Nantes Race 5

Claude Rouget Hurdle

Prize Money: $31,509

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.

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.
