Dieppe Race 1 - Franc Picard Hurdle
NANJAYA (8) performed well debuting with a 1.25L second contesting a 3200m newcomers event at this circuit. Selected to break her maiden at the second attempt. NIRVANA DELABRUNIE (2) demonstrated improvement placing 1.5L second to a subsequent winner when racing prominently over 3400m at La Teste on his second start. Expected to play a leading role. A stablemate of the top pick NEWAIN (3) came home 1.25L clear of his nearest rival trying 3500m at Royan. Strong prospects. NINETY ROSES (9) faded late running 10L fourth in a 2350m event at Le Pin-au-Haras making her racecourse debut. One to note switching to hurdles.

Raced two times to date. At debut, finished eighth of 10 starters at Nantes on April 14 over 3500m, on slow going 14 len behind Bandetobealive carrying 67kg at $12. Last start came from midfield and won by 1.3 len Royan La Palmyre on May 8 over 3500m defeating Lilajo with 66kg in a hurdle. Can strike back here. Well-placed to continue his winning ways.

Was well in the market at debut, eased back early on finished sixth of 11 starters at Compiegne on May 4 over 3200m, slow track; 12 len behind Roi Danaos carrying 66kg at $4.50. Well in the market on debut but ran below expectations. Leading hope with improvement to come.

At only start last preparation made ground from midfield; ran last at Nottingham on October 23 over 1678m, in the wet; 49 len behind Oratorical carrying 60.5kg at $15. Fitter but prefer to see a return to form.
