Race Overview
MARTIAL ART (11) has shown more than enough to win a race of this nature. He was not beaten far on the PSF last time and is the tentative selection in an open handicap. FEARLESS CHEETAH (4) was less than a length off the winner when fourth at Le Lion D'Angers in mid-August in a handicap and looks like she could be the main danger. JOLIEPIERRE (17) looks like a good option for the each-way backers to latch on to. MISTER GOKEN (10) is also worth considering.
Selection:
11 - 4 - 17
