JACADI BROUETS (9) showed a different side to himself at Vincennes earlier in the month, although not reflected in his result, and at just 120 Euros from elimination is ideally-placed to get right back down to business. That being said, KOOL GEORGES (7) imposed under these conditions before twice acquitting himself well in Paris, and will be expected to contest the finish. Barefoot following a brace of conditioners, JAZZ DE PADD (8) has references at this level and faces his first winter target with a lot to contribute. JAVA DE BOITRON (6) is back in competition-mode after a pair of provincial preps and, while yet to deliver here, will be reined by Eric Raffin this time and can be assured a competitive drive.
