Verdict

COMMISSIONER KING (2) is racing well, scoring two back at Sharjah before finishing not far from the winner in second last time over 1m in the G2 Al Maktoum Mile at this track. Form at this distance is strong with 3 wins from 5 starts, and he can go one better. MENDELSSOHN BAY (3) showed early speed from an outside draw last start and raced on the pace before boxing on well to finish third over 1m in the G2 Al Maktoum Mile at this track. Ideally placed and is sure to take plenty of stopping again. CROWN BOARD (5) got home by just half a length at his latest appearance over 1m at Chelmsford. He is on target to make a positive local debut. FORT PAYNE (1) closed off strongly last start to get up for third, beaten by just under a length, over 1m at Chantilly All Weather when coming back from a spell. The French form stacks up nicely in this part of the world, and any market leads will be worth following.
