75% success in the first three! This is the success percentage of Iron du Gers (1) when he moves with all four feet unshod. Suffice to say that the representative of Jean-Pascal Bragato will be very prominent this Friday evening in today’s event. “He will progress over a distance that has always worked well for him. It’s a good race for him”Jean-Michel Bazire told us in his weekly column. Prepared for this race, the protégé of Nicolas Bazire, who will be associated with him, should actively compete for victory, even if a mare like the Swedish Iliad (5), who also appreciates the 2,100 meters of the big track, will not be neglected for success, like the Italian Chemar (7), who depends on the formidable Erik Bondo team and who will be associated with Jean-Michel Bazire with whom he won by 1’11” on this course, on September 19.
Less well placed behind the autostart, Impératrice Vitela (9) must nevertheless be retained very high in a selection, like Colbert WF (14), who has speed but will have to start on the second row, If You Can (8), barefoot this time, In and Vrie (3), to be bought back, and Interim Boy (11), after a return to school.
The numerical prediction of Cédric Bloquet (ParisTurf): 1-5-7-9-14-8-3-11
100% Quinté: Christophe Meyer confident
In the “100% Quinté” show this Friday, November 15 in Vincennes, our specialist in the “training” section also selected Iliad (5) et Iron du Gers (1) at the top of his selection.
Iliad (5): “She is the fastest on the course and her association with Alexandre Abrivard works wonderfully since together, they have never disappointed. The number 5 behind the autostart is the number that wins most often at Vincennes. So it’s hard not to see him as having a very first chance.”
Iron du Gers (1): “He has just run in Chartres to keep himself in shape for this superb entry. He has won several times on this course and will be very competitive again.”
appeal (7): “Good winner on this course on September 19, he did not confirm afterwards, but he presented himself that day with an interval of more than a month between the two races. Certainly, he has a slightly off number, but JMB will rectify the situation.”
Empress Vitela (9): “She is booming and notably finished second in Denia on this course during his penultimate outing. She is very consistent and even if she shot 9, we cannot forget her with the presence of Éric Raffin on her sulky.”
Colbert WF (14): “Second behind Iliad on October 11, he reunites with Gabriele Gelormini and should take a place in the top five.”
