THE SNARK (1) returned from a spell a month ago when he was beaten 10 lengths into fifth over 1600m at Le Mans. Strips fitter and can feature. SOIF DE VIVRE (8) turned in a strong run last time when third at this track just 10 days ago. Backing up quickly over the longer journey. Strong run last time and is likely to be in the finish. ZOLIA (3) got the prize two runs ago at Pornichet. Couldn't follow that up last time out when fourth over 1350m at Senonnes-Pouancé, beaten 6 lengths. Meeting a tougher field but on her best form she is one of the key runners. SANGRE DE DRAGO (2) missed the placings two runs back then didn't do any better last start when 15 lengths away in 12th over 1600m at Saint-Cloud. Has his share of ability and is a top-three prospect.
