Encouraged at Amiens before running 6th of 13 in a 2750m Cabourg Class E last Saturday and, in this company, will have too much to do
Ecurie Danover
G

4h1hDh1h3h7
Oddly out of sorts when 7th of 12 in a 3225m Vitre Class E last Sunday. Should not be too hastily-judged though, is 25m better off this time, and must be respected
Ecurie Marechal
G

1h3h0h2hDh8
Lost his way after a profitable spring, latterly 8th of 13 in a 2550m Dieppe Class E 3.5 weeks ago, and will need to raise his game
Ecurie De L' Iton
G

7h1h2m0h6h0
Last but one, after a long layoff, in a 2650m Cordemais Class D last weekend. Still being conditioned and others preferred
E Beudard
G

1hDh1h5h2h4
Makes right-handed debut after running 4th of 11 in a 2700m Vincennes Class D 3 weeks ago. Enjoys a front-line break and could pleasantly surprise if he turns
D Haddad
G

Dh1h1h1h2h5
Returns to racing clockwise after coming an unlucky 5th of 11 in a 2700m Vincennes Class D on 20 September. Starts in front and can make a big splash if Anthony Barrier keeps him out of trouble
Ecurie Herve Guerin
C

1h3h1h1h1h2
Won 4 from 5 before coming 2nd of 9 in a 3000m Chateaubriant Class E on 8 September. Steps up in category but has earned the right to race here and has the class to make this his own
Ecurie Jean-pierre Barjon
G
8 yrs
2hDh8h4h3h2
Has gone from strength to strength over recent weeks, most recently 2nd of 12 in a 2850m Vincennes Class D on 29 September. Is proven here and although taking on younger elements this time, can still play a role
L Aubert
G

6h1h0h9h0m6
Back under harness after trotting 6th of 10 in a 2700m Vincennes monte Class D mid-September. Nicely-entered on front line and, barefoot this time, can get a look-in
Philippe Beine

0h9m7h7hDh0
10th of 12 in a 2700m Vincennes Class C on 19 September. Has been off the boil all year and, even racing barefoot, has no realistic chance
P A Sauvaget
G
8 yrs
2h4h2h1h3h3
3rd of 10 in a 2000m Class B at Les Sables 2 months ago. Has had time to freshen up and, given his appreciation for these conditions, can overcome the penalty and finish close
Ecurie J P -f Lamare
F
7 yrs
5hDh2h1h6h1
Won 2 of last 3, latterly a 2700m Vincennes Class B a fortnight ago. Incurs the handicap but is a class above most here and has a realistic chance of imposing
Mme C Douillet

Has not been seen out since coming 10th of 14 in a 2850m Vincennes Class B late-May. Shoes on and no danger

Race Overview
A stalwart in this category of race, INFINIMENT CITRON (7) has not been seen here since 2022 but is in the form of his life, breaks in front, and looks the pick of the field. HAPPY DANICA (12) has 25m further to travel but has been superb in Paris lately and is eminently capable of defying the penalty. IMPERATOR D'ELA (6) was very unlucky at Vincennes last time; his form is sure though and he looks dangerous from the front row. In cracking form all year, GALAGO DU CADRAN (11) has a particular liking for Caen and, fresh from a spell, is not about to let the side down.
Selection:
7 - 12 - 6
