Race Overview
FINDERS KEEPERS (2) ought to benefit from this favourable commitment by bouncing back to form on his return to the claiming category. BEJAR (4) is lightly raced but has already shown she retains the means to be regarded as a candidate for success at this level. Like the selection, READY KING (1) won his only outing in this grade, so should play a leading role. BOMBEY (8), runner-up at Le Croise-Laroche on Friday, completes the shortlist.
Selection:
2 - 4 - 1
