THUNDERSPEED (7) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid third at Marseille Vivaux over 2000m. Going up a level this time but he is good enough to play a major role. PARTENIT (1) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 2000m at Longchamp, beaten 7 lengths into 14th. Will enjoy a drop in class so he is a major player. NOVA KEN (11) progressed nicely last time out to finish just 1.5 lengths from the winner in second over 2000m at Marseille Vivaux. It doesn't get any easier but on her best form she is capable of testing her rivals. QUARTZ DU HOULEY (10) has not won for a long while. Last raced on May 6 when beaten 4.5 lengths into fourth at Chantilly All Weather over 1600m. Suitably placed so anticipating a bold performance.
