R1 VINCENNES [L-H]

C1 – PRIX DE RAMBOUILLET – 2175m (a1m1/4) – Class C – Mounted – EUR € 46,000

  1. MAGUEN DAIRPET – Has done everything right since coming to Paris, even though having inherited victory here on 14 January. Takes on a superior lot this time, however, and a minor place prospect at best
  2. MAXIMUS DAIRPET – Got off the mark over the inner course on 12 December but failed to confirm when eliminated on 20 January. Is not easy to use but can play a part if Jean-Yann Ricart keeps him focused
  3. MARVELOUS – Won over course and distance in November and most recently came 3rd, a place behind MACAREUX DU TRIEUX (4), in a 2200m Class D here on 6 January. Has too much ground to make up though
  4. MACAREUX DU TRIEUX – Ran close 2nd in a 2200m Class D on his ridden debut here on 6 January. Will have progressed for the run, will be competitively-shod for the first time, and must be taken seriously
  5. MARIO DE LA VALLEE – Should not be condemned for faulting here on 19 December. Has had ample time to get straightened out and, with application, can bring the fight to MARLEY DE BAILLE (6)
  6. MARLEY DE BAILLE – Serious future prospect that was throughly professional when scoring on monte debut here on 20 January. Will be unfazed by the shorter distance and has an obvious claim on the race
  7. MAESTRO MUSIC – Has demonstrated good aptitude for the monte code but took on too much in a Class B 2 weeks ago. Is confirmed over 2175m here and in this company has a reasonable chance of finishing in the mix
  8. MACLANDER – Switches code for first time after 3 solid runs in the claiming division under harness, but will still have few takers
    Summary: After having shown potential under harness, MARLEY DE BAILLE (6) got straight down to business on his monte debut here recently and even over this shorter trip should have the measure of the field. Mathieu Mottier will still be keeping a watchful eye on the promising MARIO DE LA VALLEE (5) who will be expected to bounce back from December’s elimination, and a freshly-reconfigured MACAREUX DU TRIEUX (4) who put in a very good show on his monte debut a month ago.
    SELECTIONS
    MARLEY DE BAILLE (6) – MARIO DE LA VALLEE (5) – MACAREUX DU TRIEUX (4) – MAESTRO MUSIC (7)
    C2 – PRIX MICHEL POTIEZ – 2700m (a1m1/2) – Class A – Harness – EUR € 51,000
  9. NOVA DE CELLAND – Showed early promise but has shown her limits over recent months, and can be ruled out
  10. NUIT MYSTIC – Runner-up in last 2, most recently to NEW APPROACH (6) in a 2200m Class C here on 27 January. At this level though will struggle to make her mark
  11. NIKITA – Yet to get off the mark, and can prove a handful, but came good 3rd in a Class A over track and trip 3 weeks ago. 4 pads fitted this time and should not be far off the mark if applied
  12. NO LIMIT DELO – Top-drawer filly starting for first time since coming 10th of 13 in Gr.2 Prix Une de Mai over track and trip on 14 December. 4 pads fitted this time and, if allowed to express herself, can deliver
  13. NIKITA ERCA – Has improved for every run, latterly getting off the mark in a 2175m Class D here on 14 January. In considerably better company this time but is a progressive filly herself and should not be discounted
  14. NEW APPROACH – Got back in the winners’ circle late last month when securing a 2200m Class C. Trainer in the bike this time but may just be taking on too much
  15. NOIRE INTENSE – Ran 3rd in Gr.2 Prix Une de Mai over course and distance in December prior to confirming, a place behind NONEKA (8), in a Class B under the same conditions on 10 January. Has a bright future and must be taken seriously
  16. NONEKA – Won 3 for 3 in the provinces before coming 2nd in a Class B under these conditions on 10 January, her first time at the venue, and looks a major player
  17. NO WORRY – 4th, a place behind NIKITA (3), in a Class A over course and distance on 17 January. Found trouble in running that day but can make amends if David Thomain keeps her out of harm’s way
    Summary: Back at a less-exalted level after failing to deliver in the Gr.2 Prix Une de Mai here in mid-December, NO LIMIT DELO (4) will be fitted with pads for the first time and can return to successful ways if Benjamin Rochard assures her initial strides. NO WORRY (9) was unlucky not to finish closer here last month and, particularly well-engaged this time, David Thomain will be keen to put things right. Beaten only by a very good horse here in early-January, NONEKA (8) sports 4 pads on this occasion and looks competitively well in. NOIRE INTENSE (7) finished just behind her here last time and, with hind pads fitted, must be afforded respect.
