Hyeres Race 2 - Prix De Toulon Metropole Var Handball - Attele
NOTRE DAME (6) Got the upper hand late when winning last time at Marseilles and was a debutant last start. Driver Romain Derieux is a bonus. Expected to fight out the finish. NEW YORK YANKEES (7) Towards the tail last time at Marseilles. Expecting improvement and demonstrating upward trajectory in recent races. David Bekaert and Jan F Van Dooyeweerd deserve serious attention when combined. Worth consideration. NIKITA GALAA (4) Initial race appearance for Benjamin Goetz. R Bouvier is an advantage. Watch the betting. NASHAAB (8) Resumes from a spell. Nice run when 2nd last run at Argentan and showing consistent performance in races. Rising in trip. In the mix.

Was $12.00 and came in 4th last start at this venue. Have to respect the recent Sté Ent Christophe Martens form. Christophe Martens adds value. Needs to find a lot more.

Was fighting out the finish when winning last time at Marseilles and was on debut last time. Driver Romain Derieux is a strong choice aboard. Major player who should go very close.

Towards the rear last time at Marseilles. Expecting improvement and getting better in recent performances. David Bekaert and Jan F Van Dooyeweerd must be respected together. Good enough chance at a very tempting price.

Racing fresh after a break. Came in 2nd last run at Argentan and honest performer putting a tidy record together. Facing an increased distance. Strong contender.

Odds of $34.00 and appeared lacklustre when 6th last start at Cagnes Sur Mer. Can surprise at a nice price.
