ANIMAL MAGNETISM (6) missed the placings when resuming two runs back then didn't feature last start when 36 lengths away in seventh over 2200m at Dusseldorf. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. ASH (4) recorded a gutsy maiden victory last time out over 2000m at Most, scoring by 0.8 lengths. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Looks well placed and he is a solid top-three hope. HEATHERDOWN (5) ran below expectations last time at Munich, finishing seventh and beaten 14 lengths starting at $8.40. Has the talent to find the winners' list. SAPRISTI (2) finished eighth over 2200m at Cologne at her most recent appearance on October 13. Looks one of the genuine hopes in the race.
