Race Overview
INDY DE SALSA (4) rarely races unshod but is unbeaten in this configuration, so gets the nod ahead of delicate IMPERATOR D'EM (1), whose means are undeniable. The latter benefits from the services of Eric Raffin but has to avoid disqualification to play a leading role. IBANQUE LEBEL (6), after an encouraging comeback, and hat-trick seeking IDEAL D'URZY (13) should also have a say in the outcome. INFERNA DE HOUELLE (15) and IMHOTEP BUROIS (10) appeal most of the remainder.
