Race Overview
Successful at Toulouse last week, Loeiza Hayeres Fouchard and the in-form DELTA SPIRIT (1) are good value to add to their tally. Veteran mare ZARICA (7) will pose a threat if confirming the form/improvement of her last start. She leads the opposition ahead of CARTER AND GO (5), whose back-to-back 3rd-place finishes give her a solid shout here, and PANJAMAN (2) with skillful Berit Weber in the irons.
