“In the Prix de Jussac, Beaufour’s Karma (211) has its say. Last in Cabourg, I preferred to take it again by starting with number 14 behind the autostart. He followed behind and then completed an encouraging straight line, especially since he had his irons on. On Saturday, his hindquarters will be unshod. He’s not downgraded, that’s for sure, but I would be disappointed not to see him take an active part in the finish.
In the Quinté+, I think that Flying Brickell (404) has a great card to play. The latest results should not be taken literally. In the Prix d’Hautefort, he made a comeback. The next time at Pontchâteau, he got away in the last corner even though he was following well and could claim a place. He returned in good condition. Saturday, the commitment is interesting. It adapts to all distances and I am convinced that it will perform well. I add that it will be lighter in its fittings.
In the Prix de Vic-Fezansac, Izio du Pommereux (705) et Italian By Pao (708) have an identical chance. The first named is in good shape, in his category and doing his job on this course. The second has practically the same profile. He too is competitive for a place. Only the progress of the test will decide between them. »
