York Race 3 - Sky Bet Great Voltigeur Stakes (Group 2)
SUPERIOR CHOICE (6) Solid effort when winning by 1 3/4L last start at Hamilton and will find this grade easier. Unbeaten this preparation with 3 wins from as many runs. Genuine threat. CHRISTMAS DAY (1) Did well when 2nd last run at Curragh and up against a less competitive field. Should come to hand quickly. Placed at every start this preparation. Must respect in this event. MALTESE CROSS (2) Secured a close victory last time at Longchamp and has been racing in stronger company. Has run into the placings all attempts this preparation. Gets a chance to win. GALIYAN (4) Did well when 2nd last run at Newmarket and facing a weaker group of contenders. Drawn beautifully. Keep in mind.

Competitive effort when 2nd last run at Curragh and challenged by less formidable competitors. Has good tactical speed and will be nicely positioned. Should go very close.

Narrowly clinched the victory last time at Longchamp and up against a less challenging field. Been in the money 4 from 4 attempts this preparation. Genuine claims.

Was $6.50 and unimpressive effort when 12th last start at Curragh but will appreciate the drop in class. Should jump out and bowl along. Facing a rise in trip. Will need to elevate.

Was all too good winning by 1 3/4L last start at Hamilton and competing at a lower level of competition. Good career start. Attracts support.