    SELECTIONS
    NO LIMIT DELO (4) – NO WORRY (9) – NONEKA (8) – NOIRE INTENSE (7)
    C3 – PRIX DE CARQUEBUT – 2100m (a1m1/4) – Class D – Harness – EUR € 40,000
  18. MELINA SUPREME – Looked rather ordinary when dead-heating with MENTHE FRAICHE (9) for 7th in a 2175m Class D here 3 weeks ago. Is barefoot again but still not an obvious choice
  19. MARLEY – Progressive filly that came close to pulling off the 5-timer in late-December. May just be better-suited to this shorter trip and victory is well within her reach
  20. MYRIAM D’AZUR – Returns to France after an unremarkable return run in Mons in mid-December, and is not about to trouble the judge
  21. MELISSE DES EPINES – Tricky but talented filly making first start since last June. Sports front pads for the occasion but will have other priorities
  22. MY DARLING HAUFOR – Opened her Vincennes account in late-November then ran a very competitive 3rd in a Class D over track and trip on 13 January, and it will not be long before she gets her nose head in front
  23. MA CATHERINECHERIE – Showed improvement when 4th, a place behind MY DARLING HAUFOR (5), in a Class D over course and distance on 13 January. Enjoys a decent spot in front and can compete for a spot in first 5
  24. MILKA DES THUYAS – Has a number of reasons for finishing last in a 2700m Class D here in early-January. Has had a month to recalibrate and, while unlikely to win this, still has the wherewithal to make the frame
  25. MERYTATON – Modest individual making just 2nd start since the autumn break. Regularly bites off more than she can chew and this race is a case in point
  26. MENTHE FRAICHE – Has just the one win to her name but always gives her best. Is better than her latest effort would imply, runs barefoot, and will be no pushover if Matthieu Verva successfully negotiates the start
  27. MARQUISE GRIFF – Occasionally a handful but ran pleasant 5th behind MY DARLING HAUFOR (5) in a Class D over course and distance on 13 January. Is not about to cause an upset but will be similarly-shod and should give another honourable account
  28. MISS DE LA FERME – Ran 4th over course and distance before being dominated in a 2175m Class D 3 weeks ago. Is barefoot this time but the draw will not help her plight
  29. MAKE IT RIGHT – Has started to come good lately, most recently winning a 2175m Class E with ease here 2.5 weeks ago. Is not about to repeat but still looks competitive for a cheque
  30. MAGIE DU CHATAULT – 5th in both starts this term, latterly a 2700m Class D here on 5 January. Returns to racing shod and although not a contender is still worth monitoring
    Summary: Winner of 4 in a row before missing out by little on her Vincennes debut on Christmas Eve, MARLEY (2) makes just her 2nd appearance over 2100m but starts in front and can impose this time. MY DARLING HAUFOR (5) put on a fine show here last month, sports modified shoeing, and looks better than most here. Already a winner under these conditions, MILKA DES THUYAS (7) can be forgiven her recent blip and represents a decent place chance. MENTHE FRAICHE (9) is forced to start wide but she benefits from terrific entry and will be first-time barefoot.
    SELECTIONS
    MARLEY (2) – MY DARLING HAUFOR (5) – MILKA DES THUYAS (7) – MENTHE FRAICHE (9)
    C4 – PRIX DE MUNICH – 2100m (a1m1/4) – Class A – Harness – EUR € 90,000
  31. IBISCUS MAN – 4th behind JINGLE DU PONT (7) in a Class A over course and distance in early-January before running out of luck in Cagnes 2.5 weeks ago. Is plainly in shape, sports modified shoeing, and with application can figure prominently
  32. WORKING CLASS HERO – Serious trotter with Gr.1 form. Missed out on 3rd place in Gr.3 Prix du Luxembourg over course and distance a fortnight back. Enjoys a better draw this time and has a realistic chance of getting his head in front
  33. KSAR – Has been biting off more than he can chew lately, lastly 8th of 15 in a 2900m Cagnes Gr.3 a month ago. Has form with Matthieu Abrivard but in current condition is not easy to recommend
  34. HAPPY DANICA – Steps up in category after running 3rd behind HYMNE DU GERS (8) in a Cagnes Class A 2.5 weeks ago and, even though well-placed, is still not an obvious choice
  35. JANGO VICI – Ran a determined 5th, a place behind WORKING CLASS HERO (2), in Gr.3 Prix du Luxembourg over course and distance a fortnight ago. Has ground to make up but the draw will do his prospects no disservice
