3rd of 8 in a 2825m Parilly Class B last Sunday. Shoes on this time however and best to hold off

5th of 11, despite stride woes, in Gr.2 Prix Annick Dreux over course and distance late last month, before suffering interference, coming last but one in Criterium des 3 ans. With a trouble-free run though will be no pushover

Won over track and trip before finishing 8th of 12 in Gr.1 Criterium des 3 ans mid-month. Shoes back on and has the class to throw a spanner in the works here. Chance

Unraced since finishing 7th of 11, behind LUNA NOVA GWEN (7), in a 2150m Enghien Gr.3 early-July. Is clearly in competition-mode and is not incapable of opening his autumn account

Starts for the first time since faulting in a monte Gr.1 over course and distance late-June. Has other priorities and can be passed over

Sanctioned early in a Gr.2 over course and distance late last month, but nevertheless showed her form and with stride in check can impose

2nd in a Gr.2 here before losing her action in Prix Annick Dreux late-August. Has merit but is never far from faulting and a minor place chance at best
Mme D Mottier

Tricky character that faulted in a Gr.1 under these conditions a fortnight ago. Should not be hastily-judged, and can play a leading role if David Thomain keeps him focused

Races shod for the occasion after trotting 5th of 7 in a monte Gr.2 under these conditions on 13 September, and will have nothing to offer

Race Overview
Quickly sanctioned in the Gr.2 Prix Annick Dreux, Philippe Allaire's talented but complicated LUNA NOVA GWEN (7) drops back in class, is confirmed at Vincennes [not over 2700m though], and can win this if Yoann Lebourgeois manages to keep her trotting from one end of the race to the other. There will be considerable opposition though from the likes of stablemate LITTLE BROWN (9) who is arguably better over 2175m, but classy nevertheless, and the returning LEONARDO ROC (4) who sports front pads for his first objective of the autumn. Class A course-and-distance winner earlier this month, LAPIS LAZULI (3) returns to racing shod and has a realistic chance of securing his first black-type event.
