Nantes Race 6 - De Couffe Hurdle
BEL ATLANTIQUE (6) demonstrated ability delivering a 7.25L fourth in a 3500m newcomers hurdle at Pau during December. Selected to break through for his first win. IDAMIX DE GREZ (9) raced from off the pace prior to running 18L third contesting a 3500m hurdle held on very heavy going at Pau in January. Major threat. GEEKER (3) came home 9.5L sixth over 3700m at Le Lion-d'Angers providing his first attempt. Bold show expected. MIRMILLON (5) finished top three in his first two flat outings. Of note switching to hurdles despite disappointing twice subsequently including a tenth at La Roche-sur-Yon last time.

Last start finished ninth of 15 starters at Dieppe on April 30 over 3400m, slow track; 25 len behind Madison Roque with 66kg at $48. Before that finished ninth of 15 starters at Le Lion-d'angers on April 5 over 3700m, 15 len behind Missile Raffles carrying 66kg at $16. Looks well outclassed again.

Is fourth-up today and making a debut in a jumps race. Last start sat behind the speed prior to fading finished tenth of 14 starters at La-Roche-sur-Yon on April 19 over 2400m, 12 len behind Made In Des Flos carrying 68kg and before that finished 13th of 16 starters at Durtal on March 22 over 2900m, 7 len behind Mississipi carrying 63.5kg. Overlook recent runs he is a definite winning chance. Key chance on best and expected to measure up.

Went for a spell before returning finished fifth of 12 runners at Fontainebleau on March 29 over 3550m, slow track; 7 len behind Stecaster carrying 68kg at $96. Definite chance. Plenty of scope for improvement.

Second run from a spell finished eighth of 15 runners at Le Lion-d'angers on April 5 over 3700m, 12 len behind Missile Raffles carrying 64kg at $74. Has been racing well.
