2200m – Turf
1 | Murray | Keeps surprising and clearly in good heart at present. New trip needs to bring out more improvement, otherwise vulnerable to better-treated horses. Jockey and trainer famously combined to win the German Derby. |
2 | Black Phantom | Unbeaten this year. Couldn’t be in better form but clear chances despite being on a career-high mark. |
3 | Oak Ivy | Tough mare who had a rare poor run last time. |
4 | Oak Lahoma | The half-brother to Oak Ivy. Coming back in trip is a positive. Each-way possibilities. |
5 | Eau de Cologne | Well beaten last over C&D in recent two starts. Hard to fancy here. |
6 | Tiara Hilleshage | Full sister of mighty Arc winner Torquator Tasso, though much less talented. But not without hope in this company. |
7 | Westminster Eagle | No chance in a Polish race latest, but form of his earlier win couldn’t be worked out much better. In top hands and clear chance. |
8 | Koffi Vulcano | Consistent sort who is creeping up the weights. Needs to bounce back from a rare bad run. Stable out of form lately. |
9 | Asmira | Made a mockery of her odds when winning her latest start. Handicap mark seems fair but comes up against older horses with good form. |
10 | Lorella | Filly whose handicap debut resulted in emphatic win. This is tougher. |
11 | Manon des Bois | A winner last year, but weaker runs since. Needs to improve on underwhelming seasonal debut and stable jockey rides Koffi Vulcano. |
12 | Margherita Luti | Has won over C&D but needs to leave underwhelming seasonal debut behind. |
13 | Zakaria | Fair form at this track three runs ago, and could run well at decent odds. |
