Forecasts

Francophilia (15/8), Key Player (5/2), Jimmy Geronimo (5/1), Salazar (5/1), Dance Legend (8/1), Universal Gleam (10/1), Cum Spiro Spero (28/1), Stay In The Light (33/1)

Not a lot of strength-in-depth to this contest where Francophilia is an interesting newcomer whose pedigree suggests we should take her seriously over this sort of trip, though the recent winning experience of KEY PLAYER might count for plenty in the outcome here and he is taken to defy a penalty and follow up. Salazar and Dance Legend can battle out the minors.
