Vincennes 07 September 2019

13 races and still a maiden. Has merit but in this company will have a mountain to climb

Sanctioned on only start in the discipline but M.Abrivard has maintained faith and will have her supporters

Has looked very ordinary in last three under the saddle and has no realistic chance

Has respectable ridden credentials but better over longer and at this level prospect slim

Opened her account last time under the saddle. Entrusted to Raffin for the occasion but takes a hike in class and will have her work cut out

Has taken particularly well to the ridden code. Second in Gr.1 Prix d'Essai before a fine effort in Prix Pierre Gamare and with application can make the frame

Surprise winner of Gr.2 Pierre Gamare over longer here a fortnight ago. Unlikely to repeat but should still give an honest account

Tricky but has bags of ability. Close second to (11) GALA TEJY in Gr.1 Saint Leger before faulting when full of running in race of reference. Has since redeemed himself under harness and can go close

Won a Gr.2 on ridden debut but sanctioned in next three. M.Abrivard has opted for (2) GRANDE AVENUE but still not to be overlooked

Not as sharp as he was during the winter but runner up to (11) GALA TEJY on lone appearance in the discipline and should not be too far off the mark

Two times a Gr.1 winner and by some margin the best horse here. Missed out to (7) GAINSBOROUGH on return in Prix Pierre Gamare but expected to turn the tables

Serious colt that came in a place behind (8) RIVER FLOW in German Derby last month. Entrusted to Raffin here and will be afforded every chance

Useful filly in the other specialty. Sanctioned on harness debut last weekend and others preferred

Improving filly that won a similar event with authority late last month. Encounters the colts this time but can still put on a good show

Yet to get off the mark but always gives her best. Unseen for over three months though and best to wait

Progressive sort that won an Enghien Class C courageously last month. Is unbeaten with his driver and should have a good hand to play

Respectable trotter that recently finished a place behind (10) GARINCHA SPORT here. Up against some better horses this time and no more than a minor place chance

Delicate but has won two of three over course and distance. Reassured when third to (15) GONDOLE JENILOU last month and on good behaviour can play a role

Serious German colt that has won four of last six. Has good speed and with JMB in the sulky looks a serious proposition on French debut

No slouch on a good day but tends to prefer a more even surface and latest form does nothing to inspire confidence

Consistent filly that has shown a liking for the long course. Good third over course and distance on first start since the spell and can again finish close

Tricky type that trotted a moderate fifth to (10) GARINCHA SPORT here recently and while unlikely to take the world by storm can still get a look in

Quality transalpine raider that ran Gotland close in an Enghien Gr.3 over a mile last time. Seldom seen over this trip but worth noting all the same

Handy colt but has better references at a lower level. Trounced here a fortnight ago and needs to show marked improvement

Seldom gets his nose in front but has ample ability. Has placed just once in five on the main track but went into his spell on a good note and must be respected

Serious filly that latterly flew up at Enghien. Winner of only start under these conditions and can confirm

Seldom far from the action when he can keep his stride together. Takes a hike in class but has hind shoes off and can get a look in

Modest colt that showed improvement over shorter here late August but still has a lot more to find

Showed promise at three but went off the boil 15 months ago and has shown no sign of an imminent return to form

One of the more consistent elements here. Has no references over 2850m on the main track but is well positioned in front and can get in on the action

Imposed here earlier in the year but has struggled with stride issues since and needs to get her house in order

Occasionally indisciplined but has ample ability. Lost her action in the race of reference but breaks in front and will have her chances if she stays in stride

Winner of only start under these conditions. On an excellent run since the spring and from the first line can make a big splash

Quality individual that always gives her best. Gave a good account on return at Graignes and being reunited with Raffin can only work to her advantage

Handy filly that won a Gr.3 over course and distance during the spring. Sanctioned in both since and chances limited on first start back

Good class of filly but can prove tricky. Would have gone close in Gr.2 Guy le Gonidec had she not faulted but can make amends and win this

Criterium des 4 Ans third four months ago and not once out of the frame since. Incurs the penalty but still a serious proposition

