Toulouse Race 5 - Boulingrin Hcp
NATORSPEED ESSEF (5) impressed securing a 3L victory in a 2400m conditions event at Compiegne. Selected to make a winning handicap debut. Fellow handicap debutant VALTRADA (4) looks capable of playing a role following a 2L triumph competing over 2100m among claiming company at Dax. AU DELA DES MERS (2) impressed running 3L clear of his nearest rival attempting 2000m at La Teste. Must be considered despite racing off a 3kg higher mark in this event. HELLO LOUIS (3) lost out by 2L recording a fourth place finish trying 1500m at Tarbes on his turf debut. One to note raised markedly in distance making handicap debut.
