to find
KISS ME DE NAVARY – Good, consistent type returning to Paris after coming 4th of 15 in a 2825m Class B at Le Croise-Laroche on 1 November. Consistently gives her best but represents no more than a minor place prospect this time
KATINKA AIMEF – Sanctioned in a 2850m monté Class B here 8 days ago. Has other priorities and can be passed over
KANAKA DE BUSSET – 13th of 15, behind KIVALA RENARDIER (7), in a 3000m Nantes Class B conditioner earlier in the month. Is barefoot this time but still looks out of her depth
KAVALA DE PADD – Serious filly that was sanctioned, on re-entry, in a 2800m Vire Class B on 27 October. Boasts excellent references when fitted with front pads and can bring the fight to KASH LADY (13)
KASH LADY – Won here in September before coming 2nd of 11 in a 2100m Class C here on 25 October. Excels with Eric Raffin and can open her winter account
KOUVOLA – Unseen since easily winning a 2875m Enghien monté Class D last August. Sports 4 pads for the occasion and, while not a priority, will still be worth monitoring
KONFINEE – Makes first start since being sanctioned in a 2550m Reims Class B mid-September. Races barefoot but is likely to be race-rusty
Summary: KASH LADY (13) beat the good Destiny Di Poggio here before coming 2nd in a Class C late last month and, thriving with her new partner, can impose this time. Eric Raffin will still be keeping a watchful eye on the classy KAVALA DE PADD (12) who is shod to preference for her first goal of the winter meeting, and the talented KEY LADY (3) who is barefoot following her early-November conditioner. KIKA JOSSELYN (1) sports a new formula and has yet to be defeated under the day’s conditions.

C5 – PRIX DE LA BRESSE – 2700m (a1m1/2) – Class B Race – Harness – EUR € 52,000
LORD DELO – Raced better in a Class D over course and distance mid-month than his 8th of 11 would suggest. Is well-regarded at home and it will not be long before he comes good. Attention
L’AMOUR SUPREME – 11th of 13, when being conditioned, in a 3000m Nantes Class B on 6 November. Has yet to be defeated when sporting hind pads and Théo Duvaldestin will be determined to keep that record intact
LE SAP – Undefeated in 4 starts to date. Unseen however since winning a Class C over course and distance last June and best to hold off
LUXOR DE VILLABON – 8th of 10 in a 2950m Toulouse Class A on 22 November. Has looked very ordinary lately and is unlikely to garner much support
LORD DE BANVILLE – Drops in category after finishing 7th of 8 in a Class A over course and distance 8 days ago, but still looks out of his depth
LUTIN VENESI – Won over the short course before being sanctioned in a 2175m Class B here 3 weeks ago. Takes on a good bunch and is unlikely to influence the result
LANSKY VALLEE – 5th of 7 finishers, a place behind LAMONT DU DOUET (13), in a 2175m Class B here 3 weeks ago. Is considerably better than that and can make amends if Eric Raffin keeps him out of trouble
LORD DES FANES – Won at Parilly before faulting in 8 November race of reference. Is clearly on a fine run of form and will not be far from the action if he keeps trotting
LOUISON – 4th of 7 finishers, a place behind LAMONT DU DOUET (13), in a 2175m Class B here 3 weeks ago. Is sure to give his everything once again but cannot be considered more than a minor place chance
LOVE GLYCINES – 3rd of 9 in a 2875m Argentan Class A on 3 November. Enjoys a good entry and Franck Nivard will be eager to capitalise. Claim
LOBBING DE BLARY – Sanctioned after meeting traffic problems in a 2175m Class B here 3 weeks ago, but must nevertheless re-establish his credentials
LEADER DU POMMEAU – Sanctioned, on return to competition, in a Class A over course and distance 8 days ago. Has never delivered over the main track but the Alexandre Abrivard-factor cannot be ignored
LAMONT DU DOUET – 3rd over track and trip before coming 3rd of 7 finishers, at 59/1, in a 2175m Class B here 3 weeks ago. Unlikely to repeat but will still have his supporters
Summary: Dynamic in the provinces before being sent for a rest, LOVE GLYCINES (10) showed sufficient at Argentan last time to be considered a serious contender here. Franck Nivard will nonetheless be justifiably wary of L’AMOUR SUPREME (2) who takes on the first stage of his winter programme with hind pads fitted and a good hand to play, and LORD DELO (1) who was not the most fortunate here mid-month. LANSKY VALLEE (7) would have finished in the mix last time had he not faulted and Eric Raffin will be keen to set the record straight.