  36. IDEAL DU ROCHER – Quality element with solid references under these conditions. Caught the eye in a 2700m Gr.3 here on 10 January and, in similar form, can again finish close
  37. JINGLE DU PONT – Returns to racing barefoot after coming 4th in a 2850m Class B conditioner 9 days ago. Is confirmed in more elevated company, as he showed when securing Gr.2 GNT Final, and will be expected to contest the finish
  38. HYMNE DU GERS – Convincing 3rd in a Cagnes Class A 2.5 weeks ago on first objective of the season. Will have come on for the race and can play a role if David Thomain places him early
  39. CASH BANK BIGI – 5th behind JINGLE DU PONT (7) in a Class A over course and distance in early-January, before failing to deliver in Gr.3 Prix du Luxembourg 2 weeks ago, and can be passed over
  40. KARAMBAR – Hardy trotter with an exceptional strike-rate but is shod for his return to competition and best to hold off
  41. INDY ROCK – Pleased more than once here last winter but has completely failed to make his mark here this term and can expect to have few friends
  42. MAIN STAGE – Handy Finnish element returning to France after a break. Is shod for competition but has no love for Vincennes and can be ruled out
  43. GRINDELWALD – Useful mare but has not been seen out since last June and is going to need the race
  44. INVICTUS MADIBA – Erratic element with just the one race in him since the break. Not ideally-draw but is shod to preference, with Franck Nivard reining, and cannot be discounted
  45. LIGHTNING STRIDE – Impressed on Vincennes debut, coming 4th in Gr.3 Prix Helen Johansson over course and distance, 2 weeks ago. Takes on the boys this time though and the draw only compounds matters
  46. JAZZMAN (GER) – Made up somewhat for early Gr.1 Prix Ténor de Baune elimination when flying up in a Gr.3 over track and trip 2 weeks ago. Forced to break wide on back line but has buckets of class and should not be underestimated
    Summary: A fine servant with nothing to prove in this grade of race, WORKING CLASS HERO (2) gave an excellent account of himself in the Gr.3 Prix du Luxembourg a fortnight ago and from the 2-spot is easy to fancy. Courageous 7th that day despite quickly losing all chance, JINGLE DU PONT (7) benefits from a front-row start and will be barefoot this time. JAZZMAN (GER) (16) has pulled a rough number but the nature of his recent Gr.3 Prix Jean René Gougeon victory nevertheless augurs well for his chances. Better-positioned behind the car, Luxembourg 5th place, JANGO VICI (5), reverts to his preferred formula and Benjamin Rochard will be back in the bike. IDEAL DU ROCHER (6) held his own in the Gr.3 Prix du Forez a month back and can put his speed to good use.
    SELECTIONS
    WORKING CLASS HERO (2) – JINGLE DU PONT (7) – JAZZMAN (GER) (16) – JANGO VICI (5)
    C5 – PRIX DE GRIGNAN – 2700m (a1m1/2) – Class D – Harness – EUR € 40,000
  47. LOOPING MIL – Surprise winner of a Class E over track and trip in mid-January before blowing up in a Class D 11 days later, and is clearly taking on too much
  48. LIL BOSS ONLY – Has been very hard to fault since returning to current configuration, but takes on a better lot this time and chances appear limited
  49. LET IT SNOW – In the frame in last 4, latterly clear 2nd in a 2850m Class D 3 weeks ago. Appears to have found his category and it will not be long before he is rewarded for his efforts
  50. LOYAL DU CHOQUEL – Good, consistent type that was surprisingly eliminated in a 2100m Class D here a fortnight ago. Has otherwise never failed to deliver at Vincennes and will be competitive for a place on the podium
  51. LOVE’S SECRET – Unraced since placing under the saddle here in early-November. Will be shod for re-entry and can be ignored
  52. LAWMAN – Has not put a foot wrong for past 3.5 months. Ran 2nd to LAVALO BELLO (9) here in December before coming 3rd, a place behind LET IT SNOW (3) in a 2850m Class D 3 weeks ago, and represents a decent first-5 prospect
  53. LUCIFER DU CAIEU – Could have finished closer than 4th in a 2100m Class D here 2 weeks ago had he not stumbled in the final stages. Is unlikely to shake things up but will still generate some interest
  54. LAY UP – Returns to racing barefoot after prepping here 2.5 weeks ago. Reliability not his strong suit but can trot when in the mood and cannot be ruled out
  55. LAVALO BELLO – Unbeaten in 2 here this winter and, even though pushed last time, he has been afforded ample time to return to his best and will be well-backed to make his 2026 debut a winning one
