Race Overview
BARC (7) could be the answer to this open handicap. He was a good second at Chantilly two runs back in late October and won before that earlier that month at Saint-Cloud. He has the most to fear from SEA GARDENS (3) who has been in good shape with a second and a win before that at Nancy in October. RUE JONAS (4) is one to include in all of the place bet permutations. INCA MAN (16) warrants respect from the foot of the weights.
Selection:
7 - 3 - 4
