KHARAMAZOV (6) built on a nice second two starts back at Deauville All Weather with success as favourite over 1500m at this track two weeks ago, getting home by 4 lengths. Antonio Orani scored on him last time and retains the mount. Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he is good enough to play a major role. IRBIS (8) finds it hard to win with four victories from 41 starts. Was again denied last start when he found one better over 1500m at this track. Placed to advantage so expect a big run. LOUIS DE LA KLAUSS (10) missed the placings two starts back when resuming then ran a better race and finished 6 lengths away in fifth last time out over 1500m at this track. Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he has the ability to mix it with them. TANIS (11) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1500m at this track, beaten 5.5 lengths into fourth. No surprise to see her in the frame.