  56. LETIKALIN – Starts for first time since winning a 2100m Class E here on 21 December. Races shod on this occasion, but in present form should still have the wherewithal to finish in the mix
  57. LE TOUQUET – Faces first objective of the winter after 2 comeback runs. Is a force when barefoot and, if applied, can give LAVALO BELLO (9) a run for his money
  58. LUGANO DE LOU – Has ability but never far from faulting. Races shod for first start since the summer and will have nothing to offer
    Summary: Twice a winner over course and distance this winter, LAVALO BELLO (9) steps up in category as he bids for the hat-trick and looks thoroughly capable of pulling it off. Benjamin Rochard will still want to be wary though of the Duvaldestin’s barefoot LE TOUQUET (11) who is as talented as he is complicated, and LOYAL DU CHOQUEL (4) who should not be condemned for being eliminated on his comeback run. LET IT SNOW (3) has been knocking at the door this winter and looks primed to pick up another cheque.
    SELECTIONS
    LAVALO BELLO (9) – LE TOUQUET (11) – LOYAL DU CHOQUEL (4) – LET IT SNOW (3)
    C6 – PRIX EPHREM HOUEL – 2100m (a1m1/4) – Gr2 – Harness – EUR € 120,000
  59. MAGNUM DU CHOQUEL – Never far from faulting but has ample ability. Returns to racing shod after stumbling in Gr.1 Prix Ourasi, and if there is a surprise to be sprung, this is the horse to spring it
  60. MEMPHIS DE BRASSE – Pleasant 4th in a 2700m Gr.3 here on Christmas Day. Gets to race barefoot for the first time and from the 2-spot can get in on the action
  61. MAT MANATHIS – Sent for a rest after coming 3rd behind MAITRE JACQUES (7) in a Gr.2 here in late-October, but will be barefoot for the first time and has been handed a fine draw. First 5
  62. MAGIC MAN – Occasionally a handful but has buckets of talent. Stays shod for first start back, but will be no easy touch if Mattheiu Abrivard keeps him focused
  63. MONZON NORMAND – Serious colt that has been overshadowed by stablemate MAGIC NIGHT (8), but is a first-rate colt, with a good spot behind the car, and going barefoot may be key to his success
  64. MORALITY – Has looked rather mediocre for some time, and recent Prix Ourasi performance did nothing to change that
  65. MAITRE JACQUES – Seldom disappoints when focused, most recently 3rd in Gr.1 Prix Ready Cash over course and distance in early-December. Comes here fresh, and reconfigured, and can bring home the bacon this time
  66. MAGIC NIGHT – Won a pair of Gr.2s in the autumn, then came excellent 3rd in 2700m Gr.1 Prix Ourasi on re-entry 2 weeks ago. Is the best filly of her generation and winning this would be no surprise
  67. MADRID HAUFOR – Has not won for 10 months, and is forced to start wide, but has been acquitting herself competitively over recent months and can finish close once more
  68. MIRA DE FROULAY – Takes first Gr.2 steps after being quickly eliminated in a Gr.3 here a week ago. Can trot but would still be preferred at a lower level
  69. MIDWAY LADY – At home at this level but has no references over 2100m of the main track. Will be competitively-shod for comeback though and cannot be discounted
  70. MARQUETY DE BAILLY – Out of the picture in both starts since the New Year and, in this company, has no realistic chance
    Summary: Most impressive 3rd in the Gr.1 Prix Ready Cash in early-December, MAITRE JACQUES (7) gets to race competitively-shod for the first time and can win this if Alexandre Abrivard keeps him trotting. He will still be expecting to encounter significant resistance from the classy MAGIC NIGHT (8) who ran close 3rd in the Gr.1 Prix Ourasi a fortnight ago. A place behind her that day, after having run 2nd in the Gr.2 Prix Charles Tiercelin, MADRID HAUFOR (9) breaks wide but can still make the frame, as can Philippe Allaire’s second runner, MONZON NORMAND (5), who races barefoot for the first time.
    SELECTIONS
    MAITRE JACQUES (7) – MAGIC NIGHT (8) – MADRID HAUFOR (9) – MONZON NORMAND (5)
    C7 – PRIX DE VERNEUIL – 2850m (a2m) – Class B – Harness – EUR € 52,000
  71. FEDE JET – Moderate Italian mare taking a notable hike in category after running 5th in a Class E here late last month and is unlikely to improve on that
  72. FAHARAJAH ONE – Serious Italian raider returning to France in good shape. Ran 2nd on sole start over course and distance and, competitively-shod this time, can play a part. First 5
  73. FILLY MAIL – Respectable in both starts since coming to France, but takes a big jump in category and is unlikely to cause an upset
  74. LOVE BITES – Hardy nordic mare that was eliminated under the saddle on Vincennes debut a week ago. Has no references beyond 2640m but will be barefoot and not to be discounted
