ONE COOL DADDY finished runner-up in a better last time out and he can go one better and in the process register a second win from three career starts. The selection looks capable of getting the better of his rivals with Emirates Knight capable of finishing second on his return from a break. Third place can go to Dubai Philosopher who was placed on his sole start last year.
