Group race action at Chantilly on Monday

11.01 - One Mile for 4yo+ - group 3

I fancy taking on the favourite Skalleti - he's won his last 7 races climbing up the ranks and his last 2 wins were at group 2 level, including the Prix Dollar at the Arc meeting. I just think maybe a mile on g/s might be too sharp for him as his last 2 wins were over 10f on V Soft and Hvy ground. Also the only race he's ever lost was his debut when he was well beaten. Maybe he'll need a run ?

I like Plumatic .... also a group 2 winner, a mile specialist, goes very well fresh and the yard has hit the ground running since the resumption with 5 winners from 14 runners last week and top jock Christophe Soumillon gets the ride. He's got a lot going for him !

Skalleti does look a class horse on the upgrade but I reckon today might not be his day

Plumatic - win at 10/3 Paddy Power
