Nantes Race 7 - Prix Courant D'air Stakes
The only previous winner in the field NOGA STAR (1) followed up a debut success at Le Lion-d'Angers with a 1L second to a subsequent winner in the 2400m G3 Prix Association des AQPS at Craon. Taken to return to winning ways. NOEL DES OBEAUX (2) lost out by 1.5L in placing second contesting a 2300m event at Le Mans. Expected to deliver a big effort. NILS GEORGES ALLEN (3) recorded a 2.5L third in a 2500m event at Argentan on his first start. Strong claims of breaking through for his first win. NIKA LOVE (5) debuted with a 4.5L fifth competing over 2300m at Angers. Of note with improvement expected.

At debut, came home strongly from last on the turn; 2nd of 7 at Le Mans on September 11 over 2300m, slow going 1.5 len behind Neuf Fois Sur Dix with 63.5kg at $17.20. Will derive great benefit from that hit-out and looks a solid top three chance again.
