Fast pace with Amoureux De Paris showing out and Jinsei crossing to apply some pressure. JINSEI (13) is a consistent entire resuming. Goes well fresh and has a strong record at the trip. Jockey has a great record while aboard and looks a definite winning hope. COURS MIRABEAU (8) is fitter for two runs back and is ready to find peak form. Goes very well course and distance and drawn much better. TAGANO BABYLON (1) is another resuming. Form shown last campaign makes for good reading winning three on end. Looks hard to hold out fresh. HAPI (5) excels fresh and best form is this trip. Sure to be ready to run well.
