HARAS DES TROTTEURS TROT 1720m Track: GOOD |

|---|---|---|---|---|
|
SEBASTIANS BOY (11) moderate effort at this track two runs ago then settled back and failed to finish off well enough at his latest appearance over 1720m at this track, beaten 6 metres into fifth. No favours expected from this draw. Meets a similar quality field and is good enough to put himself in the winners' stall. LITTLE YANKEE (8) went back last start and failed to threaten when 11 metres from the winner in sixth at this track over 2240m. That effort followed a win at this track two runs ago. Will enjoy a pretty soft run from this draw, with the sprint lane to play a big role. Forgive that last effort. Good enough to win a race of this calibre. JILLIBY BALLERINI (2) is open to further improvement at the third run back from a break after scoring last time out over 2240m at this track. Likely to be around the mark again. ALDEBARAN MILEY (1) is worth some thought despite her last-start eighth over 2240m at this track on May 31.
