Race Overview
SELKET (9) has been a disappointment of late but should make a bold bid at victory returning to a claimer. TRUE BOY (4) was not disgraced in a stronger version of this division last time out and will be a real threat if in the same form. PIERRE LE GRAND (1) is fit and does well enough on this surface to hold a winning chance. STADE VELODROME (5) has won at this course before and is another to consider.
Selection:
9 - 4 - 1
