Verdict

RB AL QAAHER (9) returned last time with a solid second at Abu Dhabi over 7f. The extra 2f here is ideal, and he is set to go one better. TAROUK DU LOUP (10) returned from a spell 9 days ago when he finished fifth over 1 ?m at Abu Dhabi. He strips fitter, drops 2f, and can figure in the top 3 MUTAMASIK (14) needed the run, and finished eighth at Abu Dhabi last time but will strip fitter for this. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Stick with him. HAMAYIM (13) closed her last prep a year ago when she finished fourth over 1 ?m at Abu Dhabi. She has had plenty of time to acclimatize to racing in this part of the world, and she is well worth including in all top 4 combos.
