The representative of Alain Jathière finished good second in Auteuil for his return to school against his elders. For his debut on the Compiègne racecourse, this Gurzuf (106) seems capable of aiming for victory but an element like Dream Messanger (111), who has just run well on this track for his return to the hurdles, will also be very prominent for his return at handicap level, like a competitor like Alentejo (103), which must be redeemed against only 5 years this time. “It’s been twice that he hasn’t run well at Auteuil. Finally, he was very tense over the obstacles and didn’t breathe too much. I’m changing racetracks and I changed things in the morning. This can bear fruit. He still showed much better in competition during his good performances.” estimates one of its two developers, Guillaume Macaire.
Happy Harry (114), which has just had a good comeback, Johnny Roque (107), whose aptitude for Compiègne is proven, King David (105), who should have made progress on his return to school, Hill of Bamboo (112), which moves up in category but which hit the mark upon its reappearance, or even Just In Time Blue (115), who had shown some ability at the start of the season, are all competitive for a place in the top five.
Florent Béasse’s numerical prediction: 6-11-3-14-7-5-12-15
“100% Quinté” program: Thomas Guilmin also relies on Gurzuf
Facing the camera, our journalist Thomas Guilmin, like Florent Béasse, decided to focus on Gurzuf’s candidacy in this Thursday quinté in Compiègne.
Gurzuf (6) : “He has just had a good comeback by placing second in the reference race of the Prix Jean Bart, colliding with the rock Rock And Rollbut he will face several opponents that he dominated that day. We saw him win his handicap on June 25 before he was arrested, being penalized with four kilos, which did not prevent him from repeating. The only small question is that he will discover the Compiègne route. It seems to be on the rise and is one of the priorities.”
Concert (16): “He started in the spring in hurdles with a second place in Strasbourg, then obtaining the same ranking behind Johnnysaid which is also at the start of this Thursday’s quinté. He made his return to Auteuil on September 14, having ridden wisely and finished very well. For its first handicap, we think it is well located and that we should probably be wary of it.”
Happy Harry (14) : “He ranked 5th in the Prix Jean Bart despite having to complete a comeback race. Despite this, he had behaved very honorably. He is a horse who appreciates sticky tracks and who should apparently be able to fight for the first places.”
Saint Louis Blues (2) : “He now has a handicap value of 63.5, which did not prevent him from placing second in the Prix Jean Granel. On the other hand, he then failed in the Great Spring Hurdle Race, where it was a little harder and where he was perhaps a little tired. Recently, he made a good comeback in the steeplechase and must have progressed in this race. There is no doubt that he should repeat knowing that in the handicap category, he has one victory and two runners-up in three outings.”
Graym (10) : “After an interesting career on the flat where she notably placed at listed level, she started this year in obstacle courses, taking only three races to open her record in this new discipline in Dieppe. Rested this summer, she has just made a promising return to Compiègne. She starts in the handicaps with a margin which seems sufficient to compete for the finish.”
