KIZIL (1) has recorded two minor placings from three runs this campaign. Continued the trend last time out when third over 1750m at Halle. It doesn't get any easier but on his best form he is one of the key runners. NAUPLIA (4) could only manage eighth on debut then improved last start but found one better over 1600m at Hannover, beaten 2 lengths. Finds a tougher race but this looks well within her grasp. MABEAUX (2) did a fair job on debut last time out, finishing 6 lengths from the winner in fifth over 1600m at Hannover. Likely improver who is among the better chances. NURITO (3) finished out of the money on debut two starts back then was beaten 10 lengths when fifth over 2200m at Hannover a week ago. Finds a tougher race but he has the talent to test this line-up.
