Expecting En Cloche to take up the running with Garm Cat and Illuminator close at hand. BALMY WEATHER (10) got home by 7 lengths last time out over 1400m at this track. Has started two times at this course and distance and is yet to miss the placings. Should go well again. ILLUMINATOR (1) impressed last time out at the second run of the campaign and finished 2.5 lengths from the winner in second over 1700m at this track after being in the firing line on the turn. Finds an easier assignment and can take the next step and salute. GARM CAT (5) finished fifth last time out over 1400m at this track, beaten 4.5 lengths. Has a solid record here with six wins from 13 starts. Strong top-three chance. GRACIANO (7) was unwanted in betting last time but scored by a neck over 1400m at this track. Hard to fault winning form.
