MADRILENE (4) is back from a spell of six-and-a-half months and does go well when fresh, including a win to launch last campaign over 3550m at this track. Can return in winning form. MYTHOS (7) is back from a spell after closing last campaign with a couple of wins, the latest over 3500m at Pisa on January 30. Gabriele Agus has been the pilot at his last two wins. Should be hard to stop. GRAND DE THAIX (2) hasn't raced since pulled up over 4300m in Listed grade at Cagnes-sur-Mer on January 5 and has since switched trainers. Generally runs well when fresh with three wins and two minor placings from 10 runs. Bold showing expected. MONSTER CAROLI (6) was in great form at the end of the last campaign with back-to-back wins, the latest over 3500m at Pau three-and-a-half months ago. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Should give backers a sight.
