Race Overview
MAX VERST (5) can be forgiven for the last dismal run and is better be judged on fair earlier form. He was 4th at Cagnes-Sur-Mer over 1500m in a Handicap on the 10th of February and is the firm first choice on the back of this performance. CHIAREGGIO (1) finished 10th over 1900m at Chantilly last time and can be expected to do way better than that. LALA LIGHT (8) was a winner at her penultimate start at Lyon La Soie but let the team down after that. Expect way better, place chance. ALCATOSER (4) can finish in the first four.
