HUGO CABRET (1) recorded the third success of his career securing a 0.5L victory competing over 2600m among handicap company at Marseille-Borely. Taken to complete a double. SET APART (3) returned from a break running 5.5L last of five trying 2200m at Lyon-Parilly. Expected to deliver an improved performance making his AW debut. Racing in a tongue tie for the first time CUELLAR (2) enters calculations dropping in distance after finishing 2.25L sixth contesting a 3000m handicap at Saint-Cloud. NOVA MOON (4) failed to shine when 11L fifth in a 2500m conditions event at Saint-Cloud. Worth noting on this occasion.

Third-up today and placed third-up in the past. Resuming 2nd in a small field at Salon-de-Provence on September 25 over 2400m, 1.5 len behind Derni Chop carrying 61kg at $3. Second run from a spell favourite; won by 0.5 len at Marseille-Borely on October 17 over 2600m defeating L'abbaye carrying 60.5kg at $2.90. Profiles nicely. Fitter and rates a key chance in this line-up.

Second run back. First-up after four months ran last in a small field at Lyon-Parilly on October 6 over 2200m, on a slow track; 5.5 len behind Shanour with 57.5kg at $9.30. Previously second-up was well back until straightening; raced back then made ground from the turn; won by 1.0 len at Lyon-Parilly on June 21 over 2400m defeating Contador carrying 58.5kg at $6.30. Rates highly and can do much better this time.

Most recently ran second last in a small field at Saint-Cloud on October 14 over 2500m, 11 len behind Lameloise with 55.5kg at $20.70. Before that 13th of 16 at Longchamp on September 3 over 2000m, on a slow track; 9 len behind Egyptian Glory with 58.5kg at $35.20. Hard to fault if at her best.

Second-up. Comes off a 40-day let-up. First-up after three months set the pace for much of the race 2nd of 10 at Amiens on September 27 over 2200m, slow going 2.5 len behind Asylla carrying 56.5kg at $23.20. Previously second-up ran last of 8 at Chantilly on June 19 over 2400m, 16 len behind Mennula with 58.5kg at $43. Harder here though and is unlikely to threaten.
