Unthreatening 6th of 8 finishers behind FINLANDIA TOR (3) in a 2100m Class C here earlier in the month and is unlikely to improve on that
Bruni Racing Team Ab

Has not been seen out since running 5th of 7 over 1640m in Halmstad on 17 January. Barefoot for first start for new stable and will be no easy touch if she takes to the new profile
Ecurie D M Mottier

5th of 8 finishers in a 2100m Class C here earlier in the month. Does not have a bad draw to contend with this time and merits retaining
Michele Punzo

Last of 12 to LILY MARGOT (6) in a 2850m Class B here on 1 March and is not about to replicate her Danish form
Ecurie Rhythm & Blues

4h4h2-h1h8
8th of 10 in a tough 2100m Gr.2 here on 8 February. Has conditions more to her liking this time and can trot off with the silverware
J Cottel

2hD-h5h2h1
Missed out by little here in February before trouncing the opposition in a 2850m Class B here on 1 March, and Yoann Lebourgeois can be justifiably confident of another big performance
Ec Normandy Spirit

Unraced since losing her action in a 2175m monte Gr.2 here late-November. Not a concern
A Ripoll Rigo

Sanctioned early in a Class A over course and distance on 26 January. Thrives with the day's driver and can play a prominent role if she gets off on the right foot
Ch Germain

6h7-h4h3h1
Has been improving all the while, latterly a dogged winner of a 2650m Bordeaux Class D a fortnight ago, and Eric Raffin will have LUDIVINE (5) in his sights. Chance
Mme Y Engelke

8h5h4-h3hD
Makes first appearance since being sanctioned in a Gr.3 under these conditions on 12 January. Shoes on and best to hold off
D Haddad

Sanctioned in last 2, most recently a 2850m Gr.3 here late-January. Comes here fresh and reconfigured and, if applied, could well upset the apple-cart. Attention

Race Overview
After holding her own against the colts in the Gr.2 Prix Ephrem Houel last month, LUDIVINE (5) has just her own sex to contend with this time and consistently goes well for Benjamin Rochard. Even better since starting to race barefoot, LOLITA BOURBON (9) kept her right-handed record intact at Bordeaux recently and Eric Raffin has every right to believe she can open her Vincennes account. LILY MARGOT (6) steps marginally up in category after running away with a Class B earlier in the month, and is not incapable of repeating. LAUREATE DRY (8) has had time to recalibrate following her January sanction and has won her last 2 when reined by Alexandre Abrivard.
