Out of sorts but has been running at a higher level and off of a higher rating, so is dangerous to dismiss at this level, despite only finishing 9th in a 1700m PSF handicap at Pornichet on 27 March

Race Overview
ANDINO (7) appeared to struggle off his current mark (under a 2kg penalty) in a 1600m handicap at Chantilly last time but will find this shorter distance more to his liking, so is worth chancing to resume winning ways at the expense of PEARL HARBOR (3) who looks ideally engaged under these conditions off a reduced mark after an encouraging/reassuring last start. HERODION (4) and ZANTARIO (2) also have the means to fight for success.
Selection:
7 - 3 - 4
