It is the favorite of our tipster Cédric Bloquet, but not only. Ino you Lupin (12) is also the first choice of 20 of the 22 participants in the French championship of tipsters organized by our title. Of course, he will have to give twenty-five meters, but this will be the case for his main opponents. Certainly, he was disqualified last at Meslay-du-Maine, but his form is sure; he would have won without this mistake in the final moments of the race. Last year, he prepared in the best possible way for his sumptuous winter meeting by winning in Nantes beforehand. He will try to do the same thing before his first engagement at Vincennes, on November 9. Grace of the Digeon (16), which has “kept in optimal physical condition since his mounted trotting race three weeks ago”, according to Charles Dreux, established himself as the first opponent of Jean-Paul Marmion’s horse. Winner of the Anjou-Maine Grand Prix on October 2 and second again last time, Gendréen (15) can rely on a certain form. He is a candidate for the podium. Not seen since February 18, Hacker Lover (9) finds a commitment of choice, at the limit of regression, for its recovery. If he remains wise this time, Bordeaux S. (13) undoubtedly has the means to join the fight for the first places on a theoretically more favorable left-hand course. Cash Bank Bigi (10) is not everyday but has plenty of potential to shine in an event like this. Recovered from his back pain according to Jacques Bruneau, Encountered Dairpet (5) should behave much better this time. Undefeated in mounted trotting events, Gazelle de Val (7) is also capable of great things when harnessed.
The prediction in figures from Cédric Bloquet (ParisTurf): 12 – 16 – 15 – 9 – 13 – 10 – 5 – 7
100% Quinté: The same five for Thomas Bourgain
In our daily show 100% Quinté, to be found below, Thomas Bourgain has established a prognosis in line with that of Cédric Bloquet where Ino du Lupin, Grace of the Digeon et Gendréen occupy the podium.
Ino you Lupin (12) : “He’s quite simply the best horse of the lot! Under the pressure of Gendréen, he committed the irreparable a few meters from the finishing post during his last outing. As he lacked a real race, this attempt still had a positive impact. Unshod on all four feet, as is the case here, he won 13 of his 19 races (84%). Without incident, he should set the record straight.”
Grace of the Digeon (16) : “She has a string of good performances, both in the driving and in the mounted trot. Partnered four times with Franck Nivard in the past, she won twice and ranked among the top five the other two times. All the lights are green for the resident of Charles Dreux. His place is on the podium.”
Gendréen (15) : “He’s the killer ofIno you Lupin in the Anjou-Maine Grand Prix. He is in good shape and is currently putting in good performances. He should continue his momentum on Friday in Laval.”
Bordeaux S. (13) : “We must forget his last outing in the Anjou-Maine Grand Prix on a right-handed racecourse which does not correspond to his skills according to his trainer. Although he rarely wins, he has a commendable consistency as evidenced by his 8 places in 11 races this year. If he has a good run, he will be at the finish line again on Friday.”
Hacker Lover (9) : “It is a return to school as far as he is concerned, but the commitment is sumptuous, bordering on hindsight. His coach having made it known that he had work behind him, a place seems within his reach.”
