Aéro Kingille viimeinen GNT-osakilpailu

Transcription

1 Aéro Kingille viimeinen GNT-osakilpailu Grand National du Trot-kilpailusarjan viimeinen, 13. etappi juostaan Rouenin lähellä sijaitsevalla Mauquenchyn radalla. Viime starttinsa perusteella Virginie Lecroquen valmentama Aéro King on vahvoilla, sillä ruuna voitti Vincennesissä talvimeetingin avauspäivänä näytöstyyliin. Toinen suosikki on Saint- Galmierin GNT-osakilpailun lokakuussa voittanut 1 Classic Way. 2. lähtö: Grand National du Trot (Gr III, 5-10) 2850 metriä volttilähetys Ylmäessä johtopaikan ottanut 5 Aéro King karkasi muilta kolme viikkoa sitten Vincennesissä. Ruuna voitti edellisen Mauquenchyn starttinsa viime vuonna. Saint-Galmierissä voittanut 1 Classic Way oli kaksi viikkoa sitten pettymys Nantesin osakilpailussa, sillä offensiivisesti ajettu Philippe Billardin suojatti antoi periksi loppsuoran alussa. GNT-kilpailusarjan pistekilpailua johtava, takamatkalta lähtevä 10 Tiger Danover kiri Nantesissa takajoukosta vahvasti kolmanneksi. Nantesissa alkumatkalla häirittynä laukannut tamma 8 Violine Mourotaise pystyy myös hyvällä juoksulla taistelemaan kärkisijoista. Paaluhevosista kannattaa huomioda myös Grand National du Trotin osakilpailut alkukaudella voittaneet 4 Best Buissonay (Lyon), 7 Bon Copain (Reims) ja 2 Aprion (Marseille). A: 5, 1, 10 B: 8, 4, 7, 2 4. lähtö: Prix Paris Normandie (EU, 7-8) 2850 metriä volttilähetys Alle euroa voittaneiden 7-8-vuotiaden EU-hevosten lähdössä ottavat yhteen 2 Quincy Hornline ja 3 Romi Mms. Vincent Lacroixin ruotsalaisruuna Quincy Hornline voitti kaksi viimeistä starttiaan Chartresissa ja Cavaillonissa vakuuttavasti. Souloy-Billard Teamin italialaistamma Romi Mms hävisi maaliskuussa Mauquenchyssä tallitoverille Shogun D.K. lle maalikuvassa. Usein sijoittuva 12 Azur des Caillons menetti viimeksi kakkossijan murtautumisen takia. 14 Apollo de Souvigné juoksee pitkän tauon jälkeisessä toisessa startissaan kengittä. Viime viikon keskiviikkona kakkossijalta viimeisessä kaarteessa laukannut 11 Valentino Dream pystyy ravilla pysyessään sijoittumaan totoon. A: 3, 2 B: 12, 14, lähtö: Prix du Conseil Départemental, m (EU, 6-10) 2850 metriä volttilähetys Björn Goopin tallin kuusi kertaa Ranskassa montéssa voittanut 13 Julio de Luxe on alle euroa voittaneiden vanhempien EU-hevosten lähdön suursuosikki. Ruotsalaisruunaa ratsastaa Alexandre Abrivard. Hyvät näytöt viimeisistä montéstarteissaan on myös 11 Butch Cassidyllä. 4 Bambino du Pré voitti montéssa heinäkuussa Vichyssä. 8 Barry de Courtison oli viimeksi takamatkalta kolmas oppilaslähdössä. Franck Annen tamma 7 Bellaya starttaa montéssa ensimmäisen kerran viime tammikuun jälkeen. A: 13 B: 11, 4, 8, 7 Vihjeet: Risto Olamo

2 PMU:n vihjeet englanniksi Mauquenchy 22 nd November Race 1: Prix Maurice de Folleville 2850m Harness race 3yo Grade A ELIOTT CHERI - Won a minor event earlier in the season but trounced here early last month and appears to have nothing to give 2. ESUS DE VIETTE - Still a maiden from 16. Has been struggling of late and offers little hope 3. EPIA DE TOUCHYVON - Has a brace of victories to her name but not particularly dependable and recent results do nothing to inspire confidence 4. EXPRESS EVENING - Sanctioned more often than not. Unthreatening behind Esteban Jiel last time and not a priority 5. ESTEBAN JIEL - Not once out of the first three so far. Gave a good account at Vincennes a fortnight ago and should be in a position to pick up a cheque 6. EQUINOXE JIEL - Delicate but not short of ability. Pleased behind Elu D'Occagnes last week and will have his supporters 7. ELU D'OCCAGNES - Consistent colt that has returned to competition in good order. Ran third to Elite De Jiel early November before leaving a good impression in a Class D at Vincennes. Steps up in class and a respectable place chance 8. ELITE DE JIEL - Serious sort that has won three of her last five. Facile winner in a Class B at Le Croise- Laroche earlier in the month and looks competitively well in here 9. ECUME