Direction Vincennes this Monday, December 5, 2022 for the Tiercé-Quarté-Quinté +. In this event, the Prix des Alpes will have to compete against each other as starters. The race will be contested over 2100 meters, and endowed with 53,000€.
In this event, Foster Wood (1) made a good comeback, where he needed to run after a long period of rest. He’s made progress on that. It’s a great race here. I think he will be in on it, says Vincent Martens
Geny’s secrets
Roman Hue: Space Falcon (2) was entitled to a short break. Well placed behind the autostart, it presents itself in race mode, but is less confirmed at Vincennes. He will have to improve his record (1’12″7) to play the leading roles. He is able to do it.
Michael Izzo: Gravedigger (3) ran very well last time, reassuring me after two attempts neither good nor bad, being shod. It may still lack a real race but looks good. He is better hidden and can be competitive with his good number.
Sebastien Ernault: Flash de Vely (4) appreciates the 2,100 meters. This commitment falls perfectly into his program. I prepared it for. I can’t often unshod him from the hindquarters. Here he will be barefoot. It definitely improves it. At Caen this fall, in this configuration, it had been good after a course nose to wind. He prefers to be hidden and to track. With the right race, he must compete for the first places.
Charles Bouvier: Floréal (5) has just shown that he was capable of winning, in a rather interesting time on this course. It has the advantage of being able to go ahead like waiting. It is good and has freshness. It’s a great goal for him, a great commitment. He shouldn’t come out of the top three.
Jonathan Vanmeerbeck: Fuego du Mortier (6) had to make a quick start at the start of the course recently to join the leading group, but he then weakened. Previously, he had lined up two good performances in the provinces. It is at its best but it is imperative to practice the waiting race and not make any effort at the beginning, which is not easy to achieve. His place at the finish will therefore depend on how the race unfolds.
Jean-Francois Senet: Elue du Gade (7) is going through a good period of form as evidenced by its latest performances. She didn’t have a very good program after her victory in Bordeaux, I preferred to wait for this good entry. Showing up a month apart isn’t going to bother her. It has no margin and must benefit from a good progress of the race to place its point. If so, she will end up in the fifth.
Leo Abrivard: Filhio de Lou (8) has shown himself too much lately after taking the lead. Its form is not in doubt. I voluntarily gave him time to recover well, to approach this objective as well as possible. The commitment is ideal, but unfortunately he inherited a number outside. I would be, despite everything, disappointed if he does not finish in the fifth.
Christophe Hamel: Famous Sax (9) is flawless this year. We did a conclusive test on the left hand recently. Also, we come back with ambitions. It’s not a big débouler and in addition we have the 9. We will strive to find a place for him in the peloton and come to finish. So it is much better. We will have to manage his position but he is very good.
Michael Dabouis: Everly (10) has clearly increased the training sessions. We have preserved it a lot. It’s time to see where she is. It still risks being fair, but I expect to see it run in improvement.
Patrick Terry: Forsica du Rocher (11) had to make an effort to take the lead last time and could not give a boost. He is rather well placed with the 11 this time. He has no leeway at this level. He is still on the podium to claim, but a bit tight at the top level. He is practical and serious. It will aim, at best, for a small place.
Florian Joseph: Fogo Pico (12) got lost in his paces at the end of his last outing as he came to take a small place. Better to judge it on its penultimate outing, on this course. He had taken fourth place in a similar field in a good time. I’m going to unshoe him four feet and give him a reins, like during his good performances. It will be all or nothing.
Jerome-Michel Legros: Fusée des Vaux (13) has returned to its correct level. His two winter attempts at Vincennes prove it. She was only overtaken by 6 years recently. They are absent this time. She likes to come on other people. The day she has the very good race, she will not hit far. From Monday, it is very competitive.
Philippe Daugeard: Filarete du Verger (14) does everything she can. Here she finds a commitment that suits her well. I hope we will inherit a fairly comfortable number (Editor’s note she has 14). If so, she should be able to do well. She’s in good shape but we don’t have a margin
.
Yves Dreux: Feeling Boy (15) disappointed me by showing character before approaching the last turn lately. I will, this time, the driver in a less offensive way and let him shoed. He may no longer appreciate the repeated ironing. Its shape is unmistakable. I advise you to take it back because it faces opponents within its reach.
Laurent Barassin: Franklin de Meslay (16) cannot go around the others. With the 16, it will have to go well. It was less well this summer but has found the right fuel. When he’s in good shape, he’s a good element, quite competitive here.
