Koln Race 5 - 1m 4f Stakes
GOLIATH (2) came home 11L fifth in the 2414m G1 King George VI And Queen Elizabeth Stakes at Ascot. Selected to return from a short break with a win.

HOCHKONIG (3) rates highly despite disappointing, finishing only ninth in the 2400m G1 Westminster 136. Grosser Preis Von Berlin at Hoppegarten.

Has won previously first-up and resumes here after a break of nine weeks. Finished off last campaign fifth of 9 at Ascot in the G1 King George VI & Queen Elizabeth Stakes July 25 over 2414m, 11 len behind Kalpana with 61kg at $13. Previous preparation first-up won by 2 len Chantilly G2 Grand Prix De Chantilly May 31 over 2400m defeating Oracle carrying 57kg at $2.60. Could prove too smart for these.

At the latest run 6th of 9 in the G2 T Von Zastrow Stutenpreis at Baden Baden on September 5 over 2400m, 2.25 len behind Santagada carrying 56kg at $9.70. The start before that 3rd of 15 in the G1 Preis der Diana at Dusseldorf on August 2 over 2200m, 6 len behind Soreanga carrying 58kg at $33.80. Can improve on that reasonable effort last time out.
