Race Overview
BENOU (1) put in a good display when third last time out and that form should be enough to win a race like this. THEQUIETMAN (6) has been disappointing of late but is capable of running well when in the mood. ST ROMAIN DU DERBY (2) is down in class and is capable of a decent run in this line-up. FRET D'ESTRUVAL (3) won well last time out and deserves respect for that win.
