Verdict

DON PACIFICO (1) tackled a dirt track for the first time last start and finished second over today's course and distance, finishing only a short-head back from the winner. He brings solid form to this contest, and he can go one better. WELCOME DREAM (3) resumed over 6f at this track last start and beat the top pick by a short-head. He only carries an extra kilo, and he can repeat the dose. NAHAASH (5) is a handy type who resumes after a break of ten months. At his last appearance, he finished fifth over 7f at Jebel Ali. He will be fitter for a recent trial here, and he has never missed the frame when fresh from a spell in two starts. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position, and he may take some pegging back. COLUMNIST (4) returned from a spell three weeks ago when he was a sound sixth over 6f on the turf here. He strips fitter, so watch for a better performance.
