Consistent trotter with sound references/form credentials, albeit in several other shoeing configurations. Presented for the first time in this hoe-fitting after a creditable 6th over 2350m at Angers on 11 June - keep safe

Long-time maiden (36 starts) whose form suggests he has lost his way - unplaced in 6 consecutive outings, the latest (10th) in this shoe-fitting over 2350m at Angers on 11 June

Delicate in his early days (disqualified in 4 of his first 8 outings) but possesses undeniable ability and confirmed as much with a last-start victory over 2625m at Paray-le-Monial on 9 June. Respected despite jumping in class

Unreliable of late but is most effective in this (barefoot) configuration and boasts sound references at this level. Only 8th over 2350m at Angers on 11 June but has the means to fare better under these conditions
Ecurie Franck Nivard

Honest hard-knocker who is seldom far off the mark but rarely wins his races (just 1 victory from 26 starts). Didn't go unnoticed when 5th over 2500m at Reims in this shoeing configuration on 2 June

Has performed consistently/competitively in 5 starts this year - won once and finished 2nd and 3rd twice each. Showed his form and well-being by finishing 3rd over 2950m at this venue on 1 June - candidate for success

Returned to form with an encouraging 3rd in this (barefoot) configuration at Meslay over 2875m on 30 May. Will be a factor

Capable, lightly raced trotter but appears to have lost his way recently - unplaced in his last 3 starts, the latest (9th) over 2950m at this venue on 17 June. Best watched for now
Ecurie Thierry Busset
G

Dh5h7h2hDh6
Tricky customer but has sufficient means/sound references, especially with Matthieu Abrivard at the helm. Didn't go unnoticed when 6th over 2600m at Meslay on 16 May - not taken lightly
Mlle Sandrine Bellessort
G

3h8h6h8h8h3
A 30-start maiden who got his career back on track with a much-improved 3rd over 2475m at Niort on 23 June in this (barefoot) shoeing configuration. Must confirm

Race Overview
Several in the lineup with a legitimate chance, though preference is for in-form JIVAGO BLEU (7) who sets a good standard on the strength and consistency of his recent form. He is also ideally engaged at the ceiling of earnings. JOKER DU CHOQUEL (8) and JUST DE LA MORTRIE (1) have the means to fight for victory, especially with the shoeing configuration in which they're engaged. JOGGER KILY (5), JASMIN DU PERRE (10) and JACOBIN DU GOUTIER (4) are contenders for the minors.
Selection:
7 - 8 - 1
