Our opinion: IDAO DE TILLARD (13)
Absent since his unsuccessful attempt in the Prix de Sélection (Gr.1) on March 4, this great champion is making a much-awaited reappearance. He discovers a favorable entry and will present himself in “race mode” from the outset. If he provides his good value, he will be hard to beat.
Race analysis
Party co-favorite of the last Prix d’Amérique, IDAO DE TILLARD (13) is currently one of the best French horses in activity. He discovers a very favorable engagement for his reappearance and has no adversary to his measure. Barring any incident, he must return to winning ways. Convincing since the beginning of the year, HOKKAIDO JIEL (6) seems to be the only one able to “tickle” Thierry Duvaldestin’s champion. Dauphin d’Hohneck in the Prix des Ducs de Normandie, while ahead of Astonishing, he must logically play a leading role. Behind these two solid bases, CASH BANK BIGI (1), capable of fine finishes when it can run hidden, and CAPITAL MAIL (8), recent third in the “Lottery” in Naples, can aim for the last step of the podium . Recently arrived in the workforce of Laurent-Claude Abrivard, the “steamroller” FIRE CRACKER (11) could find a second wind. ELIE DE BEAUFOUR (14) no longer has any margin at this level and will probably struggle to do better than fourth with his initial handicap of 25 meters. FAKIR DU LORAULT (10) and ELVIS DU VALLON (12) must imperatively run beaten and will discount failures to integrate the winning combination of Quinté+.
