Vincennes

Wonderfully-entered here, nicely-placed behind the car, and with a race under her belt since the break, GUESS FOUTEAU (5) will be barefoot for her first objective of the winter meeting and can impose for the first time in 13 months. Franck Nivard will still be mindful of the Eric Raffin-partnered FERVENTE (4) who will be similarly barefoot following a brace of conditioners. GRAZIELA D'EL (10) has been less-fortunate with the draw but will be shod as she was when 5th under these conditions in late-October and must be taken seriously. FLAMBEUR DU DIGEON (3) got back in the game under the saddle at Enghien in mid-October, returns fresh, and will be competitive when it matters.