DE REVILLE - Erratic but talented filly. Finished a solid second in a G.III last month before coming sixth to Erminig D'Oliverie in a G.II two weeks ago. Steps back up in trip and down in class and can impose despite the penalty (9) ECUME DE REVILLE has warmed up nicely ahead of her winter campaign and given how well she acquitted herself recently should be able to overcome the penalty. That said, (8) ELITE DE JIEL returned to winning ways at Le Croise-Laroche earlier in the month and from the front line should prove the principal threat. The consistent (7) ELU D'OCCAGNES trotted third to her that day and has since confirmed - and must be taken seriously. (5) ESTEBAN JIEL has hardly set a foot wrong since his debut and despite the step up in class should still generate interest. Selections: (9) ECUME DE REVILLE - (8) ELITE DE JIEL - (7) ELU D'OCCAGNES - (5) ESTEBAN JIEL Race 2: Grand National du Trot 2850m Harness race 5-10yo Gr III CLASSIC WAY - Won the penultimate GNT stage at Saint-Galmier courageously before acting up at Nantes two weeks ago. Breaks from the front again and with his mind on the game can win this 2. APRION - Not easy to knock in the GNT series. Has had two return starts and with four shoes off this time can make the most of his front row start 3. VANDERLOV - Tends to show more under the saddle these days but has a front-line start and can expect some but not much support 4. BEST BUISSONAY - Back on the ball following some troubled runs. Some time since he has started on the front line and should be able to give this a good go 5. AERO KING - Serious sort when barefoot and winner of his only start over the distance here. Won a Class C at Vincennes with authority last time and from the front line looks a serious contender 6. AGORA - Capable on a good day but has not been seen out for over three months and will need the race

3 7. BON COPAIN - Winner of his last start in the series. Is presently in good shape and will have his supporters 8. VIOLINE MOUROTAISE - Can prove a handful but has a good record in this series and with application can pick up another cheque 9. URSA MAJOR - Previously a good sort but has done nothing of note since March and can be passed over 10. TIGER DANOVER - Not always east to trust but after trotting third at Nantes recently must be respected 11. ALIENOR DE GODREL - Good dual-purpose mare but dependability not her strong suit. Unplaced at Vincennes last time and must find more 12. ALTESSE DU MIREL - Beginning to get back in shape after a long layoff. Encouraged at Vincennes two weeks ago but will struggle from the second line 13. ALPHA SALTOR - Considerably better horse in the ridden code and can be confidently disregarded 14. ULKA DES CHAMPS - High-class mare in the other branch of the game and with shoes on will have nothing to give 15. UNIFLOSA BELLA - Serious mare that seldom disappoints when barefoot but remains shod here and others preferred 16. VIRGIOUS DU MAZA - Dynamic since the spring but is shod for the occasion and with an extra 50m to trot will have nothing to offer 17. UDAYAMA - Moderate sort with better aptitude for the ridden code and can be written off 18. UPPERCUT DE MANCHE - Finished unplaced at Nantes when shod but goes barefoot this time and although on the third line can still make the first five After winning smartly at Saint-Galmier last month (1) CLASSIC WAY showed his capricious side at Nantes two weeks ago but can still impose from the first line. Winner of his only start over the trip here (5) AERO KING won with brio at Vincennes earlier in the month and looks a tough opponent. (4) BEST BUISSONAY seldom disappoints when applied and on this rare occasion he starts in front could prove something of a spoiler. The classy (18) UPPERCUT DE MANCHE was not disgraced when seventh at Nantes but is unshod in front this time and despite the 50m penalty can still get a look in, as can (10) TIGER DANOVER who trotted third on that occasion. Selections: (1) CLASSIC WAY - (5) AERO KING - (4) BEST BUISSONAY - (18) UPPERCUT DE MANCHE - (10) TIGER DANOVER - (8) VIOLINE MOUROTAISE - (2) APRION - (7) BON COPAIN Race 3: Grand Prix des Amateurs Amateurs 2850m Harness race 6-9yo Grade F VALBERT DE WALDAM - Superior class of horse in this category with eleven wins from last 13 and from the front line should impose once more 2. BETWEEN - Solid over recent months and although unplaced at Nantes should bounce back with a solid effort 3. VADELLE SHEBA - Handy mare in the amateur division. Backs up three days after a Vincennes clinker but still not to be ignored 4. ALPHA GEDE - Has form at this level but out of the frame in last six and will need to do more 5. BEST JENILOU - Pleases for the most part but off the boil at present and not a consideration 6. ASLAK - Regular for the most part. Pleased in an amateur event at Amiens last month and from the front line this time can finish in the money 7. BELIEVE ME - Scraped his way onto the front line but currently off the boil and not a priority 8. AVATAR BATAILLE - Reassured eleven days ago but failed to confirm at the weekend and offers little hope 9. URSULO DE CAREL - Respectable trotter but has not raced since September 2016 and can be written off

4 10. UNITED KINGDOM - Has done nothing of note in either code for some time and not about to shake things up after three months absence 11. VIVAL THIERIC - Not the easiest to handle but seldom disappoints when applied and although shod can still make the frame 12. ARUNA DES JACQUETS - Won two from three before being sent for a spell but shoes on for his return and others preferred 13. ADELE DE BOISNEY - On solid form and recently impressed in a Class D at Enghien. Has a good record at the venue and is competitively well in 14. VAL THOURJAN - Respectable type with form in both professional and amateur categories. Goes barefoot for his return to competition and expected to finish in the mix 15. VELIN - Has a good entry here on the second line but form uncertain and others preferred 16. ULF HAIE NEUVE - Good type that prepped shod at Nantes but gives away 50m this time and will struggle to leave his mark (1) VALBERT DE WALDAM has been nothing short of exceptional this year and from the front row must be the one to beat. (13) ADELE DE BOISNEY has demonstrated good consistency and given the nature of her recent Enghien performance she can still apply the pressure despite the 25m handicap. (11) VIVAL THIERIC may be a handful but he has looked solid of late and a repeat of his Chartres performance would be good enough to make the frame here. (6) ASLAK can also prove tricky but he starts in front this time and with application can go close. (14) VAL THOURJAN races barefoot for the first time since July and is not incapable of setting the cat among the pigeons. Selections: (1) VALBERT DE WALDAM - (13) ADELE DE BOISNEY - (11) VIVAL THIERIC - (6) ASLAK - (14) VAL THOURJAN Race 4: Prix Paris Normandie 2850m Harness race 7-8yo Course Européenne Grade E ALF DE MELANDRE - Has looked somewhat modest since his return this term but shoes off this time and will be one to note 2. QUINCY FRONTLINE - Has looked a horse reborn since going barefoot. Won his last two and the threetimer looks a distinct possibility 3. ROMI MMS - Hardy type that demonstrates good consistency. Courageous third at Reims three weeks ago and with Monclin at the helm can again go close 4. ARCHIBALDA - Useful mare that acquits herself well for the most part. Currently in good shape and worth a second look 5. VERSO DE MADE - Moderate type that has been well beaten in both starts since the spell and needs to show marked improvement 6. AGHINETTI - Went into her break on a low note and has picked up where he left off. Disregard 7. AUTEUR - Left a surprisingly good impression at Vincennes last time. Different driver in the sulky this time but worth a small consideration nonetheless 8. PICARD DEL RONCO - Dependability not his strong suit and although barefoot this time chances appear limited 9. ANGEL HEART - Blows hot and cold. Well beaten at Maure last week and with Eric Raffin in the wagon will attract some support 10. ALBANIEN - Mixes the good with the less good. Reassured at Auch recently but unlikely to shake things up here 11. VALENTINO DREAM - Capable but not always the most reliable. Was full of running before faulting at Maure last week and with application should figure prominently

