2m 3f Stakes

Prize Money: -

URUGANO (5) Was competitive when 3rd last run at Bad Harzburg. Recent form of the stable is strong. One of the major players. ALLIED POWERS (2) Failed to threaten last run at the track. Capable of bouncing back and demonstrating upward trajectory in recent races. Producing consistent results since returning from a spell. Cannot underestimate. LOCKBATAN THOM (4) Looked good when 2nd last run at this venue and will try to take advantage of the draw. Expecting to settle positively. Been in the placegetters each attempt this campaign. Include in chances. MENSCH (1) Tidy effort when 2nd last time at this venue. Been in the money 4 from 4 attempts this preparation. Stable is in form. Place makes best appeal.

Towards the rear last run at this track. Capable of bouncing back and getting better in recent performances. Performing impressively since coming back from a spell. Likely to get back. Very tidy performer.

Finished 6th last run at the track but will be aiming for a soft run from the draw. L Neprasova is a strong choice aboard. Looks hopeful.

In the money when 2nd last run at the track and can find a nice position from the draw. Should jump out and bowl along. Gets a reduction in weight. Worth a serious look.
