Race Overview
ALMIRO (2) boasts stunning form, is clearly itching to win again soon and his last run at Saint-Cloud was good. He could be difficult to beat. EYVANN (3) is showing ability for the Aga Khan and is a must for all bets. EXCELSIOR (5) finished fourth in a Listed race at Lyon Parilly last time and based on that, should go close, despite the lengthy absence. WIESENTAU (7) never shone in a feature race at penultimate run, but ran well last time. Big danger and a must for the quartet.
Selection:
2 - 3 - 5
