Some bang-in-form runners go to the post for this race. TRIPPING THUNDER was an easy winner last time out and could have more to offer. Stable companions for trainer Dean Smith, FRENCH FLAME and LAGUNA VERDE, are both overdue a winning turn and should be right there at the finish again. WILD FIG has a string of runner-up performances and is clearly not out of it. HOSPICES DE BEAUNE and KING RAHUL are also in good shape and are capable of winning.
