7th of 8, on comeback, in a 2750m harness Class D at La Capelle a fortnight ago. Front pads fitted and will be worth monitoring as she takes her first public monte steps

Lost his maiden status in a 2550m Reims Class E mid-month but takes on a tougher bunch this time and chances limited

Sanctioned as often as not but has ability. Unraced since faulting in a 2700m Vincennes Class B in January though and even with front pads fitted, is still expected to need the race

Useful but could manage only 5th of 7 finishers in a 2700m Vincennes Class B 11 days ago, but the new configuration will do his prospects no disservice

Game type making his first start since trotting 4th of 8 in a 2700m Vincennes Class A late-April. Shod for competition and is not one to be overlooked

Has hardly put a foot wrong since switching codes and is proven at the venue. Hind pads fitted this time and is not going to be far from the action

No superstar but recently beat L'APOGEE IMPERIAL (10) when 2nd of 4 finishers in a 2700m Vincennes Class C 3 weeks ago, and is sure to garner more support this time around

Classy future prospect that tenaciously opened her account in a 2175m Vincennes Class D last Saturday and has every chance of confirming

Yet to get off the mark but regularly goes close, latterly 2nd to a very good horse in a 2850m Vincennes Class C early-June. Is plainly close to his race and it is only a matter of time. Chance

Race Overview
A progressive filly that has taken to her new vocation like a natural, LAVALLOISE GIRL (9) lost her maiden status at Vincennes last month and Eric Raffin will be justifiably eyeing up a repeat. It's unlikely to be all plane sailing though considering how well L'APOGEE IMPERIAL (10) has been acquitting himself, and the entry he enjoys. It took some time but LOTUS ZEN (8) returns to Enghien with his morale intact and even racing shod, looks capable of making the frame, as does the improving LEGEND DARLING (7) who is fitted with hind pads this time.
Selection:
9 - 10 - 8
