Quinté+ trotting Monday to Vichy in the Henri Berry Prize, a level D harness race, over 2950 meters, for 7 to 11 years old inclusive who have not won €256,000. Retreat of 25 meters to 127,000. BAHIA DEL CIRCEO (our photo) is a potential winner.
10 BAHIA DEL CIRCEO : This good mare has stood out several times this winter at Vincennes, notably placing third in a Quinté+ level B on February 9 over 2700 meters long track. On April 6, she proved that she was still in great shape by winning a C race over the 2100 meters of the big track. Although she discovered the Vichy track this Monday, this excellent finisher deserves a lot of credit.
12 HAVE SEVEN : On November 9, this resident of Jean-Michel Bazire had finished third in a D race at Vincennes on the 2700 meters of the big track. His last three races cannot be taken literally because he was not unshod. He was certainly prepared for this entry at Vichy, the racecourse where he won for his only attempt (in June 2020). Presented this time unshod 4, all lights are green
11 GYBOR WELL : At the start of the year, in D races, he won on January 11 at Bordeaux-Le Bouscat and placed second on January 20 in Toulouse. Third in the Gr. III level Quinté+ on January 3 in Angers, this good right-hander finds opposition on his ropes here. Watch out for him!
9 HOLERO LOVE : This 7 year old gelding from the training of Sébastien Guarato is aging well and had a great year in 2023, notably winning five races, including the Green Trophy Final. It has the size to shine in this Quinté+ and will make progress on its pleasant return on April 26, at Vincennes.
6 ERPION OWL : Serious and regular subject, in six races since the start of the year, he has finished four times in the top three, including two victories. He has just won on April 29 in an E race at Bordeaux-Le Bouscat. Good right-hander and well engaged at the near post, you should be very wary of him.
8 HARLEQUIN : Arrested after his race on September 4 in Feurs, he resumed competition on March 18, in Châtillon-sur-Chalaronne. He then ran twice in order to arrive in good condition for this great entry at €770 from the limit. Given the confidence of those around him, he deserves credit in this Quinté+.
4 HARO DARCHE : In his last twelve outings, he has finished in the top three ten times. His easy victory on April 10 at Lyon-La Soie, in an F race, proves his form. This great right-hand route specialist is an attractive outsider.
14 CHAMANT GIPSY : Running unshod in the 4, he finished second in a D race on April 12 at Vincennes, proving his form. This good finisher, confirmed on the right and having shone for his only attempt on the Vichy track, constitutes a good spoilsport in this Quinté+.
