Made it 2 on the trot when winning a 2175m Class C here 2 months ago. Will be fresh for comeback but takes on a superior lot this time and looks a minor place chance at best

Race Overview
A good class of colt under harness, LUTIN JABA (11) will be fresh for his ridden bow, races unshod-behind, and the engagement of Eric Raffin speaks volumes. LUCIFER D'ORPHEE (6) may not have been seen out since December but he won on his comeback last September and, with shoes back on, looks the main threat. A fine winner across town mid-March when first-time barefoot, LABEL DE LARRE (10) steps back up in category with a lot to offer. LUIGI D'ISIGNY (4) has nothing to prove at this level and a place in the frame will depend on his humour.

11 - 6 - 10
