Boasts consistent form, finished 3rd over 2200m at Craon on the 23rd of last month and should, again, be very competitive. Big chance

She placed 6th over 1900m at Deauville on the 17th of August in a Handicap and can be expected to do way more than that today. Good chance

Comes into the race fresh off a victory over 1950m at this track and it would be no shock if he were to follow up. Can never be ignored

Race Overview
DRUIDE (5) was victorious four races back, can be forgiven for his last below par effort and judged on his solid, overall form. DEEP SEA (3) is a tad erratic but on very best form can threaten. Her last run was at Deauville when 6th over 1900m. Expect better. AROWN (1) is ultra-consistent and a five time winner. It would be silly to ignore his chances. A bold performance can, again, be expected. LA PELEMOISE (2) won three races back and finished 5th in Listed class last time. Strong claims, should be very competitive.
