Strong tempo expected from Koln Concert, Dagr Force and Jun Firenze. ERNANI (8) has returned in good shape this preparation. Opened with a third at this track two starts back then landed the prize by 1.5 lengths as public elect last time out over 1700m at this track. Finds a tougher race but he has the ability to test this field. DAGR FORCE (2) is a distance specialist who turned in a decent effort last start to finish second over 1700m at this track. It doesn't get any easier but on his best form he is capable of a big performance. EIGHT WAN (3) ran above expectations and got up for third at his latest appearance at this track over 1400m. Form this track is hard to knock with five wins from 14 starts. Winning claims on best figures. WETZLAR (5) was a winner over 1500m at this track last time out, dropping out early before coming home with a powerful run to score by a neck. Will be doing his best work late.
