The prognosis Canalturf.com
Quinté+ on Sunday at Vincennes in the Prix de Lille, a level A European harness race, over 2,100 meters on the big track, autostarting, for 6 to 11 year olds inclusive, having won at least €160,000, but not €505,000 . THIN HILL (our photo) has the size to win.
7 THIN HILL : In the Quinté+ of Group III level of December 18, over 2850 meters on a wide track, it had won the race when it took off 200 meters from the post. On this course, which has already succeeded for her and where she has a record of 1’10″5, this good mare from the training of Matthew Abrivard finds a great opportunity to redeem himself.
9 URZY’S FAIRPLAY : He is the richest of the lot and he finds here an ideal commitment to the earnings ceiling. He was certainly well prepared by Jean-Michel Bazire. If he provides his best value, his place is in the top three. As he remains on a series of poor performances, it will be all or nothing.
4 BEPI BI : A quality Italian trotter, he won a Group II on May 28 at Solvalla, over 1640 metres. He has only come to Vincennes once and finished eighth, on December 26, 2021, in the Prix d’Amérique Races Zeturf Q3. Given its potential, it looks formidable in this level A race.
8 SWEET SCENT : After a victory in a Group III on November 12, over 2850 meters long track, it finished second in the Quinté+ of level B on December 25 and second on December 30 in amateurs, over 2850 meters long track, while he had to go 50 yards. He had won the 2100 meters of the big track in June 2021 by trotting on the foot of 1’11 “6. Given his form, he deserves credit, especially since he has Eric Raffin as a pilot.
2 ELITE OF JIEL : Fourth in the Level A Quinté+ of November 21 at Vincennes, then third in the Level A Quinté+ of December 8 and third in the Level B Quinté+ of December 25, it is still in a position to obtain a good ranking in this event.
11 MARCELLO WIBB : Eighth in a Quinté+ of level III on 18 December over 2850 meters long track, it had previously finished fourth in a Quinté+ of level A on 8 December over 2100 meters long track and third in a Quinté+ of level A November 21 on 2700 meters long track. At the end of a good trip, it can take up a place.
1 DEXTER CHATHO : This good horse from the training of Christian Bigeon is in renewed form as evidenced by its fifth place on 8 December in a level A Quinté+ at the course which interests us. He’s a worthy underdog.
16 EQUINOX : He had shone several times during the Vincennes 2021-2022 winter meeting. Although eighth, it did not run so badly during its last two outings, in Quinté+ of level B and A. Very good finisher, it can grab a fourth or fifth place after a smooth running of the race.
In case of non-starter : 15 BARBRO KRONOS

A nice program is offered to us this Sunday, January 8th at the Paris-Vincennes racecourse with three Group IIs, including the Prix du Calvados, on the menu, but also the Prix de Lille (race A), support for Quinté+. This event open to “Europeans” and contested on the 2,100 meters of the main track (autostart) brought together sixteen quality aged trotters, who did not win 505,000 euros in earnings. At ease on this course, since she has three victories and a second place in five outings, Thin Hill (7) will be our favorite. Matthieu Abrivard’s protege had not missed her first goal of the meeting by winning the Prix de Montignac-Charente on November 21, before finishing a good sixth in the GNT Final, when she had to return twenty-five meters. Finally, in the Prix Jean Dumouch, she seemed to be on her way to glory at the time of her fault. The Village Mystic girl finds a great opportunity to rehabilitate here. Winner of the Sweden Cup at Solvalla in the spring, the Italian Bepi Bi (4) promises to be formidable, he who finished eighth in the Critérium Continental 2021 for his only attempt in France. Winner of two of the last three editions thanks to Dorgos de Guez (2020) and Feydeau Seven (2022), Jean-Michel Bazire will once again try to distinguish himself with Urzy Fairplay (9). Although reassuring and not spoiled by the draw, the representative of the Ecurie Maréchal must be kept in good standing, as Usain Toll (10)who did very well at Vincennes last winter, notably winning the Prix Jean-René Gougeon. Jiel Elite (2) and Marcello Wibb (11) are competitive for an accessit, with the help of a good course. Free Man (12)after a re-entry, and Sweet Scent (8)at best, will complete our choice.
