MARLOWE (5) has registered four minor placings from six runs this preparation. 4.5 lengths from the winner in second at the latest outing over 1400m at Compiegne. Nicely placed to play a pivotal role. ABISOLA (3) finished out of the money when fresh from a spell two starts back then was beaten 4.5 lengths when eighth over 2000m at Fontainebleau four weeks ago. Meeting a tougher field but on her best form she is one of the key runners. BOUGAINVILLIER (1) hit the frame two starts ago at this track but ran below par last time when eighth and beaten 4 lengths over 1400m at this track. Likely improver with strong prospects. TRENO (2) made progress last time out, finishing 4.5 lengths from the winner in third at the end of 1800m at Lyon-la-Soie. Nicely placed to maintain the form.
