Race Overview
Getting better with each race this year in spite of considerable misfortune, SAHARA JAEBURN (13) produced a fine effort at Le Croise-Laroche earlier this month and in similar form can bring home the bacon. Yoann Lebourgeois will still be keeping a keen eye on FLEURON D'ACADIE (14) who has won twice over course and distance this year, and the consistent HERE WE GO (11) who gave a fine account over shorter here last time out. BELZEBU'JET (8) has shown potential at a superior level and should find himself more at home in this company.
