Showed a liking for these conditions when 2nd in a Class B last October. Showed her form at San Siro earlier in the month and the draw will do her chances no disservice

Made up for New Year's Day elimination when dominating a Class D over course and distance a fortnight ago. Has a lot going for her here and will justifiably garner considerable support

Never far from faulting but ran encouraging 4th in a 2700m Class D here 12 days ago and despite having pulled a tough number, still looks good enough to get in on the action

Impressive at home in Italy, GITANA FLAMENCO (8) came to Vincennes late last month and ran away with a 2700m Class D. She returns to a more familiar distance and even though drawn wide still looks the one to beat. MILADY OF PARIS (5) though, set her personal-best time when imposing under these conditions a fortnight ago and is better-placed behind the car. Fine 2nd on her sole appearance here, DAY AND NIGHT (2) will be reconfigured for the occasion and should not disappoint. MASAI MARA (7) may not have been seen out since September but she thrives with Eric Raffin and will be competitively-shod for the first time.
Takes a notable dip in category after finishing unplaced in a 2100m Gr.2 here 3 weeks ago, but still seems to be out of her depth

Won 2 on the trot over course and distance before coming 4th in a 2925m Cagnes Gr.3 2.5 weeks ago. Takes on a much better bunch this time but will be competitively-shod and reined by Eric Raffin

Produced a 22-1 surprise when 3rd to MINUTY DU GERS (9) in 2850m Gr.3 Prix d'Orthez here a fortnight ago. Not as competitively-shod this time but is still one to keep an eye on

MINUTY DU GERS (9) has simply gone from strength to strength over recent months, latterly dominating the Gr.3 Prix d'Orthez, and is going to take all the beating. Sent for a rest after winning the Gr.3 Prix Albert Rayon in December, MAYA DU SURF (10) was eliminated on comeback that day, when clearly full of running, and must be taken more seriously this time. MAKE YOUR DAY (8) also failed to deliver on re-entry but he is a colt whose limits have yet to be defined and is not incapable of setting the cat among the pigeons. MAKE A DREAM (11) would have finished closer than 6th on that occasion had he not endured some misfortune, and Julien Dubois runs him first-time barefoot.
Lost his way late last season but has merit. Is barefoot for re-entry and, while not a priority, is not to be written off either

Returns to preferred configuration, and steps back up in category, after running 3rd in a claimer over course and distance on 22 January. A repeat, however, seems most improbable

An absolute dynamo in the day's configuration. Showed great tenacity in victory here earlier in the month, from a bad draw. Is not well-positioned this time either but is still easy to recommend

Like a horse reborn over recent months, I STILL LOVING YOU (4) put in a fine performance to run 2nd here in early-January before going on to win at Nantes. IN RACE LORRAINE (11) beat him that day and, even with 4 pads fitted, looks competitive, but may first have to defer to IZIJAL (12) who finished 3rd that day prior to imposing here on 1 February, and IBIZA EVENING (6) who makes her Vincennes bow after turning a corner on the Riviera recently.
Reliability not his strong suit but courageously secured a Class D over course and distance 2.5 weeks ago. On the inside this time and in better company, but still warrants respect

Considered good enough to run the Italian Derby, GAUDI LAKSMY (2) may not have delivered that day, but he got straight down to business on his comeback last month and, barefoot for the first time, makes his Vincennes bow with a realistic chance making it a victorious one. MOZART SAUTONNE (14) has been less fortunate with the draw but he gave a fine account here early last week and, also first-time barefoot, will be no easy touch. MISTER MOMO (12) returns to a distance he appreciates after having impressed over longer 2 weeks ago and, even from the 2nd line, can play an important part. MADMAX JEF (7) has been reconfigured for his first start under these particular conditions and in current form is hard to ignore.

A wonderful campaigner with an enviable strike-rate, COBRA KILLER GAR (7) has won 14 of his last 17 starts, most recently with consummate ease, and will be well-backed to repeat. He does, however, face a serious threat this time in the form of a barefoot HORCHESTRO (13) who has been knocking at the door. HORATIUS D'ELA (3) just had the measure of ISOFOU DU CHENE (2) here recently, although Paul Ploquin's mount looks a better bet on this occasion. Just headed in a Class A here early this month, KSAR (4) will not be available at 16-1 this time.

