Race 8: Victorine (#10)
Showed real promise in France, finishing a close fourth in a tough Group 3 Prix de Psyche.

5-2 on ML

Race 9: Killybegs Captain (#2)
Was badly compromised by a stumbling start and a slow pace last time.
Has been steadily improving throughout his 5-year-old season and is in career form now.
