ADAR (1) was expected to do more last start when out of the placings over 1750m at Quakenbruck, beaten 7 lengths. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. WALENCIA (2) has been out of the placings in two runs since a break, the latest when sixth, beaten 2.25 lengths, over 1600m at Hannover. Cherry-ripe now and shapes as a leading player. BOCCA DI LUPO (5) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 4.5 lengths when eighth in a 1400m contest at Baden Baden five-and-a-half weeks ago. Has the class to put the recent run of form behind him. NUCATI (9) missed the placings two runs back then did well last start but found one better over 1850m at Cologne, beaten only a head. Nicely placed to feature in the finish.
