2 Zätamustangen reached the front in the last race, but gave away the lead after a while and then got locked in with energy left. Nice number and this time the seven-year-old will probably be tested in the lead.

1 Portofino lost pace in the last race and it costed him a podium place. Will be improved by that run and should be considered with the right trip.

8 Ajlexes Hans was strong in the last race and continues to show top form. Poor starting position but should still be followed.

6 Hidalgo Simoni is a quick starter and is possible too. Could surprise with the right defensive journey.

2 Lozano Di Quattro is very gifted and does not face the toughest opposition of his career. Good number and in this small field he should reach a nice position.

5 Harpy is very strong and will most likely be driven offensively– maybe all the way to the front?

4 Sandokan had no luck during his second stay on French soil, but, like many others, he will probably come back stronger.

1 Macahan is used to tough opposition and often puts in strong efforts. If he manages to hold the lead his chances will increase.

3 Last Cool Cash looked very nice in the seasonal debut last time and the horse has more than enough capacity for this class. Hard to beat, without a mistake.

6 Little Tony has shown good skills and has to be considered. Strong and fast.

2 Nagoia is very hard to predict in this first start in over a year. Is very capable for this class. Has to be considered from a perfect draw.

8 Snickup has a disappointing starting position. Is one of the better horses in this race.
