Arrival of the fifth:
7-3-9-6-2
The day after a prestigious meeting at Longchamp during which he scored twice, Mickaël Barzalona did not make the trip for nothing to Marseille (Bouches-du-Rhône) at the start of the week.
The Avignonnais led to success
Royal Robbins
(No. 7), which won its first straight.
Not always quick at the start, the resident of Jérôme Reynier got off to a good start this time, a sine qua non for making the finish on Monday.
After having waited in the wake of the leaders, he responded perfectly to the requests of his jockey when the latter asked him to accelerate mid-straight to win quite easily at the end of the 2,000m imposed.
“He started well, and I had a clear course, indicated Mickaël Barzalona at the microphone of Equidia.
I was afraid not to come back to the host, but my horse's outfit made the difference in the end.

Quickly in the lead under the saddle of Théo Bachelot,
Billabong Cat
(n°3) was able to lead the race at his own pace.
Even if he couldn't do anything against the winner, he proved to be courageous in resisting
Rocquemont
(n° 9), which is reborn somewhat from its ashes like
Ridwaan
(n° 6), who came to snatch fourth place at
Lingering Dream
(No. 2).
Kévin Romain indicated the trifecta in order in six horses, the quartet and the quinté in disorder in six horses.
