DARLING CHALLENGE (14) has a moderate winning strike-rate but performed well last time at this track, finishing second and only 2.5 lengths from the winner at the end of 2350m. Must raise the bar but a big run will not surprise. PEGO (4) is building towards a win with placings at his last two runs, the latest effort a second over 1900m at Cluny when beaten 4 lengths. Has a high cruising speed. Leading contender. OCEAN DIAMOND (1) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 3 lengths when fourth over 2000m at Nancy a month ago. Finds a nice race and can feature in the finish. BREMONTIER (6) progressed nicely last time out to finish just 2 lengths from the winner in third over 2350m at this track. Looks to be in the right race so expect another big run.
