Will need to do more than latest 7th place over 2150m on the 15th of January for the win but can certainly run a place here. Good each-way claims

Race Overview
GRAND BALCON (6) can be forgiven for the last dismal performance and judged on solid earlier form. He was a winner at Marseille Vivaux over 2000m in his penultimate start and is confidently selected to bounce right back to winning ways. GIRAFFE (8) is never too far off the action and can finish in the firing line. MORSAN (10) comes into the race fresh off a victory at this track and it would be no surprise if he were to follow up. Both GOOD GIFT (1) and ALMIRO (2) have a huge place chance.
Selection:
6 - 8 - 10
