Vire Race 2 - Prix Le Restaurant - Vire Normandie - Attele
A qualifier at Caen in June last year NUEVO (4) has been off the track since debuting with a 1L success on grass at Le Sap during August. Selected to return to action with a victory. NIOSCO DE PHYT'S (10) left a Montlucon DQ behind securing a victory at Villedieu. Expected to register another big effort. NYANGA (8) made the perfect start to his career seeing off a subsequent winner to score by 2.75L at Argentan in January. Rates highly racing in a new shoeing combination. Boccador de Simm colt NARCOTIC THRUST (9) came home 5L third contesting a Class F event at Challans. Warrants close consideration.

Last start disqualified at Laval on April 29 over 2850m. Two runs back 4th over 2650m at Alencon, beaten 35m by Narvik Du Bessin in 3yo colts and gelding race on April 19. Would rather see in something easier.
