Laval

Solid in the provinces twice already this year, JUNKIES MINDS (10) returns to racing barefoot after impressing at Cherbourg early this month and looks just a marginally better choice than the good JAG HAUFOR (7) who has been knocking at the door since November. JADOU DU LUPIN (9) will be shod as he was when 2nd under these conditions last month and must be considered dangerous. Winner under the saddle last month before placing over course and distance 2 weeks later, JAMAICA PHEDO (5) has already won 4 times for Eric Raffin and is easy to like. JOVIAL HAUFOR (6) is clearly back on the right trajectory and makes his Laval bow with a good hand to play.
