Formscan - LE FREINAY (10) won a course-and-distance Quinte+ almost a year ago to the day off a similar rating, so he is worth chancing off a 0,5kg lower mark with headgear fitted in his third start after a rest during which he was gelded. HALEINE (7) had legitimate excuses for her disappointing last start (in season) and she retains the means to fight for victory if bouncing back to her earlier form. GUALDA (16) isn't taken lightly under a lightweight and with cheekpieces retained, while hard-knockers CENTRAL PARK WEST (2) and CHIRIMIRI (1) have genuine podium prospects. LEOPARDUCCIO (8), STAR ROCK (9) and MURCIANO (13) appeal most of the remainder.
