Race 1: 15:35 Vincennes Prix Hekate - Attele
1st (1)  Misty Green | | | | | 2 | W Bigeon | W Bigeon | Debut winner in very good style during over 2400m at Chateaubriant on 8 September. Should have more to offer |
2nd (4)  Massive Attack | | | | | 2 | Y Lebourgeois | P H Allaire | Consistent filly with undeniable means - sound references/form credentials, albeit without success. Finished an encouraging 4th on her Vincennes debut over 2100m on 5 September |
4th (6)  Mat Manathis | | | | | 2 | A Abrivard | Alexis Prat | Has revealed considerable promise/ability by finishing 2nd in both starts, the latest over 2175m at this venue on 26 August. Respected with Alexandre Abrivard in the sulky |
3rd (5)  Melody Cool | | | | | 2 | D Thomain | P H Allaire | Built on the promise of her debut 2nd at Bernay to open her account over 2250m at Enghien when last seen on 20 July. Open to improvement |
(2)  Mavista | | | | | 2 | J Dubois | J Dubois | Confirmed the promise of her debut 3rd at Les Sables-d'Olonne by finishing 2nd at Enghien last time over 2250m on 8 August. Attractive outsider |
(3)  Milord D'Irai | | | | | 2 | B Rochard | S Guarato | Consistent colt with sound references/form credentials (albeit without a victory), including a good 3rd over 2100m at this venue on 3 September |
(7)  Maggy Jenilou | | | | | 2 | E Raffin | L Baudron | Improving last-start winner over 2250m at Enghien on 8 August. Should have more to offer - beware |
(8)  Mister Du Choquel | | | | | 2 | F Lagadeuc | N Bridault | Progressive colt with a bright future. Confirmed the form and improvement of his Agon success with a last-start victory in his Vincennes debut on 10 September |
It could pay to follow the progress of promising MELODY COOL (5) who hasn't been since winning at Enghien on 20 July but is open to improvement on her reappearance. She is preferred to hat-trick seeking MISTER DU CHOQUEL (8), who won on this course last time, and unexposed MISTY GREEN (1) who won with plenty in hand when scoring on debut at Chateaubriant. MAT MANATHIS (6) appeals most of the remainder.
Race 2: 16:10 Vincennes Prix Hamale - Attele
3rd (7)  Easy Bleu | | | | | 10 | J B Lelievre | P L Desaunette | Hard-knocking veteran who acquitted himself well (5th) in a 2150m claimer at Enghien last month in this shoe-fitting. Didn't go unnoticed when 6th over 2950m at Redon on 1 September - dark horse |
2nd (5)  Gassman D'Essa | | | | | 8 | V M Morin | K Busnel | Proven at this level with sound references/form credentials in the claiming category. Bounced back to form with a reassuring 3rd over 2550m at Dieppe on 18 September - on the shortlist |
1st (2)  Falfaust | | | | | 9 | J Ferron | Pierrick Moel | Capable and seldom far off the mark on a going day, especially in this (barefoot) configuration and boasts sound references. Respected despite finishing 9th at Beaumont over 2400m on 9 September |
4th (8)  Eight | | | | | 10 | L Goetz | Robin Bouvier | Gutsy last-start winner in this category over 2875m at Enghien on 4 August. Will play a leading role |
(1)  Floralyse D'Authou | | | | | 9 | Cl Fouquet | M Varin | Complicated veteran mare seldom far from a fault but not entirely incapable of getting a look in here if remaining wise. Disqualified in her last start at Dieppe on 18 September |
(3)  Fakir De Gesvres | | | | | 9 | A Omrani | B Piton | Well-performed (10 wins) unreliable veteran. Finished 4th in a 2150m claimer at Enghien last month so isn't discounted back at this level despite finishing 13th over 2100m at this venue on 31 August |
(4)  Domino De La Brise | | | | | 11 | O Placier | Mme G Masschaele | Won a 2700m claimer at Divonne in August. Soundly beaten in both subsequent outings, the latest (10th) over 2550m at Dieppe on 18 September, though could fare better back at this level |
(6)  Fute Burois | | | | | 9 | Antoine Boutin | F Terry | Capable veteran with references in harness races at a higher level but has gone off the boil this year. Unplaced (14th) over 2950m at Redon on 1 September but may spark improvement in this category |
(9)  Eden De L'Iton | | | | | 10 | Th Bizoux | M Varin | Has references in the claiming category in this configuration but he went off the boil earlier this year and was soundly beaten (11th) over 2850m at Laval on 30 August. Others preferred |
(10)  El Paso D'Occagnes | | | | | 10 | C Enault | Alexandre Chevrier | Runner-up, in this configuration, to DORUN BEAM (14) in a 2150m claimer at Enghien on 10 August. Has legitimate claims under these/similar conditions despite his subsequent faux pas on 26 August |
