R1 VINCENNES [L-H]
C1 – PRIX DE VIRE NORMANDIE – 2200m (a1m1/2) – Class B Race – Mounted – EUR € 43,000
- MELODY DE VIVOIN – Honest filly that came a courageous 4th of 7 finishers in a Class D over course and distance earlier in the month but bites off more than she can chew on this occasion
- MAGNOLIADARCHE – 4th of 7 finishers behind MESSI PASS (3) in a 2700m Class C here on 1 February. Has evident ability but is unlikely to cause an upset
- MESSI PASS – Drops back in class after running 4th of 8 in a Gr.3 under these conditions 2 weeks ago. Has significant ability and will be no pushover if Adrien Lamy manages to keep him trotting
- MEPHISTO DU CLOS – In the frame in all three to date, latterly 3rd of 11 to MELANCHOLY MAN (8) in a Class D over course and distance 2.5 weeks ago. Has ground to make up but is not about to go down without a fight. First 5
- MELISSE DES EPINES – Serious filly making first start since dominating a Class D over track and trip late-December, on first appearance in the code. Takes on a better lot this time but still has the wherewithal to finish in the mix
- MANITAS DE TRUCHON – Failed to confirm early-February success when sanctioned in a 2950m Toulouse harness Class C on 19 February. Anthony Barrier aboard for ridden debut and will have her chances if he gets her off on the right foot
- MENTALIST AR – Produced career-best performance when 2nd of 11 to MELANCHOLY MAN (8) in a Class D over course and distance 2.5 weeks ago. At this level though is unlikely to spring any surprises
- MELANCHOLY MAN – Showed a different side to himself when dominating a Class D over course and distance 2.5 weeks ago. Has a lot more to offer and even at this level can repeat
- MAESTRO DE JOUDES – 4th of 11 in a 2100m harness claimer here a week ago. Boasts respectable ridden references but would have better prospects at a lower level
- MISS DE LA COTE – Back over the inner track after coming 3rd of 10 in a 2700m harness Class A here 3 weeks ago. Is close to her race and unlikely to disappoint
- MARINA ELLIS – Has not been seen out since running 8th of 12 in a 2700m harness Class B here in early-December. Debuts fresh under the saddle but others still preferred
Summary: Easy winner under these conditions earlier in the month, MELANCHOLY MAN (8) steps up in category but is still improving, and Mathieu Mottier will be eyeing the double. Sanctioned on that occasion before reassuring in a Gr.3 a few days later, MESSI PASS (3) will be dangerous if focused, as will tricky monté debutante MANITAS DE TRUCHON (6) who left a good impression despite faulting at Toulouse last week. MISS DE LA COTE (10) has been a model of consistency and makes her ridden bow with a good hand to play.

