From their wide draws Parading Gus and Victoire D'amour will press on and set a geniune tempo. CHICAGO KING (1) has only missed the top-four once in ten career outings and that was when he lost the rider in a former Victorian campaign. Strikes a very winnable contest here and can finally break the maiden status against this lot. NANTERRE (6) put in a career-best performance when runner-up last time out and looks to be improving with racing. Right in this. PARADING GUS (8) has hit the frame in both starts to date and will strip fitter second-up from the spell. Top-three commodity. TINTAURA (9) wasn't too far off them when resuming and will have taken some benefit from that hit-out. Deserves some consideration. SUGGESTED PLAY: Chicago King to break through.
