Sunday, Dortmund, Germany, post time: 14:55, 36TH GROSSER PREIS DER WIRTSCHAFT-G3, €55,000, 3yo/up, 9fT
Field: Petit Marin (Ger) (Flamingo Fantasy {Ger}), Best Lightning (Fr) (Sidestep {Aus}), Merkur (Fr) (Kingman {GB}), Muhalif (Ger) (Lawman {Fr}), New Emerald (Ger) (Protectionist {Ger}), Calyx Rose (Ire) (Calyx {GB}), New York City (Ger) (Sea The Moon {Ger}), Zora (Fr) (Toronado {Ire}), Next Mine (Ger) (Dabirsim {Fr}).
TDN Verdict: Best Lightning, who won this heat in 2023 and ran third last year, is one of two entries from the Andreas Suborics stable and the 2021 G2 German 2000 Guineas third gets an opportunity of adding to his three prior pattern-race victories in this prime example of an open renewal. Old foe Petit Marin, third here in 2023, is on a roll and heads postward off successes in October's G2 Premio Roma and last month's Listed Koln Cup. Merkur, New Emerald and Muhalif were among the vanquished in the latter contest, while Calyx Rose defeated Zora by a nose over course and distance in last month's Listed Grosser Preis der Sparkasse Dortmund. Next Mine, who is the only sophomore on parade, has run third in both Group 3 outings this season and last term's G1 Preis der Diana fourth New York City makes her first appearance since August.
