LORAINE won a handicap over track and trip last month and makes more appeal than Filosofo, who has yet to threaten over today's distance. She is just preferred to Investissement, who has every chance on today's terms but found one too good in a couple of plating races here in January. Rakaan won here in December but is unreliable and was tailed off on his latest outing so dual course and distance winner Glennten looks a bigger threat.
