Our expert Florent Béasse chose Baba Sim (15) as the favorite in the Quinté+ this Monday, November 4 at Fontainebleau, the Prix Roland Fougedoire. This first split handicap event will see 16 starters aged 3 and over compete over 1,200 meters. Florent Béasse therefore made this 5-year-old gelding the basis of his prognosis. Now taken at 33, he remains on an encouraging outing and can hope to play a leading role. He hasn’t been the happiest recently at Chantilly, but managed to make a very good final effort. He is in good shape, appreciates this Fontainebleau course and is well placed on the rope. If everything goes smoothly this time, he can play a very good role here. Torpen (1) is well known in this type of tournament and with a small number of strings, he deserves to be bought. Ciao Pa (8) at best, gets along well with Hugo Boutin and can hope to continue his momentum. Drogo (11) is confirmed at Fontainebleau and can hope to redeem himself with his No. 1 on the rope. Bacchilide (6) is the author of a good season, and he performed well in the reference quinté and is aiming for confirmation. To complete his selection, Florent Béasse chose Scarface (3), Impitoyable (5) and Kiloecho (4).
The numerical selection of Florent Béasse (ParisTurf): 15 – 1 – 8 – 11 – 6 – 3 – 5 – 4.
100% Quinté: Arsène Abitbol prefers Scarface
In the “100% Quinté” show this Monday, November 4 in Fontainebleau, the Roland Fougedoire Prize, Arsène Abitbol, after analyzing the 16 runners, chose Scarface as the basis of his prognosis. Find his five favorites below.
Scarface (3) : “His victory, on October 17 at Chantilly, is an essential reference. The ground has softened, so it will be a question of ability, but his margin seems significant.”
Hi Pa (8) : “He finished second in the reference race on October 17. He has resorted to claiming since then by winning, proof of his form. All the lights are green for him.”
Royalwood (10) : “She’s a mare with an interesting profile. The reference of the race is higher than during his last race, the race will therefore be less challenging. I wouldn’t be surprised if she plays a very leading role upon arrival.”
Bacchilide (6) : “It won on September 24 at Vichy and then finished third in a Quinté+. Alexis Pouchin has been in the saddle four times on Bacchilide for a victory and two runners-up.”
The croft (1) : “His music is not the most flattering, but he was running in a much better field recently and only finished two good lengths behind the winner. I would have put him higher if he wasn’t carrying 60kg on his back.”
