Race Overview
A very competitive race. IAMASTAR (1) has been unreliable in chases but does set the standard for the race so gets a narrow vote to win. GOONHILLY (5) returns from a break but showed enough form in the UK to be a danger in this line-up. GREYM (8) has struggled a bit of late but could improve over these larger obstacles. DESIRE FOR EVER (9) was runner-up when last seen in a chase and has a winning chance.
Selection:
1 - 5 - 8
