Race Overview
INVICTUS MADIBA (15) has not won for some time now but ran a cracker last time out in Gr.3 company and looks the right one for this race. IRIS DES ROSEAUX (6) tackles stronger this time around but has won three of last five starts so deserves respect. IDEFIX DE CENTULE (8) is unreliable but did run well enough last time out to be considered a possible winner of this race. IN LOVE WITH CHENU (2) won well last time out but is not easy to trust.
Selection:
15 - 6 - 8
