Race Overview
HANO DE LOI (6) impressed in his only run of this year. He should strip fitter from that run and should make a bold bid at scoring. GO FAST DU BERLAIS (5) only found one better last time out and can fight out the finish again. L'ARRABIATO (3) is fit and should be competitive again. CHORAIL DEBELAIR (2) returns from a break but is always capable of getting involved with the finish.
Selection:
6 - 5 - 3
