14 competitors aged from 7 to 11 years inclusive, who have not won 181,000 euros, will be at the start of the Prix de Wolvega, the Quinté+ support event this Thursday in the temple of trotting. The favorite of our expert, Cédric Bloquet, will be Instant d’Haufor (12), winner last December 21 at Vincennes, already on a strong course. And that day, David Thomain’s partner made a very good impression. He still deserves a lot of credit this Thursday. “He won pleasantly last month by providing a very good end of the raceexplained Christian Bigeon, his trainer, to our training team. Equipped with a neck bar, he negotiated the last turn better. Previously, he hadn’t appreciated being countered. I deliberately waited for this favorable commitment, which gave him time to regain freshness. Thursday he should confirm. He has a very good chance.” Insight Spoken (6), which also remains on a victory, can also continue its momentum. Ideal of Rivray (2), judged on its penultimate outing, must be followed with confidence, as Ibis Pettevinière (7), who deserves to return to success in this category. Happy Flower (8) can complete the correct combination, like Inherit (3), which has regained freshness. Haikido (4), which has proven itself at Vincennes, and In and Vrie (9), who faces a slightly weaker field here, are chances for places.
Cédric Bloquet’s prediction (ParisTurf): 12 – 6 – 2 – 7 – 8 – 3 – 4 – 9
100% Quinté: Arnaud Lecomte relies on Ideal de Rivray
As part of our daily show 100% Quinté, Arnaud Lecomte also analyzed the Prix de Wolvega. His preference: Ideal of Rivray (2).
Ideal of Rivray (2) : “He returns to Vincennes, on a track where he won on December 14. He then showed himself to be imperial. He seems to have the means to continue his momentum. In any case, he will be presented at best according to his trainer. Much credit can be given to him.”
Insight Spoken (6) : “He finished third inIdeal of Rivrayin December. It has been led by Éric Raffin for several months. He remains on a success, where he got off to a good start at the entrance to the straight before putting himself out of reach of his rivals, trotting 1’12”8 on the 2,700 meter course of the big track. He only has to repeat this performance to finish on the podium, especially since he will still be stuck with his previous ones.”
-Instant d’Haufor (12) : “The student of Christian Bigeon has already won twice this winter. He must still be careful in the initial phase, where he can gallop.”
Inherit (3) : “He has not been seen in competition since his fourth place last month. Those around him explained that the horse had decompressed. This horse has progressed well during 2024 and he still seems capable of playing a very good role, especially since he was able to regain some freshness. He may not be as sharp as some, but freshness at this moment of the meeting is important.”
In and Vrie (9) : “He is able to follow all trains. He has progressed very well, being able to be unshod on all four feet. He finds a course which will advantage him and if by chance he can place his burst of speed at the right time, watch out for him, because Pierre Vercruysse knows him perfectly. He can get into the right combination.”
