Came good over 2700m here in late-September before running 3rd in a 2700m Graignes Class B 12 days later. Is unlikely to get her nose in front but still cannot be ruled out

Blows hot and cold but ran reassuring 2nd to MOANA MESLOISE (5) in a 2850m Class C over the inner course on 21 October. May not be as good as either stablemate but can still figure prominently

Winner of 3 of 4 to date, latterly with ease over the inner course 2.5 weeks ago. Remains undefeated at Vincennes and Pierre Belloche will be determined to keep that fact relevant

Quality future prospect dropping in category following a convincing comeback run in a Class A here last month. Goes well for her driver who will be primed to open his charge's Vincennes account

Made up for Gr.3 performance in August when 3rd of 10 in a 2700m Class B here on 26 September. Has had ample time to recover and looks competitive for a first-3 cheque

Tenacious winner over 2100m here before losing her action completely, also here, 3 weeks ago. Drops in category and Franck Ouvrie will be minded to get her off on the right foot. Chance

Sent for a well-earned rest after pulling off the hat-trick at Enghien in July, MACANA MONNERIE (6) put in a solid effort on her comeback in superior company 3 weeks ago. She will have progressed for the run and with Benjamin Rochard back in the bike can return to winning ways. She will still come under pressure from the likes of MAIA JIEL (8) who was eliminated that day, just a month after getting off the mark here, and MOANA MESLOISE (5) who has demonstrated a particular liking for Vincennes conditions. MALVINA MADRIK (7) has been afforded time to recover from her excellent run here in late-September, and can expect considerable support.
Useful type but has not been seen out since July and cannot be considered a player on Vincennes debut

Never in the mix when surprisingly last of 13 in a 2100m Class C here on 3 October. Should appreciate the sharpness of 2175m and Benjamin Rochard can be quietly confident

Put away after losing his maiden status at Caen in June. Could have imposed on re-entry late last month had he been afforded an opening and can make amends with a little more luck in running

Ran good 3rd at Cabourg before being quickly eliminated on his main-track debut in early-October. Is plainly a progressive colt and can wrap this up if he stays focused

Gave a reassuringly good account when 2nd in an Enghien Class D on 13 October. Placed over course and distance during the spring and although not a priority, can nevertheless get in on the action

Tricky he might be but the superbly-engaged MAGICAL (11) is patently a promising future prospect and can bring home the bacon if Gabriele Gelormini gets him off on the right foot. The Italian will still be wary of the erratic but talented MISTER CHARM (6) who will be reunited with Eric Raffin who won with him during the spring, and MAMBO DE JAUDRAIS (7) who should not be too hastily-condemned for failing to deliver here early last month. MALIGNO (9) was unlucky over longer on his recent comeback and Mathieu Mottier will be out to set the record straight.
Imposed under harness in Saint-Malo last weekend but has yet to show any aptitude for the monte code and is also out of his league

Runner-up in a similar event here recently, KENENISA SKILL (11) is just 175 Euros from elimination this time and Benjamin Rochard can be forgiven for expecting to win this. He will still have to take on KILLER FOR LOVA (7) who has never failed to fire when barefoot at Vincennes, and the returning KAVIASE (4) who is undefeated under the saddle. KOMDAPI DIESCHOOT (10) placed here on his recent return to the code, and has a decent chance of making the frame once more.

Comfortable winner over course and distance in September, INDY DARK (11) was not far off the winner early last month when stepped up in class, and is very easy to like for the spoils this time. Benjamin Rochard can still expect to feel the heat from IGUANE DE CAPONET (4) who has not ceased to impress since the spring, and well-engaged stablemate ILAYA (12) who ran 2nd here last time out only to be eliminated. HIMBERLAND (3) produced 7 solid performances before disappointing here late last month but can nevertheless be brought back into the fold. JAPPELOUP TURGOT (2) left a good impression in a Class A here on 30 October and warrants respect.

Difficult to handle but easy to like when focused, KUNAMATATA (13) has a race under her belt following the summer break. Shod as she was when placing over course and distance in the spring, she will be reunited with Paul Ploquin who simply excels with her. Taking her on though is the tough, and spirited, KAROLENE D'ETANG (16) who benefits from a terrific entry, and KAYA DU SAPTEL (11) who has been knocking at the door. KIMIKO DU DOUBS (14) showed at Les Sables-d'Olonne that she is nearing her best form.

