German winner at Epsom??

the rest of the Derby Day card is also strong with some very competitive handicaps and a good international field for the Group One Coronation Cup at 15.40 CET. Our German hope Empoli (Peter Schiergen/ Adrie de Vries) takes on two well-fencied French runners, Cirrus des Aigles (Corinne Barbe/ Christophe Soumillon) and Flintshire (André Fabre/ Maxime Guyon), as well as globetrotter Joshua Tree (Ed Dunlop/ Ryan Moore) and last year´s Oaks winner Talent (Ralph Beckett/ Jim Crowley). Joshua Tree seems to run his best races in Canada, so we will leave him out, and we shall also oppose Cirrus des Aigles, even though he is by far the best horse in the race on ratings; however a mile and a quarter seems his best trip these days, he needs more rain (although they have already had a very heavy shower) and we are not sure that he will act on this track, where he is running for the first time. Empoli did not finish that far behind Cirrus and Ambivalent (Roger Varian/ Andrea Atzeni) in the Sheema Classic at Meydan, and the trainer considers that he has improved since then. If all 8 run, we think he has a decent each-way chance at odds of around 10-1.
The otjher big betting race of the day is the 5 furlongs Dash at 16.15. With 20 runners, this is bound to be run at a furious pace, with several strong front-runners in the field. Generally high numbers (stands side) are favoured here, so we have picked out 3 runners drawn near the rail - Smoothtalkingrascal (David O´Meara/ Danny Tudhope), Seeking Magic (Clive Cox/ Ryan Tate) and Taajub (Peter Crate/ Richard Kingscote). We shall also go for longshots Zampa Manos (Andrew Balding/ Oisin Murphy) at 14.35 and Christopher Wren at 17.50.
