Wisely ridden on debut to finish 3rd at Moulins over 3500m on 21 September. Would've improved with the benefit of that experience

Race Overview
MOUNT ANGEL (1) is in good form and physical condition, and he needs only to repeat his latest performance to fight for victory. ETHIE CASTLE (7) made an encouraging debut in a good race/field at Moulins and she should threaten the selection if building on that promise. COLOR RITANO (3), starting over hurdles with legitimate claims, and well-bred LUNATIQUE D'AINAY (5) complete the shortlist.
Selection:
1 - 7 - 3