A top-tier trotter JEROBOAM D'ERABLE (7) ran a fine 3rd place in the Gr.1 Prix de Cornulier on 18 January before being eliminated in the Gr.1 Prix de l'Ile-de-France over shorter here 2 weeks later. Respectively 5th and 6th in the same 2 races, IDEALE DU CHENE (10) may not have lived up to expectations but he can still turn the tables on JE M'ENVOLE (4) and Prix Bilibili winner, KEENGAME (5), who finished ahead of her that day.

Serious Swedish element that gave a fine account here last month before trying his hand in the other code. Is confirmed over a similar trip and should be good enough to finish in the mix

Excellent servant returning to the capital on a 3-timer. Trainer passes the reins to his brother who has already won with him, and who can do so again

At the top of his game since last autumn, FREEDOM (NOR) (10) returns to Paris after winning a brace in the provinces and with Eric Raffin back in the bike has a realistic chance of completing the hat-trick. It will be no easy task though if the capricious JOSHUA PEJI (1) manages to stay in stride from one end of the race to the other. HOMARD LAND (12) is nicely-engaged here and imposed with ease under these very conditions late last month. DIABEL (3) takes on the boys this time but takes a dip in category and should be competitive at the business end of affairs.
Has started to make good on her promise but is not cut from the same cloth as others here and will have limited prospects

Acquitted herself well on re-entry when close 2nd to MAITRE JACQUES (5) in Gr.2 Prix Ephrem Houel 2 weeks ago, but in the presence of hardened older horses, is unlikely to spring any surprises

Has merit but eliminated in 3 of last 4. Is competitively-shod for first time, with Eric Raffin reining, but in this company chances seem slim

By almost a half-second, is the fastest horse in the field under these conditions. Is the richest horse here for a reason and will be expected to contest the finish

Barefoot as she always is when competing at this level, LIZA JOSSELYN (8) encounters none of those she met when 3rd in the Gr.1 Prix Bold Eagle recently and can return to successful ways. Third to L'AS DESBOIS (7) in the Gr.2 Prix Ovide Moulinet, LOVINO BELLO (9) looks thoroughly capable of turning the tables. It was at 40-1 that MAESTRO VRIE (4) won the Gr.1 Prix Ourasi late last month and the question regarding whether it was a fluke or not is still unanswered.
Surprise winner of Gr.2 Prix Raoul Balliere over course and distance 3 months ago, but has done little of note since and, even from the front row, can be passed over

3rd of 9, a place behind MISS DES BESACES (3), in Gr.2 Prix de Pardieu over course and distance on 17 January, but failed to confirm 3 weeks ago, and others easier to support

Useful filly that has been pleasing in her own age-group, and ran 2nd in Gr.2 Prix de Pardieu over course and distance last month. Will be barefoot and the 25m head-start will do her prospects no disservice

Alternates well between the 2 disciplines and has been showing his form this winter. Pleased on re-entry when 2nd in a 2700m harness Gr.3 here and, although not a contender, still looks capable of making first 5

Eliminated in Prix de Cornulier but reassured with Gr.1 victory just a fortnight later. Presents excellent credentials under these conditions and has a reasonable chance of bringing the fight to LIONHEART (10)

Simply superb in this branch of the business, LIONHEART (10 ) was forced to watch London secure the Gr.2 Prix Paul Bastard earlier this month but he will race barefoot this time and is going to take all the beating. Eric Raffin will still want to be wary of the tricky but immensely talented KAPAULA DE L'EPINE (11) who lifted the Gr.1 Prix de l'Ile-de-France earlier in the month. Although eliminated that day, KYT KAT (12) is very much at home over 2175m and, if applied, can fill a step on the podium. Runner-up to the favourite in the Gr.2 Prix Camille Blaisot late last month, LISBONNE DRY (7) returns to racing barefoot and must be taken more seriously this time.
Tricky Italian import that was given an easy introduction to Vincennes 12 days ago. Is still in conditioning-mode and can be ruled out

MAGIQUE HAUFOR (10) put on quite the show here earlier in the month despite only finishing 4th, and has every chance of returning to winning ways if Damien Bonne keeps her in touch this time. A fast-finishing MISS DISCO (11) just pipped GAGA LADY (ITY) (5) here earlier in the month and they look set to do battle again. Tricky Italian filly, GUARDAMI (4), opened her French account late last month, on her first appearance for Mathieu Mottier's yard.
