Race Overview
EL BOSNIA (1) has won back-to-back claimers recently in well-composed fields and he seems likely to preserve his unbeaten record on French soil by completing the hat-trick. Last-start handicap winner JOHN SIX (2), MAIMOUNA (4), ideally engaged with the aid of her rider's weight allowance, and PIANINO (3), who has references at a higher level, are best equipped to threaten the selection's unblemished record in France.
