Gaspar d`Angis ahead of `GNT` triple

Saint-Brieuc, Wednesday 26 April: The fourth leg of the provincial Grand National du Trot (1st race/13.50 h/90,000 euros/3150 m) stops in Saint-Brieuc today. Two weeks after the last stage in Lyon, Gaspar d`Angis (Eric Raffin) is aiming for his third success in a row after also coming out on top in Marseille.

The Badouin protégé, burdened this time with a simple allowance, has to get around Formi (Anthony Barrier) and Glamour Queen (Jean-Philippe Dubois), who fought out a `D` race among themselves twelve days ago in Vincennes and stand a tape more favourably. Fifth-placed Gamin Jaba (Nicolas Bazire) and the immensely in-form Horace du Goutier (Hugues Monthule) and Guiness d`Herfraie (David Thomain), who has had a strong winter meeting, also meet it favourably from the front. Doux Parfum (Franck Nivard) and Hip Hop Haufor (Christian Bigeon), fourth in the Prix d`Amérique, are to be noted for class.
