GUCCI MAN (2) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest coming when third over 1m at this track (Synthetic). Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. BAIE LONGUE (12) went forward over 1m at this track (Synthetic) last time and held on for second. Will be handy despite the tricky draw. Has a 100% top-three strike rate at this course after four starts. Should run well. MANABI (10) was out of the money when resuming from a lay-off last start over 1m at this track, beaten 22 lengths. Tackling a more suitable race so he can make amends. ACTING DEBUT (11) hasn’t been far away since a maiden win three runs back, the latest effort a second over 1m at this track (Synthetic) on February 23. Should park just off the speed despite the draw. Deserves respect on best figures.
