MINT JULEP (1) lines up for the first time since August 29. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 1400m at this track. Yet to win first up but generally runs well with two minor placings from four tries. Capable of playing a major role. KINSHO GLOIRE (8) improved last start but found one better over 820m at this track, beaten 3.5 lengths. Finds a suitable race and can go on to take this out. LES AILES NOIRES (6) went forward last time but couldn't quicken in the run home and finished fourth over 820m at this track. Suited in this lineup and is among the better hopes. MON CHEVAL (5) raced on the pace last start and lifted strongly to hold third over today's journey at this track. Hard to beat in this suitable race.
