Race Overview
COLBY CHOP (2) showed improvement when third at this track last month. It is a very competitive handicap today but he can score if he turns up at the top of his game. POLIVATE (10) ran well at Deauville two weeks ago and will be a threat to these runners. SOAN (9) is threatening to win at this course and deserves respect. TOUTELUSIVE (8) bounced back with a reasonable effort last time out and could do even better this time.
Selection:
2 - 10 - 9
