Race Overview
SAKURASAKU (4) was below his best last time but posted a promising fifth at CHANTILLY in mid-February and is the first choice in what looks like an open maiden. GERARD TER BORCH (7) makes plenty of appeal on paper and is expected to play a leading role on debut. SAWAF (2) has finished fifth on his last two starts, and with race experience on his side, he can make the frame. TEPITO (1) has shown ability and is one to consider each-way.
