Race Overview
LORIKO (1) and L'UNIQUE APPLE'S (9) made encouraging starts to their careers and they needn't improve much to play leading roles. The former finished 2nd on debut and is good value to go one better. LE BON SAMARITAIN (4) will know more about it after a pleasing debut at Le Mans behind LORIKO (1), improving L'AMAZONE (10) and returning LUTECE D'ARTHEL (8) complete the shortlist.
