Race 4 1400m Track: |

|---|---|---|---|---|

In the absence of noted leaders, Smile Hop and Moulin Radet may be the ones to set a moderate tempo. L'ARC EN REVE (3) was a dominant winner last time at this track over the same distance. Has been in solid form this campaign with a win and a placing from four starts. Bold showing expected. MOULIN RADET (4) scored his maiden win here last time out over today's trip, getting the decision by 9 lengths. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Shaping up nicely and he cannot be underestimated. MARUMO SILBER (5) was out of the placings in tougher company two runs back then appreciated the drop in grade and saluted last time over 1500m at this track, leading throughout. Should measure up again. CLEVER CUTE (10) is racing well, most recently finishing second two weeks ago over 1500m at this track. Likely to be about the mark again.
