Formscan - SIMANCAS (10), despite finishing in 9th position, was far from disgraced in her first Quinte+ outing (just her fourth start) and she could have more to offer on this surface, so it is well worth following her progress under Christophe Soumillon who has won this event 10 times already. DEL CIELO (3) has kept good company and acquitted herself well in the process. She makes her handicap debut off a competitive mark so ought to fight for victory along with progressive last-start winner MORPHEWAN (15). Inconsistent GALLANT DEED (9) is not devoid of resources either and is also capable of staking a claim in the finish if bouncing back to his better form. BUBBLE SIGN (2) lines up in tremendous form and should make her presence felt too. JOLI CORBEAU (8), after consecutive victories recently, is on the up and not incapable of playing a role in the outcome either. ANOLINE (13), over the distance and on the surface of her last success, and consistent INDIAN GOLD (7), who ran well in her first outing at this level, complete the shortlist.
