3rd in a Class D under these conditions in December, on first monte start. Sports hind pads for return to the code but still represents no more than a minor place prospect

Got back in the game on monte debut last week, running 2nd to a high-class filly in a 2700m Class C. Faces a much tougher challenge this time, but has earned the right to take her chances. First 5

Makes first appearance under the saddle after having shown significant harness ability. Champion jockey aboard and, with her mind on the game, should prove competitive

Winner of 3 in a row, including over course and distance, NIKITA DES CHARMES (9) met no opposition here late last month and the 4-timer looks to be hers for the taking. Francois Lagadeuc will still be wary of shod monte debutante, NAYARA (10), who ran 2nd in a Gr.2 here in early-January, and who has a particular liking for these conditions. Confirmed over both courses, and sporting pads for the first time, NIZZA ROCCA (7) chased Lagadeuc home a month ago, on his monte bow, and will be no shrinking violet. NESPERA (6) has won 3 of her 5 harness races and debuts under the saddle reconfigured and with Mathieu Mottier in the irons.
Eliminated in last 5, most recently at Maure-de-Bretagne last Sunday. Showed his form though, has been reconfigured, and with application can start to produce the goods for his new handler

Honest sort that showed improvement at Angers mid-January, coming 3rd in a Class E. Will be similarly configured and should be good enough to pick up some prizemoney

Missed out by the smallest of margins at Mauquenchy 3.5 weeks ago when first-time barefoot. Trainer could not have hoped for a better entry and, with Alexandre Abrivard reining, can oblige

Put away after impressing more than once in the provinces last summer, MAESTRO D'AVEL (9) gave a most encouraging account on his December re-entry. He comes here fresh, races first-time barefoot, and can bring home the bacon. Benjamin Rochard will still be mindful of the terrifically-engaged MISTER LA NUIT (11) who makes his Vincennes debut with Alexandre Abrivard in the bike and a good hand to play. MAN ON THE MOON (6) made up at Maure-de-Bretagne for his Angers elimination and will be competitively-shod, with Alexis Collette reining. MARBRE D'ERABLE (3) was still going strong when eliminated over the main track a month ago and will race shod for his return to a more even surface.
Distant 3rd to NICKEL DE BAILLE (9) in a 2700m Class B here 3 weeks ago and would have better chances at a lower level

Undefeated in 2 starts under the saddle, NICKEL DE BAILLE (9) was thoroughly professional on both occasions and appears to be on course for the hat-trick. Runner-up to him both times, NEWTON DES ANDIERS (8) should again figure prominently, but may first have to see off NOSTRA VERO (4) who outclassed the opposition here 2 weeks ago. On paper, NINJA DE L'ENVOL (7) may not be an obvious choice but his recent Gr.3 harness performance will have encouraged regular partner Guillaume Martin.
Has shown a different side since switching disciplines. Here for reasons of conditioning and can be ruled out

Given an easy re-entry run here in mid-January, LARIANO (7) will have come on for the race and, with Matthieu Abrivard in the bike, clearly means business. While plainly capable of winning this, he will nevertheless be opposed by LOQUIDY (8) who moves up in category after winning twice here last month, and L'ATOLL (6) who just missed out to him here 3 weeks ago. The delicate LAMONT DU DOUET (13) acquitted himself particularly well on his own comeback run just 10 days ago and the Mathieu Mottier-factor cannot be ignored.
Has been acquitting herself respectably in a lesser category and will struggle to make her mark this time

Winner of 3 Gr.2s in this configuration here this winter, LIONHEART (9) made up for being beaten in the Gr.1 Prix Jag de Bellouet by winning the Gr.2 Prix Camille Blaisot in style here late last month. It was L'ECRIN D'OR (6) who had his measure in December and, even racing shod, is still a serious danger. He will, however, first have to defer to Mathieu Mottier's fine LONDON (7) who has shown significant monte potential. A top-tier mare making her first appearance since late-November, LAKANA DE FELLIERE (4) will be barefoot for her re-entry and can get straight back in the game.
Given time to recalibrate after 2 modest efforts in November. Is shod for return to the track and is unlikely to spice things up

Enjoying something of a renaissance since returning to racing barefoot, KILLER BOND (9) demolished a good field here in early-January and looks thoroughly capable of repeating. Similarly revitalised, KART HAUFOR (3) has been climbing the category ladder in very good order and the nature of his latest victory augurs well for his prospects of confirming. You don't see it in the results but KHAMSA (8) put in a fine finish here late last month and Alexandre Abrivard will be out to make amends. KANCALAIS (15) has been knocking at the door this winter and returns from a short spell with a good hand to play.

One of the more complicated fillies here, MANDARINA DE LOU (2) has been given time to get her house in order after faulting here on Christmas Eve. She has no shortage of talent though and, barefoot for the first time, can finally open her metropolitan account. Stablemate METSUYANE ERA (4) had run 3rd under these conditions a few days earlier and will also race without shoes for the first time. MAGIC MAGGIE (7) has twice gone close lately and could have been handed a worse draw. MONEY DU CHATELET (10) got the year off to a victorious start at Angers and makes her Vincennes bow with considerable promise.
Won over 2700m on Christmas Eve prior to repeating 3 weeks later over 2100m. Takes on a better bunch this time but in present shape is easy to recommend for a first-5 cheque

Has turned a corner this winter, most recently winning a 2100m Class B here, from pillar to post, on 11 January. Has been reconfigured and must be considered a contender
Has failed to make much impact since imposing over 2100m here in late-November. Returns barefoot after being conditioned in Bordeaux and cannot be discounted

Put in a good effort to come 5th to HOCHE (13) in a 2100m Class B here on 11 January. Is nicely-engaged, with his trainer back in the bike, and should give another competitive account

Respectable for the most part but has looked very ordinary so far this term and must first re-establish his credentials

Excellent 3rd in a Class C under these conditions on his return from a spell last month, JASON GINYU (7) seldom lets the side down under these conditions, has just one other 7yo to contend with this time, and with form maintained, can wrap this up. COMBAT FIGHTER (3) twice held his own at Gr.3 level last month and drops down the category-ladder with a realistic chance of contesting the finish this time. INFERNO PIPER (6) opened his annual account a fortnight ago and has earned the right to compete in this grade of race. HOCHE (13) had the measure of many here just over a month ago and has won 2 of 3 in the day's configuration. The talented COLBERT WF (10) has good speed and is unlikely to disappoint if he gets off on the right foot.
