KING GOLD (1) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest coming when third over 1400m in the G3 Prix Du Palais-Royal at this track. Perfectly placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. SIAM PARAGON (5) scored a first-up win at this track then found one better over 1600m at this track. Has never been out of the placings at the third run in so a top-three finish is on the cards. DARK TROOPER (6) returns after a spell of ten weeks. Looking to emulate his win at Al Uqda to kick off the last campaign. One to consider. POLYVEGA (8) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid third in the G3 Prix Paul De Moussac at this track over 1400m. Likely improver with strong prospects.
