AKAGERA (4) progressed nicely last time out to finish just a long neck from the winner in third over 1800m at this track. Perfectly placed and is sure to take plenty of stopping. PRINCESSE BLONDE (10) missed the placings two runs back then did well last start but found one better over 1600m at Saint-Cloud, beaten only 1.3 lengths. Has her share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. PENNY DE CERISY (7) has been in the market at her last couple of runs but failed to threaten, the latest effort a modest 12th at Chantilly All Weather over 1900m. Rates highly on best figures - can do much better. VIKING D'AUMONT (8) returned from a spell last start successfully, taking out a 1600m contest at Saint-Cloud by 1.3 lengths. Strong top-three chance.
