Verdict

AL LAITH (2) finished 2.75 lengths from the winner in sixth last time out in Group 2 class at this track over 7f. Has a very good record over today's journey with 6 wins from 11 starts. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Sure to be in the finish. ALMOTAWASSIM (3) is racing well. Scored at Sharjah two back then finished third, beaten 2 lengths, over 1 ?m in stakes class at this track at the latest appearance five weeks ago. Ray Dawson, who has 2 wins when partnering, stays on. Likely to feature. MAGIC TOUCH (12) turned things around last start and landed the prize by a narrow margin over 7f at this track. Meeting a tougher field, but on his best form, he is right in contention. TAHHAN AL WATHBA (13) was a fair seventh in a 7f contest at this track last time out. No surprise to see him in contention.
