Race Overview
Runner-up in both handicap appearances, ARPENTEUR (7) should be rewarded for his consistency with a breakthrough first career win. He is, however, likely to be challenged by handicap debutante BEJAR (1) who has won back-to-back claimers, including her latest over 1500m on this course. LIKING (3) has maintained/proved his competitiveness in handicaps off higher marks so could also pose a threat. Improving SESTO ELEMENTO (4) isn't without a chance either.
