Race Overview
Well-bred MAFALDA (4) didn't go unnoticed despite her early disqualification at Laval last time and she need only repeat the performance of her debut (2nd) to gain compensation here. MISTER MAGIC (7), for whom this remains a question of wisdom, enigmatic MONTEQUILLO (3), whose recent performances don't reflect his ability, and lightly raced MARA AULNAIES (12) look best of the rest.
Selection:
4 - 7 - 3
