Direction Toulouse this Sunday, November 27, 2022 for the Tiercé-Quarté-Quinté +. In this event, the Max Sicard Prize will have to compete once morest each other as starters. The race will be contested over 2400 meters, and endowed with 60,000€.
In this event, Blue Swan (7) has not been able to shine lately in a recent listed. In his defense, the event was particularly tactical that day and the race scenario had not been favorable to this wait-and-see attitude. Admittedly, its margin at this level is quite slim. But if the race is selective on Sunday this good finisher is not out of the question for a place. Especially since the state of the ground matters little to him.
Geny’s secrets
Domingos Miguel Batista Ribeiro: Say Good Buy (1) had his tongue swallowed the penultimate time and last time he won really easily. He is in good shape. The distance and the very soft terrain should suit him. I think he will be in the top five.
Guillermo Arizkorreta Elosegui: Jo Pickett (2) was claimed not long ago. Lastly, things didn’t go well in Madrid, where he was a little too lively. He is returning to a racecourse and a field where he won last year in this same event. I’m happy with him at work. We will see what it will give, because we are in the process of getting to know him.
Ms. Barbara Valenti: Qatar River (3) doesn’t run in the summer because he doesn’t like hard courts. On the other hand, he really appreciates the soft tracks. It had a very good comeback last time at this same course and will be better this time. He is in good shape and likes Toulouse very much. Moreover, he finished second in this competition last year. I trust him.
Eric Libaud: Equinoxe (4) had back problems during the summer, which is why he ran little. He ran very badly at Deauville because the good ground caused resonances in his back. Since then, with the softening of the terrain, it’s been much better. It is still as good as in Dieppe and the lot is quite homogeneous. I think he has the right to behave well.
Jean-Claude Rouget: Pouvoir Royal (5) has been attractive lately in a lower category, he will find himself at La Cépière facing his first goal of the winter. The race is not easy but the horse will have freshness, the aptitude for the track and heavy ground. Then, he will aim for the Grand Prix de Cagnes.
Philippe Sogorb: Up Helly (6) has just been narrowly beaten on this course by Pouvoir Royal. That day, we were 4 kilos heavier than him. It is found at equal weight. I hope to take our revenge even if the latter was only on his second outing. His only failure took place at St-Cloud, over a distance that was too long. He has just proved that the heavy ground does not bother him. Regular and honest, it is worth such a lot.
Elias Mikhalides: Royal Force (9) was not blowing at all following the race last time, his performance is incomprehensible. We think it’s a race to forget. The 2,400 meters with soft ground will be more advantageous for him. This year, it is a little less regular than last year but, for me, it must be resumed.
Didier Prod’homme: Prince de Montfort (10) has once once more responded recently. Being outstripped only by a horse capable of very good values in heavy ground. Prince de Montfort presented himself more closely that day. It has since recovered. And worked well on the sand for this trip. A very soft ground is expected and the 6 in the stalls is a good thing for him.
Alain Couetil: Santa Zoo (11) ran very well on this course last time, beaten by very little. Since then, I’ve been waiting a bit for the very soft ground, because it’s much better that way. I rely on her.
Jean-Marie Beguigné: Circe (12) will run one last time before going to stud. She approaches this race with freshness and excellent morale. Soft ground would be welcome on Sunday.
Alfonso Tomas Nunez Trojan: Maracay (13) has suffered an injury which has not allowed him to reach the same level as last year. We think she’s recovered and we want to take advantage of her fitness. Besides, his last performances are good. The distance and the soft ground should suit him. We make the trip with ambitions.
Julien Carayon: Diva Donna (14) remains on a very good attempt at Saint-Cloud. I hope it will rain by Sunday, because the heavier it is, the better it will be for her. She is very well and has worked well for this race. I hope she can repeat what she just showed us.
Edward Monfort: Nearlo of Saints (15) is in great shape. We try the test here, on heavy ground. The race is quite open. I think that the filly, at this value, still has a little leeway, which is why I entered her. We go there as an outsider, but I’m counting on his form.
Jerome Reynier: Olympia (16) will evolve on a course that has already succeeded and the terrain will not bother her. The large number of starters is to be taken into consideration.
Nicholas Clement: Control Tower (17) runs close following his good attempt at St-Cloud, but remained in good shape. The ground will be to his advantage and the distance, shorter than during his last attempts, will not be a problem. The only question mark remains the long displacement. She had run badly at 3 years old in Toulouse, but there were only eight days between her two races. Before stud, we hope to finish well.
