IFACH (2) Tidy run when 2nd last time at this venue. Can win this. IT S CHICO TIME (4) Came in 4th last start at Madrid. Happy to forgive that run. Has good tactical speed and will be nicely positioned. Jockey R Sousa is in form. Suitably placed in this race. ZAPATER (8) Unimpressive effort when 6th last run here. Underrated. SOMMERSUN (3) Had difficulty when 6th last time at Madrid. Could be value.

On a short back up. Odds of $11.00 and ran 9th last run at La Teste De Buch but will appreciate a good draw. Prefers to settle towards the tail. Watch for a sign in the market.
