YULIA (9) was in the money on debut before finishing fourth last time, beaten 4 lengths over 2400m at this track. Has ability and is one of the leading chances. ALLURE (2) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 2100m at Saint-Cloud, beaten 2 lengths. Meets some better types this time but he has the ability to test this field. ASAFKHAN (1) has been in the betting at both starts but hasn't managed to break through. Most recently finished seventh over 2000m at Lyon-Parilly, beaten 3.5 lengths. Cannot be dismissed. EMERALD ISLAND (4) missed the placings on debut two starts back then ran a better race and finished 3.5 lengths away in fourth last time out over 3000m at Dieppe. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well.