  75. LOUISA D’ATOUT – First-rate mare that has twice failed to get around unscathed recently. Showed her form here last time though and will be no easy touch if Matthieu Abrivard keeps her focused
  76. LITTLE STAR FLEURY – Respectable on a good day but has been showing her limits this winter and can be disregarded
  77. LILI DRY – Has not put a foot wrong since starting to race barefoot. 3rd to LALUNA DES FORGES (8) in a 2700m Class B here on 17 January and, in similar form, can confirm
  78. LALUNA DES FORGES – Made amends for late-December blip when comfortable winner of a Class B under these conditions on 17 January. Is plainly on the right trajectory and is in with a shout of doubling his money
  79. LADY DADA – Took time to come to hand this term but ran reassuring 2nd to LALUNA DES FORGES (8) in a Class B over track and trip on 17 January. Goes barefoot again and, with her mind on the game, can figure prominently
  80. LAUREATE DRY – Back under harness after disappointing in the other code in late-December. Will be barefoot this time but has not done enough to be considered competitive
    Summary: Twice a winner in both starts over 2700m recently, LALUNA DES FORGES (8) imposed with authority 3 weeks ago and even in the absence of Paul Ploquin, can continue the trend. Second and third respectively that day, LADY DADA (9) goes barefoot again, as does the reinvigorated LILI DRY (7), however these 2 may first have to see off the progressive LOUISA D’ATOUT (5) who was eliminated when going well here early last month.
    SELECTIONS
    LALUNA DES FORGES (8) – LOUISA D’ATOUT (5) – LADY DADA (9) – LILI DRY (7)
    C8 – PRIX DE LISIEUX – 2850m (a2m) – Class B – Mounted – EUR € 75,000
  81. JUPITER DU CORTA – Has been super this winter in the monte discipline, latterly outclassing the opposition in a 2200m Class D here on 30 January. Takes on a better lot this time but still looks a player
  82. JACARANDA – Has not been seen out since making it 7 on the trot in a 2700m Class C here in late-November. Is sure to have been specifically prepared for this and looks to have a reasonable chance of imposing
  83. TURE L.A. – Quality Swedish element that has picked up in France where he left off at Solvalla in late-November. Switches code for first time and is not incapable of making this his own
  84. HOLD UP DU DIGEON – Has done nothing noteworthy at Vincennes this winter. Has been reconfigured for the occasion but still has no possible chance
  85. IVANOF – Won a Class B over course and distance in mid-January before finishing last but one in Gr.2 Prix Jacques Andrieu 2 weeks ago, and is once again being aimed too high
  86. ILTON ROYAL – Not the easiest of horses to handle, was well-beaten in a Class B here on 17 December, and will need to find considerably more
  87. HANNAH – Bit off more than she could chew when last but one in Gr.1 Prix de Cornulier on 18 January. Has form in this category but, given the opposition, is unlikely to spice things up
  88. JE REVE DU BOIS – Has done battle with JUST FOR BACK (10) in last 2 starts, coming off better in one. Was not far off him in Gr.2 Prix Jacques Andrieu late last month and should prove competitive when it matters
  89. HEURISTIQUE – Produced a pair of good efforts before being trounced in Gr.1 Prix de Cornulier 3 weeks ago. Is in less-elevated company this time and, while not a priority, should not be ruled out either
  90. JUST FOR BACK – Fine element that produced his career-best performance when runner-up in Gr.2 Prix Jacques Andrieu here 2 weeks ago. Damien Bonne in the irons this time and can challenge for the win if he keeps his charge focused
  91. HEDEN CRUZ – Useful sort that ran 5th behind JUST FOR BACK (10) in 2850m Gr.2 Prix Jacques Andrieu here 2 weeks ago. Has a particular liking for these conditions and seldom disappoints for Tamara Mathias-Maisonnette
    Summary: As consistent as they come, and close 2nd in a harness Class D on his French debut here in mid-January, TURE L.A. (3) debuts under the saddle, with Mathieu Mottier reining, and looks eminently capable of getting straight down to business. Twice a bridesmaid here recently, lastly in the Gr.2 Prix Jacques Andrieu, JUST FOR BACK (10) is well-entered and easy to fancy. JE REVE DU BOIS (8) ran 4th behind him that day after having had his measure 3 weeks earlier, and looks competitive once again. Unbeaten in 7 straight barefoot monte starts, JACARANDA (2) faces a tougher task on his return to competition, but is as tenacious as they get and must be duly respected.

