Frankie Dettori timed his run to perfection on Frozen Power to win the German 2000 Guineas at Cologne.
The Oasis Dream colt had shown a good level of form at the Dubai Carnival and rounded off his campaign there with a fifth-placed finish in the UAE Derby.
Sent off the 6-4 favourite, Dettori settled his mount in mid-division on the outside of the pack and although it took him a while to hit top gear, Frozen Power always looked likely to claim the spoils and he got up late on to beat Kite Hunter in a blanket finish.
Earlier on the card Tom Dascombe's Don't Tell Mary finished unplaced in the Karin Baronin Von Ullmann - Schwarzgold-Rennen.
Having been handy in the early stages, the Hilary Needler winner was weakening when severely hampered a furlong out.
The race was won by Prakasa, trained by Waldemar Hickst and ridden Eddie Pedroza.
