Munich Race 8

6 1/2f Stakes

Prize Money: -

RUE MICHEL ANGE (7) Ran 4th last run at Dresden. Can show a better performance this time and gets a favourable draw. Jockey Sibylle Vogt riding for trainer Sarah Steinberg command respect. Can have an impact. SONIC BOOM (6) Disappointing display when 5th last time at Dortmund. Happy to overlook that run but down in trip. Bauyrzhan Murzabayev has a good track record with the Peter Schiergen stable. Must respect in this event. ALABAMA MOON (2) Strong performance to win by 2 1/2L last start at Longchamp. Won last 2 in a row. Likely to get back in the field. Looks to be value. BACKES (1) Lacklustre showing when 9th last start at Cologne but has the ideal draw. Not out of this.

Winner by 2 1/2L last start at Longchamp. Unbeaten last 2 attempts. Does take a while to get into stride. Price in this race is tempting to get involved.

On a quick back up. Jumped at $17.00 and below expectations when 7th last run at Hoppegarten but back to more ground. Likely to be well placed early. Prefer in an easier race.

At $6.00 was nothing special when 5th last time at Dortmund. Happy to overlook that run but back to a shorter distance. Up in weight. Definite claims for punters.

Started $6.50 and came in 4th last run at Dresden. Can show a better performance this time and promising career start. Will try to take advantage of the draw. Worth a lot of thought in this race.
