Race Overview
GEOPOLITICAL (3) caught the eye on debut in a newcomers race at Chantilly and would've come on appreciably, so it could pay to follow his progress. He needn't improve much to get the better of the two Escuder runners, SMILE FOR ME (6) and LOLA MONTES (8), who ought to open their accounts sooner rather than later. ELUSIVE BELARDO (10), whose two outings at Vichy in the summer were encouraging, and RED TOO HOT (5) complete the shortlist.
Selection:
3 - 6 - 8
