MAX VERST (5) has a moderate winning strike-rate but performed well last time at Chantilly All Weather, finishing second and only a head from the winner at the end of 1800m. Finds a tougher race but a win is not out of the question. PESTACLE (1) finished second at Marseille-Borely two runs back but didn't measure up last time over 2000m at Toulouse, finishing 4 lengths back in eighth. Must raise the bar but a big run is on the cards. WIND OF CHANGE (6) turned in a solid run last time when boxing on to finish second at this track. Extra journey a plus now and rates a winning chance. BEJAR (11) was beaten 4.5 lengths into fifth over 1600m at Fontainebleau last time out. Capable of featuring prominently.
