Marseille Vivaux Race 7 - Prix Du Clos Simonette - Attele
NORMAND VILLETOT (3) demonstrated improvement securing a 0.75L victory racing off a 25m handicap contesting a lower graded event at Marseille-Borely. Selected to complete a double. NOVELTY (6) placed both starts since returning from a break including when recording a 0.75L second at Hyeres. Leading contender racing in a new shoeing combination. Express Jet filly NATALIA JAMES (7) rates a big threat following a 3.5L third competing in the previously mentioned Hyeres race. NIGHT OF CARLESS (8) returned from a break managing a 15L fifth at Hyeres. Step forward expected with a change of shoeing combination. Something for the Multiples: NELSON D'HERMES (1)

Two back was beaten by 7.6m finishing third behind Nouveau Prodige at Cavaillon over 2600m in a 3yo handicap on September 18 at $7.50. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2.6m finishing second behind Nazzareno at Hyeres over 2850m in a 3yo B handicap on October 9 at $4.90. Definite winning chance.

Didn't do much at the last run, 5th (25m) over 2950m at Toulouse, well beaten by Nouba D'atout in 3yo handicap on September 18 at $55. Before that disqualified at Vichy on August 25 over 2950m. Happy enough to dismiss.