C2 – PRIX EMILE ALLIX COURBOY – 2700m (a1m1/2) – Class B Race – Harness – EUR € 75,000 - GINKGO THELOIS – 9th of 11 behind HERADAMES (2) in a Class B over track and trip 2 weeks ago and will need to show a completely different side
- HERADAMES – Held his own to come 5th of 11 in a Class B under these conditions 2 weeks ago. Has nothing to prove over track and trip and has a realistic chance of making first 5
- IDEAL DU ROCHER – Serious trotter making first start since running 4th of 12 in a 2700m Grenade Gr.3 last August. Shoes on and no threat
- GIRL DE BASSIERE – Sanctioned when unsupported in a 2925m Cagnes Class B on 22 January and returns to Paris with nothing to contribute
- COQUAHOLY – Unraced since finishing 13th of 16 in a 2100m Class A here on 5 December. Has solid references over 2700m here, will have come on for the run, but still no more than a minor place chance
- SELF EXPLOSIVE – Has not been seen out since comfortably winning a 2100m Class B here mid-December. Goes barefoot with Alexandre Abrivard reining and although better over shorter, can still play a prominent part
- INVICTUS MADIBA – Faithful sort that came 3rd of 13 to WORKING CLASS HERO (8) in a 2100m Gr.3 a month ago. Unlikely to repeat but may just be worth retaining for that small surprise
- WORKING CLASS HERO – Classy 6yo that ran 5th of 13 in 2100m Gr.1 Prix de France here on 9 February. More than held his own against older horses that day and can do so again. Claim
- GOAL STAR – 3rd of 13, a place behind HARMONISTA (10), in a 2850m Class A here 10 days ago. Seldom lets the side down in this category and has a realistic chance of finishing in the thick of things
- HARMONISTA – Won over 2100m here a month ago before coming 2nd of 13 in a 2850m Class A here 10 days ago. Clearly close to her race and will be expected to finish in first 3
- IGUSKI SAUTONNE – Ran a reassuringly-good 4th of 13 behind HARMONISTA (10) in a 2850m Class A here 10 days ago. Put in quite the finish that day and, if still firing on all cylinders, can contest the finish
Summary: Excellent in the Gr.1 Prix de France despite encountering traffic problems, WORKING CLASS HERO (8) has excelled this winter and looks the pick of the field. Mathieu Mottier will still want to be wary of the reinvigorated and ideally-entered IGUSKI SAUTONNE (11) who is eminently capable of turning the tables on the in-form HARMONISTA (10), and the handy GOAL STAR (9) who finished ahead of him here last week.

C3 – PRIX D’ALENCON – 2175m (a1m1/4) – Class D Race – Mounted – EUR € 59,000 - CHEYENNE LUX – 5th of 9 finishers in a Class D over course and distance 2.5 weeks ago, first time under the saddle. Will have progressed for the run, Adrien Lamy in the saddle this time, and must be considered a player
- STACCATO HL – Surprisingly sanctioned over 2100m at Wolvega 2 weeks ago. Has otherwise taken superbly to his new vocation and will be expected to give ILLUSIVE GLORY (8) a run for her money
- HANA D’OCCAGNES – Back in the discipline after running 6th of 11 in a 2700m harness claimer here 11 days ago, and is not about to cause an upset
- IGNACE GUENESERIE – Returns to Vincennes after running 4th of 11 in a 2850m Laval Class E mid-month. Consistently gives his best but still no more than a minor place chance
- KATE BALDWIN – Made it 2 straight harness wins when successful over 2100m at Mönchengladbach 3.5 weeks ago. Has placed just once under the saddle at Vincennes though and even racing barefoot, looks an outsider
- HIRO DE L’ORMERIE – Unremarkable 6th of 9 in a 2850m Class D here last week. Is proven under these conditions though and will not be too far from the action if he can replicate his penultimate performance
- GREYSON – Sanctioned in a 2850m Mauquenchy harness Class E last Tuesday and returns to the ridden code with little to contribute
- ILLUSIVE GLORY – Met no opposition en route to victory in a 2700m Class C here 10 days ago. Alexandre Abrivard in the saddle this time and will be expected to continue the good work. Claim
- G.K.JUSTUS – Flew up in a 2100m harness Class D here early this month. Unseen under the saddle for 14 months but has already won twice here for Pierre-Yves Verva and confirmation is not out of the question
Summary: A fine servant in this branch of the business, ILLUSIVE GLORY (8) won like a good thing here 10 days ago and drops in distance with every chance of doubling her money. Less-experienced but no less capable under the saddle, STACCATO HL (2) did not miss out by much here on New Year’s Eve and Paul Ploquin will be keen to ensure his charge bridges that gap. G.K.JUSTUS (9) enjoys a good entry, recently won under harness, and must be respected on his return to the discipline. CHEYENNE LUX (1) gave a very good account on his recent monté bow and, reconfigured for the occasion, has a decent shot of making the frame.

