ALBERTINA (5) progressed nicely last time out to finish just one length from the winner in second over 2000m at Hannover. Steps up a level but she is up to the task. AYRES (1) is a nine-start maiden who has been in the money six times, Could only manage eighth last time out over 2400m at Munich. Yet to miss the top-three in two runs at this venue. Among the top chances. ROLEXXA (8) dropped out from the rails draw before closing late to finish fourth over 2400m at Lyon-la-Soie last start. Should prove tough to hold out. ZAPFENSTREICH (4) finished 20 lengths from the winner in 12th at his most recent appearance over 1800m at this track. Rates highly in this field and can turn things around.
