33/1
Useful colt who enhanced fine strike rate when landing Al Bastakiya Trial in January. Respectable 3¼ lengths third to Panadol over C&D last time but this demands more conceding weight all round.

Hit the frame on 5 of his 6 starts as a juvenile and didn't need to be at best when landing 9-runner maiden at Santa Anita (6f) last month. This understandably tougher.

Maiden who stepped up on previous efforts (visored) when 3½ lengths fourth to Panadol in a C&D listed event at the start of the month. However, he may fall short at this level.

Upwardly mobile colt who arrives having landed maiden/minor events on each of his last 2 starts at Hanshin (9f). Remains with potential for better still and he's respected.

Quickly made up in to a useful sort, making it 2 wins from 3 starts in UAE 2000 Guineas last month, getting on top close home. Possible he will yet have more to offer.

Group 3 winner for Jim Bolger who arrives having run his best race to date when third in Saudi Derby (1m) behind Pink Kamehameha last month. Claims of getting involved on that.

Flatter colt who maintained 100% record when taking a C&D listed event by ¾ length from Speight'spercomete. Made all then and he's well worth his place at this higher level. Respected.

Smart colt who caused a shock when landing 12-runner Saudi Derby (1m) last month. Had previously struggled at Group level but a repeat of his latest effort gives him solid claims.

Made it 3-3 in UAE 2000 Guineas Trial over 1m here in January. Respectable fourth in Saudi Derby (1m) subsequently but no surprise to see a better showing back here.

Improved with each outing to date, excellent ¾-length second of 12 to Panadol in listed race over C&D 21 days ago, albeit never looking like getting to the winner. Should give another good account.

Tokyo maiden winner (1m) in November and ran well when 3½ lengths fourth of 12 to La Perouse in listed race back at that venue last month. Booking of Ryan Moore catches the eye on Meydan debut.

Empire Maker filly who landed a 7f maiden in December and built on UAE 1000 Guineas second when taking UAE Oaks over C&D last month, drawing clear. This rates tougher.

Forecasts

Panadol (9/2), France Go De Ina (9/2), Soft Whisper (5/1), Takeru Pegasus (8/1), Rebel's Romance (9/1), Speight'spercomete (11/1), New Treasure (12/1), Mouheeb (12/1), Pink Kamehameha (12/1), Ambivalent (16/1), Mnasek (20/1), El Patriota (33/1), Lugamo (50/1), Fire Group (80/1)

Verdict

PANADOL built on his debut success when making all in a C&D listed event 3 weeks ago, coming from a wide draw and always holding on. That may not prove his limit and he gets the narrow vote to maintain his 100% record tackling Group company for the first time. Saudi Derby winner Pink Kamehameha, France Go de Ina and Soft Whisper are others fancied to feature.

  1. PANADOL (USA)
  2. PINK KAMEHAMEHA (JPN)
  3. FRANCE GO DE INA (USA)
