Race Overview
Competitive Class 1 handicap in which a speculative vote is given to AZKA (4), who particularly enjoys ParisLongchamp and reverts to the handicaps after two creditable performances in Listed races. MAGELLAN (9), whose competitiveness at this level is undeniable, represents a formidable jockey-trainer combination and is likely to fight for victory, as is PARTENIT (3) judging by the strength and the consistency of his recent form. Last-start winner RUSSIPANT FAL (1) ought to remain competitive under top weight, while the chances of SACRED SPIRIT (8) shouldn't be underestimated either.
