Wednesday January 8, 2025, the conditions of the day will suit very well Thaix Hupeca (12)very good on heavy ground, and with several good performances on the Béarn steeple. This resident of Erwan Grall, driven by Raphaël Mayeur, will indeed be a good point of support and he was placed in the lead by our expert, Florent Béasse, in ParisTurf. This 8-year-old gelding, having just performed very well here on December 17 (2nd), will have a good card to play, but other protagonists are also likely to do very well. Like Caligramme (2), resident of Daniela Mele (very successful during this meeting in Pau), who has titles, Listen en Head (5)who established himself during his first steps at Pont-Long, Miralago (1), capable of playing a leading role despite the top-weight (72 kg), Doctor Kaléo (4)in very good spirits currently and equipped with blinders, and Inside Montlioux (8)which last dominated Thaix Hupeca (12). This time, he was penalized by weight, logically. Afterwards, Always Love You (13)et Grand Clermont (7)impeccable for several weeks, are likely to do well, too.
Florent Béasse’s prediction, in ParisTurf: 12–2–5–1–4-8–13–7
In the show 100% Quinté, Thomas Guilmin chooses Ecoute en Tête (5)
In the show 100% Quinté, our collaborator Thomas Guilmin discussed his selection with his favorite horses. He trusted Listening in Head (5), which he placed first in his prognosis. Below, some excerpts from the show that you can watch on the ParisTurfTV YouTube page.
Listening in Head (5) : “Last time, this resident of Philippe and Camille Peltier was not the best entered in the race. And yet, he was tough in the straight and repelled all the attacks. In particular, that of a certain Galléo Contia horse who finished third in the Grand Steeple-Chase de Paris during his superb.”
Hupeca De Thaix (12) : “He remains in an interesting second place in a similar handicap on the route that interests us, where he was beaten by his training companion, Inside Montlioux (8). We believe him, however, capable of taking revenge on his comrade.”
Caligramme (2) : “For his part, he arrives with a bit of freshness, because he has not been seen since November 17, 2024 at Auteuil, where he finished fifth in the Prix Cacao, a handicap that is always highly coveted. Last year, he had already managed to win a handicap on the Pau steeple.”
Grand Clermont (7) : “He is ridden by the 2024 Cravache d’Or, Clément Lefebvre, which is always an important advantage. He placed third in the Prix Général Donnio (Listed)during his last outing. He is discovering the Pau steeplechase but if he adapts to it, he can integrate the right combination.”
Doctor Kaléo (4) : “This resident of Alain Couétil is in good shape since he has just finished second in a conditional race, on this route, being clearly dominated by Jumping Charlie. The latter has since finished third in the preparation for the Pau Grand Prix.”