(11)  Bolero Gar | | | | | 7 | Mlle Ch Bancel | Y Lavigne | Has struggled this year - disqualified 6 times and soundly beaten/unplaced in his 4 completed starts, the latest (12th) in a 2850m Quinte+ at Lyon-Parilly on 18 September |
(12)  Editeur La Ravelle | | | | | 10 | M Potier | F Terry | Out of sorts but boasts references at a higher level in this configuration and finished 5th in a 2150m claimer at Enghien in July. Not hastily condemned for a 12th over 2550m at Beaumont on 25 August |
(13)  Epistolaire | | | | | 10 | E Cive | B Le Beller | Inconsistent hard-knocking veteran with references at a higher level. Unplaced (10th) over 2550m at Beaumont on 25 August but could fare better at this level - not taken lightly in the claiming category |
(14)  Dorun Beam | | | | | 11 | Loris Bizoux | J R Delliaux | Won 2 of his last 3 starts - both victories in the claiming category, including his most recent start over 2150m at Enghien on 10 August. Sets the standard |
(15)  El Santo Haufor | | | | | 10 | Nicolas Lefevre | E Varin | Capable veteran with references in harness races at a higher level and a 2nd in the claiming category at Enghien in July. Unplaced (12th) in a 2700m Quinte+ at this venue on 19 September - dark horse |
(16)  Fragonard Delo | | | | | 9 | Leo Blavette | A Duperche | Capable veteran with references in the harness category at a higher level. Disqualified in a mounted race at this venue over 2700m on 13 September |
Victorious twice this summer at Enghien in the claiming category over 2150m, DORUN BEAM (14) sets the standard and is good value to follow up over this extended trip. He will, however, have to thwart the expected challenge of last-start winner EIGHT (8) who benefits from a 25m headstart. GASSMAN D' ESSA (5), proven in this grade, and delcate EL PASO D'OCCAGNES (10), judged on his penultimate outing, also have legitimate podium aspirations.
Race 3: 16:45 Vincennes Prix De Gimont - Monte
4th (6)  Helium De L'Iton | | | | | 7 | Mlle M Colas | F Terry | Consistent trotter proven under these/similar conditions in the mounted code. Didn't go unnoticed when 5th over 2850m at this venue on 19 September |
1st (2)  Fighter Simoni | | | | | 7 | B Rochard | Mme Tornqvist | Well-performed versatile trotter whose form and competitiveness with his irons (shod) is beyond doubt. Won back-to-back recent starts, the latest at Chateaubriant over 3000m on 8 September |
3rd (5)  It's My Dream | | | | | 6 | E Raffin | Y Desmet | Acquitted himself well when finishing 6th in a much stronger race/field at Enghien over 2875m when last seen (27 July). Respected on his reappearance with Eric Raffin aboard |
2nd (7)  Hautentica | | | | | 7 | P Ph Ploquin | P Ploquin | Thriving veteran mare at the top of her game after back-to-back wins under the saddle, the latest at Le-Mont Saint-Michel over 2675m on 8 September. Candidate for success |
(1)  In Love Reglisse | | | | | 6 | A Collette | D Reis | Honest hard-knocker with sound references in the mounted code, especially in this configuration. Showed his form/well-being when 3rd over 2925m at Le Chartre on 18 August |
(3)  Ibis De Chahains | | | | | 6 | Mlle N Henry | Pierrick Moel | Won in his last appearance under the saddle over 2550m at Beaumont on 9 September. Finished 6th in a 2575m harness race at Agen on 15 September |
(4)  Kate Baldwin | | | | | 7 | P Y Verva | H Grift | Well-traveled versatile mare with sound references/form credentials in both codes, albeit at a lower level, including a last-start 3rd over 2100m at Wolvega on 31 August. Will find this tougher |
(8)  Hanielle Crepin | | | | | 7 | Mme D Beaufils Ernault | S Ernault | Impeccable since joining Sebastien Ernault's stable, winning 4 of her last 5 starts including her last 3. Completed her hat-trick with a 2200m success at this venue on 6 September - will be hard to beat |
(9)  Initiale Castelets | | | | | 6 | A Abrivard | N Ensch | Well-performed versatile mare whose consistency in both codes is remarkable. Didn't go unnoticed when 5th in a 2850m mounted race at Lyn-Parilly on 18 September - Alexandre Abrivard in the irons |
A toss-up between in-form HANIELLE CREPIN (8) and thriving HAUTENTICA (7). Both last-start winners should fight for victory, though IT'S MY DREAM (5) is another with the means to join that scrap battle for success. INITIALE CASTELETS (9), respected on his Vincennes return, and versatile FIGHTER SIMONI (2) have legitimate podium aspirations too.
