Race Overview
HARRY WAY (2) has shown solid form in Class 1 and Class 2 races on the PSF recently and landed a Class 2 turf victory at La Teste last year. He is a tentative selection in a race where several key contenders are making their seasonal return. EVERILLO (5) resumes from a break and could be a factor. SABROSO (6), a Class 2 winner last April, warrants respect. ODEMAR (3) completes the shortlist.
Selection:
2 - 5 - 6
