01/10/17 Chantilly - including Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe
My views on Chantilly and the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe 1:10 Soustraction 12/1 Polydreams form against Laurens is very solid and makes her a worthy favourite for this and is the choice of Maxime Guyon, which does point to her being the main hope, however the soft conditions, I am not sure how well that will suit, by Oasis Dream I think she would prefer firmer conditions. Magical has form on the softer surface, she beat Happily the first time in a Group 2 and then Happily reversed the form In the Moyglare. As with Polydreams, she would probably prefer firmer conditions, but has shown that she can go well in the mud. But I am going for SOUSTRACTION who is a big price, for a horse who won a Group 3 on this 2 nd run, the time was actually very good and it was over C&D (Wild Illusion is back in 3 rd ). She won on soft that day, and is by Lope De Vega so the soft conditions will be prefect for her. I think she can cause an upset here. 1:45 Happily 15/8
