NERO IMPERATOR (4) returned from a spell last start with a strong win by half a length over 1200m at Magdeburg. Open to plenty of improvement and happy to have him on top. TRACK RECORD (1) has been about the money with two minor placings from three starts this campaign, the latest a solid second over 1200m at Magdeburg. Should be prominent from the low draw. Best form puts her right in this. OLGA GOLD (9) is finding the breakthrough elusive, beaten 3 lengths into fifth at her latest appearance over 1400m at Hoppegarten. Drawn to go forward. One of the main contenders. AUENFEUER (3) is a 14-start maiden who finished fourth, beaten 4.5 lengths, when resuming from a spell last start over 1300m at Magdeburg. Definite top-three hope with plenty of improvement to come.
