Race Overview
LADIVA SMART (1) finished behind LOUISA BANBOU (4) on their joint debut, but the progressive former is good value to avenge that defeat with superior fitness on her side. Consistent LOUBA (5) and improving LE RISKEL (3) have shown enough to expose any chinks in the armour of the principals.
