Race Overview
BERNEUIL (4) returns from a break but if fit and well could take this race. His fourth-place finish last time out was in GR.3. LE TABOU (8) needed the last run and will improve so could be a serious threat to these rivals. GAME RUN (2) will do better on a firmer track so deserves some respect. EMPATHIC (7) returns from a sort break but can contest the finish.
Selection:
4 - 8 - 2
