2 Lozano Di Quattro is very gifted and does not face the toughest opposition of his career. Good number and in this small field he should reach a nice position.
5 Harpy is very strong and will most likely be driven offensively– maybe all the way to the front?
4 Sandokan had no luck during his second stay on French soil, but, like many others, he will probably come back stronger.
1 Macahan is used to tough opposition and often puts in strong efforts. If he manages to hold the lead his chances will increase.

3 Kant'e is normally far too good for a race like this and the six-year-old has put in several strong efforts at the end, not least the finish last time in a much tougher company.
10 Isaac Wynn competed in tough companies as a 3-year-old. The capacity is high and despite this handicap he should be close to our pick.
7 Mezcal Teorvici is in good shape today and much better than the latest results show. Tough and will get an offensive journey.
12 Stratocruiser is up and down but has good capacity when he is at his best.

15 Coraline has shown really good form, has a top driver and will compete barefoot for the first time. Early contender despite this starting position.
6 Gasolina Jet took the first career win in the last race and the impression was promising. Could reach the front again and an early choice from there.
9 Klang Shadow is good for this type of race and did well in the last V85 race.
13 Osken returns after a long layoff and makes his debut for a new trainer. Owns good skills.

2 Teton Lineasy did well in the debut for trainer Thomas Dalborg. Run under his belt and faces nice conditions here. Good chance to score the first victory of his career.
3 Yellowstone Doc already convinced in his qualifier with a good time. His efforts have been good since then, but there is a lot more to do.
5 Hobo has started promisingly and scored a good win from the lead in the last race.
7 Elliot is better than he has shown so far and runs barefoot for the first time now.

4 Mr Boenasera came back really well two starts back and put in a strong effort from the outside of the leader last time as second. Top form and he will be hard to beat together with Aleksi Flink.
5 Bys Yubraj finished with plenty of energy left in the last race. His form is intact and he is used to tougher opponents.
2 Take Him Sober has looked in good shape lately and can both open and finish quickly.
6 Moni Talks finished well after almost five months of absence last time. Better now.

3 Raphael followed well as third in a good time for this class last time. The two wins of his career have been taken from the front and now Carl Johan Jepson is driving.
2 Fuego Degato got a trip outside of the leader in the last race and did really well as second. Has good capacity for this class and runs barefoot for the first time - has to be considered early.
12 Heathcliff DE finished very fast in the seasonal debut and could pass all horses with the right journey.
6 Five Bring Joy has performed well in two straight V85 races and is stepping down in class.