C6 – PRIX DE SAINT-GEORGES DE DIDONNE – 2850m (a2m) – Class D Race – Harness – EUR € 59,000
GOOD FRIEND – Last of 15, behind HAMIGO (8), in a 2675m Class F at Le Mont-Saint-Michel 2 weeks ago, and has no possible chance
GAROU LIONNAIS – 3rd of 10 in a 2500m amateurs Class F at La Rochelle 3 weeks ago. Front shoes off but can still expect to find himself outclassed
HERMES DE CLOPEAU – Made up for his Parilly blip when 2nd of 11 in a 2625m Cherbourg Class F last Sunday. Pitted against a better lot on this occasion but, with some luck in running, can get a look-in
HALADIN D’ARGENT – Runner-up in last 2, latterly a 2800m Auch Class F on 11 November. Enjoys a front-row break and can figure prominently at the business end of affairs
GREAT KILLS – Unexceptional 6th of 13, a place behind HORACIO DE CERISY (6), in a 3300m Chartres Class F a fortnight ago, and is unlikely to cause an upset
HORACIO DE CERISY – 4th over course and distance before coming 3rd of 13 in a 3300m Chartres Class F a fortnight ago. Benjamin Rochard takes over and, from front row, should not be far from the action
HADES DE L’ITON – Winner of both since the spell, latterly a 2750m Toulouse Class F on 28 October, and will be competitive once more
HAMIGO – Placed in both since the summer break, most recently 2nd of 15 in a 2675m Class F at Le Mont-Saint-Michel a fortnight ago. Has no Vincennes references but the opportunity is too good to ignore. Chance
HALL BLACK MESS – Reassuring 4th of 13, a place behind HORACIO DE CERISY (6), in a 3300m Chartres Class F a fortnight ago. Has not delivered at Vincennes for 2 years though and is not about to start now
FILOU DE LARRE – Reliable sort that finished 3rd of 14 in a 2850m Class D here on 25 October. Incurs the penalty once more but thrives under these conditions and will be no pushover
HARISON DU PLESSIS – Secured the hat-trick in a 2775m Class D at les Sables on 21 October. Simply excels with Eric Raffin and, despite the handicap, still looks the horse to beat
HOLLYWOOD DU BOIS – Quality element that ran 2nd of 9 in a 3000m Nantes monté Class D on 6 November. Has been knocking at the door in both codes and, despite a 25m penalty, still looks competitive for a place cheque
HASARD D’ERABLE – Ran 2nd at Enghien before coming 5th of 16 in a 2200m Caen Class B on 20 October. Races shod this time though and best to hold off
HANNAH – Last of 14, when being conditioned, in a 2100m Class B here on 5 November. Is better in the other code but enjoys an excellent entry, and racing barefoot will do her chances no disservice
Summary: Unbeaten in his last 3 starts and never disappointing at Vincennes, HARISON DU PLESSIS (11) returns to Paris with a realistic chance of pulling off the 4-timer. That said, HAMIGO (8) has been firing on all cylinders since returning to competition and will be barefoot and 25m better off. HADES DE L’ITON (7) is like a horse reborn and securing the hat-trick is not beyond his capacity. HORACIO DE CERISY (6) is patently close to his race and is not to be underestimated.

