ELMOS FIRE (1) is progressing nicely and wasn't too far away last time when third over 2000m at Baden Baden. Should be prominent from the outset. Expecting a bold showing. LAUNCHING PERCY (3) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest coming when third over 2400m at Baden Baden. Finds an easier assignment and can take the next step and salute. RUSSIAN SOCHI (2) resumed over 1600m and turned in a fair run to finish sixth at Baden Baden. Appears suited by the extra journey this time and gets chance to show best. GOLDIS (5) is a two-start maiden who returned last time and finished fourth at Baden Baden over 2400m, beaten 1.5 lengths. Will derive great benefit from that outing and deserves consideration.
