Our opinion: Pledge of success (2)
Remarkable in the Prix Auguste de Castelbajac, of which he was the defending champion, this representative of the Ecurie Couderc has now regained his full potential. In his garden in Pau, he will logically rally a large part of the votes.
Race analysis
To establish a coherent prognosis in this event, the study of the Prix Auguste de Castelbajac, disputed on January 11, is essential. Second in this key event, Gage de Réussite (2) offers solid guarantees, especially since he has never disappointed with Clément Lefebvre in the saddle. Well placed in this event thanks to the two kilos granted to the 5-year-olds, Marie Coastala (4) faces her elders for the first time with high ambitions. Second in the last edition of this event, Black Boa (8) still seems dashing at the age of 10 and can thus join the fight for runners-up. Enki The Best (1), in view in very high batches at the age of 4, Hyjie (7), in her garden in Béarn, and Lady Hanwell (13), whose last two ends of the race are very encouraging , are priority choices. Havanea (3) brilliantly won the benchmark race and cannot be ignored despite the seven-pound penalty. Sternkranz (5) had a busy meeting on the Riviera, but let’s remember that he took third place in this event in 2022.