    C9 – PRIX DE BERCY – 2100m (a1m1/4) – Class D – Harness – EUR € 46,000
  92. KING D’HERMES – Never the easiest to gauge but has ample ability. Prepped shod here last month but is in competition-mode this time, and has every chance of getting back in the game
  93. KELLER DE L’ITON – Has been in excellent form over recent months. Prepped honourably at Angers but is back under conditions he appreciates and has a realistic chance of imposing
  94. KANSAS QUESNOT – Handy sort starting for first time since late-November. Ideally-drawn but will be fitted with shoes and best to hold off
  95. KING DE LARRE – Unraced since winning a Class E at Beaumont-de-Lomagne in late-November. Is shod for comeback and others easier to back
  96. KENNEDY FRANCE – Given an easy comeback run here in mid-January. Will have progressed for the race, and from the 5-spot looks competitive for the win
  97. KING MOKO – Has not been seen out since running 3rd over 2600m in Victoria Park in late-November, and has never delivered at Vincennes
  98. KRUGER DU NORD – Surprisingly lacklustre 5th in a 2850m Mauquenchy Class E late last month. Presents respectable Vincennes credentials but represents a minor place chance at best
  99. KILLER DE CAHOT – Ran courageous 3rd in a 2850m Class D over the inner course on 19 January. Is seldom seen over these shorter trips but is proven and, despite the wide draw, must not be overlooked
  100. KETBERNY – Consistently-performant type that has been knocking at the door lately. Breaks wide, and is unlikely to impose, but can nevertheless trot his way into the money
  101. KOOL DU CHATELET – Eliminated early in a 2850m Class D here on 19 January, but showed his form nevertheless. Thibaut Dromigny would have preferred a better draw but in current condition is still very easy to like
  102. KLEMS DE JAVIE – Below-par 7th of 13 in a Cagnes Class D on 11 January. Has never excelled over the Vincennes main track and is not about to start now
  103. KOLBY DE CLARAFLOR – Reassuring winner of a Class E over course and distance on 27 January. On back line this time and, in this company, cannot be considered a contender
  104. KOCKTAIL WOOD – Previously a good sort but has been struggling lately and will first need to get his house in order
  105. KEOPS DU BUHOT – Won at Le Mans in December then followed that up with victory at Graignes on 11 January. Is reunited with David Thomain but has been poorly-drawn and is unlikely to spring any surprises
    Summary: Unthreatening but encouraging on his first start for 2 months, KENNEDY FRANCE (5) flew up the last time under these conditions and, at this level, can open his 2026 account. KELLER DE L’ITON (2) has done nothing but improve with every run here and, from the 2-spot, represents the main danger. Much improved in his last 2 starts, even though eliminated last time, KOOL DU CHATELET (10) has been handed a tough draw but sports a fresh configuration and, on good behaviour, can trot his way onto the podium. Barefoot following his conditioner here early last month, KING D’HERMES (1) will be barefoot this time and is unlikely to disappoint.

