Race Overview
JINDOR DE BOZOULS (3), absent since September 2022, boasts by far the best/strongest references of these runners so is worth siding with on his reappearance. ALJARF (4), who was beaten only by a talented mare at Tarbes last time, need only confirm the improvement of that performance to fight for victory. ANGUS (5) didn't go unnoticed when finishing 3rd behind that rival and will appreciate the extra 200m, so ought to make his presence felt too. GHAFFAR DE BRUGERE (1) has a big weight to carry but has already established himself in this category and, as such, cannot be underestimated either.
Selection:
3 - 4 - 5