C4 – PRIX DE NORT SUR ERDRE – 2700m (a1m1/2) – Class E Race – Mounted – EUR € 41,000 - ETOILE DU OZ – Failed to confirm San Siro victory when 9th of 16 in a harness Class E under these conditions on 12 February. Races barefoot for monte bow but still has nothing to offer
- KINGALO DU CHENE – Never at his ease when sanctioned in a 2850m Class C here last week. Will be race-fit though and, sporting a new configuration, looks competitively well-in
- KA FACTOR – Pleasant 4th of 11 in a 2625m Agen Class E 2.5 weeks ago. Is still in conditioning-mode though and best to hold off
- KRACK CLEA – Back under the saddle after running 2nd of 16 in a 3000m Nantes harness Class E last Saturday. Ran 2nd under these conditions with Guillaume Martin on New Year’s Eve and merits respect
- KILLER VICTORY – Last of 9 behind KIKI DU ROC (8) in a 2175m Class D here on 9 February. Has struggled to find any semblance of form and can be confidently passed over
- JACAR DE LA DIVES – 5th of 9 finishers in a 2725m Graignes harness Class F 3.5 weeks ago. Barefoot for ridden debut but still not a concern
- KALIMERO JASMA – Won a 2175m Class D here on 9 February before losing it in stewards’ room. Tough nut when barefoot and focused and Benjamin Rochard will be intent on setting the record straight
- KIKI DU ROC – Rather flattering 4th of 9 finishers in a 2175m Class D here on 9 February. Has merit but others still easier to support
- KARA D’OR – Good campaigner for the most part but could finish no closer than 5th of 16 in a harness Class D here 2.5 weeks ago. Sports a new configuration though and debuts in the discipline with a decent hand to play
- JAMY – Quickly sanctioned in a Class E over course and distance on 12 February. Is complicated but has ample ability and, on good behaviour, will be competitive for a first-3 spot
- DEE GODFATHER – Did not miss out by much when 2nd, then sanctioned, in a Class E over track and trip on 12 February. Enjoys a fine entry and, on good behaviour, can make this his own
- KLASSIC FROMENTRO – Drops back in category after finishing 5th of 10 in a 2850m Class C here last week. Terrifically-entered here and must be regarded a serious player
- JASMINE DE NEUVY – Classy but complicated mare making first appearance since faulting in a 2875m Enghien Class D last August. Has previously won here in the day’s configuration but prospects somewhat limited this time around
Summary: Unbeaten in 2 ridden starts at home in Sweden, DEE GODFATHER (11) ran 2nd over course and distance earlier in the month only to be subsequently sanctioned, but he is shod to preference this time, with Mathieu Mottier in the irons, and will be expected to put things right. KALIMERO JASMA (7), on the other hand, flew up here before being disqualified, and Benjamin Rochard will be intent on redemption. A 2700m winner here last month, KLASSIC FROMENTRO (12) is ideally-engaged and will justifiably garner support. Seldom far off the mark when focused, JAMY (10) will be thereabouts at the finish provided Alexandre Abrivard can keep him focused.

