Laval Race 3 - Prix Heude Batiment - Monte
MINERVE DE VANDEL (13) comes off a last-start win at Laval over 2849m, which stands out in this field. MOKA VRIE (12) is a key chance after finishing 2nd at Cordemais and 3rd at Cordemais in recent runs. MELODY LUDOISE (14) was 3rd at Vincennes over 2700m two starts back and can be competitive. MY STORY (11) also has claims, having placed 2nd at Saint Malo and 4th at Pornichet last campaign. Minerve De Vandel (13) and Moka Vrie (12) look the leading hopes based on recent form.

Has yet to place in three career starts, most recently finishing unplaced at Laval over 2849m on 28 Mar at $11 behind Minerve De Vandel. Previous runs at Vincennes and La Capelle also saw her finish out of the placings. Four-year-old filly by Ready Cash still searching for a breakthrough. Needs to lift on exposed form but not without hope.
