Sunday, Curragh, post time: 14:37, WELD PARK STAKES-G3, €36,000, 2yo, f, 7fTField: Alibah (Ire) (Galileo Gold {GB}), Amelia Earhart (Ire) (Camelot {GB}), Black Caviar Gold (Ire) (Havana Grey {GB}), Kensington Lane (Ire) (Starspangledbanner {Aus}), Magny Cours (Ire) (Awtaad {Ire}), Minerva (Ire) (Frankel {GB}), Pivotal Attack (GB) (Pinatubo {Ire}), Smexy (Ire) (Mehmas {Ire}), Zous And Me (Ire) (Zoustar {Aus}).TDN Analysis: She may have been beaten three times so far, but there is a sense that Aidan O'Brien holds Amelia Earhart in high regard and it is worth bearing in mind that she contested the same Doncaster maiden as Whirl had 12 months earlier. She is probably a different proposition to the filly that was beaten so comprehensively on her second start by Pivotal Attack at Galway and that rival re-opposes on the back of a sixth in the Moyglare, the form of which will be tested on more than one occasion this weekend. Black Caviar Gold comes into this on the back of her dominant maiden win at Cork, as does the impressive Gowran Park winner Kensington Lane. [Tom Frary].Sunday, Curragh, post time: 15:12, TOTE GUARANTEE, NEVER BEATEN BY SP RENAISSANCE STAKES-G3, €36,000, 3yo/up, 6fTField: Art Power (Ire) (Dark Angel {Ire}), Big Gossey (Ire) (Gutaifan {Ire}), King Cuan (GB) (Tasleet {GB}), My Mate Alfie (Ire) (Dark Angel {Ire}), Spycatcher (Ire) (Vadamos {Fr}), Bounty (Ire) (No Nay Never), Crestofdistinction (GB) (Kodiac {GB}), Ides Of March (Ire) (Wootton Bassett {GB}), Queen Of Mougins (Ire) (Ten Sovereigns {Ire}), Vespertilio (Fr) (Night Of Thunder {Ire}), Fregada (Ire) (Kodiac {GB}).TDN Analysis: Some stalwarts gather here such as My Mate Alfie, Art Power and Spycatcher and with the way that the current campaign has gone for Ides Of March it will probably come down to one of the older brigade. Vespertilio is one from six at the trip, but her latest second in the Ballyogan puts her right in the mix and there is nothing progressive to deal with this time. [Tom Frary].Sunday, Cologne, Germany, post time: 16:00, MEHL-MULHENS-STIFTUNG – 63RD PREIS VON EUROPA-G1, €155,000, 3yo/up, 12fTField: Alleno (Ire) (Nathaniel {Ire}), Columbus (Ger) (Oasis Dream {GB}), Sibayan (Fr) (Blame, Egina (Ger) (Soldier Hollow {GB}), Tiffany (Ire) (Farhh {GB}), Path Of Soldier (Ger) (Soldier Hollow {GB}), Think Giant (GB) (Lope De Vega {Ire}).TDN Analysis: Sir Mark Prescott has won this with contest Albanova in 2004 and Alpinista in 2021 and sends forth last November's G1 Grosser Preis von Bayern runner-up Tiffany, who will head postward for her first start since. Her chief threats are dual Group 2 winner Sibayan, G1 Deutsches Derby fourth Path Of Soldier and G1 Grosser Preis von Bayern fourth Alleno. Of the remainder, Gestut Park Wiedingen's ultra consistent G2 Badener Stutenpreis victrix Egina makes most appeal in a competitive renewal, with her trainer Peter Schiergen seeking a sixth edition of Cologne's annual highlight. [Sean Cronin].Sunday, Cologne, Germany, post time: 15:20, DINGER'S GARTENCENTER KOLN – SPRINT TROPHY-G3, €55,000, 3yo/up, 7fTField: Breizh Sky (Fr) (Pedro The Great), Schutzenzauber (Ger) (Amaron {GB}), Espero (Ger) (Territories {Ire}), Shootout (Ire) (Areion {GB}), Vafortino (Ire) (New Bay {GB}), Dhitjari (GB) (Mehmas {Ire}), Duty First (GB) (Showcasing {GB}), Quebec (Ger) (Sea The Moon {Ger}).TDN Analysis: Breizh Sky has annexed two black-type contests this term, outpointing Shootout by a head at Cologne in June, and is taken to confirm form in this return to pattern-race company. However, he may have to give way to G1 Irish 1000 Guineas fourth Duty First, who seeks redemption having failed to beat a single rival in Royal Ascot's G1 Coronation Stakes and Newbury's G2 Hungerford Stakes in her two subsequent starts. Fellow British raider Vafortino, unplaced in last term's G1 British Champions Sprint, has run fifth in two handicaps this term and is better judged on a runner-up finish in last year's G2 City Of York Stakes. This month's G2 Oettingen-Rennen third Quebec heads the home defence.