C7 – PRIX RAOUL BALLIERE – 2175m (a1m1/4) – Gr2 Race – Mounted – EUR € 120,000
LA SEGNORA PIYA – Won 2 of last 3, most recently a Class D over course and distance, with authority, on 18 November, but is just being aimed a bit too high this time
LISBONNE DRY – Pleasant 4th of 11 in a 2700m Gr.2 here a month ago. Unlikely to repeat but should nevertheless hold her own
LABEL DE TILLARD – Sanctioned in last 2, latterly a 2700m Gr.3 here on 21 November, and has no possible chance
LEGENDE DU GOUTIER – Takes a big step up the category-ladder after coming 3rd of 9 to LONG ISLAND (7) in a 2700m Class B here 2.5 weeks ago, and may just have too much to do this time
LOCHAN – 4th in Gr.1 Saint-Léger des Trotteurs before finishing 5th of 9 in a 2700m Gr.3 here 9 days ago. Is significantly more capable than that and improvement anticipated
LUZ FATALE – Just headed by LONG ISLAND (7) in a 2700m Class B here 2.5 weeks ago. Has yet to make her mark in this category however, and others preferred
LONG ISLAND – Winner of both ridden starts so far, latterly a 2700m Class B 2.5 weeks ago. Takes a notable step up in class but is a serious horse with a lot more to give. Chance
LIBERTINE DJOB – 5th of 9, a place behind LOCHAN (5), in a 2700m Gr.3 here 9 days ago. Has previously raced and placed under these conditions but current numbers just don’t add up
LOVE LETTER – Makes first start in the code after finishing a lacklustre 7th of 10 in a 2700m harness Gr.3 here 3 weeks ago. Shoes on but cannot be considered more than a minor place prospect
LYZIA DES AGETS – Was preparing for this when last of 12 in a 2700m harness Gr.2 a fortnight ago. Gr.2 winner on her only start under these conditions, sports pads for the occasion, and if focused can make her mark
LUCKY SIBEY – Back under the saddle after running 11th of 12 in a 2700m harness Gr.2 conditioner here a fortnight ago. Reunited with jockey of choice and can start to put things right
LUCKY JACKSON – Takes first competitive steps in the code after running 5th of 12 in a 2700m harness Gr.2 here a fortnight ago and with a leading pilot onboard, will be afforded every chance
LUTIN DES BORDES – Putting on the final touches when last of 12 in a harness Gr.2 over course and distance 2 weeks ago. Boasts form at the highest level and can impose
Summary: Group 2 winner on his only start over 2175m, LUTIN DES BORDES (13) returns to his code of preference, with front pads fitted, and may just have the edge over the progressive LONG ISLAND (7) who has been a revelation since switching disciplines. Although not as sharp recently as he was in the spring, LUCKY SIBEY (11) is reunited with Eric Raffin who has won 3 times with him at Vincennes. Reconfigured for his monté debut, LUCKY JACKSON (12) has been entrusted to Alexandre Abrivard and is unlikely to disappoint.

