Race Overview
An absolute revelation since coming to France, GLOBAL AGREEMENT (16) is unbeaten under these conditions and despite a shocker of a draw, can still win this. He will nevertheless be up against the considerably better-drawn HERALDIQUE (1) who boasts an enviable strike-rate, and CANTO DEI VENTI (12) who defied a bad draw to go close in good company here early last month. HULYSSE DIGEO (4) is plainly on the way back up and, perfectly-positioned behind the car, will be competitive for a place in the frame.
