On the occasion of its second release at Quinté+ level, Panarea (8) had not been able to shine (10th) of course, but before that, his first attempt in this category (in the Grande Course de Haies), this summer at Clairefontaine, was quite convincing (3rd), and in last place, the resident of François Nicolle even returned to success at Auteuil, showing great authority. On the rise, the partner of the Welshwoman Charlotte Prichard offers good guarantees at the start of this Prix Céréaliste, Saturday November 2, 2024, on the brooms of the Compiègne racecourse. “ She has just run very well in the steeplechase at Auteuil. There, we return to hurdles, at Compiègne, where she will only face 5-year-olds. She is good and behaved well at this level this summer at Clairefontaine. It should not be neglected », said his mentor from Royan to our collaborator Marie-Pauline Gareau. Also well located in weight, Happy Harry (9) looks close to his day at this level of competition. The son of Zarak has certainly not yet won in the discipline, but we should not believe that he is incapable of winning races, since he has already passed the post in the lead three times on the flat. His court companion, King David (1) promises to be just as competitive, despite a heavy load of 73 kilos. Jane of Brunie (3) has a most interesting profile. She already has five victories and two runners-up, in just nine outings for the training of Guillaume Macaire and Hector de Lageneste. Its debut in the Quintés+ will be closely followed. Clearly, Mickaël Seror will be very well armed and his third representative, Polar Day (2), which has interesting titles, also has the means to do well. Java (5) shows very good consistency overall and can also play referee, while Concert (10), second in the Prix de Beaune (Q+) right here on the course that interests us (behind King David1st, and in front Happy Harry3e) will have legitimate claims, like Joana Conti (6). It is ridden by Clément Lefebvre, who took his joker to be present during this Compiègne meeting.
The prediction in figures from Florent Béasse (ParisTurf): 8 – 9 – 1 -3 – 2 – 5 – 10 – 6
100% Quinté: The selection of Florent Béasse
In our daily show 100% Quinté, to be found below, Florent Béasse established his forecast where he places Panarea (8) leading in front Happy Harry (9) et The King David (1) to occupy the podium.
Panarea (8) : “This resident of François Nicolle gets along well with Charlotte Prichard. In five associations, they have finished in the top three four times, including three victories. She showed her ability in hurdles and steeplechase, a specialty in which she remains an authoritative success at Auteuil. This summer, she proved her competitiveness in the big handicaps by finishing third in a quinté against her elders at Clairefontaine despite her lack of experience. Under 65 kilos, she can hope to play a very leading role on this Compiègne track.”
Happy Harry (9) : “This asset from Mickaël Seror shows commendable consistency. Certainly he is slow to establish himself on the brooms, but this is not necessarily a disadvantage, because he does not gain weight and finds himself rather well placed in this handicap. He is versatile and has already proven his competitiveness at Compiègne. He will once again have to defend his chances dearly.”
King David (1): “This other protégé of Mickaël Seror also attracts attention. He surely won on October 3 in the Prix de Beaune at Compiègne ahead of Concerto et Happy Harry. Comfortable in Compiègne, he will have to carry the heavy burden of 73 kilos, but his form helping him, he can push his limits by being associated with the formidable Felix de Giles.”
Jane de la Brunie (3): “She has raced relatively little since her debut but has rarely disappointed. Ultimately, it only failed after a struggle against Radiance in Fontainebleau. She seems to be taken at her fair value for her first attempt at handicaps. She will discover the Compiègne racecourse, but that should not pose a problem for her. She gets along well with Lucas Zuliani and can hope to do well straight away in this category.”
Polar Day (2): “Here is a competitor who has references having won a big handicap on the Auteuil racecourse at the age of 3. Since then he has done well in well-composed lots. Finally, he took an honorable fifth place against his elders and this time will only be opposed to the 5-year-olds, which could allow him to do very well despite his 71.5 kilos.”
