Vincennes

After a much-needed return run here in early-February, MATADOR (12) ran away with an Enghien Class D last month, and looks thoroughly capable of repeating. He will still meet resistance from the likes of a first-time barefoot MANDELA SEVEN (1) who has already won under these conditions, and Mathieu Mottier's progressive MARLEY DE BAILLE (2) who will also race unshod for the occasion. Surprisingly eliminated here a fortnight back, MUST DU BELLAY (7) ran 2nd on his only start over 2700m here and will not be far from the action if Franck Nivard keeps him focused.
