Guillaume Covès’ Top 3
2 – Horsy Dream : He impressed me in the Åby World Grand Prix after winning the Elitlopp and the René Ballière a few months earlier. This Saturday, he pulled an excellent number. Even shod, he runs all alone.
4 – Idao de Tillard : He still had some left in the tank at La Capelle. His main rival is on his inside but over this distance of 2,840 metres, it is less serious. With Horsy Dream, they will surely form the future favourites for the 2025 Prix d’Amérique.
5 – Ampia Mede Sm : It was very good at La Capelle recently. In addition to her performance at Cagnes-sur-Mer, I liked her at Argentan. She is gaining strength with each race. The Duvaldestin training is in good shape. However, I don’t see her refereeing the duel even if she can pull her weight in the event of a failure.
Dylan Venet’s Top 3
2 – Horsy Dream : Simply dazzling in recent months, winner of the Elitlopp in record time, before continuing in the Prix René Ballière as super champion against Idao de Tillard. Flat track with a good number, he looks difficult to dislodge.
4 – Idao de Tillard : This is the direct opposition in this Grand Prix de Wallonie. He has just shown courage in the Prix René Ballière to preserve second place. Without the blinkers at La Capelle, he won well without activating the earplugs. Not lightened in his shoeing configuration, the Mons profile will be a little less to his advantage.
3 – Hooker Berry : He has just made his comeback at La Capelle where he was unable to be dangerous over a distance that suits him a little less. He is back at a distance that suits him. Showing progress on his comeback and unshod on all four feet, he can fight for victory with a good run.
Romain Lecellier’s Top 3
2 – Horsy Dream : In the form of his life, Pierre Belloche’s resident is capable of going to the front, which is a big advantage on the Mons track where it is difficult to come back from behind. The partner ofEric Raffin drew a good number behind the car. It’s his race!
5 – Ampia Mede Sm : She has just reassured at La Capelle by taking an excellent second place, behind Idao de Tillard. If she had been able to fully express herself that day, she could have worried him. I have loved this mare since her arrival in France, I am delighted to see her continue to perform despite her advanced age. I am counting on Théo Duvaldestin to give her the best of the courses. If this is the case, she should be aiming for the podium.
8 – Go On Boy : Unlucky (again) behind the car (with the number 8), the protégé of Romain Derieux was unlucky to start at Cagnes-sur-Mer on his last outing, otherwise he could have won. The lengthening of the distance (2,840m) will serve his interests. If he manages not to be too far back at the start, he should fight for the top places. He will eventually find his day.
