KING MOTIF (2) has been in good form, scoring three back at Pornichet then placing twice in a row, most recently finishing second over 3200m at Le Croisé-Laroche. Has the class to find the winners' list. MADAME DE SAXE (4) missed the placings two starts back then ran a better race and finished 3 lengths away in fourth last time out over 2000m at Compiegne. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. PALMEIRA EMERY (11) bounced back last start and landed the prize by 3.5 lengths over 2400m at Pornichet. No reason she cannot salute again. RUE DES ORTEAUX (1) was safely held when ninth last time out over 2100m at Saint-Cloud, beaten 8 lengths, after a win at Chantilly All Weather at the previous outing. Nicely placed to play a leading role.
