ZYGFRYD (14) ran below expectations last time at Chantilly All Weather, finishing fifth and beaten one length starting at $5.50. This looks a sterner test than last time but on his best form he is one of the key runners. KIM KARALA (8) improved last time out, finishing 4 lengths from the winner in second at the end of 1700m at Pornichet. Must raise the bar but she has the ability to test this field. MARANADO (10) hasn't been able to break through for an extended period, the latest effort a sixth over 1900m at Chantilly All Weather. Taking on a better field but he is up to the task. ALPENGEIST (13) ran below expectations last start, finishing seventh and beaten 5.5 lengths at Chantilly All Weather over 1600m. Likely improver with top-three prospects.
