Race Overview
A very open handicap where few can be safely ruled out. FORCEFULL (6) was a good third finishing ahead of LINFASOMMER (4) in a handicap over this distance at Chantilly earlier this month. There shouldn't be much between them again, but FORCEFULL (6) gets the narrow vote. GOGUEN SPAISE (7) carries a penalty for his win at Le Mans and won't go down without a fight. STELLANIA (12) is also threatening to get her head in front.
Selection:
6 - 4 - 7
