Back under the saddle after finishing 9th of 16 in a 2200m amateurs harness Class G here last week. Front shoes off but still not easy to recommend

Put in a decent effort to run 4th of 12 behind IRAFARA (2) in a Class F over course and distance a fortnight ago. Has previously imposed under these conditions and must be afforded respect

Encouraged at Bihorel-les-Rouen before being sanctioned in a 2550m Reims Class G on 15 March and will need to show marked improvement

m3m4m5h0h7h9
9th of 13 in a 2700m harness Class F at Le Croise-Laroche mid-month. Has solid ridden references and if fully-fit following a lengthy layoff, will be no easy touch

12th of 16 in a 2875m Meslay amateurs harness Class G, on comeback, 10 days ago. Barefoot for return to the code but at this level will have too much to do
Florian Menay

7th of 15 in a 2675m Lisieux harness Class F mid-month. Has never shown any particular bent for the discipline and is unlikely to generate much interest

Takes a marginal dip in category after having run 6th of 15 in a 2850m Laval Class E a fortnight ago. Placed in 3 of 5 Caen starts and is worth retaining. First 5

Quality element facing first objective of 2025 after being sanctioned in a 2850m Laval amateurs harness Class D on re-entry 2 weeks ago. Will have been specifically prepared for this and looks a serious proposition
G Sarfati

Sanctioned when preparing for this in a 2900m Amiens harness Class F 10 days ago. Dynamic in all 3 monte starts this year, faces a test in her new configuration, but will still take all the beating

7th of 16 in a 2900m Challans Class G on 9 March. Frequently indisciplined but has shown serious monte potential and is not to be underestimated

7th of 11 in a 2725m Graignes harness Class F 10 days ago. Front pads fitted this time but a minor place chance at best

Race Overview
Hard to fault when focused, IVRE DE TOI (11) returns to her code of preference after freshening up at Amiens and, sporting 4 pads for the first time, can make her Caen bow a winning one. Thibaut Dromigny is still going to be keeping a keen eye on IRAFARA (2) who, even with shoes fitted, looks a major player. Reunited with Mathieu Mottier following her Laval conditioner, IAROSLAVA (10) will be shod to preference with a good hand to play. Close behind Alain Gendrot's mare recently, ILIADE DE L'ITON (4) is unlikely to get her nose in front but still has every chance of making the podium.

11 - 2 - 10
