Race Overview
Victory in this mounted race seems likely to be fought out by LOLLIPOP CHANLECY (6) and LAFOLLY DELO (8) who have shown their quality under the saddle. LA NOTE (2) caught the eye when finishing 3rd on debut recently and, with improvement expected given the benefit of that experience, could join that fight. LAUREL (11), LEADER DES RIOULTS (10) and LOVER DU GRENY (9) complete the shortlist.
Selection:
6 - 8 - 2
