HIGHBARI (1) is progressing well this preparation. Opened with a ninth at Longchamp two starts back then scored by 2.5 lengths last time out over 1700m at Saint Brieuc. It doesn't get any easier but on his best form he is good enough to cope. TROPHANE (2) continues to race well this time in work, the latest effort a solid second over 2100m at Saint-Cloud. Alexis Pouchin has registered six minor placings when on board. Well placed and should be in the finish. HOLLYHOCK (11) improved sharply on his eighth two starts back at Saint-Cloud with a win over 1600m at Bordeaux seven weeks ago, getting home by one length. Meets some better types this time but another big run will not surprise. CUBANISTO (4) is a last-start winner three-and-a-half weeks ago, scoring by a long neck over 1800m at Dieppe. Sure to measure up.
