Race Overview
After finishing 4th in a tougher race on the PSF at Chantilly last time, it could pay to side with LA TOUR DU BOIS (6) who proved her efficiency on turf last year when 4th on debut at Le Pin au Haras on soft ground. She will, however, be tested by MANOIR (2) whose consistency and versatility will stand him in good stead. LA VUELTA (3) confirmed the improvement of her previous start (5th) with an encouraging 3rd last time and is likely to make her presence felt too with a repeat of that performance. Of the rest, ROUDOUDOU (1) appeals most.
