Has generally been in good form this season and has claims in a race of this nature
One time winner from seventeen. Flopped in last start but should bounce back
Lightly-raced gelding who will come on from his last run. All shoes off and has a good draw
Dual winner from eleven. Has an ideal draw behind the car-start and must be respected
Had a good start to the year before losing her form. Needed the run last time out on return from the summer break
One win from twenty-four and reassured in his last outing at Amiens. Respected
Showed a nice rebound of form last time out after a lean patch. Effective in this division and will have his chances
Triple winner in Belgium. Not sighted in three starts since returning from the summer break. Must reaffirm
Dual winner in Germany. Has never raced on French soil. Betting will guide
Two victories in The Netherlands. Placed several times on French soil and can pick up some money
Consistent trotter for the most part. Good last two runs in Germany but will have to improve on that
Has improved significantly since racing unshod. Not the best of draw but has to be taken into account
Went off the mark on twenty-sixth attempt at Laon last time out. Faces a tougher assignment here
Looked a promising trotter last year but has done nothing of note in four starts in 2019. Look elsewhere
Long time maiden who has done nothing of note all year. Can be overlooked
Won two from six last year. Unplaced on seasonal bow last month but will come on a lot for it
(12) FRONSAC DE BOMO is totally transformed since racing barefoot and is a tentative choice in this open contest. Watch for (6) FIGHTER CEHERE who posted a good last-start effort at Chartres and has a twenty-five meters advantage on the selection. (3) FUEGO MAZA races without shoes today and must be monitored.
One win from fifty-one starts and will be difficult to back on recent form
Has done nothing of note for a long time and is unlikely to pose a threat
Has been off the boil since September last year and cannot be worth any consideration
Modest trotter who was disqualified in his only previous start under the saddle. Ignore
Seldom wins races but was not disgraced in his last two starts in this discipline. Minor place chance
Consistent mare in both codes and cannot be excluded of the equation
Respectable this term but not as sharp as he was last season. Remains hard to rule out
Has been disqualified twice in her last three runs. Has ability though and can feature prominently if applied
Benefited from the change of discipline in 2019 and can be given some consideration from the front line
Useful trotter in the provinces on both codes. Seems to be back on form and has a good starting position on the front line
Showed better intentions in her last starts and benefits from an ideal starting position on the front line. Outside chance
Won three races in this discipline last year but has failed to place in six runs this season
Except for his last run has been consistent for most of the season and should be given consideration
Has not won a race for almost four years. Has been erratic this season and others make more appeal
Good class of a mare in this branch of the game. Needed the run last time out. Hind shoes come off today
Seven time winner who showed an unexpected rebound of form at La Capelle and in similar form will have her chances
Has enjoyed a very productive season in this code mainly on grass but has won three races on sand before and has a leading chance
(8) DALILA DE VIETTE is ideally entered on the front line and should be a leading contender if she can keep her stride together. A game third in a competitive contest last time out (16) BLUE GIRL DU FER must be given a lot of consideration. Unshod for only the second time in his career (7) DANCER FOR MONEY is worth a look in.
Both career successes on turf. Will have to raise his game significantly to win here
Registered a second career victory in a class E at La Capelle last time out. Faces a much tougher assignment today
Has done nothing of note in three previous starts over course & distance. Poor recent form
Unplaced in all three starts since returning from the summer break. Must reaffirm
Long time maiden who consistently finishes in the thick of things. Can pick up some money
Appears to have finally come to terms with himself at present. Steps up in grade and could be interesting
Only career success was on turf. Has some decent form on sand though and can spring a surprise
Useful filly that always gives her best. Gave a good account at Enghien latest and has claims on the back of this effort
A very close fourth in a similar contest at La Capelle in latest. Has a good record at the venue
Back in good form since September. Goes unshod behind once again and is respected
Course and distance winner (9) FRANKLIN PARK did not go unnoticed when finishing a close fourth in a class B contest at La Capelle and has a leading chance on the back of this effort. (10) FISTON D'AWAGNE was in front of the selection that day but has no room for improvement and could have to settle for place once again. (8) FAMOUS STAR and (7) FAKIR DE GESVRES can be in the shake-up.
