Black-Type Analysis: Deutsches Derby Credentials Tested at Cologne

Monday, Cologne, Germany, post time: 16:20, SPARKASSE KOLNBONN – 190TH UNION-RENNEN-G2, €70,000, 3yo, 11fT

Field: Abando (Ger) (Adlerflug {Ger}), Amico (Ger) (Camelot {GB}), Enzian (Ger) (Zarak {Fr}), Hochkonig (Ger) (Polish Vulcano {Ger}), Rekabet (Ger) (Ito {Ger}), Sedano (Fr) (Lope De Vega {Ire}), Zuckerhut (Ger) (Almanzor {Fr}).

TDN Verdict: Deutsches Derby dreams either stay alive or die here, with the G3 Bavarian Classic fourth Zuckerhut setting an achievable standard. Eckhard Sauren's Hanover winner Enzian and Stall Grafenberg's clear-cut Lyon-Parilly scorer Sedano appeal as likely types. [Tom Frary].