5 12. AZUR DES CAILLONS - Gives a good account for the most part. Did not have the best of luck last time at Bordeaux but with a better trip should make his presence felt 13. AVERTIN BELRI - Has failed to make the frame since early June and even with shoes off this time will still need to be at his best 14. APOLLO DE SOUVIGNE - Moderate type that made a modest re-entry nine days ago. Barefoot this time but still not an obvious choice (2) QUINCY FRONTLINE has gone from strength to strength in recent months and after two wins on the trot looks to have the ideal opportunity to score her first hat-trick. On paper (11) VALENTINO DREAM may not appear the most attractive but he would have finished close last time had he not faulted and must be respected. (3) ROMI MMS has finished in the frame in three of her last four and looks a solid place prospect once more. The in-form (12) AZUR DES CAILLONS is in his category and with stride in check should be able to challenge for a place in the frame. Selections: (2) QUINCY FRONTLINE - (11) VALENTINO DREAM - (3) ROMI MMS - (12) AZUR DES CAILLONS Race 5: Prix du Conseil Départemental de Seine-Maritime 2850m Mounted 6-10yo Course Européenne Grade D URBANYL - Capable but not easy to trust. Just his second start back and unlikely to spring a surprise 2. ARTIST KELAU - Completely off the boil this year and will again have nothing to offer 3. UPPERCUT DU BANNEY - Sprang a surprise when winning over course and distance last month but is shod this time and chances limited 4. BAMBINO DU PRE - Seldom seen under the saddle but won on penultimate ridden start and with shoes off again can expect some support 5. UNCTUOUS CHARM - Showed early promise in the discipline but rather ordinary in last two and others preferred 6. UNITED DU PARC - Switches code for the first time after a poor run under harness and looks to be facing a stiff test 7. BELLAYA - Good sort in this discipline. Has one race under her belt since the break and could well prove the surprise element 8. BARRY DE COURTISON - Solid for the most part under the saddle. Reassured at La Rochelle earlier in the month and expected to confirm 9. ULYSSE DE LA BASLE - Useful but has looked ordinary under the saddle for some time and chances limited 10. BARONNE DE BAPRE - Respectable trotter but has lost her way under harness. Entrusted to Eric Raffin for her return to ridden competition and must not be underestimated 11. BUTCH CASSIDY - Occasionally delicate but otherwise in cracking form. Flew up at Vincennes in 1'13' last time and can expect to garner considerable support 12. TWENTY TWO - Unplaced in last nine starts and appears to have his work cut out 13. JULIO DE LUXE - Unbeaten from six in this branch of the game. Demonstrated his superiority at Vincennes last time and should have this in the bag 14. THE AU LAIT - Sanctioned in both starts in this code and unlikely to influence the result 15. TOSCAN DE CAREL - Useful veteran with a good entry here. Drops marginally back in class and should not be far off the mark 16. BORIS DES DOUITS - Nothing noteworthy on his formsheet for some time and offers no hope

