AVERNES (5) has a moderate winning strike-rate but performed well last time at Toulouse, finishing third and only 1.3 lengths from the winner at the end of 2400m. Likely improver with strong prospects. LAGOONE CHOPE (10) ran below expectations last time at Vichy, finishing tenth and beaten 6 lengths starting at $7.60. Arthur Mosse gets the best out of this six-year-old mare. Nicely placed to bounce back. SINDIA (9) started at $6.90 last time and ran below expectations, finishing tenth and beaten 10 lengths at Longchamp over 2500m. Ideally placed and is sure to take a ton of beating. LA HAUTE ISLE (8) turned in a decent effort last start to finish third over 2400m at Vichy. Looks to be in the right race so another bold effort is on the cards.
