Verdict

LE GRAND BLEU (9) was safely held when third last time out over 1 ¼m at this track, beaten 5 lengths. That followed a win at this track at the previous outing. Looks well placed so expect a better run this time. VOGELWEIDE (4) has a moderate winning strike-rate but performed well last time at this track, finishing fourth and only 2 lengths from the winner at the end of 7 ½f. Going up a level this time but he deserves plenty of thought. JUNGLE TACHYON (1) has not won for a long while. Last raced on October 30 when beaten 13 lengths into ninth at this track over 7f. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time. KIMINI MEROMERO (7) has not won for a long while. Last raced on October 31 when beaten 14 lengths into 11th at this track over 1 ¼m after being prominent until the final stages. Well placed and can play a prominent role.
