Our opinion: ESPRESSO ITALIA (7)
This competitor to Fausto Barelli has very flattering lines to show off. At the start of the summer he performed well in the Gran Premio Unione Europea in Modena, won by Executiv Ek, seventh in the Critérium Continental since. For his first outing in France, he could well make everyone agree.
Race analysis
ESPRESSO ITALIA (7) performed honorably against the best of his generation in Italy, as during his sixth place in the Gran Premio Unione Europea in Modena in June. For his first attempt in France, he faces opposition within his reach and could well take advantage of it to return to victory. EXPRESS D'ARC (14), who defended himself correctly in Groups this summer at Enghien, remains on a pleasant victory on this track. He looks set to be a candidate for success, just like ETRANGER JOYEUSE (9), who left a superb impression here on June 8. KHEOPS BOURBON (13) will certainly progress on his last attempt and will aim for a place on the podium, like THE LION (16), who will set off with the confidence of his mentor, and EMPIRE AS (4), certainly on the rise. KAISER DE MORTREE (8) broke the screen on December 5 while he was shod. If he benefits from a good run, he is able to take one of the first five places, like KEMPEL DE GUEZ (11), in great form.
