CIARAN (7) is yet to break through in nine runs but has been thereabouts. Placed two back then was 4 lengths away in fourth over 1500m at this track last time. Has good early pace. Hard to beat on her best form and can get off the mark here. BRIGADIER GENERAL (3) recorded a strong maiden win over 1950m at this track last time, getting there by 2.75 lengths. Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Looks well placed and he should be in the finish again. DE LA TREBLE (11) improved last start to finish third over 1950m at this track. It doesn't get any easier but on her best form she is one of the chief contenders. MISTER BOMBAY (1) finished eighth over 2000m at Milan at his most recent appearance on November 30. One to consider.
