LA GUERCHE (3) is usually thereabouts but finds it hard to win, with only one victory from 10 starts. Did a good job last start to finish second over 2100m at Senonnes-Pouancé, beaten 1.3 lengths. Has the class to get the job done. I LOVE CHACHA (2) finished fourth two runs back at Deauville All Weather then improved last time out to score by a neck over 3100m at Pornichet. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat again in this suitable race. COSMIC FRONT (1) saluted over 2500m at Deauville All Weather at her most recent appearance on December 14. Has switched to the N&F Clement & Hermans yard. Among the better hopes. MISTER URSUS (4) is a nine-start maiden who returned last time and finished eighth at Fontainebleau over 2000m, beaten 5 lengths. Definite top-three hope with plenty of improvement to come.