Twice a Gr.2 winner last season before losing her way. Below par on comeback and unlikely to shake things up

Proven at this level but yet to get into her stride since the break and will need to improve on latest performance

Seen more often than not in the provinces these days. Trounced in last two and needs to raise his game

Consistent for the most part. Recently gave a good account in better company over track and trip and is significantly better placed behind the car this time

Blows hot and cold but showed marked improvement behind (9) AMAZING DYNAMITE on the short course recently. Has a good draw and in similar form can confirm

Clearly capable but has been struggling of late. Drops in category and from the 4 spot can get back to doing what he does best

No slouch on a good day and pleased on only start under these conditions. Sanctioned when full of running in the race of reference and is well positioned to redeem himself

Has placed just once since imposing at Cholet during the spring. Yet to make the grade on the long course and others preferred

Placed just once in five on the main track but is currently in decent shape and must not be ruled out

Erratic sort that has never delivered under these conditions. Forced to start wide here and unlikely to shake things up

Serious Swedish import that flew up on the inner track here last time despite a bad draw. Starts wide on this occasion but is not incapable of repeating

Excellent servant in the provinces and starts on the back row here but is clearly in form and won on only occasion when reined by Eric Raffin

Serious sort that seldom disappoints when focused. Is confirmed over the distance on the short course and in present form can make his presence felt

Fine servant with a good Vincennes record. Missed out by little at Pornichet last time and even from the second line can play a role

Confirmed on the main course and has merit but. Just one race under his belt this term but is barefoot and can make the first five

Highly consistent sort that has never failed to deliver under these conditions. Handed a tough draw on the second line but will have his chances if he gets off on the right foot

Surprise winner at Les Sables early August but failed to confirm a fortnight later and unlikely to worry the opposition

Unplaced in eight starts since placing in a minor event three months ago. Unlucky in the race of reference but others still preferred

Dependability not his strong suit but gets on well with Eric Raffin. Would have picked up a cheque last time had he not faulted but can make amends

Not the most productive horse in the field. Well beaten by (10) CALASKA DE GUEZ last time out and unlikely to spring any surprises

Mixes the good with the less good but has twice imposed over track and trip and must not be overlooked

Useful in both codes but better under the saddle and latest results do little to inspire confidence

Good consistent trotter that has never disappointed under these conditions. Is barefoot for the occasion and in present form can go far

Has never made any impression under harness here. Has other objectives and no threat

Showed a different side to himself when fourth to (10) CALASKA DE GUEZ over track and trip a week ago and will have his supporters

Useful sort with references at a better level. Has two races under his belt and with shoes off this time can make his presence felt

Occasionally a handful but otherwise a fine servant. Won a similar event last weekend and can repeat

Went close in last three at Enghien including second to Cleangame in a Gr.2. Has good credentials over course and distance and looks a major player

In cracking form for past six weeks and has previously imposed over the main track. Won for Raffin as a 3yo and looks a serious proposition

Acquits himself well for the most part and has references on the long course. Hind shoes off this time and one to note

Trounced on only start over 2100m here but gave a surprisingly good account at La Capelle recently and will generate more interest this time

Not the easiest to handle but capable on a good day. Has a good entry here but unraced for four months and will need the outing

Reliability not his strong suit but has already won here and can get in on the action if he reproduces his Saint Malo performance

Unbeaten in his last three going barefoot. Switches back to a hard surface and steps up in class but will garner support

Quality element but surprisingly below par behind (3) DIEGO DU HOULET at La Capelle. Is confirmed on the main track though and can more than make amends

Delicate type with better references going right handed. Is clearly in form though and can apply the pressure on (9) DUC D'IDEE

Fine trotter with an excellent strike rate. Regularly indisciplined but is unbeaten on the main course and going first time unshod behind can bring home the bacon

Has ability but yet to get into his stride following a lengthy absence. Winner of only start over course and distance though and should not be ruled out

Debuts at the venue on the back of two decent efforts in the provinces and will have his supporters

Tricky character that has never excelled on the long course and even though in decent shape still appears to have his work cut out

Has placed just twice in 14 Vincennes appearances and will have few takers
