It is a multi-faceted race from a pace standpoint but I can see Lauro and Musketier setting an honest pace and if Borel is good at anything it's falling into the right suck-up trip.

I have been among the biggest detractors of Grand Couturier but he's been positioned perfectly for this race and may have run a better race than it looked last time out.
