During this listed contested over 2,000 meters, the candidacies of Morphewan et Cambronnewho depend on the training of the formidable Patrice Cottier, attract attention. For the first named, it is quite simply the race we have been aiming for for a long time, as its designer tells us: “We have had this list in mind for many weeks. The horse has recovered well since his last outing at Salon-de-Provence and all the lights are green for Sunday. Before adding about the offspring ofAlex The Winner : He too is at his best and is evolving in his garden in Marseille-Borély. We can have doubts about the 2,000 meters, but he appeared very well there in 2023 in the Prix Guillaume d'Ornano, in Deauville. In short, he has regular luck.”
Dilawar can still make the weight
Winner of two events of this Défi du Galop version 2024, undisputed leader of this tournament and second in this Marseille Grand Prix last year, Dilawar is still to be followed with confidence despite his 61 kilos to carry. Then, the jacket of Jean-Claude Seroul, who has not crossed the post at the head of this listed since 2013 and a victory of Le Ringdeserves to be followed with interest. Now in the hands of Nicolas Perret, it counts, first of all, on Dar Toungiwinner of the Vase d'Argent (L.) in Toulouse at the start of the season and presented with quite a bit of freshness. Its other representative, Silver Baynoticed in Salon-de-Provence during his last performance and supplemented for the occasion, is also not the first to come. Finally, the candidacy of Red Pearl poses a problem… Indeed, she is the title holder, but her current form is questionable and her trainer, Brigitte Ré-Scandella, has expressed some doubts about her.
