HADDOK (6) doesn't win out of turn, scoring just once from 29 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when fifth over 1400m at Palermo, beaten 6 lengths. Perfectly placed and is sure to take a ton of beating. RIO BENNETON (4) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1200m at this track, beaten 4 lengths. Strips fitter and can feature. EL VICTOR (9) returned from a spell three weeks ago when he was beaten 8 lengths into tenth over 1200m at this track. Fitter this time. Hard to beat in this suitable race. HEFESTOS (1) comes here off a break of nine weeks. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last time in work over 1400m at this track. Yet to win first up but generally runs well with three minor placings from six tries. Has to be respected.
