Sixteen quality trotters will be at the start of the Anjou-Maine Grand Prix (2,875 meters), a Group III Quinté+ support event this Wednesday, October 2 at the Meslay-du-Maine racecourse. And our expert Bruno Jolivet placed at the top of his selection Ino you Lupin (4), this time presented barefoot after returning to school. According to him, this leading gelding represents a potential winner. His driver, Antoine Wiels, told us about him: “He needed to decompress after a series of races during the first semester. He had a good comeback. We had removed the reins from him, but he was not comfortable in the turns, where he hit his knees. We will give it to him. It’s even better on the right. Even if he may lack a real race, he can compete for victory, despite a very well composed field.” The direct opposition will be led by Gaspar d’Angis (9). This excellent unblocker should quickly erase his initial handicap. It is one of the priorities of the test, as Inexess Bleu (5). His most recent semi-failure includes an apology. Anthem of the Gers (3), better than ever, tries his luck at a higher level, whileHohneck (16), whose forfeit has been made up, will be removed for his return to the outfit register. I Like Football (2) performed very well in the Critérium des 5 Ans and excels on the right. Harlem of Bucy (6), fully reassuring on the day of his debut under the saddle, returns to the harness in the shoes of a beautiful outsider. To finish, Bordeaux S. (8), who almost always gives the best of himself, benefits from a tailor-made commitment.
Bruno Jolivet’s numerical prediction: 4 – 9 – 5 – 3 – 16 – 2 – 6 – 8
100% Quinté: Johann Longépine also relies on Ino du Lupine
Johann Longpée hosted our daily show 100% Quinté. Here is his selection.
Ino you Lupin (4) : “Jean-Paul Marmion’s champion has just made his return to the Le Mans racecourse, in the stage of the Grand National du Trot. That day, he was presented without reins, and shod on all four feet. Suffice to say that it was not a goal, but his straight line was good. His driver expects a good performance from him. Unshod on all four feet, that’s 18 races, for 13 victories and 3 places. Back on top, everything is in place for him to achieve a great performance.”
Gaspar d’Angis (9) : “He was dazzling recently at Lyon-Parilly, in the Grand Prix du Centre-Est. He didn’t miss his target and flew away to finish. He is a horse capable of starting quickly, he should quickly overcome his initial handicap and given his current form, I think he can be second inIno you Lupinand even worry him. Rope to the right and D4, that’s 7 races, and 100% success on the podium.”
Anthem of the Gers (3) : “He has just shown himself tough in the fight, in the GNT stage at Le Mans. He pulled out all the stops to win. D4 again, in shape and in the lead, led by Jean-Michel Bazire, he can complete the podium.”
Inexess Bleu (5) : “He disappointed somewhat in the last place, but he did not have a favorable race. It is one of the priorities in this event.”
Hohneck (16) : “Rope on the right, 100% success in the first four, including three successes. Success is on his side. He is D4 and with Gabriele Gelormini, we are forced to believe it.”
