ALHAMA RIVER (3) placed third twice prior to finishing 5.25L ninth over 1400m at La Teste. Selected to put that effort behind him to record his second course and distance victory. VALTRADA (1) suffered a 2.5L defeat in finishing fourth over 1600m at Vichy. Expected to play a part in the finish. ZODIACO (2) performed well in delivering a 3.25L fifth competing in a 1400m claiming event at Longchamp in July. Strong claims racing in a tongue tie for the first time. ZELZALA (6) is another to consider making her first appearance at this track following a 6.75L seventh contesting an 1850m conditions race at Vichy.
