Race Overview
Comfortable on the right and an easy victory in the latest start suggests KARAKOY (9) should make a bold bid for success. NO CURE NO PAY (4) is consistently in the mix and would not be a surprise winner. RED GRACE (1) is capable of bouncing back and making the frame. Maxime Guyon will have supporters on SPATIAL MERIT (6) and is not out of it.
Selection:
9 - 4 - 1
