QUENTINA (7) was in the placings last time over 2500m at Mannheim, finishing third and beaten 2.25 lengths. Should be prominent despite the awkward gate. Will prove tough to beat. ICON (3) is back after a break of ten months. At the last run before the layoff he finished 12th over 2400m at Dortmund. Good chance to break through. AKBAR (1) returns after six months in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a eighth over 1600m at this track. Among the chances while fresh. POWER OF LIPS (5) has not raced since his debut on June 9 over 2200m at Hoppegarten when he finished ninth, beaten 12 lengths. Top-three chance with that run under his belt.