C5 – PRIX DE LUNEVILLE – 2850m (a2m) – Class C Race – Harness – EUR € 53,000 - OSCAR VAN HALBEEK – 4th in 17 February race of reference. Has not put a foot wrong all winter but appears to be taking on too much this time
- DENCO’S GALLIANO – 8th of 9 finishers to DIE HARD (ITY) (3) in a Class D over course and distance on 17 February. Has yet to show a liking for Vincennes and others preferred
- DIE HARD (ITY) – Impressive Class D course-and-distance winner on 17 February. Steps up in category but, if still on the boil, can play a prominent part
- JANKO HAUFOR – Clearly in excellent shape when sanctioned in a similar event here mid-January and his driver will be out to set the record straight. Place chance
- DAYAK (ITY) – Got back in the game when 3rd of 9 finishers to DIE HARD (ITY) (3) in 17 February race of reference and, with form maintained, can get a look-in
- CAMERON – Classy Scandinavian that flew up in a Class C over course and distance late last month. Returns to the venue with morale intact and will be expected to give JE TE CHERCHE (9) something to think about
- JOVIAL HAUFOR – Runner-up in 3 of last 4, latterly to CAMERON (6) in a Class C over course and distance late last month. Unlikely to get his nose in front but in present shape is easy to like for a first-5 cheque
- JACOMO BELLO – Tenacious 3rd of 11 in a 2100m Class B here on 23 January. Is clearly back at his best but represents no more than a minor place prospect this time
- JE TE CHERCHE – Excellent servant with an enviable strike-rate, latterly comfortable winner of a 2850m Mauquenchy Class F 9 days ago. Just 7 year-olds to contend with this time and will logically take all of the beating
- IERMES DE GUEZ – Has not been seen out since running 3rd of 7 in a 2475m Francheville Class F last August and will need the race
- DENIA – Ran 2nd here last month before finishing 8th of 12 in a Class D under these conditions 12 days ago and is not about to cause an upset
- JAZZ DE PERVENCHE – Sanctioned when unsupported in 17 February race of reference and others easier to back
- MATEO DI QUATTRO – Serious Swedish type that ran 2nd to DIE HARD (ITY) (3) in a Class D over track and trip 11 days ago. Benjamin Rochard reins this time, enjoys an excellent entry and, shod to preference, must be considered a player
- JOLIVERT DU GERS – 5th of 9 finishers to DIE HARD (ITY) (3) in a Class D over course and distance on 17 February. Matthieu Abrivard could not have hoped for a better entry and will legitimately endeavour to make hay
Summary: Undefeated when barefoot and unbeaten over course and distance, JE TE CHERCHE (9) returns to the capital on a hat-trick and has every chance of pulling it off. That being said, Swedish raider CAMERON (6) won his French bow in style and will not go down easily. JANKO HAUFOR (4) is hard to knock when focused and Damien Bonne will be keen to get his charge back on track. It took some time but DIE HARD (ITY) (3) opened his Vincennes account in good order recently and will not be available at 15/1 this time around.

C6 – PRIX DE MAUREPAS – 2700m (a1m1/2) – Class E Race – Harness – EUR € 35,000 - EMY STECCA – Encouraging 5th of 16 behind ELISA SM (3) in a Class E over course and distance on 12 February. Front shoes off this time but others still preferred
- EVER FOREVER GAR – Dependable Italian mare that ran 4th of 16 behind ELISA SM (3) in a Class E over course and distance on 12 February, first time here. Will have come on for the run and the engagement of Alexandre Abrivard will do her place chances no harm
- ELISA SM – Quality Italian mare that ran excellent 2nd of 16 in a Class E over course and distance on 12 February and a similar effort would see her impose
- KALANSKA – Came close to pulling off the double when just headed in a 2725m Graignes Class E a fortnight ago. Thrives with Yoann Lebourgeois and should have a good hand to play
- ERGA OMNES PAR – Makes first foreign sortie after being sanctioned over 2020m in Milan on 10 January. Front shoes off this time but still not a concern
- KALIE WOOD – 5th of 7 finishers when preparing for this in a 2100m Class E here 10 days ago. Boasts solid barefoot references and in this company can play a leading role
- KINJAL DE BELLANDE – Showed improvement when 4th of 16 in a 2850m Laval Class E mid-month. Cannot be considered a priority but is unlikely to leave empty-handed either
- KALINKA SOMOLLI – Sanctioned in last 2, latterly a 2725m Graignes Class E 3.5 weeks ago. Is not devoid of ability but must first re-establish her credentials
- KANTARELLINA CHIC – Made unexceptional return to competition when 8th of 13 behind KINJAL DE BELLANDE (7) in a 2100m Class E here 3 weeks ago and can be passed over
- KOMEDIE SOMOLLI – Drops in category after finishing 10th of 13 in a Class D over course and distance 11 days ago and can be confidently ruled out
- KATIA DE MUZE – Won 6 of last 7, most recently a 2875m Argentan Class E 3 weeks ago. Is new to Vincennes but is first-time barefoot and on current trajectory will have a lot to contribute
- KADIX DEL PHEDO – Comfortable winner of a Class E over track and trip on 21 January. Takes on some better elements this time but can nevertheless hold her own. First 5
- ESTEREL GI – Returns to Paris after coming 2nd of 8 over 2120m at San Siro earlier in the month. Has never excelled at Vincennes though and represents little more than an outsider
- KRISSA DE MORGANE – Sanctioned in 4 of last 5, most recently a 2625m Agen Class E 2.5 weeks ago, and even racing barefoot can expect to have few friends
Summary: Remarkably consistent at home in Italy, ELISA SM (3) showed earlier in the month that she was just as adept over the Vincennes main track and has a realistic chance of wrapping this up. Matthieu Abrivard will still be keeping a keen eye on KALIE WOOD (6) who races barefoot for her first objective of the year, and EVER FOREVER GAR (2) who was not far from her contemporary under similar conditions recently. In the frame in 4 of her last 5 starts, KALANSKA (4) is shod as she was at Cabourg and must be taken seriously.

