Xavier Thielens (picture) may have a starter on Thursday, at Vincennes (R-1)and 4 others, on the identical day, at Cagnes-sur-Mer (R-4). Here is what he mentioned to our journalist Stéphane Davy :
“HERE PARIS (204) will be on track at Vincennes. She is a brave and friendly filly. She has a good temper. It’s just a little less comfortable on the left rope. However, the last time in Vincennes, it was conclusive. She works well. She will be “D4” for the primary time. The iron removing ought to assist. Before the kick, we plan to run it hidden and come and end. I believe she will be able to end within the high three.
We may even have starters on the Côte d’Azur. Know that now we have eight horses at the moment in a gathering at Cagnes-sur-Mer. JIJI GOLDY APPLE (110) posted two disqualifications in two races run. But she is healthier than that. Admittedly, she stays a bit sophisticated but it surely has additionally gone badly for her thus far. Know that she reveals skills within the morning. The purpose right here is to make him take his first positive aspects. In my opinion, she will be able to. Also notice that it’s extra snug on the left rope.
IRINA DU RIS (203) had had a reasonably vital break within the second half of 2021, with the intention to change his thoughts. Also, she did some rising. For her comeback race at Cagnes-sur-Mer, at the start of the month, she was at fault within the first nook. She stays nervous and confused. Since then, it has been lightened in its {hardware}. I hope it will bear fruit. We will attempt to reassure ourselves along with her.
CHAHAINS IBIS (311) is an enormous, late horse, lower to age. Above all, he wants to grasp what we count on of him. The profile of Cagnes is made to go well with him. The purpose right here is to make him take positive aspects, this is able to then permit him to have a greater program.
As for GIRL EVEN (812), she raced in claiming final 12 months, however has since shone at the highest stage. His race in Toulouse (notice, third on January 8) testifies to his present good type. She is rather less snug on the left rope however she had taken the windings nicely in Grenade-sur-Garonne earlier than, with out having the most effective course that day. On the opposite hand, it had already arrived at Cagnes previously. It’s a very good race for her. I count on a very good outcome.”
