Arrival of the quinté: 9 - 14 - 10 - 13 - 15 Non runner: 12 ( Miss Feya )
After Miss Feya's forfeit (n ° 12), fifteen 3-year-old fillies were at the start of the first quinté of the week, contested on the 2,200 m course at the Clairefontaine racecourse (Calvados).
Often contested at a selective pace, big handicaps sometimes turn out to be tactical races. And, in this game, the jockey Vincent Cheminaud showed his know-how. Taking advantage of his good string number (6), he quickly installed Episodia (n ° 9) in command before printing a moderate pace. While the peloton was still very tight in the final turn, Episodia placed a frank acceleration at the exit of it. The few steps ahead taken at this point of the course allowed him to live on his lead.
Coming from behind in a low-selection event is never easy. This is why Manne's first runner-up (n ° 14) deserves consideration. Pointed to the last row at the entrance to the straight line, Anthony Crastus' partner filled a lot of ground to finish.
She is ahead of Silver Cristal (n ° 10), also to be credited with a good final effort, and Volynka (n ° 13), still just as consistent. The winning combination is completed by Gladys Senora (# 15).

Very whispered and ultimately favorite, Summer Drive (n ° 8) was a big disappointment. Patient halfway through the peloton, she tried, unsuccessfully, to progress inside in the straight line. Another prominent filly, Sea Watch (n ° 1) has never given hope to its takers.
