FORCE OF DRAGON (2) Resumes from a spell. Got the cash when winning last start at Livorno and suited at this trip historically. Has drawn to do little work. Finds a winnable race. LE NOIR DESIR (4) Was ordinary when 10th last run at the track. In the mix. JOLTY JEM (3) Amongst the placegetters when 2nd last start at the track. In top form this campaign. Should be competitive in this race at a bit of odds. IMPULSE OF GRIF (5) Average at best when 8th last time at this track. Trifectas chance.
