The selection is CAPSAICIN who finished ahead of Bristol Hercules, Sundance Kid and Last One Standing last month and has won over this CD. However, quite a competitive heat; Johnny The Thief is likely to be popular with punters, while it could be worth forgiving Trois Trois Quatre a poor run last time out.