C8 – PRIX DE MARENNES-OLERON – 2700m (a1m1/2) – Class E Race – Harness – EUR € 41,000
JABIRU BOY – Showed his form despite being sanctioned, when odds-on favourite, in a 2100m Class F here on 4 November, and Eric Raffin will be eager to set the record straight. Chance
JACKSON HAUFOR – Winner of a 2100m Class F here on 4 November before losing the race in the stewards’ room. Is clearly at his best though and can redeem himself if his driver keeps him out of trouble
JURASSIC MOIRE – Excluded in last 3, most recently a 2850m Laval Class E 3 weeks ago, and will have few friends
JASMIN VIVANCIERE – Encouraged here last month before finishing 7th of 9 in a 2850m Laval Class A 2 weeks ago. Sports a new configuration but still not a priority
JERRY DE L’ERDRE – Ran well at Saumur before being sanctioned in a 2100m Class F here on 4 November. Shoes back on and can be ruled out
JAMAIS – Excellent 3rd of 13, on return to competition, in a 2875m Enghien Class E late last month. Will have come on for the run and looks a serious proposition
JUST DU CHATELET – Consistent sort that ran 3rd of 10 to JARDIN DU ROI (16) in a 2450m Caen Class F 3 weeks ago. Has no left-handed references however and may struggle to make his mark
JAGUAR D’HERMES – In the frame in last 2, latterly 3rd of 8 finishers in a 2100m Class F here on 4 November, but a repeat seems unlikely
JEAN D’HOLLENBOURG – Got back in the winners’ circle after comfortably securing a 2750m Toulouse Class F 10 days ago, and returns to Paris with a decent chance of making first 5
JET NONANTAIS – Very hard to fault this term, most recently 4th of 15, behind JUST DU CHATELET (7), in a 2750m cabourg Class E on 24 November. Barefoot for metropolitan debut but probably no more than a minor place prospect
JUMBO JACK – Failed to live up to expectations when 7th of 15, behind JASMIN VIVANCIERE (4), in a Class E over course and distance early last month. Has been afforded time to get his ducks in a row though and can get a look-in
JAG HAUFOR – 9th of 11 when preparing for this in a Class D over course and distance mid-month. Boasts a super record when barefoot and looks the pick of the field
JEANNOT BUISSONAY – Easy winner of a 2675m Class F at Le Mont-Saint-Michel on 3 November. Tough nut to crack when barefoot but, in this category, will need to find more
JOURNEY – Makes Vincennes debut after running 5th of 14 in a 2850m Feurs Class E a month ago. Is highly versatile and will not be far from the action if he takes to the new conditions
JUSTIFY MY LOVE – Sanctioned in last 2, latterly a 2850m Parilly Class A 2 weeks ago. Is in form but others still easier to trust
JARDIN DU ROI – Failed to confirm Caen success when sanctioned in a 2625m Cherbourg Class F last Sunday. Has evident ability, and is well-engaged, but still seems to be taking on too much
Summary: With 2 runs under his belt after a well-deserved rest, JAG HAUFOR (12) races barefoot under conditions he appreciates and can get straight down to business. He will still meet resistance from JAMAIS (6) who went close on his seasonal re-entry, and the talented JABIRU BOY (1) who quickly lost his action here last time. JACKSON HAUFOR (2) won that day before falling foul of the stewards, and Paul Ploquin looks to have picked up a bonus drive.

JIRELLITA – Sanctioned in a 2100m Class D here last Wednesday. Form is not in question and will have her chances if Christopher Corbineau manages to keep her focused
JUNE DE RODREY – Starts for first time since finishing 9th of 13 in a Class D over course and distance in early-September, and can be confidently passed over
JOCE JISCE – Sanctioned in a 2825m Class A at Le Croisé-Laroche 3 weeks ago. Off the boil for some time though and chances slim
JAD DE CALIX – Reassuring 3rd of 7 finishers in a Class D over track and trip 8 days ago but, in this company, will struggle to make his presence felt
JAZZY THOURJAN – Unraced since finishing 10th of 13 in a Class D over course and distance in early-September. Reconfigured this time but still not easy to recommend
JOAO DE VANDEL – Sanctioned on re-entry in a 2650m Vivaux Class B on 3 November. Has bags of ability, has previously won over the main track, and must be afforded respect
JADE DE CASTELLE – 2nd of 8 to JESTA BUISSONAY (10) in a Class D over course and distance 12 days ago. Unlikely to impose but can still finish in the mix
JOY FOR US – Drops in class after finishing 5th of 6 in a 2700m Gr.2 here on 25 November, but still seems to have too much to do
JACQUARD – Last but one, when preparing for this, in a 2625m Class D at La Rochelle 3 weeks ago, and fully-fit by now, should have this in the bag
JESTA BUISSONAY – Left quite the impression when dominating a Class D under these conditions 12 days ago and, if applied, could well double her money
JAGUAR DU FAN – Debuts under the saddle after running 5th of 15 in a Class C over course and distance a month ago. Enjoys a good entry and, if form transitions, can get in on the action
Summary: Unbeaten in 2 starts under the saddle, both over course and distance, JACQUARD (9) goes shoeless for his first objective of the year, and should be able to keep his perfect record intact. Leading the opposition are the complicated but clearly capable, and barefoot, JIRELLITA (1) who will be no pushover if she deigns to stay in stride, and JESTA BUISSONAY (10) who recently won her monté debut with absolute ease. JADE DE CASTELLE (7) came a beaten but reassuring 2nd to her that day and can again challenge for a place in the frame.

