Basic quinté-lähdön pohja Amérique-voittaja Björn Goopilla alkaa arki heti maanantain avauslähdössä, joka starttaavat alle172 000 euroa voittaneet 7-vuotiaat EU-tammat. Hän ajaa Basicia, joka on suosikki viime talvena Vincennesissä kengittä juoksemiensa starttien perusteella. Haastaja tulee myös Ruotsista, Vincennesissä debytoiva Eric Martinssonin valmentama Thorn Bird. 1. lähtö: Prix de Rethel (EU, 7t) 2850 metriä volttilähetys 12 Basic starttaa ensimmäisen kerran kengittä viime helmikuun jälkeen, jolloin se otti Vincennesissä samalla matkalla juostuista lähdöistä voiton ja kakkosen. Paalulta startannut 2 Thorn Bird piti heinäkuussa Lindesbergissä takamatkalta lähteneen Basicin takanaan, joka juoksi kolme kymmenystä paremman kilometriajan. Ranskalaishevosista ruotsalaistammat haastaa 13 Bohème du Juillé, joka kaksi viikkoa sitten hävisi vain takamatkan Bora Bora Jielille. Kolmanneksi sijoittui kymmenystä heikommalla ajalla 10 Black Rain. Vincennesissä debytoiva 3 Ballerina Bella on kilpaillut melko paljon ruohoradoilla. Joulupäivän esityksensä perusteella myös 11 Brihana pystyy taistelemaan kärkisijoista. A: 12, 2, 13 B: 10, 3, 16 5. lähtö: Prix Issoire (EU, 4o/r) 2700 metriä volttilähetys Alle 38 000 euroa voittaneiden 4-vuotiaiden oriiden ja ruunien EU-lähdössä Thomainin tallin 14 Eden de Banvilleen, joka voitti kaksi viikkoa sitten helposti kirimällä viimeiset 500 metriä 12,6-vauhtia. Björn Goopilla on lähdössä saksalaisori 15 Portland, joka juoksee ensimmäisen kerran ilman takakenkiä. Kuten myös Saksasta myös saapuva, Derbyssä neljänneksi sijoittunut 9 Mister Ed Heldia. Kolme viimeistä starttiaan Hollanissa voittanut Langewegin tallin 12 Hooters USA debytoi kengittä kuten Bigeonin tallin 3 Enfantin.
