Race Overview

Consistent HALF HALF (5) acquitted himself competitively (3rd) in a recent course-and-distance Quinte+ off his current mark, so could return to winning ways with a repeat of that performance in this similar contest. LANAKEN (7), who finished 5th in the same race, is likely to pose the biggest threat although highly regarded ZOOM (10) isn't incapable of doing so either on his reappearance. BREIZH SKY (1) and BREIZH EAGLE (3) complete the shortlist.