Sent for a spell after winning over course and distance in late-August, the remarkably consistent COBRA KILLER GAR (3) steps back up in class but can still wrap this up. No stranger to this level of competition though, HULYSSE DIGEO (11) has looked a different horse this year and, confirmed under these conditions, looks the principal threat. Nicely-engaged at the limit of earnings, the reconfigured HANNIBAL TUILERIE (12) boasts an excellent record over 2850m of the main track and will be no pushover. JAZZMAN DEBAILLEUL (7) races at a more reasonable level this time and is unlikely to be far off the mark.

As complicated as they come, but by no means short of talent, LOVE ME AGAIN (4) will be race-fit by now, is barefoot for her first objective of the new season, and with application should have this in the bag. That being said, LASSIE (10) has turned a corner since starting to race barefoot and these conditions should be right up her street. LOU DU DONJON (1) confirmed her Enghien form over course and distance in late-October and should again figure prominently, as should the ideally-entered LA MISS ROYALE (13) who has won 2 of her last 4.

Quality mare facing first goal of the season after being conditioned behind JOURNEE REVEE (9) at Caen 3 weeks ago. Is better under the saddle but barefoot with Mathieu Mottier reining, should not be underestimated

Has done nothing but improve lately, most recently an unhurried 5th in a Caen Class B. Returns to conditions she likes and can finish closer this time

Pleasantly surprising 3rd in a Rambouillet Class E on 5 October, however a repeat seems most improbable

2nd in a Class D over 2100m here in early-September before running 3rd in a monte Gr.3, also here, a fortnight later. Franck Nivard at the helm this time and can bring the fight to JOYCE DELTO (12)

Stayed on well to run 3rd in a 2400m Beaumont-de-Lomagne Class D 2.5 weeks ago. Placed in a Craon Gr.3 two months back and given her liking for these conditions, should play a leading role

Useful type in the monte discipline and has little to show for her Vincennes efforts. Disregard

A wonderfully-consistent mare with a particular flair for 2700m here, JOYCE DELTO (12) has been knocking at the door over recent weeks and, reconfigured for the occasion, can impose. There is no shortage of opposition though, mainly in the form of JASMINE DE VAU (11) who has been excelling in both codes lately, and JAVA D'ANAMA (7) who just missed out on the 4-timer at Caen last month. 7 times a winner in her last 9 starts, JOY DU CARNOIS (4) opened her Vincennes account during the summer and with Jean-Michel reining is very easy to fancy.
Surprise 5th of 18 in a 2750m Class B at Les Sables-d'Olonne on 20 October. Shoes on again and is unlikely to ruffle any feathers this time

Capricious colt making first appearance since being eliminated under the saddle last June, and has nothing to contribute

3 times a winner over course and distance last winter. Has 3 fresheners in her since the break, will be shod to preference, and with Eric Raffin in the bike this time cannot be ignored

Serious element with solid Vincennes form, but is in conditioning-mode this time and can be passed over

Made up for course-and-distance elimination when successful in a Class B at Le Crosie-Laroche late last month. Benjamin Rochard in the bike again but is unlikely to confirm

Won over shorter here in September before coming 2nd in a competitive Class B under these conditions the following month. Takes on some better horses this time but still has the wherewithal to finish in the money

Honest type returning to the capital, not having been seen out since late-August. Boasts fine Vincennes references but with pads fitted is unlikely to spring any surprises

Serious colt with a brace of runs in him since the summer break. Goes well when barefoot and winning this is well within his capacity

Gr.2-placed colt that should be fit following a pair of re-entry races. Has nothing to prove under these conditions and will be expected to finish in the frame

Won 2 of last 3, most recently a Beaumont-de-Lomagne Class B with consummate ease, and Alexandre Abrivard will be expecting to give LORD DELO (11) a run for his money

Quality type that already boasts a Gr.3 to his name. Has had the benefit of 2 re-entry runs and, shod to preference, will take some beating

Ideally-entered close to the earnings threshold, LORD DELO (11) returns to Vincennes after having been given a 2nd conditioner in early-October, and difficult to fault in the day's configuration, can expect to garner considerable support. Jean-Michel Bazire will still be mindful of the in-form LUTIN DE REUX (10) who will be barefoot as he was when victorious under these conditions in August. Runner-up in a Gr.3 over course and distance, LOVER MAN (8) will be similarly shoeless and represents a significant danger. LE BILLET VERT (9) has a brace of comeback runs under his belt and, if close to last spring's form, will be no easy touch.
