Our opinion: IDAO DE TILLARD (6)
Phenomenal last winter, Cyril Sevestre's star disappointed during his last two outings. He finds a course that he loves and will present himself in “race mode”. He must show a completely different face if he wants to secure his place in the Prix d'Amérique. Rehabilitation expected.
Race analysis
Dazzling last winter, IDAO DE TILLARD (6) disappointed in the Prix du Bourbonnais (8th). Here he finds a course that he particularly likes and must absolutely show another side if he wishes to secure his place for the next Prix d'Amérique, of which he is the defending champion. After two months of absence, the champion GO ON BOY (5) returns. Although he remains shod, he has already shown that he can shine in such conditions. Ideally located behind the car, it can be followed with great confidence. Noticed during his last two performances, on long courses, DON FANUCCI ZET (2) will be even sharper on the 2100 meters of the big track. Completely unshod this time, he can perform a “number”. ALWAYS EK (13), capable of great things when he is not at fault, GU D'HERIPRE (4), title holder of this meeting, ORACLE TILE (11), greatly advantaged by the probable sustained pace, and INMAROSA (1), which will be able to “raze the walls” with this number one, are all possibilities for places. EMERAUDE DE BAIS (3) is guaranteed to be present on the last Sunday in January, but it will still appear in “race mode” this Sunday. Therefore, it would be unwise to eliminate it.
