GIRAFFE (8) progressed nicely last time out to finish just one length from the winner in second over 2000m at Marseille-Borely. Looks well placed so expect another big run. GRECIAN STAR (6) improved sharply on his fifth two starts back at Cagnes-sur-Mer with a win over 1600m at this track four weeks ago, getting home by 2.5 lengths. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat again in this suitable race. BELLE ANSE (2) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest at Pau All Weather over 2000m. Can measure up again. KIARO (1) was out of the money two runs back when fresh from a spell then again missed the frame last start over 1500m at Cagnes-sur-Mer, beaten 5.5 lengths into 12th. No surprise to see him in the frame.
