1

Miela

Mainly runs in France and rare German start off heavy weight. Tough.

2

Donna Helma

Won handicap over roughly similar trip latest, top apprentice booked. Trip should suit. Has improved for hold-up tactics.

3

Lexi’s Dream

Needs soft ground to be at her best, but stable in good form.

4

Alexa’s Princess

Finished behind Donna Helma on German debut, but meets her on much better terms, so improved chances.

5

You’ve Got Sail

Won over this trip in France in May. Has had a break since June but has a top jockey booked.

6

Grey Sparkle

Has finished behind Donna Helma, and better off at weights now. Not beaten far in better company latest, capable performer.

7

Partita

Only one run this term, and has never won off similar mark. A course and distance winner here though, albeit in 2021.

8

Wahiba Sands

Only two runs this season and has not won for a while. Stable jockey on board but needs to improve.

9

Espero

Lightly raced but in good form and only just beaten in close finish last time.

10

Sommerblitz

Usually runs in France but got the better of Espero in a German start latest.

11

Direct Hit

Showed good form in Bad-Harzburg but no show here last week. A top apprentice booked which is interesting.

12

Miami Heat

English import and trained in the Netherlands. No chance on German debut but should improve for that run.

13

Lex Luthor

Showed good form in Bad-Harzburg twice, but also finished behind Direct Hit twice recently.

14

Ready to Rumble

Dutch trainer willing to take a kilo overweight for top German jockey Andrasch Starke who rode him for a place last time. Best form on soft though.

15

Emirate’s Flight

Won here in October 2023, but no form at this level so far.

16

Score

Martin Seidl booked again and is really knocking on the door after pleasing in last three runs. Possibilities.

17

Floating Voter

A Dutch raider, imported from the UK with one German run to date. A one-time winner after eight starts but in here off a low weight.

18

Nerian

Stable going well and top lightweight jockey booked but improvement needed as best form is on minor tracks.
