Vincennes

Comfortable winner at Nantes earlier in the month on her first association with Eric Raffin, MELVIANA (1) will be unshod-behind for her Vincennes bow and should be good enough to win a race of this nature. She will be opposed though by the justifiably well-regarded MARVELOUS PIYA (7) who will run in a similar configuration. MOLLY WHITE (4) has not been seen out since early-November but will be first-time barefoot and clearly means business. MISS IS DU CANET (9) may have just the one race in her since the autumn break, and starts alone on the back row, but with shoes off for the first time should not be underestimated.
