SURABAD (1) impressed last time with a 7 length win at Saint-Cloud over this journey. Should camp just off the leaders. Best form puts him right in this. MILITARY AIR (3) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest coming when third over 2100m at Saint-Cloud. Finds a tougher race but a win is not out of the question. KILLARY KING (5) is back from a break of ten weeks. Scored back-to-back wins before running below his best at the last run of the prep, finishing fourth over 2150m at Cagnes-sur-Mer. Sure to be competitive. CROQUIS (6) brings the right form to this race after taking out a 2400m contest at Lyon-Parilly last time out by 1.75 lengths. One of the contenders.