R2 LIGNIERES [LIGNIERES]

C1 – PRIX SOURCE BADOIT – 1600m (a1m) – TURF – Maiden Race – Flat – EUR € 12,500

TEPITO – Unplaced (9th) over 1200m on debut at Marseille-Borély on 10 May. Open to improvement on his comeback
DIEGO D’ARTOIS – Soundly beaten (11th) on debut in a claimer at Le Croisé-Laroche over 1800m on 16 November. Just watch for now
RASTRELLARE – Consistent colt whose form and experience will stand him in good stead. Proved his form and well-being by finishing a good 3rd at Fontainebleau over 1600m on 14 November – races with headgear for the first time
ACTO – Hasn’t been seen since finishing a good 5th on debut over 1600m at Clairefontaine-Deauville on 16 August. Finished on the heels of RASTRELLARE (3) and should again have a role to play on his reappearance
THE WASP – Well-beaten 12th on debut at Vichy over 1600m on 24 September. Best watched for now on her return
BAI TU LONG – Caught the eye (3rd) on debut in July but failed to confirm that promise when only 11th in a 1400m claimer at Mont-de-Marsan on 25 August. Absent but remains open to improvement

MIEUX QUE PAPA – Failed to confirm the form/improvement of her 4th at Vichy over 1600m in September when finishing 9th at Strasbourg over 2000m on 6 October. Needs to reaffirm
METS LE FEU – Nicolas de Lageneste-trained Zelzal colt out of lightly raced mare World Peace who wasn’t devoid of ability. Respected on debut with Clément Lecoeuvre booked to ride

FAJING – Augustin Madamet rides this Mickaël Seror-trained newcomer, a Tai Chi filly closely German Listed winner Armance. Not taken lightly on debut
Summary: RASTRELLARE (3) won’t be a maiden for too long and, given his form and experience, this represents an ideal opportunity for him to open his account. However, he’ll have to thwart the expected challenge of returning ACTO (4) who didn’t finish a long way adrift of the selection on debut at Clairefontaine in mid-August. FELICIA STORM (8) improved to finish 5th last time and will make her presence felt if she can build on that progress. Newcomers FAJING (13), CRYSTAL SKY (12) and METS LE FEU (11) aren’t taken lightly on debut.

LIBERTY FLY – Finished a well-beaten 8th over 2400m at Paray-le-Monial on 10 November. Unlikely to trouble the judge
LOLIPOP ROCK – A 3-start maiden who has twice finished 7th, on debut at Argentan last month and over 2300m at Angers on 11 November. Improvement needed
LE BON SAMARITAIN – Didn’t go unnoticed (wasn’t beaten far) on debut at Le Mans – finished 4th over 3200m on 2 November. Will be wiser to the task and should have a role to play
LUIGI DE LAFAYETTE – Failed to confirm the form/improvement of his 3rd at Nancy over 2500m in late September when only 5th over 3200m at Le Mans on 2 November. Best watched for now

L’AMAZONE – Built on the encouragement of her debut 6th in early September to finish an improved 4th at Moulins over 2400m on 21 September. Further progress is expected
Summary: LORIKO (1) and L’UNIQUE APPLE’S (9) made encouraging starts to their careers and they needn’t improve much to play leading roles. The former finished 2nd on debut and is good value to go one better. LE BON SAMARITAIN (4) will know more about it after a pleasing debut at Le Mans behind LORIKO (1), improving L’AMAZONE (10) and returning LUTECE D’ARTHEL (8) complete the shortlist.

