Koln Race 4

1m Stakes

Prize Money: $252,443

WESTERN (6) was an impressive 1.25L debut winner over 1400m at Munich in July with a Group-level placegetter in behind and has been kept fresh for this target. Leading contender. LAVERAN (3) won his 1600m debut at Munich by 2.75L before finishing second in Listed company at Hannover last month. Main danger. TANGO DANCER (4) won at Hamburg before chasing home the principal selection at Munich and later finished third in the 1400m G3 Zukunfts-Rennen at Baden-Baden. Proven at this level. TAYLOR MADE (5) was only a head behind the latter when fourth in that G3 after earlier finishing third in a Cologne auction race. Strong place claims. Not discounted. -