    R3 TOULOUSE [R-H]

C1 – PRIX D’ALZON – 2750m (a1m1/2) – Class E – Harness – EUR € 21,000

  1. MISTER DES THUYAS – In good shape and finished fourth in class E at Cagnes-sur-Mer over 2925m on 28 January. Remains barefoot and should contest the finish
  2. MAESTRO DE PAGERIE – Has improved of late and finished third in class E at Rouen-Mauquenchy over 2850m on 26 January. Remains barefoot and can have a winning turn
  3. MENTHE A L’EAU – Not reliable and finished 9th in class E over this track and trip on 15 January. Needs to do more to score
  4. MIRA D’HAVAROCHE – Disqualified in class F at this track over 2150m on 9 January. Was finishing well when faulting last time out and could be a threat of smart
  5. MACHINE DE GUERRE – Disqualified in class E at this track over 2150m on 30 January. Unreliable but can earn some money when smart
  6. MOON DE LA COTE – Has struggled of late and was 10th in class E over this course and distance on 3 January. Needs to find a few lengths to win
  7. MIRAGE VALLON – Succeesful in a class F at Fleurance over 2150m on 17 August. Tries barefoot and could be a lively danger if fit from a break
  8. MUSE DU LOISIR – Unplaced in class F at Auch over 2250m on 11 November. Returns from a break and should need this run so others are preferred
  9. MADAME BUTTERFLY – Not reliable anf finished 6th in class E at this track over 2150m on 30 January. Remains barefoot and could make the frame
  10. MY LADY CASH – Faulted in a class F at Bordeaux-Le Bouscat over 2650m on 16 December. Has major disqualification issues and others make more appeal
  11. MISTER JOHNS – Battling to regain best form and fnished 8th in a class F at Cagnes-sur-Mer over 2150m on 7 July. Likely to need this run returning from a break
  12. MEA MARIS – Disqualified in a class E at this track over 2150m on 30 January. Battling to regain form and others are preferred
    Summary: An interesting race. MAESTRO DE PAGERIE (2) has been good of late and should make a bold bid at beating these rivals. MISTER DES THUYAS (1) remains in good form and looks likely to fight out the finish yet again. MIRA D’HAVAROCHE (4) is clearly a difficult horse to ride but ran better than the disqualification suggests last time out and can be a danger when smart. MIRAGE VALLON (7) returns from a break but can make the frame if fit enough.

  28. L’AMI DE LANCOUR – Not disgraced when fifth in class E at Bordeaux-Le Bouscat over 2550m on 26 January. Reverts to barefoot and could have a lot more to offer
    Summary: A very open-looking race. L’AMI DE LANCOUR (16) was not disgraced at Bordeaux-Le Bouscat last month. He is barefoot for the first time in a while, which does hint that a winning turn is not far away. LORD OF WOOD (7) put in an improved performance earlier this month but does have disqualification issues. LUZ JELOCA (5) is unreliable but also quite capable of getting involved with the finish. LUTTEUR DU RIEU (14) was not disgraced over this course and distance last time out and has to be considered a possible winner.

    Summary: A very tricky race, and the list of possible winners is a lengthy one. KIERA MAGIC (5) is better than her last run at Grenade-sur-Garonne shows, so gets a redemption vote. KORALIE D’ISQUES (8) beat a number of these runners last time out and has a good recent record when racing without shoes. KRISTALE TONIC (1) is unreliable but showed improvement last time out, so could be a lively danger. KALINE DU BOULAY (6) won her penultimate start well but did fault in her latest start and is not easy to trust.

