The favors
Keep Going (3) will be expected at the turning point in this Continental Criterium – America Races Q3. In fact, the son of Follow You had left an unusual impression on the 4-year-old criterium. The representative of José Invite had to move with his nose to the wind throughout the entire course and still came out strong. Last noted in the Prix Octave Douesnelthe protégé of Matthew Mottier looks like the colt to beat.
The challengers
East Asia (2) will not hear it that way. The filly ofAlessandro Gocciadoro (elected horse of the year in Italy) had left a magnificent impression in qualifying for the UET Grand Prix and can win this Sunday. Crown (5), depending on the formidable training of Daniel Reason will start on French soil and promises to be the “X” of the race. The son of Chapter Seven has no less than 525,000 euros in his bank account and deserves attention.
We must not ignore the candidacy of Koctel du Dain (1). Certainly, the son of Boccador de Simm has not won since May 2024, but, long leader of his generation and the richest of the lot, he should not be dismissed. Also, Kana de Beylev (9) will launch into this Group I with ambitions, she who has just made a big impression in the Ariste Hemard Prize (Gr. 2). Indeed, after setting off at a gallop, the representative of Joel Séché concluded his journey with a bang to take second place.
Khal’s Fella (17) has just drawn a superb straight line in the Prix Octave Douesnel (3rd), completing his last five hundred meters in 1’09″5. He is an attractive outsider at the start. Finally, Ksar (16) unshod on all four feet for the third time in his career, is a potential spoilsport.
