Race Overview
KOLPLET (5) opened his account on the PSF and maintained his form/consistency on that surface under a 3kg penalty. He proved his efficiency and competitiveness on the turf by finishing 3rd in a 2000m Saint-Cliud handicap last time, so is capable of winning a race of this nature. However, he will be tested by wide-margin last-start winner ARCUBIATU (3) who won over the same course and distance (2000m at Saint-Cloud) recently. EURYTHMICAL (9), runner-up last time out, and consistent KALIFE ALAPLACE (1) ought to acquit themselves competitively too.
Selection:
5 - 3 - 9
