GOING:

BADEN-BADEN CUP 2000m

Track:      

Should be a strong tempo with plenty of speed engaged. MAGLIA IRIDATA (4) scored by 1.75 lengths last start at Niigata over this distance to make it two wins from as many appearances this time in work. Upwardly mobile filly who looks to have a fair bit on this field. FIORE STRADA (8) showed good early pace over 2000m at Kyoto last time and kept going to score by 0.8 lengths. Meets some better types this time but she has the talent to be competitive. RI THIR CHONAILL (7) disappointed at his last run ten weeks ago when seventh at Nakayama, that effort following back-to-back wins. Bold showing expected. HONEYCOMB (3) was on the speed from the rails draw last start and battled on well to finish second over 2000m at Kyoto. Nicely placed to play a major role.
