R2C4 – Nice County Prize – 1:40 p.m.
The favorite (401) and the outsider (409) by François Pradeau
401 – King David: He has just passed his first test on the steeplechase of Cagnes-sur-Merdominating the Jean Gailly Taurines Prize and leaving his dauphine Faroe Islands by more than eight lengths, on December 6. The soft ground will still suit him, his form is excellent, the course suits him and even if the opposition is stronger, I think he is capable of continuing his momentum.
409 – Oktente : At the finish of her two races of the meeting, at ease on this racecourse, on which she is already placed in the group by being second in the Nice City Grand Prix – Bernard Secly of Marvel by Cerisy in January 2024. It is on the rise and receives weight from its main rivals, which means that it constitutes a serious outsider. I feel like we can “County” on it!
The favorite (402) and the outsider (406) by Léo Ganne
204 – Owner : The protégé of David Windridge has just produced a real demonstration for its first of the meeting. Long at the back, as usual, he then did a “royal canter” to win very pleasantly. He is a true racetrack specialist. Maybe he's the new one Berjou of his trainer. The latter was to direct him directly to the Grand Steeple, but certainly the physical state of his resident encourages him to declare him a starter in this beautiful Listed race. Ludovic Philipperon discovered him the last time and will be his partner again, the feeling has passed between them.
406 – You mourned : I have loved this horse since his debut at Guy Cherel. Very athletic, he imposes his style with class. Two winters ago he won the Grand Prix of the City of Nice before finishing fifth in the Grand Steeple Chase de Paris 2023. Absent since then, he made his comeback but fell at the end of the course, while he was beaten. He will therefore be in the position of outsider here but should have improved in physical condition since then. It should not be hastily condemned.
