Verdict

JERUSALEMA (4) is holding her form and stayed on for a clear second over 1 ?m here last start. She handles the trip and meets a similar field, so another forward showing is expected. HATTAAB (6) arrives off a narrow win here on the inside course over this distance, showing good determination late. He drops in weight, and that sets him up to be competitive again. THE MINDER (5) was dominant in his only run last campaign, controlling the race over 1 ?m and putting a margin on them. He has early speed and should give another bold sight fresh. MAJARAH (7) hasn't quite hit the same level in her last two runs, but wasn't disgraced when fourth over this trip last time. She finds a suitable race to rebound and can be in the top 3 with a cleaner run.