6 It is not easy to fault a horse that has not been bettered in six races in the discipline and considering how well he won at Vincennes last time (13) JULIO DE LUXE will take all the beating. The in-form (11) BUTCH CASSIDY however put on quite the show last time and can put his speed to good use here. When applied (8) BARRY DE COURTISON seldom lets the side down and should confirm his recent effort at La Rochelle. (15) TOSCAN DE CAREL is proven at this level and is expected get back in the game here, however with shoes off this time (4) BAMBINO DU PRE should be able to put up more resistance than he has of late. Selections: (13) JULIO DE LUXE - (11) BUTCH CASSIDY - (8) BARRY DE COURTISON - (15) TOSCAN DE CAREL - (4) BAMBINO DU PRE Race 6: Prix du Conseil Régional de Normandie 2850m Harness race 6yo Grade E BONHEUR TOUJOURS - Unplaced in both starts since the break and with shoes on can be ruled out 2. BAMAKO DU BOCAGE - Finished runner-up twice including over course and distance before disappointing in an amateur event at La Capelle. On the front line here though and worth a small consideration 3. BURJ KHALIFA - Respectable on a good day but has placed just once at the venue and chances limited 4. BON WINNER - Tough sort that seldom disappoints when applied. Unplaced in last two but from the first row should be able to make a big impact 5. BUBBLE KYSS - Blows hot and cold but won at Strasbourg on penultimate start and despite going better right-handed should not be ignored 6. BOLITRO DE JOIE - Currently at the top of his game with five wins from last six. Facile winner at Saint- Brieuc earlier this month and should have a good hand to play 7. BE MY GUEST - Can prove tricky but has returned respectably to competition. Hind shoes off for the occasion and looks good enough to make the first five 8. BALOISE DU CEHEM - Capable but not always dependable however with application can get a look in 9. BONTE D'ABBEVILLE - Not the most productive of horses and although having reassured at Chalons last month is still not easy to trust 10. BABY HAUFOR - Not easy to fault when he can maintain stride but will need to improve on recent Vincennes performance 11. BAHIA JOSSELYN - Got back in the game at Laval twelve days ago but incurs the penalty this time and not an obvious choice 12. BEST ATOUT - Regularly a question of all-or-nothing. Left a good impression at Angers recently but the penalty does him no favours 13. BIONESS - Respectable type that flopped on his only start at the venue. Unraced since May and will need the run 14. BARBIE DE JANEIRO - Regularly acquits herself competitively. Currently in good shape and should be able to trot into the money here 15. BEATBOX - Pleased for the most part earlier in the year. Has just one race in him this term and appears to need another outing 16. BIKINI - Serious sort that won smartly at Enghien before being sent for a spell. Was not disgraced on comeback and with hind shoes off this time should not be far off the mark 17. BORSALINO DU KLAU - Has had an excellent year so far with a host of victories. Was headed at La Capelle last time but should have the measure of the field this time 18. BACCHUS D'ELA - Fine trotter when he can keep his action together but races shod here and others preferred

7 Barring the occasional blip (17) BORSALINO DU KLAU has been in cracking form this year and in current shape will take some beating. (4) BON WINNER has also enjoyed a good run in recent months and from the front line can give him a run for his money. After going into his spell on a high note (16) BIKINI made a solid return at La Capelle and with hind shoes off this time looks a player. Eric Raffin has renewed his faith in the on-form (14) BARBIE DE JANEIRO and should again race close to the action. (6) BOLITRO DE JOIE has produced some impressive results over the past two months and should not be underestimated. Selections: (17) BORSALINO DU KLAU - (4) BON WINNER - (16) BIKINI - (14) BARBIE DE JANEIRO - (6) BOLITRO DE JOIE Race 7: Prix du Comité Apprentis et lads 2850m Mounted 4-5yo Grade D CYRINE DES ORMEAUX - Makes her debut in ridden competition after a poor run under harness and little expected 2. CARRERA DESBOIS - Useful when applied. Imposed on turf last time but unraced for 3.5 months and will need the outing 3. CLARA CELESTE - Delicate mare that seldom wows the crowds and is not about to change her ways 4. DUO CHARMEUR - Recently won