Expecting France's Boy to take up the running with Everglade and Le Vizir close at hand. EVERGLADE (2) closed off strongly into the frame when resuming here two weeks ago. Yet to be tested at this journey but hails from a smart stable, so suspect her to step right up to the mark. WINE BARRON (12) is yet to strike through this campaign but is ticking along nicely. Went better than the form suggests last start in what has proven a strong form race. Kept fresh for this and can run a bold race. FINE FUTURE (5) has been mixing his form but there's little doubt his best is good enough. Dominated them here last start and draws well for Crowther. Can repeat the dose. THE JOURNO (10) chased in vain behind FF last start but did warm nicely late. Peaking now and will be hoping they overdo it early so he can launch late. SUGGESTED PLAY: Everglade to win.
