Laval

Stylish winner at Cholet earlier this month, when barefoot for the first time, MELODIA JOSSELYN (2) races left-handed, also for the first time, and should be able to wrap this up if she turns. MELODIA JOSSELYN (2) failed to pull off the hat-trick at Argentan but will be reined by Paul Ploquin this time and may well prove the principal threat. MADEIRA (8) steps up in category after convincingly imposing on her comeback and will be more competitively-shod. MISS D'HERMES (3) will be barefoot following her Angers return run and her trainer has called on Mathieu Mottier for the occasion.
