Sunday's action across Europe again focuses on the juveniles, with Cologne's G3 Preis des Winterfavoriten the feature for next year's Classic aspirants and The Curragh staging the re-scheduled G3 Jebel Ali Racecourse and Stables Anglesey S. In the former contest, Gestut Hony-Hof's Sea of Sands (Ger) (Sea the Stars {Ire}) is an intriguing contender following his win in a decent 7 1/2-furlong maiden at Baden-Baden on Sept. 6 and as a relative of the Monsun (Ger) heavyweights Samum (Ger) and Schiaparelli (Ger) has much to commend her. Gestut Ittlingen's Sampras (GB) (Iffraaj {GB}) also impressed over this mile trip at Dortmund on Sept. 20 on the same card that Stall Lintec's Best of Lips (Ire) (The Gurkha {Ire}) scored with authority over nine furlongs.
In the Anglesey, the standard-bearer is the Sept. 27 G3 Weld Park S. runner-up Aunty Bridy (Ire) (Camacho {GB}), while Ballydoyle have a duo engaged in the Sept. 26 G1 Middle Park S. sixth Lipizzaner (Uncle Mo) and the Oct. 1 Fairyhouse maiden winner Preamble (Ire) (No Nay Never).
