Vincennes

A Class B course-and-distance winner before the turn of the year, KIKA JOSSELYN (4) has held his own in 2 starts over 2100m since. Already 8 times a winner for Benjamin Rochard, she is easy to like for the win. It will not be all plain sailing though considering how well KARNAC WOOD (9) secured the Gr.3 Prix Michel Marcel Gougeon here 3 weeks ago. Runner-up in a Class A under these conditions in early-January, BROTHERS IN ARMS (6) will not be sent out at 21-1 this time. A place behind him that day after having run 2nd to Jean-Philippe Monclin's mare in mid-December, PANTOCRATOR (3) is clearly on the right road and will be competitive when it matters.
