Race Overview
Top-rated GILDED DRAGON (3) can get back to form despite a few below-par efforts of late. He was a good third at Chantilly in late March in a handicap. OASINA (7) looks like the main danger. She has been placed on her last two starts, the latest over 1400m in early July. EVERSTAR (5) was not beaten far when fifth at Bordeaux Le Bouscat in a handicap last time and is one to consider. PRIVATE DINNING (1) makes up the shortlist.
