13th and final stage of the Grand National du Trot before the grand finale, scheduled for Sunday December 1 at Paris-Vincennes, the Quinté+ this Wednesday November 20 promises to be captivating in many respects. In addition to the presence of the first two in the general classification, Igrec de Celland et Ibiki de Houellethe candidacy ofIguski Sautonne (6), in great shape, attracts attention. Cédric Bloquet sees him winning in the Pink City where his mentor, a year earlier, had triumphed in the 46th Grand Prix du Sud-Ouest with Gaspar de Brion. “He once again imposed himself pleasantly in Saint-Galmier, where he was well engaged at the near post, rewinds Matthieu Abrivard at Christophe Meyer’s microphone. This is still the case this Wednesday in Toulouse, but the opposition is tougher. He is at his best and, as always, we will have to remain vigilant in the first meters of the race. Ibiki de Houelle et Igrec de Celland are to be feared as a priority, but he can achieve a third success.” Our expert opposes it Ibiki de Houelle (13), who is 18 units behind the yellow jersey and must score points for the GNT final. Gabriella Duem (8), which will evolve in a new configuration, also has a very good card to play on a track where it has frequently distinguished itself. Our expert also accepts the application ofHave Seven (11), ideally engaged at the limit of the 25 meter setback, and Meadow Jakartas (7), returned at best. At the end of the suit, Cédric Bloquet invites you to slide Goal Star (5), the yellow jersey Igrec de Celland (12) et Undefeated Madiba (9) whose coach, Bastien Michardière, declared to our reporter Arnaud Lecomte: “It adapts to all routes, right or left. He is well placed in the lead and has a very first chance.”
The numerical prediction of Cédric Bloquet (ParisTurf): 6 – 13 – 8 – 11 – 7 – 5 – 12 – 9

Find his five favorites below.
Ibiki de Houelle (13) : “He will have to go 25 meters but he is a great horse with two successes and as many first runners-up in the 2024 GNT. If he wants to be able to compete with Igrec de Celland in the general classification, he must achieve a good performance and finish on the podium.”
Iguski Sautonne (6) : “He was very good at Saint-Galmier, immediately making the difference coming out of the last turn. He is in great shape and Matthieu Abrivard is very confident (read his column here)even if you have to remain vigilant with him in the first meters.”
Gabriella Duem (8) : “The little extra about her is that she will be barefoot on all four feet for the first time in her career on Wednesday. Finally, at Beaumont-de-Lomagne, she bowed with honors at the expense of Nice Greek et Gendréen. In addition, she likes La Cépière where she has won five times and culminates in 83% of podiums. She can perform a number.”
Have Seven (11) : “Winner of the Grand Prix de la Ville de Cabourg this summer, he shone again on October 11 at Vincennes in the Prix Héra, winning in a significant action. He completed a preparation race for this stage of the GNT, where he is engaged just at the limit of the 25 meter retreat. This resident of Nicolas Bazire has his place at the finish.”
Goal Star (5) : “He is having an excellent year and his last outing was very good. He has a great card to play at the first level as evidenced by his barefoot right-rope statistics (2 victories and 87% success rate at the finish).”
