TACTICAL MANOEUVRE ran well when third here last month and a repeat of that effort can see him take this. The selection hails from a decent yard who have a fair record (9/71) at this track in recent years and he can get the better of the long standing maiden Bobonyx who has been running well recently and is another who's likely to race prominently while Saint Breiz latest run makes him of interest also. 1. Tactical Manoeuvre 2. Bobonyx 3. Saint Breiz