at Graignes on just second start under the saddle and on similar form can again finish in the mix 5. CYCLONE DECOURIERE - Has failed to make any impact since getting off the mark early September and can be ruled out 6. CHLOE DE JADE - Delicate but has ability. Runner-up to Cerise D'Aimpe at Nantes and will have her supporters 7. CONGO - Encouraged behind Circe Venesi at Graignes but still needs to find more in order to make any impact 8. CESAR DU POMMEAU - Delicate but has shown hints of ability in this discipline. Given current form however he can expect little support 9. CERISE D'AIMPE - Considerably better sort in this branch of the game. Recently beat his personal best when winning at Nantes and with shoes off again looks a player 10. CIRCE VENESI - Left a good impression at Graignes on first ridden start since May and although stepping up in class should not be too far from the action 11. CASPER - Won two of the three races he has run this year including over course and distance. Returns from a spell and with Oceane Briand on board can get right back down to business 12. CLASSE DU CHERISAY - Regularly acquits herself well but struggling of late and not a priority 13. DIANA DE GUERON - Currently at the top of her game and latterly finished second in a Class D at Vincennes. On the second line but a continuation of this form could see her go one better 14. DEMON DE BABEL - Delicate but has merit. Winner of two from five in the discipline but will not be helped by the extra 25m 15. DIABOLO DU RIB - Went into his break in good shape and although unraced since July he often preforms well when fresh and his place looks to be in the frame (11) CASPER may be making his first start since the spell but he returns to the course and distance of his last victory and with hind shoes off should not waste any time getting straight back into the game. He can still expect to be opposed by a barefoot (13) DIANA DE GUERON who still looks dangerous from the second line. (15) DIABOLO DU RIB also incurs the penalty and while also making his comeback he tends to acquit himself competitively when fresh. (9) CERISE D'AIMPE opened her ridden account at Nantes two weeks ago and going barefoot again can only enhance her prospects. Selections: (11) CASPER - (13) DIANA DE GUERON - (15) DIABOLO DU RIB - (9) CERISE D'AIMPE

8 Race 8: Prix André Perdrix (Groupe A) 2850m Harness race 4yo Grade E DALILA DE VIETTE - Pleased in a minor event here late last month but since failed to confirm and will have her work cut out 2. DRAGONNE - Delicate but has ample ability. Second on his only start over course and distance and if applied can figure prominently 3. DESTIN DE STAR - Has turned a corner of late winning his last two and while unlikely to achieve the hattrick should nonetheless acquit himself competitively 4. DESIREE DES LANDES - Has begun to come into herself of late. Was unlucky at Cabourg mid-month and with better luck in running should make a big impact 5. DJEMBE DU PONT - Capable but delicate. Has not been seen out for six months though and will need the race 6. DURATON DU SAPTEL - Has looked a different horse since racing barefoot. Fourth at Cabourg last time and looks a decent first-three chance 7. DIABOLITO - Showed significant talent last season. Made a respectable comeback at Reims and should be fit enough to win this time 8. DONETTE BRAY - Went into her spell on a low note and not expected to shake things up on her first start for three months 9. DEESSE DU MOULIN - Modest filly with better form in the claiming division and unlikely to shake things up 10. DON JUAN DU HOULEY - Has shown better aptitude for the ridden code. Has other priorities and can be passed over 11. DERBY SHOW - Pleased just once from three under harness but better under the saddle and can be ruled out on first start back 12. DOUGLAS KERYVON - Consistent but rarely wins. Encouraged at Vincennes last time but the extra 25m does him no favours 13. DEESSE SAINT BAR - Useful filly that