Nantes Race 5 - Claude Rouget Hurdle
COUSIN BLEU (7) 3yo by Montmartre first starter for Dominique Bressou. Watch for a sign in the market. NISSAN DES MOTTES (3) 3yo debutant by Gary Du Chenet for P Peltier & C Peltier. Betting is the best guide. SHOSTAKOVICH (4) Came in 7th last run in a hurdle at Compiegne but having second race start. Francois Nicolle has been training plenty of winners recently. Exotics and place contender. MUSICAL MOON (9) Back from a break. Appeared lacklustre when 6th last run at Le Mans but going up in trip. Exotics chance.

First race starter by Montmartre out of Vicenza Mia purchased for EUR € 20,000 (Tattersalls.ie 2023 November National Hunt Sale). Makes his debut here in what looks a tricky race for him. Nice profile and any positive market lead would have to be respected.

Was at very long odds at debut, ran last at Compiegne on March 2 over 3200m, 38 len behind Rare Et Precieux with 67kg at $89. Will struggle against these without improving sharply.
