NEXT MINE (4) is back at the races for the first time since June 4. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last prep over 1600m at this track. Rates highly and should take some beating. NEW EMERALD (1) is having his first run since June 4. Has a strong record when fresh with three wins from four runs, the most recent over 1600m at this track at the start of last prep. Winning chance while fresh. MONTANUS (3) finished seventh last time out over 1600m at Baden Baden, beaten 8 lengths. Has a solid record here including two wins and two minor placings from 10 outings. Right in the contest. VOITTON (8) is near a win after four minor placings in a row, the latest a close third over 1750m at Hannover. Best figures measure up and is sure to run well.