Faithful for the most part this summer and has shown her form recently. Player
Very useful trotter in Belgium and was a good second when last seen on French soil in September
Got back down to business at Strasbourg in last start but faces a tougher assignment today
Smart trotter in The Netherlands but was well beaten in his last starts in France and is unlikely to pose a threat
Has not finished in the frame since October last year and is unlikely to trouble the judge
Poor recent form is probably reflective of his chances and is best to pass over
Has become far more effective on turf at present and will have limited aspirations on today's surface
Has been erratic all season and is not easy to back on recent form. Others preferred
Eight time winner from sixty-four. Showed an unexpected rebound of form at Nantes last time out and can be considered
Has been off the boil for over a year at present and is easily passed over
Back at his best since mid-August and should be given some consideration
Dependability not his strong suit but steps down in grade here and can get a look in
Just one blip on his formsheet in last five starts and even with shoes on should play a leading role
Enjoyed a productive first half of the year but not so effective of late and must reaffirm
Registered a tenth career start in an identical contest at La Capelle twelve days ago and can follow up
Poor recent form in either code is reflective of her chances. Pass over
(13) CELEBRE DE FOOT is obviously better than his recent sixth-place finish shows and is expected to bounce back to form. He will lead the charge ahead of (1) CARA JUELA who has been in fine fettle in recent weeks and (12) CAID DE CAPONET who was an eye-catcher in his last outing at Vincennes. (15) CAUCASIEN and (11) CALIMERO DU THIOLE can be in the mix.
Two places from sixteen starts this season. Out of form since July and is easily passed over
Just the one win from fifty-three but always gives everything she has and can pick up a small stake check
Enjoyed mixed fortune this season but seems to have gone off the boil at present and is best to watch
Delicate mare but has ample talent. Has a very good draw behind the car and should be at the premises
Has won three of her last four starts and has every chance of scoring again from this good draw
Thirty-six starts without winning. Will have to improve significantly to break her maiden tag
Won a modest contest on turf in June and seems to be slightly out of her league in a race of this nature
Registered a second career success on turf last August but has been regressive since
Appears to be slightly more effective under the saddle at present and does not make much appeal back under harness
Will need to improve from her eight starts so far this year to have a chance. Look elsewhere
Had shown big promise last year. Third start after a long break today and should be fully fit by now
Completely off the boil this season and has no realistic chance
Useful trotter in the other code. Off since last April and will have nothing to offer
Blows hot and cold but relishes these starting conditions and can pop-up at a big price
Has not won a race for some time but bounced back to form in an identical contest last time out and will have her chances
Long time maiden but always gives everything she has and can pick up some money
(4) ELODIE RIDGEHEAD missed all of 2018 but has come back in fine fettle this season and looks a leading player from her excellent berth behind the car-start. A winner of three of her last four starts (5) ESCUDERA is particularly effective under these starting conditions and looks the biggest danger to the selection.
Hardy sort but has failed to impress in last two and will have to improve a lot to win
Boasts a solid record when racing barefoot and must have solid claims
Very effective when racing barefoot and comes in the race in fine fettle. Leading chance
Seldom wins races but consistent for the most part. Has a good draw and must be respected
All three career successes on turf but goes well on sand too and can be in the mix
Has won two races on turf this year and was not so effective on sand. Outside chance
Won a competitive class E at Vincennes in March last year. Has long been sidelined and will need this race
Consistent trotter in this division. Does not have the best of draw. Can pick up some money though
Just the one win from thirty-nine. Poor recent form and needs to show vast improvement
Useful trotter in the provinces. Has a poor draw behind the car though and will not have it easy
Was enjoying a very productive season before his last three sanctions. Must reaffirm at present
Went through a purple patch last summer but has lost his form now and is not easy to back
Delicate sort but not void of ability and can pop-up if in the mood
Long time maiden who had hinted at ability in his early days. Has had issues but showed improvement in last start
Unremarkable sort that has failed to win in 45 starts and in current form will have nothing to give
Always gives everything he has but limited ability and is unlikely to pose a threat
(3) EQUIFLASH GIOIA did not have to dig dip to win his last start in a class E at Graignes and in similar form will take a power of beating again today. The on-form (2) ECU has run some good races in the provinces throughout the year and looks a solid candidate too. (8) ELAURIC DE CAREL has been given some time off since his last start and could be a danger too.
Form choice. Running well suited by the conditions and well placed to go close again
Dual winner from fifty-four. Is back on-form as shows his last run and must be respected
Unreliable and is battling to regain winning form. Others are preferred
Has comeback in good form since the summer break and should be a player from this good draw
Got back down to business last time out at Le Croise-Laroche and will try to follow up
Has lost his way completely this year and does need major improvement to win
Remains barefoot but has been struggling of late and needs major improvement to play a role
Reliability not his strong suit but can trot. In current form though will have few friends
Has not won for some time but showed improvement in last start at the venue. Could surprise
Best to forget last run at the venue. Goes barefoot today and is not out of it for place
Unplaced in last three starts at the venue in this division. Look elsewhere
Delicate trotter but has ample ability and cannot be ruled out of the equation
Consistent mare that always put her heart on the track. Place chance
Registered a fourth career success on turf last May but has been regressive since
Has been very modest all year and looks hard to make a case for from this poor draw
A promising but delicate horse in his early days. Is well behind in earnings and can spring a surprise
