VICTORY WIND (4) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 2150m at Cagnes-sur-Mer, beaten only a long neck. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. DUCHESSE DE MORNY (7) has put together back-to-back placings, the latest when a head away in second over 1900m at Chantilly All Weather. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. HOT AND BEAUTY (5) last raced just a week-and-a-half ago when seventh over 1600m at Chantilly All Weather. Suitably placed so expecting a better run this time. AVANT L'ORAGE (3) resumes from a spell of three-and-a-half months. Could only manage to finish fourth at the latest run over 1900m at Chantilly All Weather. Rates highly on best form and should be in the mix.
