Vincennes

Very good 3rd over course and distance on his first competitively-shod start, MILLE MERCIS (7) will not be sent out at 20-1 this time and can even get his nose in front. He will still meet opposition from the ideally-engaged, and first-time barefoot, MEGA D'UZE (9) whose comeback at Meslay-du-Maine did not go unnoticed, and MAITRE DU CHENE (1) who sports modified shoeing after having imposed at La Capelle last month. MANY DREAMS (3) raced better here a month ago than the result would suggest and should prove competitive when it matters.
