Graded racing come to Germany<\/I><\/B> this week with the 3yo\u2019s set to grace the mile and one sixteenth turf course in the The Doctor Is In Memorial Grade III. <\/SPAN><\/STRONG>Just seven runners have nominated for the chance at this $150,000 purse so let\u2019s see how the compare on past performances.<\/SPAN><\/STRONG> 1 – MIRACLE MAX(CAN) \u2013 squirrel4<\/I> \u2013 7\/1<\/SPAN><\/STRONG> (NOT IMPOSSIBLE (IRE) x DISTANT VIEW x UNBRIDLED’S SONG) It is well known that squirrel<\/I><\/B> never brings a horse to the races that isn\u2019t trained up to the minute and given every chance of winning and this is no exception. A winner of three from eleven, all at a mile or further, this colt is yet to crack it at stakes level. He did catch the eye when finishing fourth over this distance in a Grade II race last time out. Will need luck to win but is definitely a top three hope. 2 –<\/SPAN><\/B> ENCOSTA ROCK(AUS) \u2013 queahora<\/I> \u2013 6\/1<\/SPAN><\/STRONG><\/SPAN> (ENCOSTA DE LAGO (AUS) x ROCK OF GIBRALTAR (IRE) x RIVERMAN) A horse who is slowly making his way through the grades and will face his toughest test so far here in this race. He is a winner of two who was well beaten at his only stakes outing. Caught the eye with a fast finishing second last time out when producing an SP# 97 over a mile. Will need to be on his best behavior to be competitive here. 3 –<\/SPAN><\/B> AGRESSOR(IRE) \u2013 hollandia7<\/I> \u2013 9\/2<\/SPAN><\/STRONG><\/SPAN> (ACCLAMATION (GB) x PINE BLUFF x CONQUISTADOR CIELO) This colt is ranked 112 in the turf classics and has the super hoop E. Bernstein<\/I><\/B> up for this event. Broke through for his maiden win just four starts back but went on with the job winning three in a row, the third of those being a stakes race over a mile which was his first outing as a 3yo. Ventured to the land down under last start for a crack at Grade 2 fame and fortune but only managed a fourth. Drops in class a little on that race for this event and is one of the major players. 4 –<\/SPAN><\/B> ENGLISH STUDENT(KY) \u2013 biggame<\/I> \u2013 9\/1<\/SPAN><\/STRONG><\/SPAN> (ENGLISH CHANNEL x AFFIRMED x GREEN DESERT) Ran a beautiful allowance race last time out when finishing second over 9 furlongs and producing an SP# 96. That was easily his best of his three outings as a 3yo. Has only won on one occasion to date and that was over 5.5 furlongs as a 2yo. Looks to be in form but also looks a little out of his depth in this one. 5 –<\/SPAN><\/B> TRIZAN(KY) \u2013 arameo<\/I> \u2013 3\/1<\/SPAN><\/STRONG><\/SPAN> (EL PRADO(IRE) x CAT THIEF x KRIS(GB)) A winner of two races who is yet to salute the judge as a three year old. Last time out produced a startling speed figure of 104 when finishing fourth, albeit only a length behind the winner. He has won a stakes race as a 2yo over a mile and has an element of class about him. If he can put his best foot forward here today a win would not surprise. 6\u00a0 <\/SPAN>–<\/SPAN><\/B> CROSSED FORM(ENG) \u2013 jmahls<\/I> \u2013 7\/1<\/SPAN><\/STRONG><\/SPAN> (DUBAWI (IRE) x CAPE CROSS (IRE) x DYNAFORMER) Has only been able to manage one top three placings in his last eight starts. The upside of that is that it was a win over 9 furlongs just two starts back. Took on a Grade II field last start and was soundly beaten. Appears to lack consistency and may find the top three or four here a little too classy. 7 –<\/SPAN><\/B> GLOSTER METEOR(KY) \u2013 locomotive<\/I> \u2013 9\/5<\/SPAN><\/STRONG><\/SPAN> (CURLIN x STORM CAT x SADLER’S WELLS) This colt is easily the yard stick in this field. A turf classic ranking of 20 coupled with a great win strike rate of four from eight put this guy a long way in front on paper. Two starts back he was a Grade II winner over a mile before a second over the same distance last start, also in a Grade II race. He has the services of top jockey T. Small<\/I><\/B> in this and it is very hard to see him getting beaten. He looks a class above this field. So it looks like a filed with one top notch runner who may leave all the others running for the minor money.
