Machecoul Race 7 - Noel Thomson Hurdle
Showcasing filly PRINCESSE MANDEL (6) demonstrated ability in placing in the top three four times on the flat including in finishing 3.5L second over 2100m at Pornichet on her penultimate start. Taken to debut over hurdles with a victory. Unraced Hot Streak filly DANA STREAM (7) represents a top stable. Expected to play a leading role on her first start. Fellow newcomer WONDER MELODY (8) is a daughter of Non Rien de Rien who enters calculations racing in a hood and a tongue tie. Irish-bred stablemate JUST GEORGE (3) is a son of Sholkohov. Notable contender with a tongue tie applied for his first appearance.

Second-up today. First-up after two months finished fifth of 12 starters at this track on February 10 over 3500m, on a wet track; 46 len behind Corscia Bella with 64kg at $44. Previously second-up finished seventh of 8 starters at Angers on November 22 over 3700m, on slow going 28 len behind Malessia with 64kg. Unlikely to be contesting the finish here.

At debut, settled back and ran on when finished eighth of 16 starters at Durtal on February 1 over 2300m, on rain affected going; 12 len behind Manahata with 64kg. Can't see him doing better than fresh performance.

Four-year-old filly by Non Rien De Rien out of Linda's Melody has taken a long time to make it to the track. Having her first start today. Respect any move in betting leading into this race day debut.
