Verdict

TAWAAREQ (4) has been out of the money in stronger races lately, including a tough run over 1 5/16m at Riyadh, but this is a clear drop in grade, and he is capable of improving sharply with the easier company. PANNING FOR GOLD (3) continues to race honestly, and his third over 1 ?m here at Group 99 level reads well for this. He's consistent, handles the trip, and looks perfectly placed to break through. WAVE RIDER (6) has been freshened since a below-par run over 1 ¼m here on the inside course, and his overall record at this distance is strong with multiple wins and placings. A return to his better form would see him competitive. BEST ADVENTURE (1) took a good step forward second-up when finishing third over 1 ½m here on the inside course, and with that run under his belt, he can figure in the top 3 again.
