PLAIN BEAU (9) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 2500m at Le Croisé-Laroche, beaten one length into fourth. Meeting a deeper field this time but he is good enough to play a major role. RIYAK (4) ran a better race last start to finish a close third over 2100m at this track after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. USER KINDLY (2) started at $8.80 last time and ran below expectations, finishing 11th and beaten 22 lengths at Lyon-Parilly over 2000m. Beautifully placed and is sure to play a pivotal role. BRAVE SHIINA (3) turned in another moderate effort last start when 8 lengths from the winner in seventh over 2400m at Lyon-la-Soie. The engagement of Tony Piccone is a positive move. Suitably placed so can turn things around.
