Race Overview
CUSTARD TARTE (4) won on the turf last time at Le Croise-Laroche 9 days ago in a Class 4 race and will be full of confidence after that success. She is preferred to LADY LOU (3) who has become well-treated and showed signs of a return to form when last seen at this track at the start of this month. FULL COLOUR (1) has also dropped in the handicap and should be involved at the business end. TOTE BAG (7) looks like an option for the each-way backers.
Selection:
4 - 3 - 1
