Vichy Race 5 - Prix Antoine De Vazelhes Stakes - Group 3
NOELAND (5) lost out by a head debuting with a runner-up finish in a 2400m event at Le Lion-d'Angers. Taken to go one better and secure a first triumph. NAME CASTLE (4) demonstrated improvement when delivering a 1L second racing from the front over course and distance. Warrants thought as expected to challenge for the win. NOPAIN NOGAIN THOM (2) lost out by 2L registering a fourth place finish in the previously mentioned track and trip event. Must be considered. NECTAR VERGOIGNAN (1) recorded his best effort in three starts to date placing 1L third trying 2400m at this circuit. Worth giving close consideration.
