Bruno Beaucamp, driver of Gavroche de l’Iton (5):
“Gavroche de l’Iton (5) is in the form of his life. The engagements are coming one after the other well for this good right-hander. He is always perfect in training. Know that he is better when he can run hidden. In such a field, he has the means to play a leading role. I am confident.”
Stéphane Provoost, coach of Genet de Boitron (9):
“Genet de Boitron (9) is not happy at Vincennes and should not be judged on his last result. Previously, he took a very good fifth place at Vire. This good right-hander will appreciate the Vichy racecourse. He will not have his cadets and foreigners in his path. I am counting on him to put in a great performance!”
Guillaume Gillot, coach of Gai Matin (13):
“Lastly, Gai Matin (13) ran in the amateur ranks to please his partner. He hadn’t raced for a month and a half, but he clearly doesn’t want to fight in the mounted trot anymore. This race did him some good for this Quinté+. I’ve been aiming for this event for a while. He likes the right-hand rail and I really liked him during the spring. I’ve had Jean-Michel Bazire on the line for a while, to take up the challenge of making him win the race that bears his name. We’ve done everything we can to ensure he gets back to winning ways.”
