Horse of the day
606 The Good Man : Good fifth for his return to Angersafter seven short months without racing, he should confirm his rise in power and his love of the racecourse Val d’Or. In Saint-Cloudhe has four races for two victories, including a Quinté+ at the age of 4 and a Listed last year at 6 years old (the Madrid Gate Prize – photo) plus a third place and a fourth place allowance. In ascending form, over a distance and a racecourse that he likes, he is able to return to winning ways and presents himself as a base for the trio.

The outsider of the day
605 Mononof : He will start over 3,000 meters this Friday but he should love this sport. This tough and courageous young horse has just made the arrival of a good group at Lyon-Parilly over 2,400 meters making a long and good effort. Certainly in his abilities over the marathon distance, he could compete with the favorites of this Prix la Moskowathe main race of this meeting.
The coach to follow: Paul de Chevigny
This stable in good shape (ten victories for less than sixty starters), presents two horses and as many chances. First the young and promising Beautiful and Well (601) who asserts himself over long distances and who will be a serious opponent to my horse of the day and also Morisot (804). Recent winner at ParisLongchampagain facing an attractive and adept entry on this route, it also ticks all the boxes to make the finish once again.
The jockey to follow: Christophe Soumillon
Why not the man with the ten golden whips, Christophe Soumillon. In the saddle three times, he will attack with Monjaraz (306)in good shape and well engaged, and continue with a good chance in the sprint of the fifth with Empathic (507), then pilot Silawi (709) who has just had an encouraging comeback at Bordeaux-Le Bouscat.
