BALAGAN (12) turned in a modest performance when sixth last time out over 1600m at Saint-Cloud, beaten 3.5 lengths. That followed a win at Cavaillon at the previous outing. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time. ROSISSIM (9) has a moderate winning strike-rate but performed well last time at Salon-de-Provence, finishing second and only a nose from the winner at the end of 2000m. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. L'ELU DE SADDLE (6) turned in a decent effort last start to finish third over 1900m at Cluny. Goes up a rung or two but he is good enough to take this out. MAPLE GIRL (1) has been in the market at her last couple of runs but failed to threaten, the latest effort a modest ninth at Bordeaux over 1600m. Expecting improvement.