Both have yet to shed maiden status, while Believe In Me, Swiss raider Miss Talvard and Dirty Deeds already have wins in the bag, with the latter defeating Taromina by a head when the pair met at Magdeburg two weeks ago. Peter Schiergen trainee Daiana is highly tried on debut. [Sean Cronin].Sunday, Nakayama, post time: 15:40, SPRINTERS STAKES-G1, ¥328,800,0000, 3yo/up, 1200mTField: Puro Magic (Jpn) (Asia Express), Yoshino Easter (Jpn) (Rulership {Jpn}), Danon McKinley (Jpn) (Maurice {Jpn}), Mama Cocha (Jpn) (Kurofune), Kangchenjunga (Jpn) (Big Arthur {Jpn}), Namura Clair (Jpn) (Mikki Isle {Jpn}), Satono Reve (Jpn) (Lord Kanaloa {Jpn}), Pair Pollux (Jpn) (Kinshasa No Kiseki {Aus}), Drop Of Light (Jpn) (Tosen Ra {Jpn}), Lucky Sweynesse (NZ) (Sweynesse {Aus}), Toshin Macau (Jpn) (Big Arthur {Jpn}), Yamanin Al Rihla (Jpn) (Isla Bonita {Jpn}), June Blaire (American Pharoah), Ka Pilina (Jpn) (Dunkirk), Lugal (Jpn) (Duramente {Jpn}), Win Carnelian (Jpn) (Screen Hero {Jpn}).TDN Analysis: With the 2023 and 2024 winners in here in the form of Mama Cocha and Lugal, Satono Reve faces a stiff task in his first run back from an admirable second in the G1 Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes. Plenty of Group 1 horses are on hand to complicate matters, and former Hong Kong champion Lucky Sweynesse enters on the back of a second in Class 1 company earlier this month.Monday, Bordeaux-Le Bouscat, France, post time: 15:57, GRAND CRITERIUM DE BORDEAUX – PRIX DU HONG KONG JOCKEY CLUB-Listed, €54,900, 2yo, 8fTField: Nebur (Fr) (City Light {Fr}), Siciliano (Fr) (Time Test {GB}), Arlong Fal (GB) (Study Of Man {Ire}), Suspended Sentence (Fr) (Without Parole {GB}), Mefie Toi (Fr) (De Treville {GB}), Agiota (Fr) (Birchwood {Ire}), Centauri (GB) (Sea The Stars {Ire}), Zambezi (Fr) (Zelzal {Fr}), Royal Chapel (GB) (Kingman {GB}), Swiss Moon (Fr) (Fantastic Moon {GB}), Zelzara (Fr) (Zelzal {Fr}), Waiting For You (GB) (Bated Breath {GB}).TDN Analysis: Edouard Monfort annexed the penultimate renewal of this test and is represented here by recent Listed Criterium de l'Ouest third Waiting For You, who has won one of five starts and and placed in the other four. Her rivals include the Joel Boisnard-trained Listed Criterium du Bequet fourth Arlong Fal, who was last seen taking care of Centauri and Nebur over course and distance earlier in the month. All twelve contenders have winning form and others of note in a wide open edition include Criterium de l'Ouest runner-up Zambezi, Criterium du Bequet second Agiota, British challenger Suspended Sentence and the hitherto undefeated Swiss Moon. Patrice Cottier's yard is double-handed, with dual winners Siciliano and Mefie Toi on deck, while Royal Chapel and Zelzara complete the line-up.
