PINGO (1) improved sharply on her eighth two starts back at Saint-Cloud with a win over 2400m at Compiegne eight days ago, getting home by a head. Nicely placed to take this out. ORLHENA (3) missed the placings two runs back then didn't feature last start when 48 lengths away in 14th over 3000m at Strasbourg. Ideally placed and is sure to be there at the finish. FORCE TRANQUILLE (6) ran below expectations last time at Marseille-Borely, finishing fifth and beaten 2.25 lengths starting at $8.70. Beautifully placed and is sure to give this a mighty shake. THEATRE LODGE (5) was out of the money two runs back when fresh from a spell then again missed the frame last start over 2500m at Saint-Cloud, beaten 6 lengths into tenth. Likely improver with strong top-three prospects.
