Forecasts

Meshakel (4/5), Anbar (11/2), Hawa Bilady (6/1), Mayehaab (8/1), Miami Joy (8/1), Zhou Storm (14/1), Al Baqar (50/1)

MESHAKEL didn't cut much ice in the Saudi Derby last time but is the clear pick back in these much calmer waters. Anbar may be the one to chase him home, while Hawa Bilady edges it so far as third place is concerned.
