Vincennes

MAYA D'AVRIL (6) has started to come into herself after the break; she put in a fine performance over shorter here late last month, and with Eric Raffin reining this time can open her winter account. She will still come under pressure from MYSTIC DES FORGES (4) who made a surprising blunder here earlier in the month, and MARLEY (3) who makes her Vincennes bow on a 5-timer. Another promising filly, MADAME D'ERABLE (1) can pick up a place cheque if David Thomain manages to keep her focused.
