Race Overview
LUNA LUPA (11) acquitted herself well enough (5th) in a stronger race/field at Toulouse last time to suggest she has the means to win a race of this nature and starting from stall No 1 will only aid her cause. She is, however, likely to be challenged by FRONDAISON (9), who has the form and experience, as well as the advantage of her rider's weight allowance, to pose a threat. TESTIMONIO (1), only narrowly beaten at Tarbes, and SNATCHER (5) have legitimate claims too. Tricky!
