LE HOULME (6) started at $8.20 last time and ran below expectations, finishing fifth and beaten 3.5 lengths at Strasbourg over 2350m. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. PONTD'YEU (3) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 2850m at Loudeac, beaten 5 lengths. Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he is up to the challenge. AMIATA (1) ran below expectations last time at Marseille Vivaux, finishing seventh and beaten 5 lengths starting at $9.30. Finds a nice race and can make amends. LIANE (2) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 2900m at Cavaillon, beaten 7 lengths into fourth. Nicely placed to find some form.
