The prognosis Canalturf.com
2,400 meters, on the sand. This is the route offered to the fifteen candidates for the Prix d’Antibes, Wednesday’s quinté on the Cagnes-sur-Mer racecourse. Bearing the name of a Scottish castle, haven of peace for Queen Elisabeth, BALMORAL seems able to dictate his law there, he who has just had bad luck in a tournament of the same bill.
12 BALMORAL : Above all, it should not be condemned hastily on its last gross classification, in the fifth Prix du Languedoc, last month on this PSF from Cagnoise, where it never found the passage to finish. Effective on the sand, he finds here a great opportunity to obtain compensation.
5 ALWAYS WELCOME (photo): His last two performances on the Cagnes ring attest to his good physical condition. In addition, he has already established himself on the sand. Confirmed on the proposed distance, it is one of the priority choices of this competition.
10 SAINT NICHOLAS : This 7-year-old no longer has to prove himself in tournaments of this ilk. He can also boast of having won a fifth on the track that interests us, at this time last year. And this in 34 of value, almost the same as that displayed today. We keep.
4 DRAGONETS : If he is still looking for a first success in fifths, he has five places in six attempts. He also found only the right Glaer to beat him in the fifth Prix de Marseille, on January 25 on this Cagnoise PSF. What to incline to confidence
6 BIG CALL : He approaches this meeting in full possession of his means. Witness his victory acquired in a handicap, on January 25, on this Riviera sand. Although up six pounds on the handicapper scale, and even if he discovers the distance, he still has a good part to play.
1 BELGIAN PRINCE : In seven straight runs, he signed four podiums, including one victory, at this time last year. Proof of its effectiveness in such a society. Recent 2nd in a Cagnes event, on the grass, he returns to the sand with legitimate ambitions.
3 BOBYDSILVER : This 6-year-old presented by Jean Pierre Gauvin a double winner of fifths. He notably made his own an event on the sands of Deauville, last winter. Here, for his debut over 2,400 meters, he seems able to accompany the previous names.
11 SECRET ISLAND : Certainly, he is measured against his elders for the first time in his career. On the other hand, it could not do better than 7th in the Quinté Prix du Languedoc, last month at this track. However, it has five places in the top five in six straights run. Therefore, distrust is essential.

The forecast ZEturf.fr
BIG CALL still has room!
the Ze5-Event of the day in Cagnes, a big handicap for aged horses contested on the 2,400 meters of the sand track.
Big Call gave us the impression of having the margin, not only in Pau, where it was noted, then even more lastly here where it made short work of its rivals. He goes up a tier here, but seems capable of doubling down even if Dragonetwho largely deserves to win his handicap, does all his shopping and will still defend himself very well, just like Bobydargentreturned to the best and lengthened for the circumstance, and Always Welcomeperhaps a little less strong on the sand but which is in impeccable shape.
Saint Nicolas likes this layout a lot and even if it does not have a huge margin, it has its chance for places just like Belgian Prince who almost went to the end on the grass and must try to do as well on this surface. It’s very open afterwards for runners-up at good odds, but georgiaexcellent twice recently, can have a chance while moving up the category, just like Balmoral who should not be condemned on his last attempt. Normandy Beech will be part of our regrets, just like Secret island.
