SAPHIRUS BLUE (5) returns from a spell of nine months and is having his first run for a new yard. Finished fifth at this track over 2000m when first-up last time in work. Best fresh figures put him right in this. SHUMPETER (2) performed above expectations when resuming last time over 1600m at Palermo, finishing a nose from the winner in second after starting at huge odds. Should feature again. EL QUETRIHUE (9) met with solid support last start over 2000m at this track when fourth, beaten 7 lengths. Commendable record at this trip with a win and seven minor placings and is capable of going well. PEPE CURDELES (3) finished second last start at the first run back from a spell over 2000m at this track, beaten 4 lengths. Should take a lot from that hit-out. Capable of another top-three outcome.
