Germany gets ready to crown its leading 2-year-old on Sunday, with Cologne's G3 Preis des Winterfavoriten aiming to do exactly that; to unveil the ante-post Deutsches Derby favourite to keep the purists warm during the cold months. Sarah Steinberg saddles Liberty Racing 2021's exciting Fantastic Moon (Ger) (Sea The Moon {Ger}), who starred on debut over seven furlongs at Munich Sept. 12, while Gestut Ebbesloh's Peter Schiergen-trained Arcandi (Ger) (Zarak {Fr}) shares a similar profile having scored on debut at this mile trip at Hoppegarten Sept. 16. Cometica AG's See Paris (Ger) (Counterattack {Aus}) found only TDN Rising Star Habana (Ger) (Kingman {GB}) too strong in the seven-furlong G3 Zukunfts-Rennen at Baden-Baden at the end of August and the full-brother to this year's G3 Premio Parioli (Italian 2000 Guineas) winner See Hector (Ger) may have a speed edge on his rivals.
