VINTAGE LOVE (2) is usually thereabouts but finds it hard to win, with only one victory from 25 starts. Was again denied last start when she found a couple better over 1700m at Krefeld. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run. ASCRILLO (7) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1350m at Halle, beaten 41 lengths. Meeting a tougher field but with added fitness he is right in contention. TEX AIR (1) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 8 lengths when 11th over 1600m at Munich a week-and-a-half ago. Meets a stronger field but he is worth another chance. COMPULSIVE (8) is racing well including a last start sixth over 2000m at Mulheim. Cannot be ruled out.
