AGAINST ALL ODDS (6) finished second, beaten one length, when resuming from a spell last start over 1400m at Krefeld. Nicely placed to go one better. FLAVIA MAXIMA (8) finished 7 lengths from the winner in fourth last start over 1400m at Hannover, an improvement on her seventh on debut at Dusseldorf the run before. Likely improver with strong prospects. CHAVA (7) is back after a break of seven months. At the last run before the layoff she finished fifth over 1400m in Listed grade at Hannover. Rates highly on best figures and should be right in this. WARREN HILL (5) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1750m at Halle, beaten 4 lengths into fourth. Well placed and can figure in the finish this time.
