The weather looks perfect for this weekend\u2019s big race at the Berlin Hippodrome in Germany.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>A disappointing field of only six fillies have turned out for the main event over 10 furlongs on turf \u2013 The $250,000 Grade II Dollplayer Price Stakes.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Racecourse manager Klaus Schmidt asked me \u201cVot do I have to do to attract more horses to my track – sing?\u201d.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>I\u2019m not sure if that will help, but here\u2019s a look at the field for this good-looking race.<\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

#1 – Lone Gunman<\/STRONG> (5YO – Fantastic Light x Alzao x Crusader Sword) trained by FOXON4<\/EM> is the 7\/2 second favorite.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>This good-looking horse is the top money winner in the race with over $900K in winnings from 41 starts.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Lone Gunman won this event last year and has a good chance of winning again, although she hasn\u2019t run in graded company for almost 12 months.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Lone Gunman has been running well in Stakes Company with four wins and three seconds in her last eight starts.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She should be capable of being right there at the finish of this race.<\/P>

#2 \u2013 Going Long Again<\/STRONG> (6YO \u2013 Lear Fan x Icecapade x Cox\u2019s Ridge) is trained by WAGKOMBI<\/EM> and is 5\/1 in the morning line.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>This daughter of Lear Fan has earned over $500K in her career, but hasn\u2019t won since week 2370.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She is a nice horse but will probably find at least two horses ahead of her when she crosses the line.<\/P>

#3 \u2013 Earth Angel<\/STRONG> (3YO \u2013 Coronado\u2019s Quest x Doyoun(IRE) x Northfields) is tackling older horses for the first time and it looks as if trainer STRATEGY8<\/EM> has set the bar too high this time around.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>At 57\/1 this one will be hard pressed to compete here and will be lucky to avoid last place.<\/P>

#4 \u2013 Raw Courage<\/STRONG>(IRE) \u2013 (4YO \u2013 Sinndar(IRE) x Troy(GB) x Caro(IRE) is another horse that looks out of her depth here.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>With one win in 24 starts this 62\/1 stable mate of Earth Angel will be a long way back as the winners cross the line.<\/P>

#5 \u2013 The hot morning line favorite at 1\/2 is Dreaming of Love<\/STRONG> \u2013 (4YO \u2013 Sadler\u2019s Wells X Mr. Prospector x Unbridled).\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Trained by the popular SNOWCHIEF<\/EM>, this well-bred filly should dominate this field.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Dreaming of Love has been running against the best, registering impressive speed figures.\u00a0 She\u00a0will enjoy this less competitive field and\u00a0should be in fine form.\u00a0\u00a0Jockey T. Small will have her storming by the rest of the field as they come down the stretch.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>It will be a major upset if this daughter of Sadler\u2019s Wells gets upset.<\/P>

#6 \u2013 Mintiano<\/STRONG> \u2013 (5YO \u2013 Danzig x A.P. Indy x Vaguely Noble) trained by DREAMING<\/EM> is the 4\/1 third favorite.\u00a0\u00a0She has won over $300K\u00a0in her career and\u00a0has been running well in allowance races lately.\u00a0 However this step up in class will be a challenge for her.\u00a0 Mintiano\u00a0could surprise this writer and push\u00a0Going Long Again for third place.<\/P>
