HINAT (11) did little and finished 5 lengths from the winner in seventh over 1300m at Cagnes-sur-Mer All Weather last start, a less impressive effort than her fourth at Cagnes-sur-Mer the run before. Faces an easier assignment so she is perfectly placed to score. LAUPER (8) improved sharply on her fifth two starts back at Pau All Weather with success over 1600m at Toulouse three weeks ago, getting home by one length. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. QANTIEM (3) returned from a spell four weeks ago when he was beaten 8 lengths into ninth over 1500m at Cagnes-sur-Mer. Likely improver with strong prospects. NUIT D'ALIENOR (6) turned in a much better effort last time out to score by 1.3 lengths over 1850m at Agen. Nicely placed to play a pivotal role.
