CHEEKY BLIMEY (2) Finished 5th last run here. Happy to forgive that run. Should muster plenty of early speed. Jockey L Neprasova is a strong choice aboard. Classy enough for this field and is one of the major players. UN BESO (4) Towards the tail last start at this track. Happy to forgive that run and gets a favourable draw. One of the better chances. WHAT ABOUT (1) Ran 2nd last start here. Will be in the finish. ICARE DE SARTUQUE (3) Ran 5th last time at this venue. Honest and strong place bet in this race.

Towards the rear last start at this venue but can find a nice position from the draw. Likely to settle back in the field. Prefer in something weaker.
