Race Overview
VERDANT LADY (5) is threatening to win a race and does set the standard for this race. She looks hard to beat. ROYALE WELLS (2) was not disgraced at Haras du Pin last time out. That form may not be that strong though. QUENDOLINO (4) has been fair in Germany and could contest the finish. BLACK CORSAIR (1) is better this shorter distance and could be a threat.
Selection:
5 - 2 - 4
