Laval Race 7 - Prix Handicheval Mayenne - Monte
MINERVE DE VANDEL (8) Failed to threaten last run at the track. May see an upturn in form. Eric Raffin is a crucial engagement. Should go close. MY LORD DE L'AUMOY (10) Looked good when 3rd last start at Cordemais and fitter for debut run. Among better hopes. MAKAO DAIRPET (12) Narrowly clinched the victory last time at Graignes. Expect to go close. MERCENAIRE D'ECHAL (11) Fresh from a spell of 28 weeks. Failed to threaten last start at Vincennes but having second career run. Winning hope.