C7 – PRIX DE BLAVIGNAC – 2700m (a1m1/2) – Class E Amateur Riders Race – Harness – EUR € 32,000 - LADY D’ELFE – Unexceptional last but one in a Class D over course and distance last week. Back at a more reasonable level this time, races with front shoes off, and can pick up a cheque
- LINA LA RAVELLE – Ran 2nd at Nantes before losing her maiden status in a 2850m Laval Class F on 5 February. Takes on some better individuals here but is still easy to recommend for a place on the podium
- LALA QUICK – 6th of 12, on return to competition mid-month, in a 2875m Argentan Class E. Raced better that day than the result would suggest and with front shoes off for the first time, is not to be underestimated
- LUBIE DE LOIRON – 5th of 7 finishers, on Vincennes debut, in a 2700m monte Class D here 11 days ago. Unlikely to shake things up but can still play a small role
- LADY OF DURBUY – 3rd of 15 in a 2200m Class E here 10 days ago when first time barefoot. Takes on some better horses this time but is still worth monitoring
- LOUMANAS – Imposed at Mauquenchy before being sanctioned in a 2175m Class E here 3 weeks ago. Has evident ability but returns to racing shod and is unlikely to trouble the judge
- LOU DES COUPERIES – Reassured a month ago but sanctioned early in a 2100m Class D here 2 weeks ago and others easier to back
- LADY MYSTIC – Has not been seen out since faulting early in a 2950m Toulouse Class B 5 months ago. First time barefoot but still not an obvious choice
- LEGEND SMART – Won a 2850m Mauquenchy Class E a month ago despite a difficult trip. Has had ample time to recover and can confirm if she takes to the new profile
- LAURE DE MORANZY – Placed in a claimer before running unexceptional 4th of 5 finishers behind LITTLE ITALY (14) in a 2175m Class E here on 6 February and has a lot more to find
- LILY CARNOIS – Handy filly that faulted early in a 2925m Cagnes Class D 3 weeks ago. Is plainly in shape, sports a new formula, and with application can finish in the mix
- LEGYPTIA DE GUEZ – Last but one, on re-entry, in a 3000m Nantes Class E a month back. Competitively shod this time but still not easy to like
- LILAS D’ECHAL – Ran 3rd over course and distance before coming 2nd of 11 in a 2275m Nantes Class E a fortnight ago. Well-entered here and will be expected to confirm
- LITTLE ITALY – Well-related filly that finished 2nd of 5 finishers in a 2175m Class E here earlier in the month. Appears to have come on well over the autumn and looks a serious proposition
Summary: It took LEGEND SMART (9) little time getting back to victorious ways following the autumn break and a repeat of her Mauquenchy performance would see her double up. She is however going to be pitted against the well-engaged LITTLE ITALY (14) who took her game to a new level earlier in the month, and LINA LA RAVELLE (2) who is like a horse reborn since starting to race barefoot. The same can be said of LILAS D’ECHAL (13) who has placed in her last 2.

