Race Overview
HAWK POWER (2) has run three outstanding races thus far and should take a power of beating and is therefore the firm first choice. He is very progressive and can make a big impact on his handicap debut. MEAUTIS (5) is improving and rapidly. His last run at Saint-Cloud was a second and he can go one better with blinkers applied for the first time. Big chance. GILDED DRAGON (3) has shown up well in two competitive Handicaps recently and has each way claims. CHARTWELL (1) was a winner at the penultimate and can be forgiven for his last below par run.
Selection:
2 - 5 - 3