KESSERA RECONCE – Lightly raced filly with the form and experience to play a leading role – boasts sound references/form credentials, including a last-start 3rd over 3000m at Paray-le-Monial on 10 November. Keep safe
KHERTY – Made encouraging improvement when finishing 4th over 3000m at Nancy on 29 September and remains open to further progress. Not taken lightly

KATE DES PLAGES – Finished an encouraging 4th on debut at Machecoul over 2950m on 3 November. Ought to confirm the promise of that introduction with that experience under her belt
JOLKA – Unplaced in 3 appearances, the latest a well-beaten 8th over 3000m at Paray-le-Monial on 10 November. Unlikely to trouble the judge
JALUCINE DIT – Took a step in the right direction after a modest debut (11th) to finish an improved 6th over 2400m at La Roche-Posay on 25 June. Absent since but open to improvement on her reappearance
Summary: KELIJOE (3) had the measure of KOOKAI BELLEVUE (2) in a recent meeting at Durtal and should confirm his superiority. KATE DES PLAGES (8) could pose more of a threat to the selection if building on the promise of her encouraging (4th) Machecoul debut early this month. KAFKAIENNE (7), despite his absence since 15 August, lightly raced filly KESSERA RECONCE (4) and KHERTY (5) appeal most of the remainder.

KAUTO BY ROBIN – Showed enough to work with when finishing 7th on debut over 2250m at Niort on 20 October. Can get a look in here with improvement expected

TERRA MADRE – Giovanni Sias rides this attractively bred Stephanie Haesmans-trained Cloth Of Stars filly on debut. Will appeal to lovers of outsiders
Summary: Despite finishing unplaced on debut, NATURAL SPIRIT (15) and ZYMEK (2) would’ve benefitted from those outings. Both should have more to offer with that experience under their belts so they could find themselves fighting out the finish. Newcomer LE KARMA (10), who is related to several winners, and L’ACADIANE (17), another likely to improve after an introductory outing, aren’t taken lightly and may well join that fight for victory. Anne-Sophie Pacault-trained newcomers ROI DU REVE (7) and ROGATIEN (8) shouldn’t be underestimated either.

Summary: LE CHAT BOTTE (11) has been in good shape recently with a win two starts ago at Amiens earlier this month and he followed that up with a pleasing third 10 days ago at Deauville. He can win from BELLA CIAO (12) who is also consistent and has not been out of the first three on her last four starts. LA PALOMBIERE (14) is one to include in all of the place bet permutations. CHONATA (9) has claims to make the top four.

Summary: STORMY NIGHT (2) looks like the best option in this open handicap. She was a decent second in a competitive Class 3 handicap when last seen earlier this month. LOKI (3) can keep the selection honest and was a pleasing third at this track over 1600m at the start of this month. TIMBALLINA (6) is a sensible option for the each-way backers to be with, she was a credible second at Lyon Parilly recently. MOMO NELSON (5) looks best of the rest.

KISS KISS (4) arrives after two good-placed efforts over fences, the latest at Compiegne earlier this month. She can feature. KING LE DUN (2) won a handicap chase last time at Compiegne earlier this month and can have a say in proceedings. MEME PAS KAP (3) was third in the Compiegne race and on better terms she can be competitive.

Summary: DINOZAURE (7) can go one better than his latest run when he ran at this track in mid-November in a similar type of race. JARDIN SECRET (1) has top weight to deal with but can win a race of this nature despite that burden. MILORD DU LEMO (5) was sixth in a handicap hurdle last time and has claims each way.

Her main threat could be KISS LANGY (10) who was third in a Listed hurdle on her latest outing in late October. She won a Listed chase in June at this track.
