Race Overview
LOVRAN (4) improved with each start and has already won a Group 3. Fitness will be the key concern as he has not run since August. Stable companion (5) was tested in a Group 1 last time and could be a real threat. Another stablemate, KAHULA (8), is in good form and will not go down without a fight. LOUISA BANBOU (9) is usually competitive and can also get involved in the finish.
