The sky is partly clouded and the pleasant coolness of winter still prevails. Fans watch Saturday’s likely runners, especially those spurting over 200 or 400m. We notice the presence of Yashin Emamdee after a long absence. He rides several horses from Perdrau Stable.

Horses who make the best impression this morning are: City Of Choice (200m in 12.86), True Connection (12.64), Court Report (12.19), Pale Ale (12.44), Sands Of Fire (13.22), National Play (12.54) , Salvador Dali (12.56), Legal Maxim (12.71), Final Frontier (12.84), Pegasus Legacy (11.50), A Quiet Rush (13.41), Marwood Boy (11.95) and Ball Park (13.19).

Others who display a very good physical condition : Darcy's Arcy, What Price, Red Lotus, Allocation, Prince Paseo, Bolting Cat Iwayini, Tizaloochee, Santos and Mobschief.

From Merven Stable’s connections, we learn that Cédric Ségéon will be in the saddle on Saturday as he has appealed against his 3-week ban.
