Our opinion: BELKER (14)
Passed under the leadership of Jean-Michel Bazire last spring, this ex-protégé of Robert Bergh is still looking for a first success at Vincennes. Runner-up to the formidable Free Man on August 27, he was refining his condition recently in the Prix Emile Bézière (Gr. 3) and should not be far from the truth, barefoot this time.
Race analysis
Dolphin of the formidable Free Man in a Group 3 on August 27, Belker (14) kept his irons last. Ideally committed to the earnings ceiling, he has a first chance to defend, barefoot this time. More reviewed since January, Giant Chief (12) looks formidable from the outset and will lead the opposition. Fine Perle of Love (11), who tries the pass of three, and Ingo (12), also in great shape, also have a good card to play. Second asset of Emmanuel Varin’s training, Fée de Ranchval (7) will complete our choice with Cyrano de B. (1), who is looking for his race, Fawley Buissonay (5), only preceded by the formidable Kennedy last April on the course, or Rocky Tilly (2), recent good finisher here even on longer.
