Verdict

PAIN AU CHOCOLAT (5) returns after three-and-a-half months in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a sixth over 6f at this track. Well placed and happy to have her on top. CALA ESMERALDA (8) wasn't far off maiden success before a break of eight months, finishing the campaign with a minor placing over 1m at this track. Nicely placed and expected to go well. GORTYS (11) ran fifth at her latest appearance over 6f at this track, finishing 8 lengths from the winner. Sure to be competitive. AFRICAN BEAT (7) was beaten 8 lengths into fourth over 6f at this track at his latest appearance. Can improve.
