Race Overview
Absent since his eye-catching debut in a very strong field in October last year, GAMESTARS (1) is of particular interest on his much-anticipated reappearance. Listed-placed maiden JUNEBERRY (3) has the form and experience to challenge the selection, as does TOPY'SIM (5) who didn't finish a long way adrift of that rival last time. GANT (2) appeals most of the remainder in his first outing on French soil.
Selection:
1 - 3 - 5
