Race Overview
.A very tricky lucky last race. MAX VERST (5) was unlucky not to win at Chantilly and can go one better this time. PESTACLE (1) has been disappointing this year but could be a lively danger in this line-up. WIND OF CHANGE (6) has been consistently strong all year and will not go down easily. BEJAR (11) showed improvement last time out and could make the frame.
Selection:
5 - 1 - 6
