Race Overview
Unseen under the saddle since winning the Gr.1 Prix des Centaures last March, IDEALE DU CHENE (8) got straight down to business in the Gr.2 Prix Paul Buquet late last month and is going to take all the beating. HANNA DES MOLLES (7) finished a place behind GRANVILLAISE BLEUE (9) in the Gr.2 Prix Reynolds but the latter's latest performance augurs better for Alexandre Abrivard's mare.
Selection:
8 - 7 - 9