Race 4: 17:21 Vincennes Prix Emile Beziere - Attele
3rd (4)  Hamilton Du Ham | | | | | 7 | Y Lebourgeois | Y Desmet | Ultra-consistent performer with sound references/form credentials in Quinte+ races on this course, including a last-start 2nd over 2700m on 7 September. Step up in class but isn't without a chance |
2nd (10)  I Can Dream | | | | | 6 | A Abrivard | L Cl Abrivard | Versatile mare with sound references in both codes, including a last-start 4th in a 2950m Group III at Le Mans on 11 September. Presented barefoot for just the 2nd time in her career - not taken lightly |
4th (8)  Inato Pierji | | | | | 6 | D Bekaert | A Bonnefoy | Prolific trotter with 19 wins from 27 starts. Has quickly regained momentum after a lengthy absence, finishing 2nd in both comeback outings, the latest a 2850m Group III at Lyon-Parily on 18 September |
1st (6)  Jazzman Debailleul | | | | | 5 | F Nivard | E Szirmay | High-class performer with solid form references/credentials, including a creditable last-start 7th on this course in the 3000m Group I Criterium des 5 Ans on 14 September. Sets the standard |
(1)  Jupiter De Play | | | | | 5 | Leo Abrivard | Leo Abrivard | Versatile trotter with sound references in both codes - seldom far off the mark when remaining wise. Disqualified in consecutive recent outings, the latest over track and trip on 7 September |
(2)  Jingle Du Pont | | | | | 5 | G Horrach Vidal | J M Bazire | Lightly raced well-performed trotter with sufficient means, though is most effective racing unshod. Finished 7th (shod) over track and trip on 7 September |
(3)  Desiderio D'Esi | | | | | 5 | M Abrivard | M Baroncini | Caught the eye when 4th in a 2875m Group III at Enghien on 6 July. Races barefoot for the first time on his reappearance |
(5)  Indigo De Fontaine | | | | | 6 | P Ph Ploquin | L Cl Abrivard | A prolific trotter who has gone off the boil recently after a 4-month absence - unplaced (13th) on his return and disqualified last time over track and trip on 23 June. Best watched for now |
(7)  Jeroboam D'Erable | | | | | 5 | D Thomain | C L Thomain | High-class trotter(Group I winner) whose best references were achieved under the saddle. Unplaced (15th) in a Group II harness race at this venue on 31 August - for another day |
(9)  Coquaholy | | | | | 5 | G Gelormini | T Malmqvist | Capable trotter with sound references/form credentials, including a last-start 3rd in a 2140m Group I at Solvalla on 14 August. Keep safe |
Victory in this quality Group III event will likely be fought out by JAZZMAN DEBAILLEUL (6), who didn't go unnoticed in a Group I contest last time, prolific INATO PIERJI (8), presented in this shoeing configuration for just the second time in his career, and versatile I CAN DREAM (10), after her eye-catching 4th in the GNT stage at Le Mans. Both COQUAHOLY (9) and DESIDERIO D'ESI (3), unshod for the first time, should not be underestimated.