    Summary: JUST ELGE DESBOIS (8) is improving and can follow up on a recent victory at Saint-Galmier. It is, however, a competitive-looking race, as JACK REACHER (3) remains in good form and should be right there at the finish yet again. JAVA DE CAPONET (6) is clearly capable of better than her last run would suggest, and she can challenge for top honours. JUNTA DES THIRONS (11) is unreliable but did run well enough last time out and must be respected for that performance.

IPSON DU VERNAY (10) was travelling well before faulting last time out and can be a threat if staying on the trot. IMPARTIAL (9) has done well when going right-handed and can contest the finish. LE MAGICIEN (2) scored well enough over the shorter distance at this track recently and can make the frame.

    Summary: A very open lucky last race where only a few can safely be ruled out from winning. NORWEGIAN GIN (4) needed her last run and, fitter now, she could be the one to score. NARRETEPAS GIO (8) is improving and was a good winner last time out. This shorter distance should not be a problem. NEW YORK D’ATOUT (3) put in an improved performance at this track and can go close if capable of building on this effort. NEVIDENCE ROC (2) has been competitive in this division and is another to consider.

LA DO RE (7) may prove the main danger after running a credible race when fifth over 2700m in a Class 3 contest in early January on her latest start. BLOOMTAAL (5) was narrowly beaten when finishing second at Pornichet on January 19th and warrants respect, while HAKASTE (6) is another to consider for each-way purposes.

    Summary: WARRIORS WHISPER (10) has a choice pedigree. Her dam won a Listed race in France and a Group 3 race in Ireland. She will be well tuned for her racecourse debut and is worth watching in the betting market. She is given the vote over SHELZAWA (4), who made a pleasing debut when second at Pornichet in early January. She can step forward for that run, as should INGEBORG (2), who was second over the same track and trip at Pornichet late last month and can improve from that outing. DESERONTO (5) heads the rest.

    Summary: PROLETARIAT (3) delivered a cracking second last time out and has every chance here in sealing a victory at the All-weather track. He is the horse to beat.

Both candidates hold the form to back them up to do so. STANTO (4) is as honest as they come and he will be right on top of them at the finishing post.

SAMAGACE DU VIVIEN (11) romped home into the winners box with confidence and will be of no surprise if he follows up here. CALIFANO (4) did run a better third but in a weaker division in his previous start. He does meet tough knockers here but is in with a place chance. KAMETA (1) is better than her previous outing and must be acknowledged on overall form.

    Summary: KENSILVER (5) keeps knocking on the door and meets the perfect field for him to make a bold statement. He can break his maiden shackles off his hooves. RUE POUSSIN (11) understands the track and trip well enough as she placed here twice in her last two attempts. She looks poised to strike hard here. Supplemented ARYVESAN (3) looks well entered as she was a victorious vixen over the course and distance and deserves serious consideration. BALTFOOT FAL (9) just found one better than her when running a solid second and can disrupt the top 4 play if wise here.

    Summary: SATURDAY NIGHT (1) is a filly that has ability and knows what it takes to win at this venue and trip. She looks to have the right accolades in place to continue her winning trend here. STAR OF ARTABAN (6) is no slouch and is in fine fettle of late. This soldier looks the ultimate danger to the top and is a star that can shine bright here.

  72. MAMZELLE D’HERIPRE – Continues to improve and was runner-up in Class E at Vincennes over 2100m on 20 December. Best over shorter but can beat these rivals
  73. MOSTRA DE CHANLECY – Has disqualification issues and faulted last time out over this course and distance on 13 December. In good form before that and can contest the finish.
  74. MIRABELLE DE LARRE – Yet to win a race and was barefoot when 9th in Class D at Vincennes over 2175m on 17 January. Remains without shoes and could be competitive this time around
    Summary: A competitive lucky last race. MAMZELLE D’HERIPRE (7) has won twice already and both of those victories came over a shorter distance, but she does look the one they all have to beat. She is barefoot and ready to strike. MOSTRA DE CHANLECY (8) faulted last time out over this course and distance but is capable of being a real threat when smart. MIRABELLE DE LARRE (9) has only been modest of late, but improvement can be expected over this track and trip. MONA LISA GEDE (6) has yet to win a race but can make the frame.
    SELECTIONS – MAMZELLE D’HERIPRE (7) – MOSTRA DE CHANLECY (8) – MIRABELLE DE LARRE (9) – MONA LISA GEDE (6)
