MATHAYL (3) Resumes after a break of 34 weeks. Got the upper hand late when winning by a nose last time at Baden Baden and showing consistent performance in races. Key player. BLACK PHANTOM (4) Good win by 1 3/4L last run at Baden Baden. Unbeaten this campaign with 2 wins from 2 starts. Does take a while to get into stride. Is in good order and can run well. NEAR RIB (5) Was first to greet the judge when winning by 2 1/4L last time at Dortmund and having second career run. Sure to be thereabouts. PRIMO VIOLETTO (2) Moderate showing when 9th last start at Baden Baden but gets a favourable draw. Has shown early pace in races to date. The large claim from Andrea Ricupa should help. Use betting as a guide and is worth watching.
