Caen

A serious mare with just the one win in her after 21 starts, LUTELLIA MONNERIE (18) benefits from a superb entry and, given how well she performed in Paris on her comeback, can finally trot her way back into the winners' enclosure. Benjamin Rochard will still want to be wary of the recovered LE GRAAL (10) who sports a new configuration for his first objective since September 2024, and the returning LE MIRACLE (13) who came close more than once before being sent for a short spell. A first-time barefoot LITCHI CASTELETS (3) goes right-handed again after having reassured in Bordeaux and the 25m head-start will do his chances no disservice. LE REVE D'OLMEN (11) incurs the penalty, and has no clockwise references, but has been holding his own at Cagnes and is unlikely to be far off the mark.
