Race Overview
Competitive opening event for a field this size, though it could pay to follow the progress of debut winner MAHSOUB (4) on the evidence of his impressive Bordeaux introduction. Newcomer AL JORI (5) is closely related to Afjan Ex Mahboop (winner at the highest level as a three-year-old) so has to be taken seriously on her debut at Group III level. MUREB (1) and SAFRE TOURETTES (2) finished 1st and 3rd respectively in a race at La Teste recently and also have the means to make their presence felt.
Selection:
4 - 5 - 1
