Race Overview
TOKYO DREAMER (8) was a good fourth over 1300m in a competitive handicap at Deauville two starts ago in late December. He is the tentative selection in a modest-looking handicap. ROSE ACADEMY (7) was fifth over 1600m last time and will not be inconvenienced by the drop in trip and can be involved. HATFAVILLE (6) has faired reasonably well in stronger races on the PSF lately and should be better suited on a return to race on the turf. CHIRICCO (4) is also worth a mention.
Selection:
8 - 7 - 6
