Race Overview
OTHERWORDLY (11) can be forgiven for the last run and is better judged on the winning effort before that over 1600m at Chantilly. She is the one they all have to fear the most despite returning from a long rest. TOMAKAY (5) has a high rating and was impressive when winning over 1400m at Chantilly and can follow up. LE BOSS (4) has solid form and has huge each way claims. He is a must for all bets. GREY MAN (7) should make the presence felt in this contest and has a serious chance.
Selection:
11 - 5 - 4