- KATIM DU GOUTIER – Failed to continue the good streak when last but one in 14 February race of reference and can be passed over
- KAISER DES GRANGES – 7th of 14 to KELLY JANE (8) in a Class C over course and distance 2 weeks ago, despite losing ground early, but can make amends if Paul Ploquin assures his charge’s initial strides
- KEVISAN – Put a brace of sanctions behind him to run 2nd of 14 to KELLY JANE (8) in a Class C over course and distance 2 weeks ago. Mathieu Mottier in the bike again and will be legitimately hopeful of a first-5 finish
- KERALDO – In the frame in last 3, most recently 3rd of 14 to KELLY JANE (8) in a Class C over course and distance 2 weeks ago. Steps marginally up in category and although unlikely to get his nose in front, can still hold his own
- KAVALA DE PADD – Encouraged here on 18 January before finishing last of 9 over track and trip 2 weeks later, and can expect to have few takers
- KOOL AND THE GANG – Gr.3 winner that ran 8th of 10 on re-entry in a 2925m Cagnes Class C on 24 January. Will have progressed for the run, receives a Franck Nivard drive for the occasion, and can finish in the mix
- KELLY JANE – Made it 2 straight when comfortable winner of a 2700m Class C here 2 weeks ago. Entrusted to JMB for first time and has a realistic chance of securing the 3-timer
- KOUVOLA – 6th of 16 behind KIPHYLE DESBOIS (10) in a 2850m Class B here on 8 February. Not without ability but would be preferred a level down
- KIPHYLE DESBOIS – Reassuring 4th of 16 in a 2850m Class B here on 8 February. Enjoys solid credentials over 2700m here and deserves to be taken seriously
- KENO PETTEVINIERE – By no means disgraced when 7th of 14 behind KATCHI QUICK (14) in a 2850m Class B here on 7 February. Has form against the Duvaldestin horse and is thoroughly capable of trotting his way into the frame
- KIVALA RENARDIER – Authoritative winner of a 2850m Class C here late-January. Consistently gives her best and while not a priority, is nonetheless capable of picking up a minor place cheque
- KONFINEE – Respectable 5th of 16 in a 2850m Class B here 3 weeks ago. Is better than latest results would suggest and could pleasantly surprise. Attention
- KATCHI QUICK – Honourable 2nd of 14 in a 2850m Class B here 3 weeks ago. Excels under these conditions and can win this if he keeps KELLY JANE (8) at bay
Summary: Runner-up in his last two, including over 2700m, KATCHI QUICK (14) missed out by little earlier in the month and, ideally-engaged, deserves to be rewarded with his first victory of 2025. It will not be all plain sailing though considering KELLY JANE (8) is here on a hat-trick of course-and-distance victories. Although unplaced here last time, KENO PETTEVINIERE (11) has otherwise been in fine condition over recent months and will lead the opposition together with KAISER DES GRANGES (3) who is due some good luck. KOOL AND THE GANG (7) has just the one race under his belt but has a lot going for him here and should not disappoint.

- LYPHARD DELF – Showed some improvement when fourth last time out in Class E Mounted race at Châteaubriant over 2400m on 3 February. Could earn some more money
- LAVE DE COSSE – Has major disqualification issues and faulted again last time out at Graignes on 23 February. Might play a minor role if wise this time
- LUCKY BAZOQUAIN – Unreliable but was runner-up last time out in a Class F Mounted race at Argentan over 2875m on 16 February. Should be right there at the finish once again
- LOVAK DE HOUELLE – Has not been disgraced in harness races and finished 5th last time out in Class F at Maure-de-Bretagne over 2850m on 9 February. Can contest the finish trying a Mounted race
- LUDO DE GODINIERE – Holding form and was third last time out in Class F at Pontchâteau over 2200m on 16 February. Consistent and has a place chance trying a Mounted race
- LUXUEUSE DANICA – Showed what she is capable of with a Class E Mounted race win when barefoot for the first time. at Graignes over 2700m on 13 February. Big chance in this line-up
Summary: LUXUEUSE DANICA (9) did not show much in her first seven starts but a switch to being barefoot in her second Mounted race brought about a victory. She remains unshod and may well follow up. LEO DES KECHES (2) qualified in a very good time under Mounted race conditions so would not be a surprise winner. LOVAK DE HOUELLE (7) tries a Mounted race after some fair harness race performances and is not out of it. LUCKY BAZOQUAIN (6) was not beaten too far under the saddle at Argentan and also has a winning chance.

