Race Overview
RESTLESS SPIRIT (2) bounced back to better form last time when 3rd at Chantilly over 1800m in a Handicap and is therefore the firm first pick to take top honors. SUPER ZOOM (3) was a winner three starts back and has held form thereafter. He has strong each way claims. AGOUREIL (4) is taking time to achieve the next career win but is never far off the action and can never be ignored from any bets. DEL CIELO (9) is suggested as the value for the places.

2 - 3 - 4
