LOU MAN (1) has a moderate winning strike-rate but performed well last time at Saint-Cloud, finishing fourth and only 2.25 lengths from the winner at the end of 2000m. Beautifully placed and is sure to play a major role. REMIX (8) is in sparkling form, scoring at his last three starts, the latest win coming over 1900m at Bordeaux. Hard to deny on recent efforts. BEST SHALAA (11) doesn't win very often but ran a strong race last time out over 2000m at Marseille Vivaux, finishing second and beaten one length. It doesn't get any easier but on her best form she is capable of testing her rivals. ALBINE (5) last appeared when she finished fifth over 2150m at Cagnes-sur-Mer on February 2. Makes plenty of appeal.
