Race Overview
LAVIS (10) hasn't fulfilled expectations but this drop in class (under a lightweight) presents a good opportunity for him to redeem himself. DUESSELDORFER (1) and CORAZON (2), recent winners at this level, remain competitive for victory, with the shortlist completed by MISS CLARCK (6) who is an unknown quantity on this surface. KING RETURN (3) appeals to lovers of outsiders.
Selection:
10 - 1 - 2
