On Sunday, the Côte d’Azur racecourse will host the penultimate meeting of its obstacle meeting. It will be the most anticipated since it will host the “finals” of the meeting. On paper, the Grand Prix de la Ville de Nice – Bernard Secly (Gr. III) promises to be a great edition. We will notably find Le Roi David there, undefeated this winter in Cagnes and winner of the last preparatory, the Prix du Comté de Nice (listed). Ownerthird last behind the aforementioned, will be one of his main rivals, without forgetting the very good Motu Fareone, who will also aim for victory, she who has just returned to success over hurdles. The originality comes from the presence in the list of a British candidate, that of What Pathan 8 year old horse bred in France and supplemented here. Formerly a resident of Willie Mullins, he is now trained in England by Keiran Burke, for whom he took two third places on the Ascot fences.
And in the lists
Three listeds are also on display. In the Grande Course de Haies, we can already expect a three-way match between Polar Day, Prince Chop et Carthageall of which remain a success. Finally, among 4 year olds, Lucky Nonantaiswhich has revealed itself on the shores of the Mediterranean, will have to get rid ofGod in the Prix Christian de l’Hermite – Grand Steeple-Chase for 4-year-olds, in an event where we will regret the absence of Lafayette. While in the Prix André Massena – Grande Course de Haies for 4-year-olds, we will find the promising Proud Lucy et Atrani, which will logically be closely followed.
