Race Overview
BLANC BLEU (7) is in good form and gets a narrow vote to score in a very difficult opening event. IDEE DE CHEVAL (4) remains in very good shape and will not go down easily. ALEXEJ (5) returns from a break but does well on this surface and is not out of it. HOXTON (2) has not been seen since February but she is capable of getting into the thick of things despite the layoff.
Selection:
7 - 4 - 5
