Arrival of the fifth:
10 - 6 - 5 - 8 - 14
Disputed on a good soft ground, the quinté of the day was set at the racecourse of Fontainebleau (Seine-et-Marne).
This event pitted fourteen horses aged 4 to 8 years after the withdrawals of
Raysteve
(n° 9) and
Nemba
(n° 16) on the course of 1,200 m in a straight line.
It gave pride of place to prominent horses with the victory of
Be Ahead (
No. 10) at odds of 8.3/1.
Quickly behind the leaders, the resident of François Monfort produced an excellent acceleration in the center of the track while sloping to her right and hampering
Snow Empress a little.
(no. 6), hence the commissioners' investigation, before imposing themselves in a fine manner.
She was associated with Grégory Benoist with whom she won her second big handicap, after that of April 20.
"We had a perfect race," said the jockey at Equidia's microphone.
I was able to get close to the leaders, without making any effort.
I took the advantage easily then she relaxed a little once in front.
She escaped me a little but was courageous until the end.

Also acclaimed by bettors,
Snow Empress
(No. 6) once again performed remarkably well.
Winner of a test of this kind in March on the course concerned, she thus repeated despite her three kilos of overload, without being very happy to finish.
Third,
Datthirey
(n°5) made a promising start in this category.
Forza Capitano
(n° 8) shows that he has returned to the best of his form and his competitiveness in this kind of confrontations.
Patiently ridden, it finished very well to claim fourth place ahead of
Marie's Picnic
(No. 14), which completes the finish.
Halim Bouakkaz indicated the quartet in disorder in eight horses.
