Koln Race 2 - 1M 1F Stakes
WALERICO (1) took a step forward in resuming with a 1.5L second over 2150m at Lyon-la-Soie. Taken to break his maiden at the third attempt. ELMO (3) performed well in placing 2.75L third in a 1600m conditions event at Munich in November. Expected to play a leading role on his seasonal reappearance. SPEZIALIST (5) recorded an 8L fifth in the 1600m G3 Preis des Winterfavoriten at this venue in October. Strong claims dropping in grade on his first start of the year. SEE ARES (4) showed promising in debuting with a 13L third contesting a small field 1500m conditions race at Dresden in December. Of note in this event.
