Formscan - NIGHTDANCE MAN (9) bounced back from a disappointing previous outing to finish a reassuring 2nd on this course recently and needs only to reproduce that form/performance to reconnect with success. He gets the nod ahead of SHANGHAI SPIRIT (3), whose consistency and competitiveness at this level will stand him in good stead, and MYDAVI (10) who has dropped to a competitive mark in the ratings. ARGYRON (12), runner-up at Deauville last time, experienced HERMEVILLE (1) and erratic FREE BREATH (14) seem best of the rest.
