Race Overview
MULTIPLE CHOICE (9) finished an encouraging 4th at Deauville last month in her first PSF appearance and she needn't improve much to play a leading role here. Improving ROYAL CADEAU (3), with Augustin Madamet in the irons, and ANUQUET (1), whose 7th behind the selection at Deauville doesn't accurately reflect his ability, seem best equipped to complete the podium places, although the returning ZELICA (10) and experienced GARVEY (4) could have something to say about that.
Selection:
9 - 3 - 1
