Exceptional colt with an 80 percent strike-rate. Unraced since winning a 2700m Gr.3 here on 5 January and with shoes on will have little to contribute

5th of 9 finishers in a 2825m Class D at Le Croise-Laroche 2 weeks ago. Seldom disappoints when barefoot and has a reasonable chance of picking up some prizemoney

Quality element dropping in category after finishing an oddly lacklustre 9th of 11 finishers behind FAKIR DE MAHEY (8) in 4150m Gr.1 Prix de Paris here on 12 February. Not a priority but can still make first 5

Made it 5 in a row when comfortably winning a 2700m Gr.3 here 3 weeks ago and even though taking on some better horses this time, still looks the horse to beat

Tough individual that ran 9th of 16 in a 2850m Laval Class A conditioner 10 days ago. Races barefoot this time and looks the main danger to INEXESS BLEU (10)

Race Overview
Like a horse reborn since early-December, INEXESS BLEU (10) has won his last five here and securing a sixth straight is well within the realm of possibility. Alexandre Abrivard will still want to be wary of the hardy, and barefoot, GASPAR D'ANGIS (12) who ran 2nd to him in the Gr.3 Prix du Luxembourg in late-January, and FAKIR DE MAHEY (8) who finished third in the Gr.1 Prix de Paris a month ago. Sixth that day, IDEAL LIGNERIES (9) finds himself back at a more reasonable level and will not go down without a fight.
Selection:
10 - 12 - 8
