Nantes Race 1 - L'Ile Feydeau Claiming Stakes

NEVER COME BACK (3) Tidy effort when 2nd last run at Le Mans on a heavy surface. Jockey Leo Roussel and trainer Christophe Lotoux are a combination worth following. One of the better chances. KING MOTIF (1) First up and secured a close victory first up last preparation at Pornichet. Expected to settle towards the tail. Rates well in this race. MEDITERRANEA BLUES (2) Tidy run when 3rd last start at Deauville and will appreciate a good stall. Genuine winning chance. TWIRLING (5) Disappointing outing when 14th last run at Le Mans but racing over a longer distance. Won't be far away during the run. Large claim helps. Open to improvement and has a show in this field.

Racing well recently. Most recently made significant ground from the rear of the field 2nd of 15 at Le Mans on March 4 over 3200m, 1.5 len behind Recoletty with 58.5kg at $8.20. The race before that won by 2.5 len at Machecoul February 10 over 2350m in the wet defeating First Creation carrying 59.5kg at $9. Sure to be right there at the business end.

At the latest run second last of 15 at Le Mans on March 20 over 1950m, slow going 35 len behind Alkidan with 51kg at $17. The run before that 6th of 12 at Fontainebleau on February 28 over 2600m, slow going 7 len behind Odemar carrying 55.5kg at $11. Latest form makes this a pretty tough assignment.
