R2 Nantes – C7 – Prix President Michel Bodiguel Grand Steeple-Chase de Loire-Atlantique – 1:22 p.m.
François Pradeau’s favorite
701 – Ginja des Taillons: Venue specialist with four races for three steeplechase victories in Nantes and title holder of this President Prize Michel Bodiguel Grand Steeple-Chase de Loire-Atlantique, she has just made an encouraging comeback in a better field at Auteuil by being fifth. First chance despite his 69 kg.
Son outsider
702 – L’Arrabiato: It starts in Nantes but it is back on a smooth route which gives it an advantage after an eighth place in Quinté+ at Auteuil. On his third place in the Grand Steeple-Chase of the Departmental Council of Mayenne, he can surprise the favorites.
The favors of Léo Ganne
701 – Ginja des Taillons: She is the defending champion of this event, already contested last year in very difficult terrain. The protégé by Etienne d’Andigné loves it when the conditions are complicated and gave him his first Listed. She has just had a brilliant comeback, in a good field at Auteuil, and is certainly at the top for her objective. It must be remembered that in the spring, she would have fought for the first places, without a fall at the end of the race, in the Prix Robert de Clermont-Tonnerre.
Son outsider
708 – Castle Anne: The mare of Gabriel Leenders has just perfected its condition in a Quinté, over hurdles. Convincing in the spring, in good places on the Auteuil steeple and in difficult terrain, it can make a name for itself at good odds.
