2m 3f Stakes

BURSCHI (1) First up from a break of 71 weeks and amongst the placegetters when 3rd first up last preparation at Pisa. Strong hope. LE GRAND JOUR (2) Back from a break of 55 weeks. Below standard effort when 5th last start around here. Is capable of a resurgence. Likely to be well placed early. Underrated. MADRILENE (4) Was ordinary when 5th last start around here. A Pollioni is a crucial engagement. Solid place bet prospects. PISTACHE DORE (6) Back from a break. Underperformed when 8th last run in a chase at Auteuil but can find a nice position from the draw. Will be dropping in distance. Keep it safe and include in any tricast bets.

First up from a break of 71 weeks and did well when 3rd first up last preparation at Pisa. Jockey Jan Faltejsek and trainer Zdenek Semenka are a proven combination. Strong chance today.

First up after a break of 55 weeks. Jumped at $2.62 and subpar when 5th last start at this venue. Is capable of a resurgence. Displays good tactical speed. Definite contender.

Fresh after break of 66 weeks. At $5.00 ran 6th last run in a hurdle at Auteuil but can save some energy from the draw. Very unlikely.

Was $17.00 and clearly outclassed when 5th last start here. A Pollioni is a strong choice aboard. Hard to see finishing out of the placings.