seldom disappoints when she can keep her action together but has not been seen out since early August and will need the race 14. DEESSE DE L'OISON - Got back in the game when winning at Vincennes last month but shoes back on and not a priority 15. DRAGSTER DIKARIA - Undeniably capable but not at his best this term and others preferred 16. DIAVOLO CRISCANI - Decent colt that has form at a better level. Incurs the penalty but could still make the first five Before making his return to competition last month (7) DIABOLITO had won three from four and if fully fit should be able to wrap this up. He can nonetheless expect to encounter resistance from the in-form (4) DESIREE DES LANDES who should logically make amends for her poor luck at Cabourg nine days ago. (6) DURATON DU SAPTEL finished fourth on that occasion and should have a decent hand to play. If (2) DRAGONNE can stay in stride she should be able to get a look in, as should (3) DESTIN DE STAR who comes here off two straight wins. Selections: (7) DIABOLITO - (4) DESIREE DES LANDES - (6) DURATON DU SAPTEL - (2) DRAGONNE - (3) DESTIN DE STAR Race 9: Prix André Perdrix (Groupe B) 2850m Harness race 4yo Grade E

9 1. DELTA DE LA VALLEE - Moderate sort that has not been the most threatening of late and in this company will need to be at his best 2. DEEP RIVELLIERE - Not without merit but comes here on the back of three straight sanctions and will not be easy to trust 3. DEL PIERO - Useful sort that should show improvement on recent comeback but a minor place chance at best 4. DIVINE LUXOR - Regularly gives a good account of herself and most recently encouraged at Vire. Steps back up in class but one to note all the same 5. DEXTER BLUE - Useful but temperamental type although could make his presence felt if he can maintain stride 6. DARLYNN PONCELET - Very consistent filly and currently in fine form. Disqualified from third at Laval recently and should logically give another competitive account 7. DAKOTA - Useful type that races unshod in front for the first time which should do his chances no disservice 8. DOLLY DE LUXE - Has looked a much better horse when barefoot but remains shod for her return to competition and can be passed over 9. DIAMS DE BASSIERE - Placed just once in last nine starts and even with Abrivard in the sulky will still struggle to leave his mark 10. DEVIRMONT - Just once out of the first three to date. Made a solid comeback at Cabourg late October and despite the handicap can return to winning ways 11. DIVINE ACTION - Capable but not the most reliable. Disappointing at Cabourg last time and needs to raise her game 12. DONUTS DELADOU - Complicated but talented. Beat Devirmont at Cabourg last time but shoes on here and others preferred 13. DIVINE D'ECROVILLE - Useful filly that regularly gives her best. Out of the picture in last two but still not incapable of getting a look in 14. DELMONICA - Showed encouraging signs at Enghien before going for a spell but unlikely to shake things up on first start back 15. DOLLY AMERICA - Good class of filly that was never at her ease at Vincennes last time but is barefoot under more suitable conditions and can be backed with confidence this time 16. DUKE JOSSELYN - Not much to like on his formsheet this year and will need to get his house in order (10) DEVIRMONT has demonstrated considerable class to date and following an impressive comeback late October should be able to impose this time. (15) DOLLY AMERICA also breaks from the second line and should bounce back from her recent flop at Vincennes. (7) DAKOTA has recently shown signs of encouragement and going unshod in front this time could prove key to unlocking his potential. (6) DARLYNN PONCELET has been very hard to knock lately and with Barrier in charge this time should put on another good show. (3) DEL PIERO makes his second start of the season and can pick up a small cheque. Selections. (10) DEVIRMONT - (15) DOLLY AMERICA - (7) DAKOTA - (6) DARLYNN PONCELET - (3) DEL PIERO
