ZAFIRELLI (1) closed last prep five months ago when he finished second over 1600m at Munich. Ticks all the right boxes. ZAUBERKONIG (2) resumes from a spell of seven months. Looked close to a win before that break, finishing off with a minor placing over 1600m at Listed level at Hannover. Has ability and is a solid chance. ABANDO (3) is a three-year-old colt by Adlerflug out of Amalie stepping out on debut for the Waldemar Hickst stable. Can measure up. Betting crucial. POGI (5) is facing the starter for the first time. By Protectionist and is out of the Andreas Wohler stable. Pay to watch for any positive betting moves.
