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

Bright Beginning and Le Grand Chariot possess good early speed and will set a genuine tempo. BRIGHT BEGINNING (9) won last start over 1500m at this track, making it six victories from 12 appearances this campaign. Has the pace to settle in the leading division. Will give a great sight. GOLD BREEDER (10) finished fourth two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1500m at this track, beaten 3 lengths after being prominent at the turn. Likely improver with strong prospects. LE GRAND CHARIOT (11) resumes in a similar race to his last run 12 weeks ago when ninth, beaten 8 lengths. One to consider. SEA OF STARS (5) proved too strong two runs ago but couldn't follow that up last time out when ninth over 1600m at this track, beaten 10 lengths. Expect a better run this time.