Race 5: 17:56 Vincennes Prix D'issigeac - Monte
3rd (2)  Joule De La Fye | | | | | 5 | A Voisin | F Coppyn | Proven under the saddle and commendably consistent in the mounted code. Showed his form and well-being when 3rd over 2775m at Les Sables-d'Olonne on 6 September |
2nd (3)  Jezabelle Bie | | | | | 5 | P Ph Ploquin | M Izzo | Versatile mare rarely seen in the mounted code but a convincing winner when last seen under in this category at Le Mont-Saint-Michel (over 2675m) on 26 June. Keep safe |
4th (10)  Jagerbomb | | | | | 5 | B Rochard | W Bigeon | Unlucky not to have achieved a better result last time (5th) in a 2100m harness race on this course at this venue on 17 September. Can strike a big blow on his debut under the saddle |
1st (1)  Jamaica Phedo | | | | | 5 | E Raffin | Olivier Touvais | Complicated mare seldom far from a fault - disqualified in 4 of her last 6 appearances, including her latest in a harness race over track and trip on 10 September. Presented for the first time in this fitting |
(4)  Jezabel Mahcath | | | | | 5 | Christopher Corbineau | P Sorais | Confirmed in the mounted code with sound references/form credentials under the saddle, including a last-start 4th over 2850m at Laval on 16 September |
(5)  Joria Mesloise | | | | | 5 | J Maillard | P Belloche | Useful performer in the harness category when unshod. Switches to the mounted code for the first time after finishing 7th in a 2850m Quinte+ at this venue on 6 September |
(6)  Jaff De Meslay | | | | | 5 | Mlle H Godey | Bert Lefevre | Versatile trotter with references in both codes - seldom far off the mark on a going day and didn't go unnoticed when 5th in a 2850m mounted race at Laval on 16 September. Attractive outsider |
(7)  Jaguar De Villetot | | | | | 5 | P Y Verva | David Lefevre | Capable but inconsistent trotter with sound references under the saddle in this configuration. Made no impression in a 2700m harness race at La Capelle on 27 August |
(8)  Jupiter Du Perche | | | | | 5 | A Lamy | A Rigo | Delicate trotter seldom far from a fault but has undeniable means and usually acquits himself well when applied. Not hastily condemned for his disqualification over track and trip on 5 September |
(9)  Judy Blue Eyes | | | | | 5 | L Jublot | L Jublot | Battling long-time maiden (38 starts) unlikely to break her duck on the evidence of her last-start 6th over 2850m at Laval on 16 September. Others preferred |
Ideally engaged at the earnings limit, JAGERBOMB (10) could be worth siding with on his debut under the saddle after an unlucky 5th last time in a harness race at this venue. mounted code the saddle. Enigmatic JAMAICA PHEDO (1), with Eric Raffin aboard for the first time, has the means to make life difficult for that rival if avoiding disqualification. Both JEZABELLE BIE (3), back in the mounted category, and consistent JEZABEL MAHCATH (4) aren't incapable of staking a claim either.
Race 6: 18:28 Vincennes Prix Bianca - Attele
3rd (9)  Loic D'Avel | | | | | 3 | A Barrier | M Helbert | Wasn't winning out of turn when opening his account with a last-start maiden success at Vire earlier this month (4 September). Keep safe |
1st (8)  Louis Quatorze | | | | | 3 | Y Lebourgeois | F Nivard | Finished a reassuring 4th over 2950m at Le Mans on 11 September and presented plated on all four feet for the first time with Yoann Lebourgeois at the helm. Not taken lightly |
2nd (6)  Le Porto | | | | | 3 | R Derieux | R Derieux | Won 2 of his 3 completed outings (4 starts). Showed his form/well-being by finishing 3rd over 2875m at Enghien on 8 August |
(1)  Latino Lover | | | | | 3 | Leo Abrivard | L Cl Abrivard | Complicated colt often disqualified (in 6 of his 9 starts) but has undeniable means - finished on the podium in all 3 completed outings, winning once. Question of wisdom |
(2)  Latino Bello | | | | | 3 | Anthony Dollion | Anthony Dollion | Delicate but undeniably talented colt - won 2 of his 3 completed races (5 starts). Shouldn't be hastily condemned for his most recent failure (disqualification) at the venue on 10 September |
(3)  Lion Sur Mer | | | | | 3 | A Collette | Mlle Lemoine | Showed promise in the provinces but has struggled on Parisian soil. Finished unplaced (7th) at this venue over 2175m on 10 September |
(4)  Louisdor Dechambou | | | | | 3 | P Geray | R Westerink | Delicate colt (disqualified in 5 of his 9 starts) with undeniable means. Finished a reassuring 3rd over 2550m at Beaumont on 25 August - confirmation required |

(11)  Le Laureat Du Parc | | | | | 3 | Ch Martens | V Martens | Has regained momentum and got his career back on track with consecutive victories, the latest over 2725m at Cabourg on 2 July. Respected on his reappearance |
(12)  Lewis River | | | | | 3 | P Ph Ploquin | S Guarato | Exciting prospect who revealed considerable means by winning consecutive starts in the provinces. Bounced back from a subsequent disqualification to finish 2nd over 2875m at Enghien on 8 August |
LEWIS RIVER (12) was beaten only by a smart sort at Enghien last month and gets the nod to reconnect with success at the expense of progressive LOMBARDO DE LOU (10) in his hat-trick bid. LE PORTO (6), finished 3rd behind the selection last time, and hat-trick seeking LE LAUREAT DU PARC (11) also have the means to join the fight for victory. LOIC D'AVEL (9), a last-start winner at Vire, and LOUIS QUATORZE (8) complete the shortlist.
