Dusseldorf Race 3

1M 1/2F Hcap

Stake: $39,643

WIKINGER (1) was safely held when fifth last time out over 1400m at Baden Baden, beaten 3 lengths. That followed a win at this track at the previous outing. Leon Wolff gets the best out of this four-year-old entire. Meeting a tougher field but on his best form he is good enough to take this out. EL RUBIO (6) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 2.75 lengths when ninth in a 1600m contest at Deauville three weeks ago. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. KLAUDIUS (3) finished second last start at the first run back from a spell over 1600m at Baden Baden, beaten 1.5 lengths. Ready to go one better. LIGHTNING JOCK (5) has not won for a long while. Last raced on September 7 when beaten 5 lengths into ninth at Baden Baden over 2200m. Well placed and can fill a top-three spot.
