FLAMING STONE (4) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest coming when third over 2000m in the G2 Prix Saint-Alary at Longchamp. Has the pace and draw to take up a good early position. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. D'ORES ET DEJA (2) made it two wins on the bounce last time out when she scored by 2.25 lengths over 1600m in Listed grade at this track. Taking on a better line-up this time but she is up to the challenge. SANTAGADA (9) impressed when she scored by 1.3 lengths first-up in a weaker race last start over 1600m in the G3 Schwarzgold-Rennen at Cologne. Was a winner at the only previous second-up run and another big run will not surprise. PERSHING (6) opened this prep four weeks ago and scored over 1400m at this track, getting home by 7 lengths. Should run very well.
