CUMBRE VIEJA (4) finished second last time out over 7f at this track, making it five career minor placings. Yet to miss the top-three in two runs at this venue. Won't get too many better chances to break through. LATE DECEMBER (10) returned from a lay-off six-and-a-half weeks ago when he was beaten 16 lengths into 11th over 6¼f at this track. Ideally placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. ROYAL PORT LOUIS (8) is a eight-start maiden who returned last time and finished fourth at this track over 7f, beaten 4.5 lengths. Will be handy despite the tricky draw. Will be in this for a long way. GIVETHATMANABELLS (9) finished third last start at the first run back from a lay-off over 7f at this track, beaten 3.5 lengths. Will benefit from that outing. Likely improver with solid prospects.
