Cholet Race 2

Chataigniers Hurdle

Prize Money: $31,148

HAPPYMINI (5) debuted with a promising head second in a 2900m flat race at Royan. Taken to go one better on her first appearance over hurdles. Kapgarde filly NAUSICAA KARWIN (8) is out of a mare who won over both hurdles and fences. Major threat for a stable who get their share of winning debutants. Lucky Team gelding LUCKY TWENTY (1) performed well in debuting over hurdles with a 1L third contesting a 3500m event at Nantes. Must be considered. Great Pretender filly VOLAGE DE ROCHE (9) is out of a mare who won in Listed company over hurdles. Warrants close consideration making her debut for a top stable.

Was at very long odds at debut, finished fifth of 14 runners at Dieppe on April 30 over 3200m, slow track; 3 len behind Kentucky D'alco carrying 67kg at $52. Can improve on first race start performance. Should feature with repeat of the latest effort.

Is second-up today and making a debut in a jumps race. Last start held ground to the line finished second of 9 starters at Royan La Palmyre on May 8 over 2900m, a head behind Leeloo Du Mazet carrying 59.5kg. Can improve on first up performance. Sure to improve and can get off the mark.

Jumped at big odds at debut, finished eighth of 11 starters at Compiegne on May 4 over 3200m, slow track; 32 len behind Valdorina with 66kg at $41. May need more time and happy to wait until she shows more.

Second-up finished sixth of 9 starters at Royan La Palmyre on May 8 over 2900m, 3.5 len behind Leeloo Du Mazet carrying 59.5kg. Will be tested. Will need to improve sharply.
