Race Overview
MONTERRICO (9) is a confident pick to land the spoils and wouldn't be winning out of turn either, having finished 2nd in 2 of his last 3 starts. SETOCITY (7) acquitted himself well enough on debut over track and trip earlier this month to trouble the selection, especially given the likelihood of improvement with that experience to count on. AMKAR (3) fits a similar profile and should play a leading role too from a favourable starting position. With Hugo Lebouc engaged, newcomer BAHIANE (12) isn't taken lightly on debut. ALASTOR MAUGREY (10) completes the shortlist.
Selection:
9 - 7 - 3
