ASTER (1) ran well despite being friendless in betting when resuming last time over 2200m at this track, finishing second and beaten half a length at $20.30. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. Likely to feature. TRAMINA (5) turned in a modest performance when second last time out over 2000m at Baden Baden, beaten 6 lengths. That followed a win at this track at the previous outing. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. EARLY SPIRIT (2) finished third last time over 2200m at this track, beaten 1.75 lengths. Worth noting Leon Wolff goes aboard. Has the class to take care of this field. DE LA LUNA (3) hasn't made an impression since resuming despite market confidence. Last start could only manage sixth over 2400m at Baden Baden. Top-three prospects.