Race 7: 19:00 Vincennes Prix Myrrha - Attele
1st (3)  Klasse De Bruzeau | | | | | 4 | B Rochard | S Roger | Inconsistent filly but seldom finished far off the mark on a going day and didn't go unnoticed when 5th on this course over 2850m on 5 September. Attractive outsider |
3rd (10)  Keadye Cash Du Dan | | | | | 4 | D Thomain | C L Thomain | Has regained momentum/rediscovered form in this configuration in 3 outings at Graignes over 2700m, winning on 27 June and finishing 2nd there last time out (22 August). Warrants respect |
4th (9)  Kalika Du Ris | | | | | 4 | F Lagadeuc | B Bourgoin | Delicate but usually acquits her competitively when avoiding disqualification, especially at this level. Finished in a 2850m claimer at this venue on 5 September - will be a factor if remaining wise |
2nd (5)  Kajou Josselyn | | | | | 4 | P Ph Ploquin | S Guarato | Considerably talented but is often at fault these days - disqualified in 5 of his last 7 starts, including the latest Cabourg on 23 August. Has the means to redeem himself at this level if avoiding disqualification |
(1)  Kalina Star | | | | | 4 | P Geray | F Terry | Long-time maiden (20 starts) who sparked improvement in this shoeing configuration to finish 4th in a 2850m claimer at this venue on 5 September. Dark horse |
(2)  Koh Samui Bond | | | | | 4 | A Abrivard | L Cl Abrivard | Delicate filly seldom far from a fault - disqualified in 4 of her last 5 appearances, including her latest in a claimer over 2850m at this venue on 5 September. Question of wisdom |
(4)  Klif Du Dezert | | | | | 4 | F Ouvrie | S Roger | Finished 2nd in a course-and-distance claimer on 24 August and shouldn't be hastily condemned for a last-start 9th (shod) at Le Mans on 11 September. Unshod for the first time back in a claimer - keep safe |
(6)  Keatana Du Metz | | | | | 4 | E Raffin | J Robert | Capable but inconsistent 20-start maiden who didn't go unnoticed when 6th in a 2850m at this venue on 5 September. Respected with Eric Raffin in the sulky |
(7)  Ketmie Princesse | | | | | 4 | P Y Verva | S Roger | Complicated filly seldom far from a fault. Disqualified in a claimer over 2850m at this venue last time (5 September). Best watched for now |
(8)  King Fly | | | | | 4 | J Leroulley | Jules Leroulley | Showed early promise by winning his first 2 completed outings (3 starts) but has lost his way this year. Unplaced in 4 starts and disqualified in 2 recent outings - the latest at Le Mans on 11 September |
(11)  Kronos Du Gite | | | | | 4 | Leo Abrivard | Leo Abrivard | Placed once in 12 starts this year in a mounted race on this course in February. Soundly beaten since in 7 completed outings, the latest (9th) on this course over 2200m on 3 September |
(12)  Kado De Vandel | | | | | 4 | Y Lebourgeois | P Godey | Unreliable colt with undeniable means - debut winner at Saint-Omer in April 2023. Won 2850m claimer at Laon in mid-May but has struggled since and finished unplaced (8th) at Cagnes on 27 July |
(13)  Kache Kache | | | | | 4 | Cedric Terry | F Terry | Won her first 2 completed races (3 starts) last year but lost her way/form in 2024. Caught the eye with a reassuring 2nd over 2550m at Dieppe on 16 September - confirmation required |
(14)  Kiara Des Bordes | | | | | 4 | A Rebeche | S T Meunier | Disqualified in 3 of her last 4 starts, including consecutive recent starts - the latest on this course over 2100m on 5 September |

(18)  Kiara Du Saptel | | | | | 4 | A Lamy | M Varin | Inconsistent long-time maiden (20 starts) unlikely to break her duck on the evidence of her last start at this venue over track and trip - finished 9th on 5 September. Best watched for now |
