Race Overview
ZALETTO (5) generally goes well over the longer trips and is sure to play a leading role in this open contest. PENCLAUDJEANGREEN (8) is better than his last start suggests and is expected to make amends at a track where he has a decent record. Stablemate to the former, SRIDEDGREEN (2) is a tough competitor and could also have a say. SRIDEDGREEN (2) is a French AQPS that is worth a mention against the thoroughbreds.
