4 – Jewelcandle Fac : She had so many resources during her last outing that she finally did the irreparable in the final phase. Seeing her at the end of this test would not be a surprise if she deigns to be wise.
3 – Working Class Hero : In full boom, he remains on two health walks in two quality batches. In this open race, anything is possible and with a driver and a horse in good shape, it is also a contender for the podium.
11 – Justin Bold : The spearhead of the stable Checkerboard has just behaved remarkably in the Doynel de Saint-Quentin Prizefailing at the minimum for success in the face of Jushua Tree. Unshod on all four feet for the first time in his career, the son of Bold Eagle has its place on the podium.

13 – Just Love You : Presented barefoot this Sunday as in the Critérium, she also obtained a very good ranking in the Prix de Bretagne – America Races. Facing only the elements of her generation, she would only have to repeat this performance to shine in such society.
11 – Justin Bold : He has just reassured himself by placing second in Jushua Tree. Barefoot for the first time in his career, he will fight for the first places.
4 – Jewelcandle Fac : Finally, in the Prix Narquois, the resident of Damien Bonne would certainly have won without his fault at the entrance to the straight line. Wise, she can make everyone agree.
Kevin Baudon's Top 3
4 – Jewelcandle Fac : Capable of following all trains, it has a formidable burst of speed. Ultimately, she could have won if she had not rushed halfway down the straight. If everything goes like a dream for her, she will freak out the hands of the stopwatch to finish!
13 – Just Love You : She is a classy mare, already a Group 1 winner, who is gaining strength and who placed herself against older competitors in the Prix de Bretagne – America Races Q1, obtaining a precious sesame for the end of the month of January. Barefoot this time, she promises to be very competitive, even if she has not yet crossed the pole in the lead this year.
5 – Eat Vici : Often placed rarely a winner, he will not have the tenors facing him as Josh Power et Jushua Tree. I was charmed by his recent finish in the Prix de Chenonceaux. That day, his driver respected him. With selective pace, he can look his rivals in the eye.
