FRENCH TRIP (1) turned in a decent effort last start to finish third over 1750m at this track after being in the firing line on the turn. Back in class on last couple and rates to go close. ACTOR (5) is usually thereabouts but finds it hard to win, with only one victory from 10 starts. Resumed when fourth over 1400m at Greyville, beaten 3.5 lengths. Placed 2/3 second-up. CONTINENTALEXPRESS (3) has progressed nicely in his last couple of runs. Finished second at Greyville All Weather two starts back then scored by 2 lengths last time out over 2400m at Greyville. Finds a suitable race and can build on that last-start success. ARVERNI KING (8) resumes. Wasn't far away at last run before a break, finishing fourth over 1950m at this track six-and-a-half months ago. Can make his presence felt.
