Race Overview
Despite finishing unplaced on debut, NATURAL SPIRIT (15) and ZYMEK (2) would've benefitted from those outings. Both should have more to offer with that experience under their belts so they could find themselves fighting out the finish. Newcomer LE KARMA (10), who is related to several winners, and L'ACADIANE (17), another likely to improve after an introductory outing, aren't taken lightly and may well join that fight for victory. Anne-Sophie Pacault-trained newcomers ROI DU REVE (7) and ROGATIEN (8) shouldn't be underestimated either.
