Our opinion: HUPECA DE THAIX (12)
This excellent finisher is in his garden in Pau and has just left a formidable impression behind INSIDE MONTLIOUX (8) in the Prix Jean Lamaysouette. At the end of a smooth journey, he will not be far from the truth. A priority.
Race analysis
Endowed with a formidable burst of final speed, HUPECA DE THAIX (12) also has serious references on the Pau racecourse. If it benefits from a smooth journey, this quality subject will not be far from the truth. Long on the sidelines after his participation in the Grand Steeple-Chase de Paris 2023, DOCTOR KALEO (4) has just shown a clear return to form on the course that interests us. Theoretically competitive in value 60, it easily has its place on the podium. Trained by the very fit Daniela Mele, CALIGRAMME (2) and MIRALAGO (1) seem able to stand out despite their heavy weight. Between them, we will intersperse ECOTE EN TETE (5), convincing on December 11 for his debut on the Béarn steeple. HURRICK DES OBEAUX (16) is well located at the bottom of the table and is an essential choice for places, even if he would perhaps have preferred a shorter distance. INSIDE MONTLIOUX (8), in his garden at Pont-Long, and ALWAYS LOVE YOU (13), whose latest attempt is better than the raw result indicates, cannot be ignored at the time of choice.