Summary: MEADOWLANDS (9) looked good when scoring on debut at Cherbourg earlier this month. He is capable of doubling up. MARIOLE (3) steps up in distance after a promising debut and should fight out the finish . MALIKA DU SURF (5) only found one better on his debut at Cabourg in December and has a winning chance.

- LADY DU VALLON – Ignore her last run when 11th in Class D at Vincennes over 2700m on 24 December. Won well in November and can bounce back to beat these rivals
Summary: A very competitive-looking race where recent form is not easy to find. LADY DU VALLON (11) is better than her last run would suggest and it would not be a surprise were she to bounce back and beat these rivals. LOUISIANE LEMAN (9) has been unreliable of late but us unshod this time and can fight out the finish. LOVER FACE BOY (5) returns from a break but has already won twice before and does have the ability to score again. LODESTAR (10) is capable of being a threat if wise this time.

Summary: DREAM OP FAL (2) showed very good improvement last time out and with more to come, he could get his head in front. WINTER CLASSIC (4) was far from disgraced last time out and if repeating his debut effort, he could be too good here. ARTISTIC MAN (9) is a newcomer that needs to be monitored carefully in the market. ALPARSLAN (6) has got some solid runs behind him and he should be competitive.

- LIGHT OF MY LIFE – Dam remained a maiden after several starts and this filly doesn’t make much appeal on debut. Others preferred
Summary: HEMATITE (1) produced an eye catching effort on debut and should take a significant step forward on that to fight this out. OAXACA (4) finished in front of the top choice when they met last time out and can certainly confirm that form. She has had a few more chances to get it right but should be right in the thick of things. WHY NOT AGAIN (8) is a well bred daughter of Siyouni who could well know the business on debut and needs to be respected. HAARLEM (2) may have been stretched on debut and with her dropping in trip, she can earn.

Summary: CENTENARIO (5) has been running in competitive Class 2s without any success and with him dropping in the ratings, he could be one to keep on the safe side in this. ZELASQUIN (1) was a clear second best last time out but with a bit off luck from his deep gate, he could go one better. ROCAMBOLESQUE (3) is best forgiven for a rather under par latest effort and is one that needs to be included in absolutely everything as he has the right form to win this. BLU METAL JACKET (6) arrives in hard knocking form and will be a threat once again.

- KRYON – Showed ability to be 3rd over 1500m on his debut at Saint-Cloud on October 10th. He should like the step up in trip judged on his breeding
- SPEEDY GREEN – Unraced by Zarak, the dam won 4 races. Stable runners warrant respect on debut. The betting can be the most informative guide
- PADDOCKWOOD – Unraced gelding by Birchwood, the dam never ran. Stable runners tend to need a run or two for experience. The betting can be the best guide
- SPASIMANTE – Unraced gelding by Recoletos, the dam was placed several times. From a respected trainer who knows the time of day. Watch the betting patterns for any support
Summary: KEREMET (3) made a pleasing start when he was third on debut over 1600m at this track earlier this month. He will be more suited to the step-up in trip today and can score. ZODD (5) has done little wrong and has been second on his latest two starts on the PSF. The latest over-track and trip on February 7th. He can be competitive as can KRYON (9) who showed talent last year on his only start over 1500m. He can show more over this sort of trip. DIPLOMATE (2) heads the remainder.

