FREDERIC CHOPIN retains his maiden status but did post some decent efforts in five all-weather starts over the winter and has strong claims here back on turf against opponents with little solid form in the book. Mister Uno is one who may improve on efforts to date as he does have bits and pieces of form and starts the new term on a workable mark. Others to consider are Gold Class, who sports first-time blinkers after blowing out the last twice having shown previous promise, and Jazri, a respectable third here 11 days ago but yet to operate on anything other than Polytrack or good ground.