Enigmatic KAJOU JOSSELYN (5) has the means to succeed at this level and he could restore his image in his first outing in the claiming category, though needs to avoid disqualification to get his career back on track. KALIKA DU RIS (9), proven in this grade, and KLIF DU DEZERT (4), who races barefoot for the first time, will expose any chinks in the selection's armour. KEATANA DU METZ (6), with Eric Raffin at the helm, last-start winner KIM BLUE (17), and KEADYE CASH DU DAN (10) could get into th
Race 8: 19:32 Vincennes Prix Hydrus - Attele
3rd (6)  La Mitidja | | | | | 3 | A Lamy | J L Giot | Lightly raced filly with undeniable means and scope for improvement. Didn't go unnoticed when 5th over 2950m at Le Mans on 11 September |
1st (4)  La Viva De Lou | | | | | 3 | Leo Abrivard | Leo Abrivard | Has revealed serious means/ability, finishing on the podium in all 3 completed outings (4 starts) and showed her form/well-being with a reassuring 2nd over 2875m at Enghien on 25 May. Respected |

4th (8)  Leda Mesloise | | | | | 3 | E Raffin | P Belloche | He was slightly disappointing although far from disgraced when finishing 4th over 2175m at this venue on 14 September. On the shortlist |
(1)  La Guardia | | | | | 3 | G Gelormini | G Roig-Balaguer | Capable filly with references at this level but has lost her way recently after winning at Feurs in July. Unplaced in consecutive appearances at this venue, the latest (8th) over 2175m on 13 September |
(3)  L'Etoile De Roche | | | | | 3 | D Thomain | Ph E Trible | Progressive 12-start maiden improved in this configuration. Has finished 3rd in 4 consecutive starts, the latest over track and trip on her Vincennes debut on 28 August - attractive outsider |
(5)  Lady Dalm | | | | | 3 | A Barrier | J Monclin | Improved with each start to win at La Ferte-Vidame in early August and finished an eye-catching 2nd on her Vincennes debut over 2100m on 6 September. Candidate for success |
(7)  Lady Du Pommereux | | | | | 3 | F Ouvrie | S Roger | Runner-up over track and trip in this shoe-fitting on her Vincennes debut in May but has struggled in subsequent outings, unplaced 3 times and disqualified in her last start at Le Mans on 11 September |
(9)  Licorne Quick | | | | | 3 | A Rebeche | S T Meunier | Rewarded for consistency with a deserved last-start maiden victory, in this shoe-fitting, at Cabourg over 2050m on 27 August. Beware |
(10)  Luna D'Arnhem | | | | | 3 | G A Pou Pou | G A Pou | Consistent filly with sound references/form credentials, albeit without success. Caught the eye with a good 3rd at this venue over 2175m on 13 September |
(11)  Latina Tournibois | | | | | 3 | P Y Verva | S Deglas | Capable but inconsistent filly seldom far off the mark on a going day, albeit at a lower level. Finished 9th over 2875m at Enghien on 28 July - best watched for now |
(12)  Lumiere Du Chene | | | | | 3 | P Ph Ploquin | J Mer | Confirmed the form/improvement of her Enghien 5th last month by finishing 3rd behind two quality rivals over 2750m at La Capelle on 4 September. Keep safe |
LUNA PARK (2) caught the eye when 2nd at Graignes last month and she confirmed that improvement with a last-start success at Pornichet. With further progress expected, she needs only to avoid disqualification to fight for victory again. Improving LADY DALM (5), runner-up on her Vincess debut, and LEDA MESLOISE (8), with Eric Raffin at the helm, appear those best equipped to challenge the selection for race honour, though LA VIVA DE LOU (4) isn't underestimated on her reappearance.
