Jean-Paul Marmion, coach d’Ino du Lupin (12)
Ino du Lupine (12) was a little tired at the end of the course last time, which explains her misstep. He really got into shape for this race. He is discovering the Laval track but it should go well. He has a theoretical first chance despite his initial handicap and I fully expect to see him play a leading role. Know that he will return to Vincennes on November 9.”
Eric Bondo, coach of Bordeaux S. (13)
“Bordeaux S. (13) made a mistake last time, although he was well in the race. To his credit, he remains less comfortable on the right rope. He has to go the distance but still discovers a interesting commitment. He is perfect in the morning and has the means to rehabilitate himself.“
Charles Dreux, trainer of Grace du Digeon (16)
“Grace du Digeon (16) has been running very well recently, both on the harness and on the mount. She is perfect at work and this great commitment comes at the right time. Franck Nivard has already led her to success. The opposition is strong and they must keep their distance, but they should respond.”
