IVANOV (5) is ready to win after another minor placing last start, finishing third over 1400m at Palermo. The engagement of Jesus Roman Azcona is noteworthy. Perfectly placed and is sure to be there at the finish. ROYAL RIMOUT (1) finished seventh over this distance, at his latest outing. Has a very strong record at this journey, scoring on five occasions from six starts. Will find this much easier. Sure to be there at the finish. EARTH AND FIRE (4) has been kept fresh since running below his best at the last run five weeks ago, finishing fifth over 1400m at this track. Record here is impressive with five wins from 15 starts. Expected to run well. DJANGO (3) was well in commission last time but ran below expectations when seventh and beaten 10 lengths over 1200m at La Plata. Record here is impressive with five wins from 12 starts. Must be respected.
