MATGIWELL (13) did well last time to finish third over 2400m at Limoges. Yet to miss the placings at this trip. Ready to win. FAL DARA (11) was safely held when fifth last time out over 2500m at Langon-Libourne, beaten 8 lengths. That followed a win at Mont-de-Marsan at the previous outing. It doesn't get any easier but on her best form she is capable of testing her rivals. STELLA MARINA (9) returned from a spell two-and-a-half weeks ago when she was beaten 16 lengths into fifth over 1900m at Cluny. Taking on a better line-up this time but she is good enough to play a major role. AIRA (15) has been in the money at her last couple of runs, the latest when second over 2300m at Montlucon-Neris. Backmarker who keeps coming. Not to be discounted.
