Returned from a 4-month absence to finish an encouraging 4th in a 1300m Saint-Cloud maiden on 27 September. Would've tightened up since and should have more to offer

Unplaced (9th) in a course-and-distance handicap on 17 September but finished on the podium in consecutive 1400m maidens before that, so shouldn't be hastily condemned

Race Overview
CHIVERE (5) has been hard to win with and become costly to follow but she only narrowly missed out last time on victory last time, so she is given another chance to belatedly open her account. She will, however, have to be wary of DELIRE (1), who acquitted himself well on his reappearance and should improve to play a leading role. SHA TIN (4) and experienced SPRING HEART (2) have also revealed sufficient means to fight for a spot on the podium.

5 - 1 - 4
