Dynasty Peji a serial winner in the Prix Auguste Francois?

Paris-Vincennes, Wednesday, 14 December: Today`s event on the Plateau de Gravelle goes over with eight races. Once again, the older saddle trotters take centre stage. In the Prix Auguste Francois (6th race/16.50 h/90,000 Euro/2175 m) nine horses will start.

Dynasty Peji (Damien Bonne), who won two Group 2 races within a short period of time, can undoubtedly be described as a shooting star in the Monté business. In the Prix Reynolds, he defeated the higher rated Chalimar de Guez (Jean-Yann Ricard) over the distance required today and also showed his great class over a longer distance in the Prix Paul Buquet. In addition to the aforementioned Chalimar de Guez, his opponents include Florida Sport (Matthieu Mottier), who enters with frighteningly weak form. Last year`s victory over Freeman de Houelle (Eric Raffin), who later won the Prix de I`Ile de France (Group 1), speaks in his favour. The latter is currently in a crisis of form. He last won the Prix Paul Delanoe (Group 3) in June against Chalimar de Guez. Jerry Mom (David Thomain) is trying again under the saddle and should not be missing in any consideration due to his class.
