OLYMPE MANCINI (2) drops in grade today and can get back in the winning groove. PRINCESSE SAPHIR (1) has good form in these type of events and looks like the biggest threat to the selection. MIDDLE KICK (5) is in terrific shape and is seeking a hat-trick of wins. This is a stronger race than her last two but she is improving. HOUBI (3) will try to make life difficult for her rivals and warrants respect.

WIKENDA (3) made a very pleasing debut run when second at Salon-De Provence last month. She will improve a good amount for that run and looks like the likely winner. SOKNA (1) did show enough promise in the same race that WIKENDA (3) was second in. She could be the biggest danger. HAYSSOUVIE (4) has a nice profile and she should be in the mix on her debut. JUST THE GOOD WAY (6) could be the best of the remainder.

GILDED DRAGON (2) gets the vote in this after a decent effort when fourth over 1600m at Compiegne last time. His main threat looks to be LOVERS DAY (1) who has shown a liking for this track and will do his best to make life difficult for the likely favourite. ROI DE BAVIERE (5) has also run well at this venue and should play a prominent role. PARADISE STORM (4) makes up the shortlist.

GRIMAUD (4) got a deserved success last time at La Teste in September and still has plenty more to come. SANTHIA (5) is a live danger, she is very honest and has not run a bad race all season. BELAFONTE (1) warrants respect and can also have a say at the business end of the race. GIRAFFE (6) is a capable performer and ought to be thereabouts at the finish.

ALCARAZ (1) has been in excellent form of late and will be hard to beat in this competitive race. INDIAN PACIFIC (4) had a nice confidence-boosting win when last seen at this racecourse in mid-September and ought to once again be on the premises. SAINT HELLIER (2) won on the PSF two runs ago at Deauville over 1900m and is a course and distance winner in June at this venue. INDIAN PACIFIC (4) is another that should be involved.

KADIYAC (7) finally got her head in front last time over today's course and distance. She has solid course form on all six of her runs on this track and gets the verdict over DIANE'STAR (5) who did well when second on her latest outing in late September over 2000m at Lyon Parilly. PURPLE RAIN (2) is one for the each-way backers to look at after two recent second-placed efforts. BLUFF (6) can fare best of the rest.

SYLVER SAMBA (3) can go one place better than her recent second-placed effort at Lyon Parilly when last racing. LOVELY DOLLY (6) was also second on her last run and is sure to give another good account of herself today. FORCE TRANQUILLE (5) scored on the all-weather surface last time only 12 days ago and is effective on turf as well. FIELD OF GLORY (9) has yet to win but is capable of making the frame.

SOLID SPIRIT (3) scored over 2000m at this track last time in September. He steps up in trip today and if staying he looks like the best option. HAPPY HARRY (4) has won over 2500m before so this 2600m journey should not be an issue. He can have a say in proceedings. PEGASUS (7) merits consideration after a win on his last start over 2000m. BEB'S (1) is one to look at from an each-way angle.