- CHANTAL – Fair 3rd over track and trip on February 7th in a maiden race on her third start. One to keep safe
- SUN SONG – 5th over 1600m at Chantilly in a conditions race on February 7th on her one run. She can improve from that outing

- TAKE CARE – Well beaten on her only run over 1600m at this track on February 7th in a conditions race. Opposable
- PTICHKA BASC – Unplaced on her one run over 1600m at Chantilly in a conditions race on February 7th on her one start. Needs vast progress to feature
- KEETA – Showed promise to be 3rd over 1900m at Deauville in a maiden on December 28th. She will strip fitter for that effort

Summary: DAY DREAMING (12) was a nice second on her debut at this track in mid-November last year on her only start. She was beaten by a more fancied rival that day and will improve from that experience. A NOS AMOURS (14) has a taking profile and holds some good entries later in the year including the Prix De Diane (Gr.1). She will be expected to give a good account on her debut. KEETA (11) ran well when third on her only start and can have a say. MISS CLAVEL (5) can also be involved at the finish.

C7 – PRIX DE LA FONTAINE SAINT-GERVAIS – 2700m (a1m1/2) – ALL WEATHER – Class 3 Divided Handicap – Flat – EUR € 23,000 - ORFEO – Up in trip today, 4th over 2000m two runs back in a Class 3 handicap on January 13th at Cagnes-Sur-Mer. Among the leading place chances if his stamina holds out
- HANSOTTOGRUBER – Unplaced last time out, 3rd before that over 2400m in a handicap at Lyon La Soie on December 8th. Likely place chance
- HOLLY PHELIE – Four unplaced runs since a 4th over 1900m at this track in a handicap on September 3rd. Bred to stay but has yet to prove it is ideal for her
- L’INITIE – 6th on his last two runs, the latter over track and trip in a Class 3 handicap on February 7th. He is still a maiden after 21 starts
- PEPITO DES CARLES – 7th last time out, 2nd before that over 2500m in a Class 3 handicap at Deauville on January 3rd. Others make more appeal
- PROXIMA CENTAURI – Ran well over track and trip when 3rd on February 7th in a Class 3 handicap on his latest start. Can get off the mark
- RUE DES ORTEAUX – Decent 2nd over track and trip on February 7th on her latest start in a Class 3 handicap. One to keep safe
- BORN TO WIN – Unplaced last time, 2nd before that over 2500m in a handicap at Deauville on December 14th. Can make his presence felt
- LIANE – Four lacklustre efforts since a win over 2350m at Strasbourg on July 8th in a Class 3 race. PSF form is uninspiring
- BREEZE D’AUTEUIL – Three unplaced runs of late, the latter over track and trip in a Class 3 handicap on February 7th. Can be opposed
- FALABELLA – She has dropped to a reasonable handicap mark and ran well on her most recent outing over track and trip when 4th in a Class 3 handicap on February 7th. Ought to be in the shake-up
- LEXOVIENNE – Several unplaced runs of late, the latter over track and trip in a Class 3 handicap on February 7th. Unreliable
Summary: PROXIMA CENTAURI (6) showed an improved performance when he was third over course and distance earlier this month on his first try at this trip. He was not beaten far that day and is given the vote ahead of RUE DES ORTEAUX (7) who was second in the same race. With Maxime Guyon on the former, it may just sway the balance. BORN TO WIN (8) was a decent second two starts ago and looks like the each-way angle. FALABELLA (11) makes up the shortlist.

- TENYEARSAFTER – Three unplaced runs of late, the most recent over track and trip in a Class 3 handicap on February 7th. Easy to be overlooked
Summary: Hat-trick-seeking BIBBIENA (2) arrives after a recent course and distance success on February 7th in a Class 3 handicap. She looks like she has more improvement to come and is marginally preferred over AMARENA DODVILLE (9) who was second when they met here recently. Both fillies can fight out the finish.
